Ashleen's Pov:
It had been two days since I'd met the girl named Alex. Two long action-filled days of hunting rogue vampires and training. My days were taken up with training and meeting with my family and discussing my findings of active rogue vampires. My nights spent with some of the other slayers to go on missions and take down said vampires. Typical stuff for 21-year-olds to be doing.
Right now I was on my way to said training with my best friend since birth Lorenzo Nola. With his Italian good looks and exquisite body, he was always with someone on his arm. He's 19 years old and about 6 feet tall, only taller than me by a few inches. it doesn't stop him from always trying to put his elbow on top of my head acting as though he's some kind of giant. When it comes to him, my inner child may run loose sometimes.
"Hey, Daydreamer! Earth to Ash, where are you? you do realize we're in the circle right?" I hear from beside me before I feel a fist go by my face, moving to the side just in time to not get a black eye. He's such an asshole. I turn to Lorenzo and deflect his next punch before I counter with one of my own.
"Okay asshole let me at least put my things down before you start swinging," I growl taking off my bag and sliding it outside the circle at the same time I crouch low and swing my leg out to trip Lorenzo up.
"No can do princess. You know the rules, once in the circle there are no rules," he says as he takes a step parallel to me and then tries to kick me when he misses automatically going into a corkscrew. I take a step back, subconsciously being aware of the circle perimeter. One step outside the circle is a lose.
"while I don't much care for the rules as you well know, that is a dirty move Ren," I huff, faking him before I slide between his too wide stance kicking out his knees and jumping up behind him, putting him in a headlock. "Your stance was too wide again Ren," I scold as I give him a nuggie. "2 out of 3 princess?" he grunts. I have an idea of what he's gonna try already so I agree, still having not let him go.
Suddenly I feel weightless before I come crashing back down, Ren having flipped me so now I'm on my back. Next, he's straddling my arms so I don't try to get out, Just like I knew he would. It is a smart move, but not smart enough. I smile a fang-filled smile and wink at Ren before I kick my legs up, wrapping them around his waist and turning. He's practically kissing the floor now and I'm on his back. I turn and start playing with his curls before I yank up his head, "Nice try. 3 out of 5?" I snicker in his ear, nibbling at his neck, drawing a gasp. I lift my hips giving him room to turn before I grab his wrists.
"Ash you can't ever play fair can you," he grumbles from below me, bucking his hips as I drop all of my weight down. I laugh, scrunching my nose and baring my fangs, my eyes tiny shining slits. "Like you said Ren, no rules in the circle," I say letting go of his wrists and patting his chest before I get off him. I'd offer him my hand but he plays just as dirty as me.
I skip over to the weapons rack inside the gym and grab two five foot long staffs, tossing one to Ren before walking back into the circle spinning mine. "okay showoff, enough stick spinning. We have work to do," Ren voices as he tracks me moving along the perimeter of the circle, looking for weak spots in my stride. He lunges at me, trying to scare me into action. Although my muscles tense there is almost no sign of my hesitance. I change directions and quicken my stride making Ren change his as well. we kind of mirror each other in a way. "Come on princess, sometime this century."

After training is over with I leave the coven's private gym and head back to my apartment to shower and change before I have to head to the "family home" and be briefed on tonight's hunt. It's not a far drive from the Coven's gym to my place so I get home relatively quick. Especially with how fast I drive.
Take the elevator or jump the fire escape? I muse as I pull up to my apartment complex. It's a nice six-story high brick style apartment building. Relatively big for its size each floor has four apartments. I park my car in the lot under the complex and ride the elevator up to my floor slow jazz playing from the hidden speakers.
I see my cool elderly neighbor Mrs. O'Neil entering her apartment when I exit so I give her a wave when she spots me. "How are you today young lady, I feel like I haven't seen you all week. Rose misses you." She says with a warm smile on her face, marred by the concerned wrinkle added to her brow. As if on cue, Rose, her gigantic beautiful Maine coon sashays out the door and right up to me. I crouch down and scratch under her chin earning a loud content purr. "I'm sorry Mrs. O'Neil, I've been rather busy, Maybe I'll stop by this coming weekend?" I question as I continue to pet Rose. Noone really ever visits her, so I stop by Mrs. O'Neil's often to help her or just keep her company. She's an awesome cook and has so many stories, I think of her as a surrogate grandmother sometimes, with all the worrying she does over me and always trying to feed me.
"I can't stay as long as I'd wish today Mrs. O, but for you, I will stay for a little. I've missed you and sweet Rose over here also." I say as I bring my head down and nuzzle into Rose's soft thick fur. I really do love keeping these two company. when I look up From Roses' fur I see Mrs. O'Neil with a content smile on her face and her hand to her chest.
"You are just the sweetest little thing Ashleen. Come on I have some brownies I made yesterday with the funniest name you won't believe." She ushers me in chuckling to herself as Rose follows close behind, weaving through our legs to get to her spot on top of the couch by the window. We take off our shoes and I follow Mrs. O'Neil to the kitchen as she grabs a Tupperware bowl filled with what I'm guessing are the brownies.
"These are called," snorts, " Slutty Brownies!"
AN; You guys should try slutty brownies some time, they are sooo good. But I love food so yeah, a lot of food is good to me. c:
