The Dangerous Awakening

Something Will Come Out

Léon had called Rocco so he could take Alyss to their room to rest. Apparently she's had it the worst since her powers had bonded with me. I decided not to bring up the threat to her kids, in order to not ruin her mentality. I decided to start fighting, Léon being my sparring partnering. We didn't talk much, I didn't talk to him more than I needed to, even if I knew exactly how I felt about him. He treated me coldly and without much reason.

Léon always ended up topping me but he never actually hurt me. I bet he really wanted to. Rocco, Dennis and Damien all came to help and give pointers occasionally since they had nothing better to do. I also learned that their are five brothers teaching here too. Byron, Vince, Loren, Jaxon and Zander.

When I got down the basics it was Rocco's turn to teach me with the five brothers. I stood outside with just spandex and a sports bra. I wasn't cold but I was extremely self conscious. Rocco stood directly in front of me, I was worn out and tired.

"Our roles are switched," Rocco gave me a sad smile and I patted his bicep trying to reassure him. "I will teach you how to use organic substances in order to absorb energy, I know you're human but I feel like this should work on some degree." Rocco placed my hand on a tree and told me to use it. "This will come to be your nature but think about its life and energy."

"Okay," I closed my eyed and focused on a tree. I couldn't help but start laughing. "Sorry I got the giggles." I started to crack up making the six dragons around me roll their eyes. They were getting used to my weirdness. "Okay! Focus!" I placed both my palms on the tree and felt fuzzy inside. "I can't!" I covered my laughing mouth.

"Geez," Rocco rubbed his forehead. "How about we do what you did to me?" I turned to Rocco now terrified from the glint in his eyes. "This will be very fun."

"Oh god," I stared at him petrified.

"Dad!" Rocco called out to Necator who appeared with a grin. "Let's use Draconis Virtutem."

"What's that?" I regretted asking because soon enough four giant blue, transparent dragons appeared and roared down at me. "That's not funny!" I turned back down to Rocco and Necator who were only smiling like idiots. "Just in case no one has noticed, I'm human and those are dragons."

"Well then you should concentrate on organic energy." Necator told me making me laugh at the fuzzy feeling I remembered not too long ago. "See?! Not concentrating!"

"I can't fight dragons!" I crossed my arms and the dragons snarled at me not intimidating me at all. "No one is objecting to this?" I looked to the brothers who were all holding back their fits of laughter like children. I guess I was doing the exact same thing.

"Hey now, we must remember not to scare her away." Dennis appeared with Damien making me feel absolutely relieved that they wouldn't release the dragons on me just to teach me how to suck trees from their life. "Léon, fight Vanessa until she can no longer stand up." Léon stood up and I turned to my two guardians astounded.

"He's a dragon!" I pointed to Léon. "I'm terrified!"

"Léon wouldn't actually hurt you, he has feelings for you and those dragons don't. They are figments of Necator's powers. It is safer for you and Léon to fight than having Draconis Virtutem on your ass." Damien explained and I groaned looking at Léon as he took off his tee shirt leaving just how shorts on. "Have fun."

They all moved away to make some room for Léon and I. I didn't feel safe at all. Right now, I was preferring the beating I would've received from the Draconis Virtutem. Léon seemed to out of my control, hopefully they have a near by healer because if Léon and I fight, there will he other concentration than me trying to survive his hits.
