"Alright, what are you then?"
"What do you mean?"- he replied
"What are you, Vampire, Demon, Lycan?"
"Oh, I'm a lycan."
"Born or bitten?"- I ask
"Born, I found out about that 2 years ago."
"You're a pureblood. So am I"- I replied
Most purebloods turn when they are 16.
"Well, ready for your first lesson of hand-to-hand combat?"
"What? Are you serious? You're like 15 and 5'2". Right?"
"I'm 18, and I'm 5'5". And you're 16 and 5'10".- I teased
"No, I'm 18, and 6 feet tall."
We both got in a stance.
"Don't go easy on me."
"I won't, I took boxing."- he replied with a smile
He got me with an, okay punch, and the next thing he knew he was pinned on the floor.
"Really? Taking boxing, is nothing compared to being trained at the academy for 5 years."
I helped him up.
"Fix your stance, breathe evenly, and don't ever go easy on your opponent Nathan."
I showed him many locking positions, and how to avoid most punches and kicks, and slowly, but surely he caught on. But that was just lesson 1.
We continued sparring until 9pm. By that time Ryan had taken the trainees running, taught them the basic of self-defense, and a few moves on how to stun your opponents. Ryan and I took them to the cabin where they would be staying. 2 people to a room. But Nathan had a room to himself.
Out of the 15 new trainees
5 girls, and 3 boys were Vamps
3 girls, and 3 boys were Demons
Nathan was the only Lycan
As Ryan and I walked to our cabins he noticed my concerned look.
"Tess what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"That look doesn't mean nothing, it has to be something."
"Okay, I think the slayers are getting more of us by the minute."
"Why do you say that?"
"I mean, shouldn't have Matthew and Mr. Moore brought back more than just one lycan?"
"You do have a point Tess. But-"
"There is no 'but' Ryan! Slayers are more of us by the minute. Every underworlder is in danger, especially those pureblooded. We have to be more careful than ever."
Slayers, they hunt us. Simply because of our blood. Our blood gives them power. For the slayers those who are pureblooded, are nothing trophies. What's more terrible is that slayers are underworlders who go power hungry. They will destroy anyone who gets in their way, or even questions them.
He gets quiet. He just nods in agreement.
"See you bright and early tomorrow."- I say to him
