Chapter 22 Chapter 22

We were training. And we were training hard.

There is no way in the world I'm gonna lose to him.

He is a dark shadow. A shadow you need to say far away from.

"Get up, run faster, stay put" I was yelling commands at my people.

It was hard cause they were already tired. They were barely keeping up.

"Come on people I know you can do better than this," I said encouraging them.

"You need to relax a little " dad said " look at them Angel they can't do more than this," he said looking at them pitifully.

"They are not doing enough," I said walking towards the archers.

"Look, aim, shoot. is that, That difficult, I don't think so." I said pulling out a bow and arrow and looking at the guys beside not taking my eyes off him and pulled the arrow and shot straight at the bull's eyes.

"There is no difference between me and you. If I can do it so you can too" I said and thew the bow in his hands.

"Everyone take a break" Dad announced powerfully.

"But-" " it's an order," he said narrowing his eyes at me.

I was getting angrier by the minute. The flashes of the past were hunting me.

I took out both of my swords and went on the stage in the middle of the training field.

I started moving my hands and swinging my swords professionally.

I started hitting the dummy taking out of my frustration on it.

stopped the sword from hitting the dummy.

I looked at my right and saw Caspian holding the sword.

"What are you doing? " I asked him. Sweat was flowing freely on my body. I was dripping wet with sweat.

"Fight me," he said but before I got the chance to oppose he stroked first. Taking me completely off guard.

"What the-" " I said fight me," he said but this time I stopped his attack and we started fighting.

He was good, too good for me to handle.

Within minutes both of my swords were on the ground and I was too but with his sword was pointing at my throat.

I was breathing heavily, unable to move.

"Don't let your anger blind you, that's the only reason which leads to death" he said and moved his sword away. He offered his hand for me to take but I refused it and stood up on my own.

"You can't be angry on me for being helpful," he said looking at me with an annoyed expression.

"I'm not angry at you. I'm angry with myself " I yelled frustrated pulling my hair.

"Stop it. You're hurting yourself " he said pleadingly. There was hurt written all over his face.

I felt guilty about my behavior. It's not his fault, he didn't do it.

"I need to go," I said and walked away.

I went straight to my room and took a cold shower. I scrubbed my skin until it was red. Came out with a towel wrapped around me.

I changed into pajama pants and a loose shirt. Let my wet hair down.

I was standing in my balcony enjoying the cold air flow around me.

A pair of arms were wrapped around my waist from behind. And his chin was on my shoulder. I placed my hands on his arms and leaned more into him.

"I'm sorry" he whispered. His breath sent a shiver down my spine.

"What for?" I asked enjoying the tingling feeling and electrical waves flowing through my veins.

"I shouldn't have been hard on you," he said and guilt could he heard in his voice.

I turned around to face him " You were trying to help me Caspian it's not your fault," I said wrapping my arms around his neck.

"It's him isn't it?" He asked.

"Yeah," I said moving away.

"It started a year ago,

FLASHBACK

"Angel your next mission is up and it's not a regular one," Dad said sternly.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

I mean I have always been on different types of missions you know like killing vampires, werewolves, mermaids, etc.

"Because he is a monster," he said feared and furious at the same time.

"Who is he?" I asked.

"Damon"
