Let's Start at the Beginning

Chapter Thirteen

Copyright ©

As I was speeding down the road, I told Megan to call Becca, Jack, and James, to tell them what happened. Next tell them to meet them at the training spot, at 8 a.m. sharp.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Megan's P.O.V.

What did Sean mean by training spot? I guess I will find out.

It was now midnight, and I was shaking. I lived in New York, and I'm cold at, what, 50 degrees? I have officially gone crazy. Sean was trying not to fall asleep, because we had to go to this "training spot".

An hour later, we pulled into this beautiful buildings! It looked like one of those huge cathedrals in Mary Poppins. I sat there, in awe, before I snapped back into reality, when Sean opened the door for me.

"Come on, sweetheart, we need to get some sleep for later today. It's going to be a long day. "

I just nodded, and obeyed him. I followed him to the door. He did some weird knock/tap thing with his fist, and the door opened...

Sean lead me up to our room. Up this staircase, it was what we call a grand staircase, it had red carpet over the wooden stairs, and it had black railing to keep you from falling. The staircase is in the shape of one of those slides at a park, that you have to climb to get to the top, and then it would going loops to the bottom.

Once we got to the hallway, Sean closed his eyes, held my hand, and then lead me through the hallway, might I add blindly, and opened a door, that I didn't even know was there.

I stopped, and looked at the door Sean just went through. Oh! The door blended in with the wall paper!

I opened the door, and heard the shower running. I looked around the room, and it was a normal room. A king size bed, a night stand on each side, along with a lamp, and of course, a closet.

I plopped down in the bed, and sleep overcame my body. I shut my eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sean's P.O.V.

When I got out of the shower, I went to lay down. I sat down on my side of the bed, and looked at my girlfriend. She looked so peaceful sleeping, so, I feel asleep with her. I would only have ruffly seven hours of sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, was training day. I got up, and dressed in black jeans, a black shirt along with my leather jacket, and black boots. Now, I have to wake up sleeping beauty...

I gently shook her.

"Hmm wha?"

I chuckled at Megan's attempt to talk in the morning. She never has been a morning person. "It's time to meet up with the gang. I already picked out your clothes. Black shorts, a black tank top with your leather jacket, and your boots. Now get up, we have a busy day, and lots to learn."

***

An hour later, the whole gang was there.

"Okay, now we need to be able to go against Nicolas and his team. So, we need to learn how to fight. But first, we need to pair up, which I will be assigning."

I stopped talking, so I could get my check board. I looked over it, really quickly, and then spoke again.

"Jack and Becca. Megan and I, and James, since Lily couldn't make it right now-"

The door slammed open, and Lily ran in, panting.

"What did I miss?"

"Well, you were going to miss training, but now you're not. I paired you up with James. Okay everybody, get with your partners, and start fighting!"

I walked up to Megan, and I stood my stance. I teamed myself up with Megan, and Jack with Becca, to teach them that no matter who you have to fight, even if they are a loved one, you have to defend yourself.

She made the first move. Bad choice. Lesson Number One, you never make the first move. Megan did a back hand spring towards me, and while she was in the air, I grabbed her legs, and slung her onto the floor.

She instantly got up, shook off, and we started circling each other. I'm not going easy on her, so I'm not making the first move. She obviously learned from the first time, don't make the first move. Megan leaped at me, but then she realized what she was doing, and tried to tumble down and knock me off my feet. Good move, but Lesson Number Two, always keep your eyes on your opponent. I jumped over her, and she rolled off the mat.

Again, she got up, and shook it off. Now, I needed to make the first move, to teach her how to throw punches. I moved towards her, and went to punch her. Out if nowhere, she got this strength, and blocked my punch, and then punched my stomach. Honestly, I wasn't expecting that. But I was expecting her to try and kick me. She kicked, and I dodged. In the background, the whole time, we could hear fighting. But then it got quiet.

I looked around and saw everyone watching us. That's when I noticed Megan. But it was too late.

I was tackled to the ground, with my back on the mat, and Megan laughing at me, because she finally won.

***

After we were done training, we all were sweaty messes, so we each took a shower. I mean, there are like ten rooms, each with a bathroom.

Jack, Becca, James, Lily, Megan and I went up stairs, all laughing at the little tackle that happened.

Jack, Becca, and Lily took the three left bathrooms, while James, Megan and I took the three right bathrooms.

***

An hour later, we were all piled back in the gym, talking of ways to defend ourselves, and when we think they would figure out that we were gone.

Megan thought for a second, before saying, "We could have rules. Like Sean has, like Lesson Number One, and Two, but make them more precise, and more likely of not getting knocked out."

We all looked at her. That was a genius plan! That's when we all started talking at once, naming some new rules.

"Quiet! Okay one at a time, so I can hear them, and everyone can too. Megan, since you had this idea, why don't you start us off?"

"Rule Number One. Never break eye contact."

Lily goes next, "Rule Number Two. Never make the first move."

So far, these rules, are just my Lessons.

Jack speaks up, "Rule Number Three. Don't fight more people than you can handle. I mean, I know that's an obvious one, but people still do that."

We all nod in agreement, and hear Becca go next. "Rule Number Four. Always carry a weapon. We never know when They will show up."

"Great ideas! Okay, so now, we should eat, I'm starving!" Megan just reads my mind sometimes...

We all nod, stand up, and just like Rule Number Four days, we all grab a weapon. Then,as a group, head for the kitchen.

Lily cries out in pain, and then Becca does too. Suddenly, Nicolas and his crew, are standing right in front of us.

So... It took me forever to write this, I hope you appreciate it! I feel like I dragged this chapter on, but I hope you enjoyed :)
