The Hidden Hunter (GXG) *HIATUS*

14. Muscles

"Ten! Eleven! Twelv----Come on girl, you got this!" 

Sweating and panting, Nina attempted to finish her twelfth push up. Behind her, Skylar, Alexis, and alpha Dave were standing and watching her horribly fail. 

"Okay girls. I think thats enough......" the alpha sighed and massaged his temples "Listen Nina, you can barely do twelve push ups......I dont think I want you fighting as a pack soldier, none the less fighting at all." 

"Wait!" Skylar jumped in front of the alpha "What if we can promise you that Nina will be able to do not only 20....but over 100 push ups!"

"Listen, Nina aced her academic exam, why not become a teacher or doctor or something?" This time, it was Alexis who spoke.

Nina glared "Because I want to learn how to fight"

"Nina, you know I cant let you attend the pack boot camp unless you can at least pass the physical with....something. Right now, you can barely lift a bag of rice." 

"I have the solution!" Everyone turned towards Skylar who had a giant smile on her face "My dad can personally teach Nina!" 

Dave sighed "I would reconsider if that were true, but im pretty sure Arthur is plenty busy. I dont think he'll be able to make time to---" 

"Dont worry! He will! We can go ask right now!" Nina was about to protest but Skylar had already grabbed her arm. 

"Listen Sky, Im happy that you want to help me but I dont want to burden your da---" 

"Dont worry! Hes the one that asked if he could help with training" 

"Really...why?" 

"I dont know. I guess he just thinks you have the potential" 

Nina felt a grin forming on her face after hearing that. 

While walking to the Whites home, Nina and Skylar encountered Angie, Maya, and Taylor. The three sisters seemed to be arguing over something. All three of them had frowns on their faces, and looked just about ready to start tearing at each other. 

"Hey girls...." Nina wearily approached the angry females while Skylar simply stood back and watched. 

Taylor sighed and pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose "Thank god. Someone who actually has a brain larger than a walnut" 

Angie growled at her sister "What is that supposed to mean!!!" 

Maya, the shortest of the three, looked just about ready to pounce on Taylor. Nina regretted approaching the girls, but she couldnt back away, or else she feared she would become the center of attention. 

"H-hi guys" Nina wanted to slap herself for stuttering. 

"Way to look weak in front of three very angry female alphas" Nina could practically see Frost rolling her eyes. 

The sisters suddenly turned towards Nina, all with frowns. 

"Why dont we just ask Nina and see what she thinks!"

"Fine! But shes probably gonna agree with me!"

"Yea right, you two losers better hope she doesnt laugh at you!" 

Maya huffed "Alright Nina, say you were walking down the street, and a little cute bunny approaches you." Nina nodded, maybe this conversation wouldnt be that bad.....

"Then, you grab a paintball gun and start shooting the poor bunny!" Nope. The conversation took a turn. 

"Its not my fault your bunny looked like the perfect shooting target!" 

"Oh my gosh! You guys are idiots!" Taylor just shook her head and turned to leave but Mayas voice stopped her. 

"She also used one of your guitar strings to catch my poor bunny" Taylor turned around so fast Nina thought she had gotten whiplash. Before anything could register, Taylor had tackled Angie to the ground and both girls began screaming and clawing at the others face. 

Nina simply stood there while she watched everything unravel in front of her. Skylar suddenly grabbed Ninas arm and dragged her away from the three fighting sisters. 

"What was that for?"

"Yea...it was just getting good" 

"Shut up Frost. Your not helping" 

"I would rather have you see another day. If you learn one thing while being in this pack, its that you should never try to interrupt a girl fight. Especially a fight among those girls. Once, I tried splitting them up because they literally looked like they were gonna kill each other, so me being the good Samaritan I am, decided to help end the cat fight. I lost a pair of glasses, a shoe, and ended up with a bruised eye." Skylar was shaking her head at the memory. From that day on, she had made sure to keep at least 10 meters between her, and any sister fight. 

"Oh....well.....thanks?" 

"You better thank me. Wouldn't want that pretty little face of yours to end up scratched now would we." 

Laughing, Nina simply shook her head. This girl really was something. 

Before she even knew it, Nina and Skylar had already reached the house. Running up the steps and going through the door, Skylar started yelling.

"Dad!!! Daaaaaad!! DAD ARE YOU HOME!?" 

"In the backyard!" 

Nina followed Skylar in the backyard and found Arthur mowing the lawn with no shirt on. Skylars mother, Cindy, was watching him while she tended to her rose garden.

"Ew gross mom. I can practically see the drool" Nina tried holding in a giggle while Cindy simply glared at her daughter. 

Stopping the motor and grabbing his shirt, Arthur approached the two girls.

"Alright, whats up kids" Skylar frowned 

"Did you just call us kids?"

Arthur smirked as he ruffled his daughters hair. 

"Ugh stop that" Skylar swatted at her fathers hands "Anyways, Nina can barely lift a stick, so we were wondering if you could help her buff up a bit?" 

Arthur raised a brow as he looked at Nina "Not even a stick?" 

Sighing, Nina just shook her head "Okay...I can..but you know...it has to be light.." 

Arthur chuckled a little bit before getting serious "Alright. I can help you kids" Nina and Skylar looked at each other with giant smiles "but" their smiles fell "I'm really busy, so unless you girls can promise to work hard and not slack th--" 

" Promise!" Skylar and Nina both simultaneously yelled. 

Arthur chuckled before heading back to the lawn mower "We start tomorrow!" 

As soon as those words left his mouth, Nina and Skylar ran in the house and began screaming in excitement. Contrary to what Nina believed, building muscle wouldn't be all fun and games.
