hey guys here is an update next few chapters are going to be packed, I promise things are getting intense soon, the future isn't that far away.

It had been maybe two weeks since Amethysts' visit, but considering I've virtually lost the ability to keep track of the days it could've quite possibly been longer. I gripped the side of the small sink of what I've grown to call the shower room of Demetria's den. I stood half dressed. I have grown stronger, I heard Nathaniel mention that I recovered well from the starvation induced by Bloodclan. Along with that, my injuries healed quicker than he thought. Although Cinder stated that had been, probably due to my being a partial vampire, and from what I've come to gather a powerful one at that. Demetria seems to allow her caring side to show but only to switch to cold and emotionless within seconds. I stared at my tattered, damaged, and repulsive bodys' reflection in the heavily tarnished mirror that hung above the sink. I held the edge of the cool metal tight enough that my knuckles had turned white. Tears streamed down my face when my gaze traveled over the healing wounds, scars, home style stitches and bandages that still covered my skin. I angrily released my grip on the sink and took a step back, I then turned I was unable to look at my reflection anymore. Demetria burst into the shower room, She stated "Stop that." I had cast a final glance at my reflection before I replied "Do you mind!" She growled and her eyes seemed to glow a slight red when she said "The emotions I perceived from you were those of... great anger and sadness. Stop thinking like that." I had gone to slam my hand against the metal sink in rage but she caught it, and gripped it tightly as I replied "Please leave me to finish getting dressed Demetria." She snarled "Fine! You must stop this, I am tired of babying you human, we are again training today. I do not want you to injure yourself, you are still healing as Nathaniel continues to remind me, although today I will discontinue training you at what you'd call an elementary level, from now on your training will consist more of a... medial level." I sighed hissing "Fine, whatever you want, Leader Demetria," under my breath. Her eyes glowed a bright red and in a blur she had me held up by my neck and pinned against the wall in a firm grip. She spat "I am tired of your attitude and your behavior. I am the reason you are alive. I am the reason you were saved. I am tied to you through the original bond. I can not change the future or the past. You will be courteous and you will stop your irradical actions." She leaned forward and snarled "Do not ever disrespect me again human." Then she released me and I collapsed to the floor, I took a deep breath as something I can only describe as immense, unbridled fury, it consumed me, I couldn't control myself. Saber must have sensed something was wrong, his paws pattered down the hall and gradually got louder the closer came to the shower room. A few seconds later he burst into the small shower room and stood at Demetria's side and whined continuously as he circled my feet. 

I stood up and grabbed her shoulder as she was walking out of the small shower room, Demetria whipped around flashing her fangs, the irises of her eyes blazed red. I snarled "How dare you, speak to me like that! I am not some pet you can scold and command Demetria, I am tired of obeying and listening. It's time you treated me with more respect and caring. Flash your fangs, growl, snarl, drink from me, I don't care, you can't hurt me, the bond won't let you. I am tired of this of all of this, I would rather be dead anyway then be stuck here living this screwed up life, with vampires and fate." I was startled by amount of anger in my voice, and I could feel myself physically shaking with rage. The moonstone necklace I wore emanated a vibrant blue which gradually grew brighter with each second. I opened my mouth slightly and felt fangs descend from my canines ever so slightly and a low growl came from my lungs. What the hell is happening to me? I can't control my own actions, it's as if something deep within me has broken free and is running rampant through my mind. Demetria stared at me frozen in place her mouth was gaped marginally seconds later she composed herself. I went to take a step forward but Saber barked fiercely and stood infront of Demetria growling at me. I was dumbfounded never had he ever growled at me before. Demetria stuttered for what I believed was the first time in all her years, she stuttered "I-I uh...Si-Sierra listen to me I need you to trust me, c-." Demetria cut herself off and puased glancing at Saber. It felt like I wasn't in control of my own body, I could feel the rage in me building up almost like a pot of water on its way to boiling over. I had been cast aside, almost as if I was watching this other side of me take over. Saber padded to Demetria's side, he whined loudly and he pawed her at foot. Seconds later Saber cast a glance at me and she commanded "Go get help," Saber ran out of the shower room back in the direction he came from. Demetria stated "If you do not calm down, you will hurt yourself further, half my territory will be destroyed by your rage, and several of my group members will be severely  wounded trying to contain you, is that what you want?" I snarled spitting "I have no care, for your territory, your group members or myself." I was barely aware of the words that shot from my mouth. She flashed her fangs and growl came from her before she composed herself and stated "You leave me no choice, Sierra." She lunged at me and I ducked, it seemed as if we both moved in slow motion, and I had all the time in to world to react, but everything around us moved in a blur. We grappled with each other, moving in a blur, I pinned Demetria to the ground after what felt like seconds.

She hissed her eyes glowing, I could've sworn I saw fear in her eyes as she hissed in frustration. I stated "Stop playing games with me, you keep saying that I have no idea the power I'm capable of, well let me tell you something, why don't I just figure out how powerful I really am? What do you think of that!" Demetria growled as I stood up and forcefully slammed her into the wall of the shower room. She seemed to accept my actions, and it seemed as if she was playing a part, and would take me down if she needed to, but she wanted to see how far my rage would go. Suddenly I heard pawsteps and the swift moving of footsteps near, and seconds later I heard Moore let out an erie cry then I heard a whoosh of air as he rushed at me in a blur. I reacted out of pure instinct, I shifted my hands to pin Demetria up against the wall by her neck, and I outstretched my hand to meet Moore as he rushed at me. I watched as my hand slammed into his chest and he was flung backwards, breaking through the wall past the doorway of the bathroom, he was sent reeling into the room on the other side. He sat up and commanded "Restrain her!" Demetria spat "No one may touch her..."I heard something hit the ground, and looked to see it was a used syringe, I brought my gaze to meet hers. She looked me dead in the eyes and said "Let me go Sierra, I know you feel overwhelming anger currently, it will pass soon." I released my grip on her as blackness began to edge my vision and I began to collapse, Demetria moved in a blur to catch me before I hit the ground. I could feel my body begin to convulse. Demetria seemed to be speaking but I couldn't understand what she had said I noticed Sabers soft fur brushing my skin and the blue glow of the moonstone necklace faded as darkness took over and I fell into unconsciousness.

I awoke with a start causing Saber to jump from the bed. I lurched forward sitting up I screamed "Stop!" Demetria slammed open the door and I looked at her fear filled my expression. She said "You experienced your first rage, and I apologize for injecting you with the Solanaceae and Eldershade serum. It was the only way to stop you from desecrating my territory and my group without resulting in your serious injury. I nodded feeling exhausted, agonized and nauseous, Demetria grabbed my arm and stuck me with a syringe injecting some dark purple substance. I didn't bother questioning her, she smiled momentarily before she stated "I thought you were actually going to kill me during your rage.I had never seen a moonstone luminess that brightly before, your eyes had a vibrant orange glow, and you had an expression of anger I had never seen anyone bear before. It was the first time in my long expanse of a lifetime that I felt pure and utter terror." She turned to me and searched my eyes before she said "Rest, I going to train you to control your rages' when you recover. According to Nathaniel, you should be better by dusk, I will be back then." She left after giving me a final, long look from the doorway. It unnerved me, that she said "It was the first time in my long expanse of a lifetime, I felt pure and utter terror."  The fact that I being only a partial blood vampire, mostly human, could terrify Demetria Slanter, leader of the Char vampire group, and descendant of Leatha, the 'True Blood.' She is one of the most powerful vampires in all of Fangwoods. If she is afraid of me then I've never been more scared of myself in my whole life.
