Immortal : Immortal mates

chapter 19

An hour later we leave the house going to the training grounds.

" It's going to feel so good to kick yall asses."

" Nay you couldn't beat some eggs as weak as your punches are," I look at her. Nay rolls her eyes as we laugh.

" I'm sorry that I haven't been training since I was five," Nay walks pass us.

" I'm just talented like that. You need another ten years of training to be at my level." Nay turns around to us, " I'll be at the level in five."

" Is that a guarantee?"

" You know I got skills." I just laugh as we continue walking. We stand at the edge of the training grounds watching the pack train. Derek and Eve stand at the top of the mat. I walk over to them watching the two men spare. Derek turns to me, " break it up." Derek walks over to the men, " now men and women, we are going to have a change in our training. If you choose to participate in this fight Taylor will take over most of the training. Leave now if you wish not to fight." We look around seeing no one move.

" Good now that we got this out of the way. Taylor can take the floor," Derek steps back.

"The training that you will be receiving for these next couple of months will be brutal. We are not facing your usual enemy. The training from here on out will be specifically to fight and kill an immortal. With this training you will use weapons. Is there any questions?" I look around," good I need everyone in groups of four."

I turn around, " can someone get the weapons."

" I'll grab them," Eve moves.

" Take the girls with you." I turn back around to see the groups.

" Excuse me," two men walk over to me.

" Yes."

" We are two people short."

" That's fine. Niome and Nayyirah will be in your group." A few minutes later the girls come over with the weapons.

" This is your group," I point to the two boys. Mimi and Nay walk over to them.

"I hope you all like your groups. These will be the people that you will be training with.I'm going to go to each group and test your abilities. Who's first?" No one moves at first, " we'll go first." A tall, bulky blonde guy moves forward.

"Everyone else, get off the mat.

I step forward as the other two boys,one with brown hair, the other with back hair and girl line up. I lounge forward punching the blonde in the stomach knocking him in the crowd of people. The girl runs at me kicking me in the stomach. Pushing me back, she's weak in the arms. She circles around before kicking me again. I wrap my hand on her foot tossing her to the other side of the mat. The brown hair one steps forward, I raise my eyebrow waiting for him to make the first move. For a few seconds we stare at each other before we both charge at each other. I dodge his punches kicking him in the stomach. I grab his hand slamming him to the ground. I step over him walking to the black hair boy.

He charges at me, wrapping his arms around my waist. He slams me on the mat knocking the wind out of me. I block his hit with my forearms. I head butt him making him stumble back. I get up running full speed knocking him to the ground. I punch him in the face a couple of times before I get knocked over. Blondie is on top of me trying to smash my face in. He retracts his arm while I wrap my arms around his neck. I flip us over so that we are on our side with my arms still around his neck. He struggles for a few minutes before I let go. I stand up reaching my hand out to blondie. He looks up then grabs my hand getting up.

" For every four man group there will be a commander. Derek and I will choose that person." I walk over to the girl, " you fight with your legs. You'll be training with knives."

I move to the brown hair boy " you'll get a sword." I move to the black hair boy," hammer." I look at blondie " I'm debating between an ax or knives. I'll think about you." I turn around to the crowd, " who's next," I smirk. After fighting the next ten groups, most of the fighters were paired with weapons. Derek steps forward, " just from watching these fights I see that a lot of training is needed. We are training five days a week for five to seven hours a day. Be prepared to work hard."

" Yes sir, they yell before leaving.

" They're not that bad." Derek looks at me," you went easy on them. If you would have fought them the way you did me. They would be dead."

I nod my head walking over to him.

" They need to learn how to work as a team."

" Yeah." I look over at Eve," what do you think about this?"

" This could work if we switch some of the teams."

" How about you make a list of who you want on teams. They will start training together."

" I'll have the list in the morning."

" I'll see y'all in the morning," I wave at them. I walk off the mat standing in front of the girls.

" Let's go before Grace starts worrying." The girls say bye to Eve and Derek before following me.

" What's wrong?" I looked at the girls.

" I don't want them to die getting me to the throne," Niome looks at me. I pull her into a hug," my goal is to get the both of you on that throne and make sure that no one dies." I look over at Nayyirah with her head down. I pull her into the hug as well.

" I need for everyone to train hard."

" We will," they say.

" Come on, i know that yall are hungry." The mood lightens up as we walk to Grace's house.

" I'll race y'all to the house," Nay walks in front of us.

" What does the winner get," Mimi looks at her. Nay stops walking and think, " I'll do your chores."

" For a week."

" Deal," Nay smiles. I look behind them seeing that we are three blocks away from Grace's house.

" Don't be cheating Nay."

" DoN't Be ChEaTiNg NaY." I laugh at them as they line up next to each other.

" Ready, set, go " they fly down the street. I shake my head walking down the street.

" I won," Mimi rolls her neck.

" Girl please. You know I won." I step on the porch walking pass them into the house. My stomach rumbles at smell of food in the house. I walk to the kitchen seeing Grace stirring a pot.

" How was work," I walked over to her.

" Good. I heard that you were awesome today."

" From who," I chuckle.

" A couple females, at shift change, were talking. They were impressed how you took over the conversation and stood up for the luna. Also how you was reading to the pups." I shrug my shoulders looking into the pot," gumbo."

" My world famous," she smiles.

" Haven't had none in years." The front door closes, " cheater."

" What are they arguing about now?"

" Who won the race." I walk out the kitchen following their voices down the hall.

" It's over, go wash up so we can eat." They run upstairs while I go back to the kitchen. I pull out bowls from the counter placing them by the stove.

" You sure that you want to see Constance."

" Yeah,I need a few things cleared up and I need to see if she can break whatever spell Imani casted on me."

" Constance is a nice woman. I just don't like the witchy stuff."

" I know," I pat her back grabbing the bowls pouring gumbo in them.

" You know she wants p*****t for all of that?"

" Yeah. We're going to have to stop at one of my spots."

" Okay," we walk in the dining room placing the bowls on the table.

" You ain't cheating next time," the girls walk down the stairs.

" Hush that up and come eat," Grace yells.
