and now. In a little over a century, I’ve finally found a place to call home.
    ***
    Over the next few days we begin working at Ms. Edwina’s manor, helping the sisters prepare. I realize their fight will be strictly magical; they can’t hold their own in a physical fight against vampires . I only hope that their powers and spells can withhold and destroy the Cerberus’ powers. The sisters are said to be the most powerful of witches , and can defeat anything, but as a friend I still worry.
    “ Sophia, we’ll be fine. Let us use our magic to help you. We’ll be able to conjure up some good spells. The Cerberus won’t know what hit them,” Ebony tries to hearten me.
    We begin spending our evenings in the field where I took Nathanial, sparring and physically preparing for the upcoming fight. Nathanial joins us tonight.
    “ So how exactly do you prepare for a vampire fight?” he inquires.
    “ We prepare just as any other physical training, including such things as cardio, upper body strength, lower body strength, speed, stealth and agility. We always sprint up to the field and do about a hundred laps of the large open space–it really only takes a few minutes. Other warm ups such as sit ups, pushups and lunges are all included. Once warmed up we take turns fighting…first up tonight will be Isaac and myself.”
    In a sarcastic tone, Nathanial says, “Great, so I get to watch my girlfriend get beat on, that sounds like a lot of fun.”
    “ What makes you think he’s going to be able to beat me?” I smirk.
    We’ll fight as if we are enemies and fighting for our survival, or at least the survival of those around us. We decide not to use our extra powers to start out with. We choose to fight with our physical strengths and speed, concentrating on our fighting skills. This makes things more even in our training because of the variety of our powers. I can heal others, so it won’t help me in our fight. Isaac can control the elements; this can and will be a huge advantage when we fight the Cerberus. Against one another though, we just didn’t want to do any real damage to each other...more specifically me! We begin to fight; wrestling, hitting, and breaking bones and such. We all agree that it would not benefit any of us to take it easy on one another.
    Our fight is actually going pretty good. It is like UFC extreme , I think to myself. Knowing that Isaac has the upper hand, because he has been around longer than I, I put all my effort into the fight. With one swift move he lunges at me; I duck and am able to grab Isaac from behind. Flipping him over, I slam him into the ground. With an arch of his back he jumps back to his feet, chasing after me. With lightning speed I race up the side of a tree and flip to land behind him. Just as fast Isaac turns to face me, and with hand to hand combat we continue. My emotional ties to this area add passion to my fight. I don’t want Nathanial or his family hurt, killed or Embraced during all this chaos. From the corner of my eye I see Nathanial, which encourages me to fight harder.
    My entire family seems surprised at how well I am holding my own against Isaac. The need to be aware of my surroundings draws my attention to Elijah. From what I can gather, it appears as though Elijah is telling Alexander to sneak into our fight, to try to distract us. He chooses to help Isaac in attacking me, I assume because they want to ensure my safety when I am faced by multiples fighters. As Isaac and I are involved in our fight, throwing punches and kicks face to face, Alexander comes behind me. I sense him about to attack and move to the side with such stealth that he stumbles towards Isaac, throwing both of them off their fight. During our fight, we need to keep track of what is going on around us, to be aware of our surroundings and those involved. One moment of not paying attention can lose the whole fight.
    I can sense Nathanial freaking out, and I notice Elijah restraining him from
