Arms squared, legs in a stance. I through a punch and he doghed it. With my right arm over his shoulder from the punch he found an opening to hit me in my gut. I coughed. He then proceeded to kneel and swing his legs at mine while i was doubled over coughing. I tripped and fell face first.

“Never let your guard down!” He said standing over me. I held my stomach and somberly looked up. Just then Casper waslked in. We both stiffed up, he wasn’t supposed to be here for another hour.

“What are you doing?we agreed that you would protect her, not kick her around”

“We are training”

“Training? I asked you to protect her, not train her” he snarled.

“Her training will protect her from the shapeshifter” i stood up

“Please Uncle Casper, i like training, rather then waiting around for a monster to come and kill me” he looked ghostly pale after those words. Casper and Tavia locked a cold stare as if eye contact alone would burst one of them to pieces.

“Fine, i will allow this, but you must be easy with her” Casper said still starring into Tavias eyes. I saw Tavia smile as Caspers back was turned.

“Right then where were we?” He said. Trying to hide his smile. I thought this was odd. But it all made sense a week later when he stabbed me in the back. Literally.
