Can you love a monster like me?- a Yaujta love story

Chapter 10-Training

"Nightblood...hold on, can't we talk about this?"

"Wait!! I'm sorry!!"

"Crap! crap! crap!"

"Shit! Dead end!"

"I'm so dead!"

"It'll be okay. He said he'll go easy on me!"

"Holy Shit! I said I was sorry!"

"You better run faster, Jane!"

This morning was supposed to be the day where Nightblood was supposed to train me, I expected things like spear training, sparing, or even a little workout. This was not what I was expecting. Nightblood had a bright idea that if he scared the living hell out of me while chasing me through the jungle, it would make me a better hunter. Well, he was damn wrong! So here I was, running for my life away from the angry Yautja behind me.

Okay, I might have accidentally kicked him in the no-no spot, but it was his fault for lunging at me!

*Shit! I am so dead! Why does this count as training?!* I thought as I turned right to ran deeper into the forest.

I quickly climbed a tree, trying to hide in the leaves. I was panting but put a hand over my mouth to try and keep quiet.

I knew he could probably see my body heat, but I had to stop and think for a moment. Nightblood had explained how his mask worked, if he wouldn't let me see his face, he could at least tell me how to works. So, I know at least he could see me from the different modes in his mask.

*He's doing this for a reason. Why would he want to chase me through the jungle? * I thought and tensed up as I heard his voice, it was close...too damn close to my spot. He would see me right away, I had to move.

I decided to test out my new Yautja blood, I mean, what's the worst that can happen? A few seconds later, I was falling to the jungle floor, screaming my lungs out.

"BAD IDEA!!"

The air felt like it was taken from my lungs as I landed on something firm yet a little hard. Arms, they were arms. I made a wheezing noise as I slumped into Nightblood's arms

"You're ridiculous" He sounded amused and disappointed.

"B-bad idea. That was such a bad idea" I mumbled and Nightblood sighed while fixing my body in his arms.

"I think that's enough for right now. But, tonight we're going to do night training"

I groaned and weakly looked at him "Why can't we just finish this tomorrow?" I whined out and sat up a little, wrapping my arms loosely around his neck and the male sighed softly, like he was so done with me.

"Because, I want you to get better at defending yourself and if need be, better at hiding yourself. I could hear you running away, and that's not good. On my planet, everyone, even the unblooded can run without making noise. It's something that they need to learn to be a good hunter. If they don't know how to do that, it brings shame to them and they have to keep training until they master it" he explained to me.

I nodded my head in understanding "Okay...but what does this have to do with night training?" I looked up at him and saw that he had tilted his head down slightly before looking straight ahead

"it's harder at night than it is in day. When it's day, one can see the hunter and the prey, so it's easier to hunt and catch their prey, or run away. At night, the hunt is much harder because one cannot clearly see their prey or the hunter"

"It's harder for the prey and hunter" I finished and he nodded his head.

"Correct"

It became quiet between us two until I spoke up "but you can see my body heat with your mask, I don't think it's fair if you have that and I don't." I argued.
