We're not sure how long we have until our battle against my brother but what we do know is he is working with an ancient coven of witches and has about 15 packs on his side and that doesn't include vamps, other shifters and witches. I hope we have enough people to defeat them.
Packs have started to arrive, training has begun and I'm starting to work with the moon goddess on my powers with very little luck. She says I need to clear my mind. So I decided I want to spar with Tyler.
Tyler and I meet up at the training ground not too far from the pack house. It smells like sweat and reminds you of a high school gym. The walls are even off white and the floor is grey with blue mats in random places. There are several smaller rooms that have weights and other equipment as well.
"You ready?" I ask.
He is checking me out and makes me blush. I'm wearing black workout shorts and a sports bra. Tyler is wearing just basketball shorts and is looking good.
"Ya but do you honestly think you can take me?"
I laugh and run straight for him. As he spreads his legs apart and ready's himself to grab me or push me back I slide down towards the ground through his legs, grab his calves and use my legs to push into his back and send him flying forward while landing on my feet. As he stands up I look at him arching my eyebrow and say "You sure you can take me?"
"Damn women how the hell did you do that?"
"I had a great teacher. You ready?"
"Bring it" I threw him into the wall, pinned him down and I broke his nose. He however did get several punches in. By the end of our fight we were both drenched in sweat and a crowd had gathered but as we parted ways he smacked my ass. "Good fight." He said.
"Ya"
I ran back up to my room next to Paul's. Since I refused to sleep in his room he put me right next door to him.
I'm confused by Tyler's actions but I have to push them to the back of my mind. I don't have time to dwell on it. After I shower I grab one of the books the moon goddess gave to me. She said Talia and I must work together to make the magic we have work. I have yet to accomplish anything.
I sit in the middle of the king size bed in my room, cross my legs and start to chant the words that will allow a ball of fire to come from my hands. Nothing has happened yet. After an hour of trying to make a ball of fire happen I threw the book and screamed. I'm so fusterated. I need to master this.
Someone knocked on the door. "Come in."I said. Before the door opened i could smell him, Tyler. He smells like a campfire. He opened the door and walked towards me "Lilly what's wrong?"
"I can't get any of this magic stuff to work. I feel like I'm failing everyone."
He grabbed my hand and pulled me down to my bed so we could sit next to each other.
"Lil maybe you're trying too hard. You have a lot on your shoulders. How about a break. Let's shift and run?"
'Not yet.' Talia says.
"I'm sorry I can't shift yet."
"You know what I have an idea. Let's go out to dinner"
"Sure why not. Just let me get dressed."
-20 minutes later-
I look in the mirror. I'm wearing a knee length black dress, my hair is curled and I put a little make up on. Tyler knocks on my door and I open it up. He is wearing a royal blue dress shirt and tight jeans. He smile and says "ready."
"Ya"
Tyler and I leave the pack and decided to drive an hour away to the local town and have dinner at steak house. We enjoyed are dinner and when we got back to the pack house he walked me to my door. "Good night princess" he said and gave me a kiss and walked to his room. I shut my door with a smile on my face and went to bed hoping to dream of Tyler but instead of Tyler a young girl appeared in my dreams. "Lilly I don't have much time. He will attack the castle in three days but he needs your blood. Talia isn't really there shasha still is. Everything is a lie. Do not trust the moon goddess and run Lilly. Run. Good luck." The girl faded and I woke up in a sweat. "What the hell" i whispered.
