The Story of Family (Book 1)

Chapter 2 First Day Of Training

     After Ace had gotten settled in his new room at the reaper HQ he decided to explore the building so he'd know where everything was. He walked the halls looking around thinking to himself, slightly getting lost in his thoughts he wondered when he'd see the blind huntress again. He sighed and soon heard his name being called as he looked over he saw the woman remembering her name to be Phantom. As he made his way over to her he noticed another female with her and raises a brow. Phantom smiles, "this is your new training part-", he suddenly stops her, "I don't need a training partner thanks for your concern, but I have to go deal with something", he suddenly disappears down the hall leaving a dumbfounded female and the girl with her. He makes his way out and heads into the forest looking for the girl for hours until he finally decides to sit down and rest. "Where in the hell could she be?" He mumbles and tries remembering her name, "what was her name again? Kristal? No to many letters and she didn't seem like a girl named that.... Kelly? No definitely not....hmmmm", he sits there thinking, "Karma?", he suddenly shakes his head, "she's scary enough for that but that's not it...", he continues to think not hearing the sound of footsteps and hoofs approaching. He suddenly looks over seeing a hooded girl with long blonde hair and he tilts his head seeing her eye color he tenses a bit but then relaxes as to not draw to much attention. He looks at her knowing what she is but not knowing why she's here. He notices she looks really young about 20 maybe by her looks of course, he notices her outfit she's wearing having light armor and cloth. Her armor seemed  to cover over her breast and from her mid arms covering her hands same for the legs, he then noticed she had two sword s on the belt she wore, he then looked up noticing her ocean blue eyes and a smile on her face. He stared for a few moments waiting for her to speak. She waits for a moment before clearing her throat and asking, "sir are you lost?", he paused hearing the sound of her sweet voice so different from the female he was looking for, he took in a breath and sighed, "have you seen a Huntress with blonde hair, seems to be blind, carries 2 swords and a scythe, she seems to be very dangerous?", he asked. She looks at him a bit surprised, "your looking for the 'blind killer'?" She asked  surprised. He listens to her words before realization hits him, 'a female who's blind and can talk, the girl who carries 2 swords and a scythe, has long blond hair, rides horses when needed, very distant, mysterious..., he looks at the woman, "how do you know her?", he questions. The woman gave a light smile and responded, "why dear I'm a fellow huntress", she suddenly hears a mans voice and they both turn their heads to see a man with a bow and arrows walk up to them, Ace notices the man having black hair and unusual purple eyes and tilts his head. The female looks at the male and smiles and replies, "oh hello dear I was wondering when you were going to catch up", she smiles at him.
     The male calmly looks at the woman and sighs, "you need to stop running off Zarola...." he sighs and shakes his head and looks at Ace, "I'm sorry for my wife's...overwhelming greeting...uh my names Darien and this is my wife Zarola" he introduces them. Ace stares for a moment before realizing something and looks at the male, "your a devil angel!" He then looks at the girl "and your a half demon half angel!" He says surprised. The two look at each other then at him, "you are correct", Darien says. Zarola smiles at the young male, "well dear we must be off we need to visit some shadows!!", she grabs ahold of her husbands arm and looks at the young male again, "would you like to join us?", She asks kindly. Ace returns the smile and stands up and follows the two into the forest until they see a blonde, blind female. He can't help but stare at her with his ocean like blue eyes until he sees her look at the three of them and looks away hoping she didn't catch him staring at her. Kali looks up at the three of them her eyes a pink color and stands there for a moment before speaking, "I thought you were supposed to be training?", she more states then asked though it is technically a question. Zarola and Darien simply stands there and watches the scene go down knowing that Kali can either keep this as a simple chat or turn it into a fight in two point five seconds flat. Ace stares at her and doesn't know how to respond as he sees the other two back away leaving him on his own to respond.
      Ace thinks to himself trying to come up with a quick response for the dangerous female in front of him he only gets to open his mouth before feeling a fist collide with his stomach as he feels blood rise in his throat and pour out his mouth before he hits a tree trying to gasp and fall to the ground coughing up more blood as it stains the ground. Ace puts one hand on his injured stomach and the other on his throat as he continues to cough and spit out some more blood before slowly standing. He turns his attention to the blonde beauty to see her arms crossed and a satisfied smirk on her face. He lets out a couple more coughs before he gets the oxygen he needs to speak before yelling, "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR?!?!", He screams at her feeling the bitter taste of blood in his mouth. She only looks at him with an amused look on her face as he starts getting up on his feet. He regains his composure and stands up straight and stares at her in disbelief. He grits his teeth and glares at her before running at her with his sword. Zarola watches in amusement as her husband shakes his head and mumbles something, "He's asking for a death wish eh? She'll give it to him for sure", Zarola shakes her head with a smile as Ace tries multiple times to land a hit on the female, however Kali although quite amused with his persistence decides to end this quickly and waits as he runs at her again, at the last second she jumps up lifting one of her legs and drop kicks him, watching as he hits the ground she crosses her arms with a smirk, "better luck next time boy", she winks at him before walking away she stops and glances back at him, "oh and by the way...this was your first day of training, and you failed", she says smirking and disappearing into the forest.
