Chapter 9 Blade

Ever since Jay walked out on me, all I've ever done is practice. His words sparked something in me, something that has refused to go out. Now every time I punch the air when I'm training alone all I see is his red face and his wide eyes. His veins throb as he rips his gloves from his hands.The stutter in his voice as he was about to tell me something but stopped. Every single detail only got me angrier and angrier. Today, I had woken up earlier than everyone else and had gone to the same place Jay had had sex with me before Lizzy caught us.

I had done a backflip when I heard a ringing noise from my bag and went to check it out. It came from my phone. The caller ID was 'Mom'.

*****

"Mom, I'm fine", I say to the phone gushing with every word. For the first time in 2 weeks, my mom had called, asking me about my whereabouts and when I would come back home. If only I could tell her the truth and get this off my chest. I ignored her questions and redirected the conversation to her. She had been so consumed with work and had tried calling me numerous times but it never went through. Odd.

"I can't wait to meet these friends of yours. You've never had many friends before", she says on the other end, sounding so cheerful at the thought of it. Well, these aren't normal friends.

"I can't wait for you to meet them too", I tell her. I also can't wait to get this over with. I talk with her more and get back to my training. I've been insisting on training alone these days and it's got the others worried. They try to check up on me from behind the trees and bushes and I act like I can't see them. Unless I think it's Jay checking up on me, but he's never done that.

I go back to attacking a tree. Kicking and punching it till the bark falls off.It hardly hurts anymore, a bigger sign that I'm getting the hang of this. I had just delivered a flying kick when I heard something fall behind me. It sounded like an orange or something. I ignore the sound and proceed to deliver another flying kick. But as I turn my leg is caught, and I lose my balance.

"That's not how to fight", I hear a voice say. Was I under attack?."Who are you?", I ask with both of my fists up, trying to be brave. I did a 360-degree turn and inspected the tops of the trees but I didn't see anything unusual."Come out!", I said but it came out in a quieter voice. Before I knew it, my legs were taken out and I had fallen on the ground. I turn to get up but I feel a knife on my neck and my hands being pinned behind my back. I struggle to get them out but it's no use. My legs were trapped too.

"If this were real, I would've killed you".I turn my head to catch a look at the person. It's not someone I recognize. He has black hair with blue highlights the darkest eyes and plump kissable lips. From what I can see from underneath, he has a good figure and could've taken me out way sooner. Killed me even. I wonder why he hadn't.

"What do you want?", I mutter. He leans closer as if he wants to get a closer look at me. After he does that, he says something that sounds like, 'You're new'.He let me go and it was only then I noticed that he had pinned my hands with one hand and used one of his knees to pin my legs. I bet he used one of his legs to make me lose balance too. I get up and dust myself. When I get the last of the dried leaves out of my hair, he stretches out a hand.

"The name's blade".

"I said, 'What do you want?'",I ask because you don't show up out of nowhere and knock someone down without a reason.

"I don't see your kind much around here"

"That's a lie"

"Is it?", he says and raises an eyebrow. His look almost makes me question myself. Maybe I was the one in the wrong and I had wandered too far from Adolpha territory. But I can swear this was the same spot where I and Jay had trained a few days ago...

"You would attack an intruder too if you saw one", Blade says and crosses his arms, still holding the knife."Leave while I'm being nice".

"I think you're mistaken", I say just as he is about to turn to leave.

"Why would you think that?", Blade asks. At this point, it looked like he was flexing his muscles with the way he had crossed his arms. I have to admit he looked cute, especially with his lower lip ring that dangles off the right corner.

I point to a small area where the earth seemed to have eroded a bit. Almost as if a hole was being formed." Say you want me".I shake Jay's voice out of my head. I remember digging my fingers into the dirt as Jay sucked my nipple." I made that"

"Prove it"

"I don't need to", I say with all the courage in the world now that I know I'm right. I walk up to him.

"Then I guess we have to do it the old-fashioned way", he says and smirks. He takes a few steps backwards and I'm still trying to wrap my head around what he's saying when he kicks me in the abdomen and sends me flying. I hit my back at a tree and groan. He charges at me with a knife but I dodge it.

He's trying to kill me. I remember what Lizzy said about aggression and libido; how it quickens out transformation. I kick one of Blade's legs and dive in between them, kicking him in the balls. He lets out a discordant groan and falls to his knees. That'll buy me some time. I get up and close my eyes. I think about Andrea pushing her dildo into me. I think about Jay fingering my asshole. I think about Lizzy squeezing my ass. I think about how I've been nothing but a sex slave ever since I was bitten. How it hurt and how it felt good at the same time.

I channel all the pleasure and rage to the rest of my body and wait.

Rough fur prickles my skin. I hear my clothes rip apart.
