Temptations of the Dark Side

Chapter 19

THE NEXT DAY, VELVET'S POV

I was sat with (Y/N) in the Emerald Forest, trying to focus my emotions once again so I could learn this power (Y/N) wanted to teach me called, the Art of Fear, it sounded really intimidating and I wondered what I could do with that kind of power.

"Now Velvet focus your mind upon an emotion, it has to be very strong and deeply rooted into your mind and spirit, once you harness the power of your deepest, most primal emotions you will be on the path to true power and respect" (Y/N) said as I sat on my knees with my eyes closed, trying to focus on my emotions, however it was kind of difficult...

"I don't know how (Y/N), I can't think of any feelings to use, I'm a failure..." I said sadly as I felt sadness creep up on me, I felt him get closer and kneel down in front of me so I opened my eyes, to see him staring into my own eyes with such intensity it was like he could see into my very soul.

"Then allow me to assist you..." he said before he reached out and grabbed my rabbit ear forcefully, making me wince in pain and shock.

"From what I can tell, you have access to these emotions, but you choose not to because of the garbage you've been fed by people like Blake and the teachers, you allow yourself to suffer what ever others decide to say or do to you, yet not allow yourself to feel these emotions!" he said as he squeezed my ear in his hand making me whimper in pain as tears built up in my eyes.

"Please stop..." I whimpered, I felt the sadness and pain build up in me, and I was scared.

"See, there it is again! Your repressing your emotions again! Think, think about it Velvet, all the times people like Cardin Winchester did this to you, the pain, the fear, the humiliation you felt as they mocked and insulted you because of your ears" (Y/N) said before he relaxed his hand and started to gently pet my ears, the one he took hold of still hurt but the pain was starting to ease, however I thought about those feelings (Y/N) mentioned and I held onto them.

"Think of the people that put you down, called you useless, and those that harmed you or sneered at you for something you couldn't control, the fear you felt every day when you ate in the lunch room that Cardin and others like him would hurt you, the people that would sneer at you as you walked the streets" he said, I thought about all of those things as well as the fear, sadness and pain I felt from all of those things.

"Now... strip away the pain and the sadness, use that fear, hold onto that feeling and when the time comes use it to undermine and destroy your enemies, make them feel the same fear they forced you to feel!" (Y/N) said as the pain in my ear went away, he was right, I didn't want to be the one whose always afraid...

I want to make those people feel the fear and sadness they made me feel!

"We will travel to that place, and your training in the Art of Fear will continue, we shall also endeavour to unlock more of your power in the Force, through combat and study" (Y/N) said as he stood up and offered me his hand, I reached up and took his hand, then he quickly pulled me up and I ran into his chest feeling a blush on my cheeks as my ears picked up his heartbeat.

"Let's go apprentice, I have much to teach you" (Y/N) said, suddenly I heard growling from nearby and I moved away from him to see an Ursa moving into the clearing, I saw (Y/N) grow a grin on his face at the sight of the Grimm as it snarled at us both.

"Ah, the perfect test subject! Apprentice, come let me show you what to do" (Y/N) said as he stepped towards the Grimm with no fear on his face, the Ursa let out a roar as it charged towards us.

"Now apprentice, I want you to watch carefully and do as I do" he said , I nodded my head as I started to watch him carefully, the Ursa was only a few bounds away from us as (Y/N) reached out towards the Grimm, I stood next to him and followed his action.

"Fear..." (Y/N) said as his eyes blazed amethyst, I saw the Grimm hesitate and stop running towards us, I felt something stirring from within him and tried to copy it but I was having a hard time figuring out what to do.

(Use the fear you have within, take that fear and project it towards the Grimm, make it feel the same fear you feel!) (Y/N) said within my mind, thanks to the Force Bond we share, I remembered the fear I felt and I started to project it towards the Ursa, I felt the power (Y/N) had unlocked within me twist and it started whimpering and growling as it's body shook.

"How does it feel Velvet? Making the creatures you've been training to fight cower before you?" (Y/N) asked me as a grin came to his face, I looked at the cowering Grimm and felt a sense of... satisfaction?

"It feels... amazing!" I said as my body trembled in excitement, I kept it up until the Ursa suddenly choked and a loud snap rang out as it's neck broke, I looked to see (Y/N) with his fist clenched.

"That is enough of that today, follow me Apprentice and we shall continue your combat training" (Y/N) said as he walked away, I followed after him and kept pace beside him we walked through the forest until we reached his hidden base, the door instantly opened and we went inside and walked the halls until we reached (Y/N)'s hidden training room.

Once we reached that room he took out his lightsaber and set it aside before he started to remove his robes, I watched as the black robes slipped away from his body showing the (F/C) shirt and black pants underneath, he then took off his shirt exposing his toned chest and abs, I felt a warm blush rise to my cheeks as I watched him strip off his pants, fold them up and lay them down beside his lightsaber leaving him in only a pair of boxers, I saw that his arms and legs were also very well muscled showing just how athletic he must be.

"We will begin training once you have removed your robes too Apprentice, this time we will be fighting with fists and feet like before, be prepared because I will not hold back... I expect you to do the same" (Y/N) said as he stretched his arms and twisted his torso to loosen the muscles in his abdomen, however my eyes travelled to his face and I saw the scar on his face from that lightsaber blow he took from that other Sith, somehow it actually made him look more alluring, like a scarred hero from one of those romance books Blake had recommended to me.

"Y-Yes (Y/N)..." I said as I felt my heartbeat speed up and heat burn on my cheeks, even though we had done this before it was still kind of embarrassing to stand in front of him in my underwear, I undid the sash that kept my robes together and they fell away, leaving me in a brown and gold undershirt I had worn as well as my shorts and black leggings, I looked over and saw (Y/N) looking at me with what looked like a lustful smile on his face, I slowly reached down and started to pull the undershirt over my head until I had fully removed it.

"Nice selection Velvet, I approve~" (Y/N) said in a lustful purr, making a pleasant shiver race through my body as I blushed in embarrassment.

"Th-Th-Thank you, (Y/N)" I said as I folded up my robes and undershirt and set them aside, I then took hold of my shorts and pulled them off along with my leggings slowly parting from my legs, I watched as (Y/N)'s eyes seemed to stick to my revealed legs with a far away look on his face, finally I managed to slip the leggings over my feet before I put them down on top of my robes and shirt, leaving me in only my brown and gold bra and panties, finally I set my box which held my camera and all the weapons I had photographed down next to my clothes, and I picked the Vibrodoubleblade back up and walked to the other side of the arena, (Y/N) and I started doing stretches so that we would be ready to fight.

As we did our stretches however I found my eyes roaming over his body, I watches as the muscles in his back and arms flexed and bulged, then my eyes travelled southwards to the front of his boxers and I felt my skin tingle as I drifted away into a fantasy.

"Hey Velvet, do you work at a post office?" (Y/N) asked, his voice snapping me out of my fantasy, leaving me feeling embarrassed that I had just done that right in front of him.

"U-U-Uhm..." I mumbled back.

"Cause I saw you checking out my package" (Y/N) said as he motioned towards his boxers, I then turned so red I probably rivalled Ruby's cloak.

"Okay, enough flirting, even though I thoroughly enjoy watching you blush we have training to do!" (Y/N) said as he shifted his body and got into a combat position, I carefully got into one of my own and watched him as I got ready to fight.
