It's been 7 days since Elle found the file and things haven't been the same, she goes to sleep every night with the fear of her now persistent nightmares and wakes up every morning feeling disgusted by what she found in the file.   This morning, she woke up with sweat all over her face and her pillow was drenched. She couldn't figure out if it was her tears or her sweat, she ran her hands through her brown curly hair as tears rolled down her face and she curled up in her bed. It keeps getting horrible as the days pass, she had sneaked out and bought her self sleeping pills but that didn't change anything.   "Elle I hope you're awake" Anna called out to her daughter as she continued making breakfast, she decided to turn a blind eye to the drastic changes she saw in her daughter's body because she's too busy making sure her project goes as planned   Elle sat up when she heard her mum's voice a

Anna and Anthony settled down in their seats facing the children who were staring right back at them . They were all staring at each other intensely, the tension around them could be sliced by a knife.   After a few minutes of intense glaring, Anthony broke it by speaking up "You all have grown some courage and I like that" he said with a satisfied smile plastered on his face.   "I'd love to speak to you guys now but I think it'd be better if my wife does that instead" Anthony said and signalled to his wife to speak up.   Anna glanced at all the children first before she cleared her throat and started talking "I know you all probably went through a tough and painful journey during the change but I know the pain is all over now. I'm going to talk to you people about the changes your body has undergone, your newly found ability and how to control it and basically everything you need to know about being a vampire"  she

Elle finished her introduction hoping to at least get a reaction but the crowd remained quiet after that and her confidence started diminishing. The feeling of unacceptance started creeping into her mind and she slowly began to step back.   But all of a sudden they all started cheering and choruses of "you're welcome Elle" boomed through the arena, while Mamock and and the other 3 started laughing "are they okay?" Elle thought to herself while looking at the cheering crowd with confusion written all over her face.   "You should have seen your face Elle! Don't worry it's tradition, they always do this. It's fun to see the life force all riled up" Ruri explained in between laughs and Elle released a sigh of relief, they definitely got her with that prank.  She looked at the crowd that was still cheering and clapping for her and she smiled, she's quite surprised that even tho they know why she's here, they act like nothing is wron

 "what the hell is this?" Elle asked breathlessly as she stared at the sight before her, she just finished running laps and this is staring right back at her.   Demi chuckled at her expression "These are the type of things your physical training will consist of" He said and Elle stared at him for a while before looking back at the arena.     A string of tyres laid there, and right after each tyre is a punching bag hanging on an iron hook. After that, a high fence that's over 6ft tall stood there and after that she couldn't see what lays behind the fence, but she's sure it's another set of traps.   "I'm sure you already know what this is, but to be clear. You're to move into the next tyre perfectly with both of your legs while avoiding the punching bags, yes, they will start moving at a very alarming speed when you start." He explained and Elle just sighed deeply and looked up "Any questions?"  

"Do you have any idea how she's doing?" Mamock asked worriedly as Demi walked into the cove.   Demi shook his head with a little smile on his face "I've not seen her since I left her in the morning, but I'm sure she's doing okay. She's a strong one"   "I hope so too"   "Mamock, what are you going to do about her request of yesterday?" Ruri asked and Mamock sighed deeply, remembering all that happened yesterday.   Ruri barged into the cove with a breathless Elle trailing behind her "Why won't you just answer me?" Elle asked as she held Ruri's hand to stop her from walking.   "Because I don't know! I have nothing to tell you! Is that so hard to understand?" Ruri answered angrily, her voice rising a few octaves
