Mount Olympus [9]

Elijah

"Teaching us what?" I ask, keeping Niki's hand in mine.

Niki

She shrugs, "Self defense or something. Dad's explaining it to us and mom's demonstrating. Defending as wolves is tomorrow and as vampire is today."

Elijah

I look at Niki before glancing at her, "Nik's not a hybrid though. She's only a werewolf."

Niki

I shrug and she sighs, "Then she'll learn as a human," She says, walking downstairs.

Elijah

I hesitate before following, leading Niki outside.

Niki

I follow, smiling lightly.

Elijah

When I get out there, I can't help but cringe at the similarities to what those stupid training sessions in Twilight looked like. How do I even know that? I stand beside River and keep Niki on my other side, looking at everyone and noticing Jag probably won't be joining us.

Niki

I sigh, waiting for his dad to start.

Elijah

Dad sighs and looks over us before beginning, "Due to what happened earlier, your mother and I have decided to hold sessions of defense in order to better protect ourselves in all forms if something like that is to occur again. First, we'll be focusing on our vampires. Niki, just stay human and do what you can. Rayah, help me demonstrate."

Niki

I nod and watch, Rayah smirking and walking to stand infront of Jace with her eyes red and fangs elongated. This is gonna be a hard one...

Elijah

I squeeze Niki's hand and watch Dad smirk back at Mom.

"First thing is first," he starts. "The weaknesses to vampires and werewolves apply to you, with the exception of the bites. Still, you want to avoid any fatal contact. They'll go for the neck, more than likely. Get them first."

Niki

I take a deep breath, leaning against him, and Rayah looks at us, "Bites will hurt. A lot, by full werewolves, but it won't kill you. For example," She looks at me, "C'mere, Niki."

I swallow slowly walking forward as she holds her hand out, "Bite me."

I hesitate before doing so, my kanines sinking into her wrist, and she jerks back, swearing and shaking it out, "See? Nothing will happen. Beside major pain..but that'll fade in like...five minutes." She shoos me away and I back away back to Elijah.

"Just wanted to get that out there so you guys won't be scared for your lives," She looks at Jace, "You can continue now."

Elijah

Dad flashes a smile, "I was going to have you demonstrate..."

Niki

"Oh!" She smiles, "Right. Uh...what did you want me to demonstrate?"

Bethany tries not to laugh, biting her lip.

Elijah

Dad smiles fully and shakes his head, "What I was talking about... the neck thing..."
