Before the Dawn

The Rocky Start

In the central command there stood a group of supernatural beings. "What is this business you speak of?" Ali asked as she eyed everyone in the room. The major stood up and placed his hands behind his back. "Ah, my dear vampire we are needing you." He grinned from ear to ear. "Me?" She asked in question. "Yes you, you see you are akey factor in our grand plan. We need you to find a few things for us so we can get things on the road ja?" The major walked over to Ali. "And what is this grand plan?" Ali eyed the fat man. "You will find out later fräulein." He smiled and walked over to a table with a large map laid across it. "We have determined the items to be in these general regions, and it is imperative that we find them all." Ali walks over to the table, examining the map. "These are scattered all across the globe." She exclaimed. "Indeed they are little vampire, and during these travels you will be assigned to the Captain." The major waved. "H-hey you can't dump this girl on me!" Hans protested. "Oh, and why is that?" Ali turned towards him. "You are inexperienced, undisciplined, and you are a vampire! I don't have time for the likes of you." He growled at her. "This is your assignment Hans. Train her, mold her, better than she is now." Zorin spoke annoyed. "She is already your bunk mate" Schrödinger chimed in playfully, "it makes sense to keep you two together." "Fine." He grumbled. "Good. Now go on you two, you have training to do." The major clapped his hands and dismissed them. As Ali and Hans left the room, Zorin faced the major. "Are you sure she will do what we tell her to do?" She asked feeling uneasy. He turned to her with a big smile across his face. "Yes, I know she will and once she does we can continue on with the plans." The tall man standing next to the major stepped forward. "But sir, what will happen when she finds out?" He asked while biting his finger drawing blood. "Doctor, calm down everything will be fine." Schrödinger smiled as he relaxed. The doctor turned around and picked up the boy eyeing him. "Why don't you tell us how this will work out in the end?" The doctor asked."Settle down gentlemen, we need to be positive that all this will work out in the end." The major sat back down and smiled. "Very well, I'll go make you breakfast now." The doctor dismissed himself leaving the rest to ponder what will happen.

As they walked back to the room Ali spoke out in anger. "What was that about?! How can you say I'm inexperienced and undisciplined when you don't even know me?" Hans remained silent staring straight ahead as he walked. "And what's wrong with me being a vampire?!" Ali glared up at him and looked back in front of her. "I didn't ask to be your bunk mate and I didn't ask to be teamed up with a Nazi jerk." She mumbled annoyed. Hans stopped in his tracks and looked at her. "What?" She asked annoyed. "Listen here!" Hans picked her up by her shirt collar and slammed her up against a wall. "If you keep this up I might as well kill you. You are an annoying brat and I don't have time to play games with you vampire." He snapped at her. Ali looked at him with wide eyes and gritted her teeth. He was glaring at her and then his expression soften. "Look, I'm sorry that I snapped. It's just I am not use to being paired up with a vampire and I lost my temper." He spoke softly and set her back down on the ground. "I'm sorry..." He says softly and hides his face in his coat collar. Ali looked up at him and blushed softly. "No, I am sorry. I am just new to all of this. Can we start over?" She asked softly. Hans looked at her and nod his head. "I'm Ali, your new bunk mate." Ali stretched her hand out towards Hans."I am Hans, it's a pleasure to meet you." He shook her hand."Now with that taken care of maybe we should go find a place to start training." Ali placed her hands in her pockets nervously."Well, I know one room I go to train. Let's go there and start your training." Hans replied and started walking. "Keep up." He called back to her and Ali started following him. They walked down several halls and passed different rooms. Ali was observing her surroundings just in case she gets lost. As they rounded the last corner Hans stopped at a sealed door. "So where are we?" Ali asked confused on where they were at. "We are at my training room."Hans spoke as he opened the door, inside was a large storage room. It had several crates of supplies and it was dimly lit. "This is where we will be training you from here on out so be prepared to be beaten down to the point you cannot move." Hans turned and faced her. "I won't be easy on you because you are a girl, no I won't go easy on you because you are a vampire and you are stronger than you make yourself out to be." Hans escorted Ali to the center of the room and brought his fists up. "So, let's begin."

"Ah! S-slow down!" Ali yelled as she dodges Hans punches. "Keep up!" He growled slightly and connected his fist to her stomach. "Gah!" Ali collapsed gasping for air and she curled up holding her stomach. "You're not fighting back." He stood over her and took off his coat. She looked up at him cringing and sat up slightly. "Here."He held his hand out at her, Ali grabbed his hand and he pulled her up to her feet. "Fight back." Hans looked at her and she took offher coat. "F-fine. I'll fight back." Ali brought her hands up into tiny fists and Hans stood his ground watching her closely. She charged at him with incredible speed throwing the first punch. Hans dodged it and connected his fist to her gut. Ali held her ground and brought her knee up and connected to his gut. Hans stumbled slightly and smirked at her connection. Ali panted slightly wiping blood from her lips and brought her hands up. "I'm impressed. I thought you would have given up with the second time I hit." Hans ran at her and Ali dodged him. Just as she dodged his moves he appeared from behind and brought his elbow down between her shoulders. She let a scream of pain escape her lips as she hit the ground coughing up blood. He stood over her looking down as he brought his foot down on her back pushing her down more. "Get up." He spoke coldly towards her. She whimpered slightly as she pushed against him trying to get out. "Get up!" He said slightly louder and pushed harder against her. She cried out in pain as he pushed more weight on her body. "You are weak and pathetic." He got off of her and turned away from her."Y-you're wrong." She spoked weakly. Hans turned around and saw her standing up slowly. "What did you say?" He asked staring at the beaten down vampire. "I said you are wrong!" She screamed as she moved at speeds that a mere human would have a hard time keeping up. Her fist connected to his jaw and Hans flew backwards as blood spilled from his mouth. He landed on the ground with a thud as Ali stood her ground panting. Hans slowly sat up and held his jaw that was bleeding. He looked up at the little vampire whose eyes were glowing with anger. "I am not weak!" She growled at him and darted at him. Hans stood up and brought his guard up as Ali tried to connect another hit to his face. He grabbed her arm and threw her across the room. She landed on a few crates destroying them. She groaned slightly and gasped as Hans flew from the sky landing infront of her. He slowly approached her with glowing red eyes. She cringed slightly and closed her eyes preparing for a blow. Instead he knelt down and picked up his coat. "Good job little one."He spoke as he brushed off his coat and draped it over his arm. "We may make something of you." He smirked slightly at her. "In due time." She looked up at him slightly confused and dazed. "When you regain your footing go get checked out by the doctor." Hans walked to the door to leave, paused a moment and looked over his shoulder to Ali as she struggled to stand. Hans smirked, and walked out of the room.
