212 Chapter 212

Cadence was clearly trying to determine if a Vampire Hunter could kill a Hybrid through determination and will power alone. She had me running up and down The Hill for almost an hour, after weight training, an hour in the pool, and almost two hours on the treadmill. I really thought by the end I wasn't going to be able to take anymore, but every time she gave me another order, I said, "Yes, El Capitan!" over the IAC, just to show her I could, and then did it. I didn't say a single word out loud to her for the entire attempted murder, I mean, workout session, and I also managed to request visuals from her at least every five minutes, which she continuously denied. I knew I should be the grownup and let it go, but I was trying to prove a point to herI just didn't know exactly what it was.

After about my thousandth run up The Hill, she finally said, "Okay, that's it. We're done."
