Training

For the next few days I didn't see Rune very much. He was intentionally avoiding me in anger but no matter how angry he gets I refuse to back down. He doesn't understand that I need this... And if he can't come to understand that then we are gonna have to have a talk.

He still managed to sneak into the room every night after I fall asleep and slip into bed but would be gone again the next morning. It was starting to get old... I walk to the training ground and find Leon there waiting. We had been training for almost a week now, my body and all my muscles were begging me to stop.

"I thought I was early." I say in greeting and Leon smiles "I wanted to get everything set up before you got here. How are you feeling?" He ask looking me over. I was sporting a few nasty bruises and my left butt cheek hurt so bad I was nearly limping. "I'm perfectly fine!" I say a little too enthusiastically causing him to snort. I might look all beat up but Leon was a good teacher, he was even going easy on me.

"Would you like some help?" He ask suddenly serious. "What do you mean?" I ask confused. He drops the mat and slowly walks over saying in a low voice "I can give you a little of my blood. It won't hurt you or doing anything other than heal you so you can keep training."

My eyes widen in surprise as I think about what he was offering. Thanks to the books Mrs. Tweet has been giving me I know a little about this and every night I read the books before falling asleep. What he was offering was very sought after and not easily given. Leon was a master Vampire, one of the oldest and him offering his blood was.. well huge.

Before I could answer Rune says "She won't be taking anything of yours." I turn around to find Rune glaring at us once again. I roll my eyes and say "He wasn't asking you. I need to train as much as I can as quickly as I can and Leon's offer will allow me to do just that." Leon's eyes light up and Rune's darken.

Rune growls and says "That's it.." Before I have a chance to blink I feel his arms wrap around me and he shifts us into a hall leading to what looks like an open hot spring. My head was still spinning as he lifts me up and over his shoulder and walks towards the sping. "Rune! What the hell!?" I try to push away but he brings a large hand up to my sore ass making me jerk and hiss in pain.

"Behave woman... I'm at my limit.." He says in a deep voice stilling me. He was really upset so I decide to stay still. He walks over and lowers me to my feet with little to no effort and lifts his hands to the ties holding my dress. My hands quickly grab his as I try to step back but he growls making me stop.
