Novelas y relatos de After Every Hit We Take

That felt like a dig at me. Ace raises and eyebrow at me. There is no way he is going to take a hit at me in my condition. It seems like he’s the only one here who cares about my wellbeing. Hopefully I will have time to talk to him after this session. I need to get it straight that I didn’t mean to be harsh turning him down, and that he doesn’t need to hate me for it. Reaching his fist out toward me, I block Ace’s hit. He does the same to me a few times before we step away from each other.

I smiled after her. “Alright everyone, grab your partner and let’s practice placement of hits. But in slow motion please…I don’t need any more broken noses!” Two little boys giggled down at the end. They’d ‘accidentally’ broken each other’s noses last time. By accidentally, I mean one punched the other and broke his, and the other boy retaliated. Fortunately, even though they didn’t have their wolves’ yet, accelerated healing is in our blood so no harm had really been done aside from some blood stains on their shirts.

I am in for a lot of trouble. I have not even recovered from the surprise that came with not being able to get him to move when numerous hits start to land on my body. I could not keep up to even try to avoid most of the hits as they went through me at freewill. What happens after I have been weakened by that is I find myself being lifted up in the air and then slammed to the ground. It does not stop there because I am instantly lifted up from the ground once more and slammed to the ground again.

“Good Joe, if it was a harder hit, he would be out. When we are out there, don’t think twice about putting all of your strength behind your hits.” “Okay Bella, that could work. If you bring out your claws in that position, you could slice his throat.” “Guys,” I call, getting everyone’s attention. “When we are on that battlefield, make sure you finish your opponent before you move on. So Bella, in your position, don’t just slice their throat and move on hoping that kills them. Make sure you slice deep enough so they don’t have a chance to recover.”

I look forward to working with you in the future. Edwin, however, seemed to have lost his mind. He lunged at Diana and clutched her neck, screaming, "You lied to me? You ruined me, you bitch!" Diana clawed at his face and shrieked, "You useless piece of shit! You couldn't even hold yourself together and now you're dragging me down with you! I'll kill you!" Edwin retaliated by slamming Diana's head against the wall, and in turn, she scratched him with all her might, leaving bloody gashes on his body.

“Yeah, you really yeeted me that time.” She let out a breath laugh until I heard her sigh. “You can’t just give up, Vale. That’s not something I ever taught you in all my years of training you. You may take hits but the point is not to take every hit. Don’t just submit to your target. What kind of warrior would you be if after a couple of hits you just rolled over?” “A couple? You got more than a couple, Mom. I’m over here fighting for my life! You’re going to kill me one of these days.”

I'd been told far too many times that I was easily provoked. After an hour we were both panting and out of breath. We were lying on the mats and staring at the ceiling to calm our breathing down. "Jesus girl did you magically improve over lunch break or something? How did you land so many hits? I'm going to have so many bruises."

“And I told you to hit me when I say go.” Before I could process what was happening, he lunged forward. I barely had time to block. His arm brushed mine fast, controlled, testing me. “What the hell!” I yelled. “This is what you signed up for,” he said, circling me. “Lesson one: You don’t wait to be hit. You anticipate it.” I growled. “I should’ve known you’d enjoy this.” His eyes shone. "You don't know what I like." I hit first this time. He stopped it easy.

he instructed. “But what if..” “Are you trying to call me weak” he raised a brow at me. I realized that was how I might have sounded. “No, I mean..” “It's fine, the first hit only affected me because I was not expecting it to be that hard” he explained to me, which made me slightly relieved. “Now hit me again” This time, I did not hesitate and hit him again, he caught the punch, but this time he did not move backward like the first time.

Not centre mass, but close. “Better.” He took the gun from my hand, his fingers brushing mine, and set it on the desk. Then he turned me around to face him. He placed his hands on my shoulders as his storm-grey eyes bored into mine. “You're getting the hang of it. I don't doubt you can take anyone down out there.” He touched the back of my ear. “You'll get used to the ringing pretty soon.” I nodded. “I guess so.” “One more thing,” he said after a few seconds of silence between us. “You needed to learn how to take a hit.”
