"Well if it isn't Kylie? Are you still feeling tough?" Nick commented snidely."Really, I'm sure that you're capable of not being a jerk. If you think you're strong and such a skilled fighter. How about wearing a blindfold and I promise I'll only use a finger to attack?" I smiled over sweetly."Just don't go crying. If I win, I get one night," he leered."Alright, if you win." I agreed with a shrug. He placed the blindfold over his eyes and five seconds later I'd paralysed him using pressure points having struck them with a finger as I'd stated earlier. I removed his blindfold and grinned. "You want another go?" I asked as I released his paralysis with a carefully practiced slam to the chest. Without wasting time he lunged at me while I was still close and I simply ducked and side stepped him. I had to give him a little fighting credit. At least his stance was good and so was the swing of his arm. He faked a right blow to my head and brought his leg up hoping to kick me. I stepped sli

From behind the door the three girls walked out with guilty smiles. I'd noticed them around fifteen minutes ago in the middle of my spar against Joe."How did you know we were there even though you were fighting Guardian Maxwell?" The way they were peering so intently through the small windows in the door made it hard for me not to have noticed it. They were certainly not as discreet as they had perhaps hoped but I refrained from telling them that."You beat him without breaking a sweat…""Are those the things that increased your strength and speed?""No wonder you beat Drew Ozera.""And I'm hungry so let's go." I urged as I towed them out of the training room. From the number of questions they seemed to have, we could be in the training room for forever! "See you later Guardian Maxwell.""I'll see you in class tomorrow Valentine." Joe nodded with a professional glance to which I returned with an easy going grin."You guys are a bit early." I commented casually."We thought you might

"Kai! Are you alright? That must've been horrible to endure. It was disgusting to hear about. The way they talk about people just for gossip." Els frowned."It's disrespectful. They're just pissed that they couldn't get close to Drew Ozera the way you could." Roxy scoffed."If I was you I would've beaten them. But since I'm not, so I can't." Ingrid pouted."Those guys aren't worth half my time." I waved nonchalantly. "Besides, I'd rather not get detention on my first proper day at this school. I should at least attempt to make Guardian Maxwell's job manageable.""I bet you could've taken them all on. That would've put them in line for sure." Ingrid huffed."It's because I'm new. It's alright though, I'll deal somehow." I shrugged. Although I said that, I had no idea how I was going to put up with it. It was no doubt only going to get worse. "And besides, if I took them all on, they'll all be missing out on class tomorrow. Personally I think of that as being a blessing rather than puni

I knocked on his office door politely three times before waiting patiently."Come in," he called and I walked in casually. I noticed that he was preoccupied with a phone call so I simply sat on one of the chairs to wait. After around five minutes he finally hung up looking a little tired."Difficult caller?" I asked with concern."Yeah, far too many complaints," he sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "So how are you settling in so far Kai? I didn't expect to see you so soon.""Don't worry Martin, I'm not here to complain." I laughed. "As for the settling in, well I'm doing a lot better than I thought I would. Some of the people here are really nice.""I've heard from Joe that you seem to have gotten along with McCarthy, O'Reilly and French.""They are really kind and accepting. They don't push for answers when I'm reluctant in answering and I really appreciate that." I smiled softly."You also seem to be more skilled than I could've possibly expected. Beating the four royal b

"Hey Kylie, are you sure you're feeling okay? You know you woke up pretty much everyone in the entire school with that lousy scream of yours?" one of the girls sneered. Probably a Moroi, I wasn't sure since I wasn't really looking. I was specifically ignoring them to avoid any unnecessary violent accidents.Deep breaths Kai, you don't want to get into a fight with people you could crush in less than five seconds. I warned myself. I recited the mantra a few times before plastering a casual nonchalant smile on my face."Oh and Ingrid, hanging around her won't help you pass combat class, you know?" she taunted further and I saw Ingrid's expression change from a cheerful smile to discomfort. I realised that she probably wasn't bold enough to back chat the bitch but I sure as hell was."Sorry but, who are you?" I asked with a hand on my hip. I made sure to make my voice light and casual with a hint of spite. Truth be told, I had absolutely no idea. I couldn't really remember most people at
Love And Lies Chapter Eighteen
It seemed that I wasn't totally unlucky today because I managed to avoid anyone in my year and found a patrolling Guardian to ask for help. I took a cautious survey around me before leaving the shadows and running up to the Guardian."Um… hi, I'm doing this wacky exercise as part of training and I was wondering whether you could tell me where I might find the people on this list." I ask him and handed him the aforementioned list."Ah, you must be one of the ones being chased. Guardian Maxwell did mention something about an entire year group having a chase," he chuckled."Yes, he decided to drop the bombshell five minutes before the chase." I grumbled. "When I headed to practice today, I definitely was not anticipating to be chased by the majority of my year.""He left it until the last second? Wow that's unfortunate. What's the prize?""Skipping out on the assault course on Saturday and laps." I sighed."No wonder they're going all out, most people don't like the course.""It can't be

He seemed to take a deep breath before letting it out. "That day of the attack six years ago, one of the best Guardians died along with the last surviving Moroi Ivashkov.""Ivashkov is one of the royal names right?""Right. That was one of the things that made me realise, just having dhampirs fight won't be enough. They might be generally built to be physically stronger, but it didn't have to be like that. That day, I watched from my window as some of the senior Moroi fought alongside dhampirs to take down Strigoi. It was what made me realise that even though sustaining royal lines was an important thing, fighting with the dhampirs instead of standing there and doing nothing while they risked their lives is even more important and would increase the chances of both the survival of Moroi and dhampirs. So after that attack and everything calmed down enough for us to attend classes again, I switched courses and took on combat class with the dhampirs. At first I was on my own but then a c
Love And Lies Chapter Twenty
One way or another I managed to find my way back and for some reason I felt lighter. I felt as though a weight had been lifted from my chest. I suspected that it had something to do with the fact that I was reconnected with Ali. When I first left the school and made life for myself out there, Ali was one of the people that I had missed the most, because he was always there for me. It was easiest for him to be there for me a lot of the time because he wasn't weighed down by other duties unlike everyone else who had a job to do. And there had been times when it was easier for me to talk to Ali because he wasn't an adult yet. In my eyes, he was still a fellow kid of some sort. Now that I thought about it, it had been completely ridiculous that I thought that, but it made me open up to him so much. Losing such a person after I left the academy broke my heart and it took me so long to adjust without all those people around me anymore.I remembered that each time I needed a dose of confiden
