Shadow Guy

Chapter Ten

I woke early in the morning......without the sun shining in on me.......or the nightmare. I looked at my clock, 8:30am, wow first time I've woken at that time and had a proper night's sleep. I guess the nightmare stopped cause it already happened but I kinda expected another nightmare, oh well I'm happy like this.

I yawned, stretched and pulled back the cover. I walked downstairs to the kitchen still yawning. "Hi," I walked by J.T eating his toast.

"hi," I said flatly opening the fridge. I heard him chuckle under his breath and I turned around to face him with an annoyed facial expression. "What!?!" I asked placing my hands on my hips.

"Nothing, nice pants," he said before doubling over in laughter. I looked down and realized I was wearing my short cut peanut butter pants and a baggy top that didn't fully cover them. My cheeks burned red and I turned around taking the milk out, ok hold up can vampires eat? I guess they can. I walked over and reached for a bowl. "So honey looks like you got me first,"

"Don't ever call me your honey," I said giving him a threatening look.

"Oh honey don't be so cruel," he came closer to me and put on a joker face before leaving and shouting back at me to meet him in the attic after I was done. Ah! I hate him. Come on who the hell can stand a horny annoying player!?

I didn't bother to eat anymore; instead, I went back upstairs to James's room. I knocked first but there was no answer, I knocked again and still no answer so I just went in. He was lying on his bed asleep. I crawled on to it next to him and as if by instinct he cuddled next to me.

"Aren't you meant to be with J.T?" I smiled to myself, he wasn't asleep.

"Yeah, but a few minutes won't hurt," I felt him smile as he placed a kiss on my cheek. I snuggled closer to him and turned to face him. I love his eyes; I could stare at that blue all day and never get bored.

"You shouldn't be here you know," I dismissed what he said and kissed him on the lips, I've wanted this for so long so why not have fun now that I had it? For some reason, I pulled away from him,

"I should go now," I gave him one more kiss and went up to the attic where J.T was sitting just waiting for me.

"Ok let's start, first punch. This is gonna bring one of your skills out ok? So you need to focus." He brought out a manikin and threw a punch making it go flying across the room, he did it normally so that I could see it, otherwise, he would use speed to go with it. "Speed is the best but we'll stay too normal your turn," he stepped back after placing the manikin back up. He leaned back against the wall with folded arms watching as I stepped closer to the manikin.

My hands clenched into fists and I pulled my arm back, throwing it forwards hitting the manikin but it didn't move. "Right we're gonna need more practice," he came behind me and lifted my arm up like I did before, "Now focus, block everything else out," without even knowing it I swung my fist forwards and the manikin went flying again across the floor. "Good," J.T said backing away. I turned to face him giving him a 'ha-ha' look. "How about we practice on something more.....solid, you and me,"

what!?! My face went from ha-ha to gaping holes of confusion! I took a deep breath and faced J.T.

He was wearing that really annoying smile, ok that's gotta help. I brought my arm back and punched him in the face. He fell to the ground holding one hand on his nose. "s**t! Girl, you got that under your belt. Let's just move on to kicking."

I smiled to myself. He got up and I saw he wasn't hurt a tiny bit! Damn it! He showed me different kicking moves and when it came to my turn I couldn't do a single one of them, "Ok maybe you should change out of your....night time clothes," I sighed and walked downstairs.

I pulled on my black tracksuits, while at least I have something that's decent. I went back upstairs and we started again. And still, I couldn't do one kick.

"Here," J.T came from behind me placing his hands on my hips.

I could feel his forced cool breath on the side of my neck. His cheek was almost touching mine. He moved his hands down my stomach and stopping just before the off-limits zone. He did a V shape with his hands there and my breathing quickened as I felt his fingers brushing the rim of my knickers over the tracksuit bottoms.

"Swing your leg now," he whispered into my ear. I rested my head back on his shoulder feeling his cold skin against mine. My leg went up in the air and back down; I hadn't even noticed I had done it with speed. J.T stayed like that for a few more seconds before letting me go.

"Wow....did you even know you just used speed in that for the first time?" I shook my head and then looked at the clock on the wall, s**t! I've been practicing for two hours straight!

I looked at J.T he was totally drenched in sweat and I was too. He sat down on the floor crossed legged and I couldn't help but think how sexy he looked in grey tracksuit bottoms and a baggy white top.

