school, which wasn’t very encouraging for me. Where are you going? She said as I was about to walk in the sword shelter. I looked at her in disbelief isn’t this the place Annabelle I asked lightly. No…well it does look like it but I had rather try something else then swordsmanship, don’t you agree? She added. Annabelle learning how to fight with swords is really good! It will be help us during our journey I exclaimed. I know but won’t it better if we learned different things so this way we would have more skills that we endured during our journey she insisted. But—then I stopped she did have a point, Annabelle your right I said. Of course I am Annabelle grinned widely. Anyways she pointed that looks cool she said as she pointed at across the row. An elegant looking sign hung among its door. What does it say? I questioned. Annabelle looked at the sign trying to decipher it, and then she said it says the power to heal. Heal! I laughed, you mean healing as if healing a wound with bare hands! She looked at me darkly and said I guess so. Well have fun with that I said promptly. She nodded and ran to the place. I sighed shrugging. I walked in the sword shelter seeing many others who were staring at me widely. I looked around to see a very old irritated man walking at me from a distance. Hew as face to face with me, do you thing your worthy enough to go on this very difficult adventure he spoke so casually like a real master! I don’t know sir I replied looking embarrassed. Mmm he said sounding not so pleased. Well you may not disappoint us he started to say if you do the shame will hunt you all your life, so you better make your self worthy or else try living your life in darkness! I didn’t say anything thought the fear build up my chest with tremendous amount of force the butterflies went wild in my stomach. Ok then we shall begin he prompted. I nodded. Do you have any past experience using the sword? I shook my head. He sighed then said did have an interest in using the sword? Well I was always amazed seeing people fight with swords so I figured I really wanted to use one as well I said. Very well then he spoke swiftly. Follow me he ordered. I obeyed as I followed him through the people fighting fairly with other opponents. These people worked very hard to earn their position here. If I feel that your stay here isn’t worth while and you seem to fool around then I have every intension to stop and kick you out of here he said with a very solemn expression. I looked at the back of his head trying so hard to contain my self and trying so hard not to kick it. We walked in a vacant prairie outside. It was beautiful the sun was shining bright the birds were singing their song, the sky was so bright the grass is as green as can be and the water fall were just majestic beauties. I gasped then looked around its beautiful here I whispered. He glanced at me then turned around. If a person came out of nowhere to attack what’s the most convenient thing you would do? He asked. I looked at him funny then answered I will call the police. Not everyone has an access to a phone here. As a matter of fact we use birds or humans to send messages and that will take a while. I looked then answered I would……..run for my life I said feeling really stupid. He sneered how I am not surprised. You know what I would do? He then said. I would keep that sword next to me, amateur or not and I will try to hold him off. That is exactly what your about to do right now he said with a ghastly smile. What I said backing up overwhelmed by what he was saying. He raised his eyebrow suddenly of course not me he scoffed I am sacred I will kill you. Damon! He barked come out. I looked about immediately Damon lunged at me like a wild animal. I dodged it quickly shuddering at the spot. Are you mad I yelled at him!? The old man smirked than tosses me a rather heavy sword. Have fun he said this time his voice was serious. I looked at Damon helplessly searching his piercing blue eyes. Damon I Panted backing away as he moved forward. He looked at me with cold hard blue eyes which didn’t have the slightest bit of sympathy. All of a sudden he was inches away in slashing my entire arm. I gasped scared by his intense seriousness in this battle. I guess I need to use what I have to defend myself I thought. I took out the sword that the man gave me waving it at Damon. He gave me threatening and dangerous looks. I shrugged them of and ran at him, of course he moved away. He darted past me. Startled by his sudden rush I looked back. Damn I thought his reflexes were impressing. This time he waved his sword at me. I was so surprised that I was rooted to the spot. He slashed the sword at my leg and I fell down immediately. He was in for another attack---STOP! Damon froze and looked up. The master didn’t look pleased. He sighed shaking his head at me, Damon thank you for your time; we wouldn’t need you anymore he obliged. Damon nodded curtly then gave me one last pitiful look. He walked away not even giving me a helpful hand. I burned a hole through his back as he walked away carelessly. God damn it! I muttered under my breath. The man looked at me then he smirked you did some impressive dodging though; you do have some ugly cuts and bruises he said sarcastically. I wondered why I hadn’t gone crazy like last time, why I hadn’t transformed into a strong beast. I could’ve taken him out hours ago. My face went red with rage.
