I was so sore after fighting Finch, we were a good match but I still was stronger. After the man I heard name was Bertrand Havov, called me the winner I nearly collapsed onto the ground.

"Now, while we watch the next match Grey and Finch will be attended by the new medical team we organized", Bertrand boomed. On cue I heard the door open and Tessa along with three others walk in. I blinked away the sweat that dripped in my eyes. She headed straight for us, I was sitting on the floor with Finch along side with me. Tessa knelt down next to me with a kit. Her hair was pulled into a bow and her brown eyes searched my body. To be honest I didn't mind the body search.

"Are you hurt or cut in anyway", she asked checking my face.

"No, I'm just thirsty. Do you have a bottle of water with you. I could really use it", I grinned sleepily. I didn't know how much the fighting really took out of me. When she produced a bottle of water from her kit I nearly swallowed the bottle itself. And afterwards I was still thirsty. She handed me a towel, and I hurriedly wiped my face off then sat up straighter.

"I didn't know you worked for the princess too", I said and glanced over a Finch who was obviously loving the attention of the three other girls.

"Yeah, I had orders not to tell anyone about it. But you never thought of why I was on a private jet with you and that other girl", she asked wonderingly. I shrugged,

"Not in the slightest. I wasn't paying attention to why a pretty girl like you be on a plane that sent me to a vampire. I kinda hate them", I sighed. She looked at me questioningly but didn't say anything, and I glad she did. I was getting over Sloan and I didn't want more reminders.

"Oh okay. So what's up with you and that girl. She keeps looking over here", Tessa asked glancing to her left. I looked to find India looking. She looked at me then at the Tessa questionly. I shook my head and she took the answer and returned her attention to Bertrand.

"She's your girlfriend?", she asked. I nearly jumped up,

"No, no. She's just my bestfriend,...overly protective though", I said horrified. She nodded and sat down next to me.

"So did you hear the news. We all are invited a party in honor of Princess June 87th birthday party. She didn't want a ball so she stuck with a party. All of her guards and medical team can come", she said devoid of interest. I raised my eyebrows at her,

"We are?,... I guess they haven't told us yet. You going with anyone?", I asked innocently. She stiffened a little and hesitated before answering.

"No, how about you?",

"Nope", I answered and began whistling.

"Just go together you idiots. Before I force you to", a voice said to my right. I turned my head and gave Finch a look. He grinned at me, and held his hand out. I shook it, he sounded sincere enough.

"Eric Finch. Couldn't help but hear your conversation", he said pointing to his ears. I turned back to Tessa who was avoiding my gaze,

"Would you like to go with me", I asked softly. She broke off into a smile.

"Yes", she answered just as quietly.

"Medics you're free to go", Bertrand shouted across the room where two Rahuls were struggling against each other. Tessa blushed,

"Guess I need to leave. See you there", she smiled and walked away. I noticed a bounce to her step as she left. Me and Eric headed back to the group. India approached me.

"You and Tessa seemed tight", she said nodding to the leaving medic team.

"Yeah, we talked back and forth but this time I got something out of it. We're going to June's party tomorrow",

"Aww, my bestfriend got a girl. Don't do anything stupid with her", she commented and then turned back to Bertrand's deep voice.

"She has a thing for you, mate", Eric whispered to me.

"I heard that", India called out. He gave me a 'oops' look.

"What's that supposed to mean", I said as he went to the front of the group. Either he didn't hear me or India's stern look made him quiet.

**********************************************************************

The next part of the training session is lifting weights. At least that wasn't hard. We had to do squats, bench press, and power clean. I had a good time, I even bonded with Eric. He's British, although his mother was an American he adopted his accent from his frequent trips to his father, until he was chosen to become a guard of a princess.

"So, I heard that you had a nasty grudge against an vampire", he grunted as he lifted the weight back onto the bar.

"Yeah, my father was almost turned by a vampire. I am going to make sure I kill him", I answered leaning against a wall.

"Why didn't your father and him get along", he asked, wiping his face with a towel.

"I remember Sloan telling me, but I was young and my memories aren't clear enough. Bit of pieces came back, like he said that Asyrd was involved in some secret society called Doiŕ or something. They had did experiments with humans that included witch magic. I don't know,...the council had it shut down hundreds of hears ago", I said. Sloan never really talked of his past life. I wondered what was up with Asyrd and him, besides him killing villages a couple of hundred of years ago. The council had kept the secret and information on it to themselves.

"Experiments, blood, Magic, and Vampires", Eric began," sounds kind of kinky", he grinned, I chuckled at the elusive image he came up with.

"But no, seriously you never tried to find out what Sloan did for Asyrd to try and kill him. I mean it's a little fishy", he asked. I shrugged it off,

"Yeah I know. I even have a lead on where to find Asyrd", I stated solemnly. He glanced up surprised.

"You going to take that lead, right",

"Yeah I just need to get her alone. Which, mind you, is very hard. Probably impossible", I answered. He frowned,

"It's the princess isn't", he asked carefully. I grimaced and nodded.

"If you kill her Azoro, I'm have to hunt you", he retorted protectively.

"And I would never put anyone in that situation. I just might have to force the answer out. No pain involved", I said reassuring him. He nodded and slid back underneath the bar. Lets hope it never gets to that.

Is Asyrd really involved with the Doiŕ group? What are this expiremnts that Azoro told Eric about? To find out you already know what to do.

P. S. Whoever is still reading I want to thank you🙌✌💯💯
