Reverse (Book 1 of The Hybrid Chronicles)(Completed and *Unedited*)

Chapter 14 - Training Part II

Mr. Akon stood out in the field of students. Most stood with confidence. They held a stake in their right hand. Just as he was about to speak, Kalen and Jace decided to join them. 

"Mr. Veith. Ms. Summers." He said with a tone of venom layered in his voice. 

Kalen looked up. She could think of him killing her with one fatal move. The sharpened stake trembled serverly in her hand. 

"Yes." She croaked out as students turned their atenton to her. Jace turned to look at her. He gave a reassuring smile. 

Mr. Akon walked up to her, looking up and down from her as she was hiding something, but he already knew that. 

"Good to have you back. Im sure your 'vacation' is long over?" He spat. 

Kalen gave a small smile to Mr. Akon. "Yes." She said quietly. All she could picture was his hands around her neck or stabbing her with a stake adding a mencingly laugh as she dies. 

"Well." Mr. Akon clapped his hand together, his eyes still on Kalen. "Im sure you wont mind be a demonstation dummy." 

She shook her head and with a smile trudged to the front of the line of students whose eyes were watching her and only her. He leaned into her, his gin and tonic breath making her gag. 

"If you want to live til the end of today, I want you to surrendor and let me hurt you...after all, thats what I did." He threated in her ear. 

Kalens eyes watched Jace who gave her a worried look. The stake was held limp in his hand. 

Mr. Akon moved his mouth away and with a sigh, gave Kalen a dark glare. "Today students. We are going to learn to stun a vampire. Obvisously you see these are very sharp stakes. For us to train, I want you guys to use whatever you find her block the wood." He shouted amoungst the eager students. 

"Kalen Summers will be demstration." Mr. Akon stood tall as he watched Kalen with watchful eyes. He was a preadtor hunting for its prey. They moved around a  circle looking at each other, unantciaptated each others moves. 

Kalen struck first. She held the stake and aimed for his shoulder blade. She knew his next move. Mr. Akon brought the stake up to her stomach but Kalen was seconds faster catching his wrist and twisting it. 

Mr. Akon jumped back and hid his wrist as he healed it. "Now you try!" Al students paired up with another person doing exactly as they were told. 

Kalen gave a smirk to Mr. Akon. "Dont underestiamte me. You should be more afriad." She turned her back and made her way back to Jace as a rough hand grabbed her back to Mr. Akon. 

"And as a student..you must listen to your teacher." Mr. Aon hissed in her ear looking at a speechless Jace. "Jace, get with Annabeth. " 

Annabeth stood quietly watching the fight between Kalen and Mr. Akon. How could she do that?, She thought as Jace appraoched her. He gave her a small smile as he nervously gazed over to Kalen who was now physically fighting Mr. Akon. 

"Im Annabeth." She said softly as she raised the stake to guard her chest and heart. He gave a small smile raising the stake just as she did. It was almost like sword fighting expect with wood and vampires. 

"Im Jace." He said shakily. She wasnt sure if he choked or he couldnt manage out of the name.

She tried to slash for his chest but he forced the stake to go to the side of him, barely touching him at all. She came back as he tried to aim for but she was too quick for him. With a movement, she had the stake pointed at his heart with Jace in a head lock.