Ok, snap out of it! I told myself, what happened back there before was way, way wired! And well when James touched you he never made you feel like........that! I couldn't think of a proper word. I sat next to him on the floor.

"How did you get turned?" ok so maybe not the best thing to ask but who can blame me for being curious? He looked at me and I saw....anger in his hazel eyes.

"Don't ever ask me that again!" he shouted before getting to his feet.

I jumped to mine and looked at him but he looked down at the floor,

"I'm sorr....." he cut me off,

"Just go Brie, go!" I backed away at first out of fear and then I ran downstairs and into the living room.

I sat down on the couch and took deep breathes.

"Ready?" I looked up to see Matt looking down at me. I nodded and hoped maybe this would go better then J.T's did. Matt wore skinny black jeans and a blue shirt with a....tie, John had the same type of fashion sense that Matt did whilst J.T was the baggy tracksuit and top type of person and.....James well he'll wear anything along as it's with jeans.

I got up and faced Matt, "Right. We're gonna start with speed, you've already mastered your fangs last night." I nodded and looked as he was standing in one place and then all of a sudden he was behind me.

I jumped back and sat down. "You just need to not think about it and that's the trick, you can move around as fast as you want just don't think about it." I nodded and closed my eyes to try when I opened my eyes I hadn't moved.

I tried over and over again but it didn't work. We spent an hour on it and I still couldn't get the hang of it. "Ok well.... I can tell you that with the strength you just need to find an emotion deep inside you, hold onto it and let it out through your body," I nodded I know I can do that but the speed I can't.

Matt came from behind me and to tell you the truth I can't wait to find out other stuff I can do apart from the stuff that I know from seeing it being done in front of me. I closed my eyes and tried again. I just thought of nothing until J.T came into mind, I saw the way he was angry at me for asking him about how he was changed.

I felt wind gush around me and when I opened my eyes I was in the attic standing in front of J.T, way close! His eyes were wide open in shock and surprise. Then almost as soon as I realized where I was I felt something heavy inside my chest.

It felt like there was something blocking me from breathing. My hands flew up to my chest and I fell but J.T caught me before I hit the ground. I couldn't breathe. I could feel my lungs began to tighten and my gasps for air were useless.

J.T hand was resting under my head, and his facial expression was panicked.

"MATT!" he called out not moving his eyes from mine, in two seconds a very worried Matt appeared at my side. His voice was calm, and he held onto my hand moving it away from my chest.

"Close your eyes and don't gasp for air no matter how much it hurts," I did as he said, I squeezed his hand tight as my lungs tightened even more. I felt him place his hand on my chest and then the block on my chest went just like that.

My eyes shot open and I sat straight up taking in a deep breath of air. I fell back down on J.T's hand and looked up at Matt with a frown, "You....teleported, you can't do that while you're a half vampire, it's too dangerous. When you teleport you don't get the right amount of air in your lungs so you die....like that, you're lucky one of my powers is healing and maybe can be yours."

"How the f**k could she teleport when she can't speed without knowing it?" I looked back at J.T and remembered how I got here, I thought of him and the attic, Matt answered J.T's question.

"I don't know but at least she's mastered that, but you can only use it once you're a full vampire. Everyone here can do it....but it took us all like eight months to be able to do it. Anyway, I'm the one with all the other powers that aren't the normal one's healing, for example, so don't ever do that again, whatever you did."

I nodded and took Matt's hand helping me up. "I don't think I've ever treasured breathing as much as I do right now," I said taking in more gasps of air.

"Ok, ok, ok back to the speed, do it again think of nothing, master the taking of air all around you," oh wow! Why didn't he say think of the air around you before!?!

I moved away from both of them and closed my eyes again. I felt a slight wind blowing at me for a second and when I opened my eyes I was standing in the middle of J.T and Matt. Matt clapped and hugged me, "Thank god! My time hasn't been for waste! Praise God!" he said letting me go.

Well, now I can speed and hopefully put it in my fighting whilst knowing it. J.T was looking at me funny and I decided to walk back downstairs. I took out a glass and drank several gulps of water. I guess I really screwed up this time; he most probably wants to kill me, that's what I get for being nosey.

"I was nineteen," I jumped looking around to see J.T standing in the door frame.

"You don't have too I shouldn't have asked.....it was wrong of me," he cut me off by all of a sudden being in front of me and lifting me up on to the kitchen counter.

He stepped back and started his story.
