Right after I was told, I gave Christina the head, then went straight to my housing area. Lillian and Isabelle were both there, and I just barely noticed them as I collapsed into bed with a yawn. It was at that point when Lillian decided to slam me with questions - lots of them. Still, I decided to give in to her pestering, and I answered her questions.
"Why were you gone for two days?" She asked first.
"Well, Christina said that if I could find a grey eyed man, kill him, and bring back his head, that I could go and get my revenge on Moone. So, I went into the human town nearby, found a grey eyed man, killed him, and then brought back his head."
"You're going to get revenge on Moone?" Lillian asked. She wrapped me in a hug. "I'm so happy for you, Adara. Say, could you put in a good word with Christina for me? I've been waiting for what feels like forever to get my revenge."
I gave a small, lighthearted laugh, then replied. "Of course. I mean, you're like, my only friend here. Excluding Christina, of course. And friends are supposed to stick together, aren't they?"
"They are." Lillian smiled. "I'm gonna let you sleep. I'm pretty sure that Christina'll come when it's time for you to go. Or prepare to go or something. This hasn't happened in a while, you know. She says that you're really powerful; stronger than anybody's been."
"Well, that Moone said that there might've been a mix up when he turned me. Something about giving me more power than he should've. Well, I'm glad that he gave me this power. It feels great, you know. But I'm going to go to sleep now. If Christina hasn't woken me up when you get back from your training, please wake me up."
"Can and will do." Lillian replied.
I climbed under the covers, wrapping a blanket all around me and drifting quickly into the much needed sleep. It felt like just a few seconds that I was asleep, but I was told that it was about ten hours of sleep. That right there showed you how tired I was. I had been woken up by Lillian, which meant that Christina hadn't woken me. She probably didn't want to interrupt my sleep, knowing that I hadn't slept in two days. I had explained that fact to her earlier on.
I climbed out of bed, then went to the bathroom and got a change of clothes. My hair was a matted mess, so of course I spent a good five or ten minutes getting through that. I brushed my teeth, and saw that my teeth were noticeably sharper. I shrugged, setting the new feature's appearance aside. It'd add to the look, and that wasn't all that bad, now was it? I was going to make Moone bow before me, then I'd shove a blade into his neck. He wouldn't go quickly. I'd rough him up and make him bleed before I killed him. He would feel pain.
I began walking to the training area, where Christina still was. Was she there all the time, or was she only there at random times when I needed her? Probably the first.
"You need some blades." Christina said. "You may not have needed them on your first venture out of camp, but you will need them on your second venture out. Moone may be a coward, and he may hesitate to use his own power, but if he is close to death, he might do it. The chance is low, but it is a chance. I'm going to get you all sorts of types of knives, then show you how to use each type before you leave. Alright?"
"Okay. It won't take too long, will it?"
"It won't take long at all, Adara. I can assure you that. Maybe about five minutes per knife type, or until you get the hang of it. Either way, it won't take long. Wait here."
Christina walked away, and I waited for her return. Anticipation was rushing and churning through me. I could hardly wait. You know that feeling when your birthday is the next day, and you can hardly sleep because your mind keeps coming up with what it'll feel like or what'll happen? That was how I felt, except sevenfold. I could hardly wait, and every second felt like an hour.
I could vividly see Moone in my mind, and I could clearly imagine taking a gleaming knife and stabbing him in his neck with it. I could clearly imagine his screams, and I knew that I wouldn't hesitate when I had the chance to kill him. He would feel the true burn and sting of my revenge, and that would teach him a lesson. Though, when he finally would learn it, he'd be dead, so it was a sort of win-win situation.
Christina returned a few minutes later, with different knives in each hand. "I want you to take one of the throwing knives and hit that tree over there." Christina handed me a throwing knife, and I tried to make it hit the tree. I failed, sadly, and so I ended up trying again.
The 'short training session' ended up lasting almost two hours. By then, it was night, and the sky was dark, with the occasional small cloud. The moon shone down, full, radiant, and bright. It was what helped guide me when I left the camp for the second time, and headed to Moone's lair. Alright, so it was more of a building, but you get what I meant.
When I finally reached Moone's building, I saw a large wire fence guarding the building. It was new, because when I had ran away from Moone, it wasn't there. Still, it was easy enough to get up - anybody could've climbed it - and once I was over, I charged in, ready to take my revenge.
