The Vampire Queen

Chapter 3

Archery

The room has a flat screen TV, a large king sized bed, a vanity with a stool, an on suit, a large dresser, and a walk in closet. Mira displays weapons around the room, she hangs and puts her clothes away, she sets her bed, and she puts her toiletries in the restroom. Once she's done, Mira takes a shower. She wraps a white towel around her body before walking out into her bedroom.
"Why didn't you take caution with me in here?" A masculine voice fabricates from the darkness.
"It is my job to protect you from other threats. Not to protect myself from false danger," Mira replies. She walks into her closet and turns the light on, then Mira dresses into (panties) sweatpants and a sports bra. She walks back out to be caught in a chokehold.
"Were you saying I'm not a threat?" He asks.
"Not to someone like me," she peels his arm away from her throat before taking a few steps forwards.
"Prince James, you need to leave my room. We will see each other more tomorrow," her voice stays monotone the whole time.
"You too huh," he looks at her, "I'm not fully incapable of protecting myself." He turns his back but stops when Mira says,
"I know that, which is why I have no intentions on forcing you to do anything." He leaves without a word. Mira combs her hair before falling asleep feeling utterly alone.

She changes from her sweatpants to yoga pants and a loose fitting shirt(with undergarments, obviously). She walks downstairs to the kitchen. Mira grabs a glass and fills it halfway with blood from the fridge. She chugs it before wiping her mouth.
"You're late," the younger brother looks up at her while grabbing an apple. He bites into it but never looks away from Mira. This prince did look skinny but he does have some muscles.
"Look, I wasn't told to train anyone. I'm willing to do it, but I wasn't told to. So don't push my buttons," she warns. Mira follows the young prince to the castle's 'training room.' James is standing at the targets for archery. The room smells of sweat, there are some mirrors around on the walls, weight machines were brought to the side to make way for archery space.
"Why didn't you learn this years ago?" Mira asks but sounds more like her normal talking instead.
"We never had the chance to hire a teacher," the girl replies.
"Alright," she grabs three bows and handles then to the vampires, "pull back on the string bit don't let it go." They all pull it back with some ease.
"Now do it again for thirty seconds," Mira watches closely, "now keep pulling back and get into your position to shoot." None of them do it right and it is all different than the other positions. She walks up to Rebecca. Adjusts her so that her feet are apart, her pull back arm is up, she's looking forwards, and she's using her abs.
"This is the perfect stance for archery," the boys look at their sister, "it works, if you do it right, every time." Mira grabs her bow from the black case next to the door. She grabs an arrow then gets into the stance. She pulls back, aims, and let's the arrow fly. A satisfying thunk fills the room. The arrow is at the bullseye.
"Don't think about it, just get into the potion I told you then, shoot," she hands everyone an arrow. Everyone loads and pulls back. She walks behind James.
"You'll break your pinky if you do it that way," he adjusts, "touch your thumb and pinky together on the string. Then pull them under your chin." He does this.
"Aim for the middle then let it go," she steps away. James shoots and gets into the circle just outside the bullseye.
"Good," Mira walks away to a machine.
"Aren't you going to help us?" The younger sibling asks.
"You don't need any help, just practice."
