made myself clear yesterday, or did my arrangement with you interrupt a moment in your life?”
“I don’t need to declare my life to you. Are we training or what?” I asked, so pissed off at him I felt like smacking him. How dare he pull rank in my personal life; I’m not his daughter, thank God.
Pissed off as usual, he got up, took two steps and grabbed my arm hard, shifting us to his training area at home. The moment we hit ground he released me, and walked over to a bench and removed his jacket.
Rubbing my arm, I watched him as he turned and walked back to me. My body went into full alert, and I prepared myself on the balls of my feet. No way in hell am I taking his bull today. He reached me and in a freaking fast movement, grabbed my arm again. The next moment we were standing in absolute darkness. He let go of me, and disappeared in silence. I stood there, preparing myself for anything; this guy is so not going to drop me today.
“Shifting takes much emotional energy from a fallen,” he said, somewhere to my left and I turned my head and tried to pinpoint his location.
“To be able to shift anywhere in the world you can’t hesitate or be afraid to. There will be no time to anticipate a safe place. You shift in the moment,” he went on, this time on my right. Oh crap, he was stalking me and shifting while at it.
“So to help you get over it, you will avoid me by shifting,” he said, somewhere further away in front of me. Oh hell, he is really going to do it! Turning in a slow circle, I tried to listen to any sound he might make. But I only got a freaking push from behind that had me landing on all fours, my knees digging into a hard surface that felt like rock.
Holy Crap, I’m in a freaking cave or something! The next moment he grabbed me around my shoulder, and threw me straight into a wall; my head hitting it full force and a scream escaped out of my mouth. Slowly I got up and braced myself against the wall.
“Let me guess, you’re mother spanked you as a little boy; now you’re taking it out on anything female. Or is this your idea of getting a girl’s attention?” I said, trying to provoke him into giving away his position. The air hummed with movement, and I was slammed into the wall; his whole body trapping me, my face squished against the wall.
“Don’t try and analyze me, I suggest you start avoiding me or there will be nothing left for Seth to look at tonight,” he growled, and for some strange reason I got goose bumps. Imagining my hellhound, I transformed just to feel him transform with me, the moment I felt the transformation completed, I pushed myself away from the wall, only to hit a solid chest at my back.
“Maybe you need some motivation,” he whispered into my ear, and felt his breath on my neck. Every freaking vampire movie I ever watched came crashing into my mind and I panicked. My emotions went haywire, and I shifted out of his embrace to somewhere else in the cave.
“You are such a prick!” I yelled at him in a deeper voice, a growl escaping after the last word. He just laughed. I felt the air move in the cave so I shifted to another spot, trying to avoid him.
“Well done, some inspiration for a change. Almost thought I had a problem for the first time in my existence,” he said, and the air moved again. I did the same thing, ending up smacking into a wall, and then dropping to the floor. Damn that hurt really bad. Lying on the floor, my head pounding from the impact, he was on top of me; grabbing my hands and pinning me down.
“Now you need to feel with your mind, to ensure you don’t end up smashing into a wall; then giving them the opportunity to kill you,” he instructed, his face pressed into mine. I just struggled beneath him, trying to get out from under him. I tried to shift, but I just couldn’t.
“Get. Off. Me!”
“Concentration is everything in our world,” he replied, and then I felt his breath on my neck again; goose bumps breaking out
