A Whole New World Of Shifters

Chapter 7: New friends and swimming

Next chapter is here. Just wanted to let you know that there won't be any journal entries in this one because she gets up early for training and doesn't really feel like writing anymore. I still hope you enjoy the chapter.

Rosalie's pov.

Kick, punch, dodge and repeat. I keep telling myself to kick harder and dodge quicker but it's no use. I'm just not experienced enough yet. By the time I start to get he hand of it my trainer switches up on me and I have to relearn.

"If you don't anticipate where the moves are going to come from then your going to get killed. Your opponent is not going to use the same moves to make it easy on you." He would say every time we trained.

Its been a week since my training has started and I feel like I've learned nothing. Every night I would end up sore and bruised, and by morning I would be fresh as new to start over again.

On the bright side I have made a couple friends. I don't get to see them often but we still talk a lot. We even all went shopping once. It wasn't really for me but they seemed to love it.

The oldest one is Lyla. She has a mate, he is Tyler and he is also my friend. The one my age is Sarah. She doesn't have a mate yet. The youngest is Jackie. She hasn't found her mate yet either because she hasn't turned 18 yet. She says she will in about a month.

I also been able to call my mom once since I've been here and told me that my brother says He is going to school for his senior year too.

The only day I half way get a break on is Sunday. We only train half a day to give people a till time off before the next week. My friends have already decided that we are going to the lake.

I tried every way to excuse my way out but they were not having any of it. I couldn't tell them the truth which was that I can't swim well and the last time I tried, well it didn't end well.

*Flashback to when she was 15 and her brother 14*

"Come on sis. Jump in. Look it's just water!" my brother shouted.

I stood on the jumping board and finally jumped. I went all the way to the bottom. I violently shook and tried moving my arms. I only rised half way back to the top before sinking back down.

I couldn't hold my breath any longer and let out a scream. Water filled my lungs and my body buckled. Some one dived down into the water and pulled me to the top.

I was layed on the pool floor and the water came spilling back out of my mouth. I coughed and coughed.

"Never go in the water again." The life guard said.

I nodded and shivered. No matter what I was never trying to swim again. I was forced to stay in bed for a whole day after the accident.

*Flashback over*

The day came and training was over. I put on shorts and a T-Shirt. I would look for the part but just sun-bath. I met my friends and found out the the lake is where most young kids go when they get the day off.

Great, I think to myself. More peer pressure to worry about. We finally arrive and push through some brushes. The lake looked beautiful but I knew how deadly it was for me.

I watch as my friends strip down to there bathing suits and jump in the water. I just lay my towl out and lay down with the Sun shooting down on me.

It felt so warm and nice. I felt relaxed. That was until someone dripping came to stand over top of me blocking my Sun.

"What's the big idea?" I say.

"Why aren't you in the water with everyone else?" Ethan says.

I knew it was him because of his deep voice.

"I like to Sun bath better." I say stretching.

"Not on my watch." He says picking me up and sprinting to the water.

"No.. No...No... You don't understand!" I yell.

Before I could say anthing else he was already at the water and threw me deep in the water. I sink to the bottom and all my memories start flooding back to me.

I start to panic and violently shake. I couldn't go through this again. This time before I ran out of air someone who happened to be close pulled me up. I gasp as soon as I felt air on my lips.

I take many deep breaths and try to call myself.

"What just happened? Why didn't you come to the top?" He asks.

"Because I can't swim!!!" I yell as I shift into my fox and run through the woods. I don't know where I'm going but I just need space.

I find a hollowed out tree and snuggle my self down. I let my tears fall and my sadness out. I was never going to fit in here. I can't train right, I can't swim right, and I'm not going to find someone new who would be interested in me. I don't even know why I moved.

It started to get dark and the moon is going to be rising soon. I don't know wether I should go back or not. Maybe I should be a rogue and live on my own. That way I don't have to worry about anything. That way I don't have to worry about being judged. Maybe that's what I need to do.

So a little dramatic but hey it works right? I don't know much about drowning so I hope that part was okay.
