Carlisle's pov
I crouched down shifting into a fighting stance, my eyes on Mia's who was standing across from me in her fighting stance. We were in the gym training. Karen and Damian were at the other side of the room training. I think over the time, the girls have gotten used to the excessive amount of training. They no longer complain. I had asked Mia about it last night. I don't know what I feel about her answer though.
"Carlisle darling, fighting is fun. I love handling the weapons, especially throwing knives" Mia had replied when I asked her about it. At first I felt relieved that Mia was now capable of taking care of herself in the light of danger. I would always be with her to protect her, of course, but who knows what the future holds. At least now if she's alone and danger comes along, she'll cheerfully kick it's ass. But my mind still wasn't settled no matter how much I tried to reassure myself. True that Mia can now take care of herself but I couldn't help but wonder if I had accidentally created a monster. For God's sake, Mia used to hate blood. She hated violence. But now she enjoys throwing knives.
Mia doesn't know about my mafia side and she enjoys throwing knives. That means if she finds out, she might become an assassin. A shudder went through my spine at the thought. It didn't sit well with me. I just couldn't imagine my sweet, innocent Mia as something horrible as an assassin. Hell no!
From my peripheral vision, I saw Mia launching a kick at me. I gasped as my thoughts were interrupted and spun around to avoid it. But I wasn't fast enough. She missed my head but was able to clip my thigh. Pain shot through me. I grit my teeth and forced the pain down. Mia was smirking triumphantly. Yeah right! Two can play the game. I smirked and her eyes narrowed in suspicion.
I feigned left before turning and sending a punch to her right shoulder. She was fast though. Her hands shot up to interrupt my attack. Mia sent a counter jab to my ribs and finished it off with a round about kick. I staggered back trying to regain my balance. No matter how much I tried, I was still no match for the exhaustion that threatened to take over me. When I realized I was fighting a lost battle, I surrendered my senses and lost consciousness.
My ears were ringing. I tried to open my eyes. At first all I saw was darkness, then light began sipping through. But my vision was blurry. I saw the shadows of faces leaning over me. I felt someone pulling me up to somewhere soft. I closed my eyes and relaxed like that for few minutes. When I was sure I had regained control of my senses, I opened my eyes. I looked around and realised I was in Mia's room. My mind was blank as yo how I got here. I felt someone beside me and turned to see mia. She was sitting on a chair beside the bed and her head was rested on the bed. She was also sound asleep.
A sharp pain pierced through my skull and I groaned aloud. My hands shot up to my head as if to hold the pain in. It was then I realized there was bandage around my head. What the hell happened? Aside from the pain, I was also thirsty.
I tried to stand but there was no way I could move without waking Mia up.
"Mia! Baby! Sweetheart!" I roused her as gently as I could. I needed water but I also needed answers. Mia stirred and looked around confused. Immediately her gaze fell on me, she flew up from her chair. She leaned over and wrapped her arms around me. Her shoulders were shaking and I realized she was crying. Panic spread through my veins.
"What's wrong baby? Why are you crying?" I asked frantic to ease her pain. I pulled her away from me to look into her eyes. She refused to meet my gaze.
"I'm so sorry s-sweetheart. I'm so sorry! I d-didn't mean t-to hurt you. Please f-f-forgive me." Mia sobbed out. I could barely make out the words she was saying. My first thought was that she cheated on me but I immediately shut it down. I trusted Mia. She'd never cheat on me. I hated myself for even thinking like that in the first place. Our love was real. It was genuine. I needed to find out why she was apologising though.
"Baby what's wrong? What happened?" I inquired while comforting her.
"She kicked your ass. That's what happened" Damian's voice sounded from the doorway. I looked up as he came into the room. He was smirking, his lips hiding a smile as if he knew a secret. I sent him a questioning look.
"Mia kicked your ass during training and you fainted. Oh it was hilarious" Damian chortled.
"It was an accident. I didn't mean to do that" Mia cried out in despair. The missing events of the day flooded my mind. I groaned aloud and Mia burst into another round of tears.
"Its my fault you are in pains. I'm such a bad person" She wailed. Oh shit! She must have misunderstood. I wasn't groaning because of pains. No I was groaning because I was embarrassed.
I pulled myself to a sitting position and pulled her inty arms.
"It's alright love. It wasn't your fault." I reassured. Damian rolled his eyes and stalked out of the room still chuckling. I didn't pay attention to him. Instead I focused my attention on my crying angel here.
"Shh....stop crying. It wasn't your fault. It was an accident. It could happen to anybody"______________________________
Damian's pov
I smirked to myself as I made my way to Karen's room. Mia defeating Carlisle was epic. It was hilarious. She defeated him in less than ten minutes and I don't think she was even trying. I was showing Karen how to get out of a chokehold when I heard Mia scream. Karen and I ran over to find her cradling Carlisle's head on her lap. He was bleeding from his head. I tried finding out what happened but she was too hysterical to form coherent sentences. Anytime she tried explaining, all I could hear was a string of blubbers. I had quickly carried Carlisle to Mia's room and sent for the doctor. Luckily Carlisle had only suffered a mild concussion. Mia had stuck to his side while I went to the surveillance room to look through the surveillance video. I was surprised to find out that Mia had kicked his ass. No wonder she was hysterical. She felt guilty. Anyway thank God that's over. Well partly over because I'll always tease Carlisle about it. I might even get a copy of the video just to annoy him.
Sorry for the delay my darlings. I'm writing exams. I'll try to update as soon as possible. Kisses 😘
