Queen of Blood (girlxgirl) [ON HOLD]

Chapitre 2 - One Of Those Days

Blaize

Once again I was lying flat on my stomach, exhausted and defeated. My muscles were aching terribly, I probably had cuts and bruises all over the place. Hard to admit, but my weak ass body was reaching its limits.

"Well, well. Look who is kissing the ground yet again. Tell me dearest, how does the sand taste like today?" He mocked, a smile plastered on his damn face.

"Oh fuck off..." I mumbled still face against the floor.

"What did you say your Highness? I can't seem to hear you very well." He shook his head in disapproval. "You have to do better than this. Much better. How can you expect to protect the Imperial Pack and the rest of your kind when you can't even scratch your own bodyguard?"

I bit my tongue to keep myself from talking back. Reacting to his provocations won't help right now. Instead I tried to gather as much energy as I could while remaining as still as possible.

I heard him calling my name once or twice - I couldn't tell - before he decided to slowly approach when I didn't move, probably thinking I passed out. I waited until he was close enough to launch one last attack with my remaining strength. Rising myself from the ground in a speed I didn't know was mine, I swiftly kicked the back of his knee hard making him stumble. Before he could recover from his surprise, I made a backflip kick aiming for his chin.

Much to my disappointment when I could almost feel the tip of my feet hitting its target, Angus dodged my kick and with his insane speed appeared right behind me. Shit, too fast! He tried to imprison me inside his four bulky arms like the last couple of times, but failed when I miraculously dropped myself into a squat position just in time. Taking full support from the floor, I jumped with my back still facing my opponent and made a turn to back elbow him on the face, subconsciously using my power in the process.

I could feel adrenaline rushing through my veins. Static started to fill the air, time seemed to momentously slow down as electricity was vibrating through each fiber of my body. Never before the sensation was this intense. Somehow, I managed to concentrate all this energy right on the edge of my elbow.

The light grew stronger partially blinding both our vision, he didn't have time to dodge nor block and took the strike square on the jaw. The impact sent him flying to the opposite side of the arena. His body however unexpectedly disappeared mid-air, signalling that he was now using his power as well.

As soon as my feet touched the floor, I span around quickly looking for any sign that could have given away his position, whether his shadow or air movements, in vain. Where the hell did he go?! Right after my mind formulated the question, I felt something brushing the top of my head. I didn't even have time to look up before being literally crushed by 400 pounds of hard muscles in a heavy thud.

He was sitting on my back, with zero intention of moving anytime soon.

"Your power has greatly improved. That's good, very good. A regular wolf would have been knocked out cold." I heard him saying. "It's a shame that you didn't respect my instructions though. We are here to improve your combat skills. It is not my job to take care of anything else..."

I huffed in frustration. 

It was annoying getting told over and over that what I did wasn't enough. I didn't understand why they had such high expectations, knowing who I was. Putting so much faith in me was completely insane.

"...Not to mention you almost burnt my hair off."

At that, I turned my head to catch a proper look of him despite the very uncomfortable position. I couldn't resist snorting at the sight. The side of his face was pitch black, all of his so beloved hair was slightly curly and standing, and his hair was not short.
