At The Stroke Of Midnight

Chapter 4

I turned around and threw a punch
My punch was caught by Jake his hair wet from the rain
What do you want I growled
To talk he answered simply
Well I don't want to talk to you I answer bleakly
I tried pulling my hand free but his grip was too strong
He smiled a mocking smile and starts talking
Since you're not going anywhere I was wondering if you'd like to have a chat wit me
My blood boiled with anger
Fine I say through gritted teeth
You say that your parents are apart of the council
Yes I nodded
Then why don't we see who's better in combat me or you
Why I asked getting irritated
You know vampire and werewolf rivalry thing he answered mockingly
I wouldn't waste my time strength or energy on you I answer
As I make my way towards the dining hall a strong pair of arms grab my sides and throw me a good ten feet
I get up and my eyes meet his teasing eyes
My anger now turned into energy,in less then a heartbeat I had him flying and he landed with grace.
We tussled me throwing punch after punch
It was like a ballet he punched I ducked I kicked he dodged.
Then he grabbed my shoulders and pinned me to the ground.
I struggled to get free but he was too strong
I finally let my head rest on the cool wet earth as a song of defeat.
I expects him to gloat and mock me but instead he stays where he was
I looked up and met his eyes his stormy blue eyes
You're foot work was sloppy and your technique needs perfecting
Then he let me up and offered a hand
I batted his hand away
He smiled at that
Feisty one aren't you?
Yeah I threw back
Maybe we could train another time I said
We'll see he said
He was so friendly I thought maybe we could be friends but then quickly shot down the idea.
As if he had the same idea his eyes turned cold
We can never be friends he said darkly plus who'd want to be friends with a weak excuse of a vampire.
My heart deflated
Yeah and who'd want to be friends with a no good selfish flea bag I retorted
For a split second I thought I saw a bit of sadness in those eyes.
Then he was gone
And I was left alone in the rain
As I made my way to the dining hall for dinner I thought about what's he'd said to me "who wanted to be friends with a weak excuse for a vampire" I'd show him I swore next time we battled I would win.
