Chapter 10: A little bit of training goes a long way
Clade in combat gear Brianne stood in the middle of the room on the fighting mat nervous, fidgeting and wondering what to do. She felt stupid just standing there, she had no idea where to start, was she suppose to try and pull of some mortal combat moves, a back flip or some shit.
“So...how do we go about this” Brianne asked the gathered company.
“Well, I think the best way to get you to fight with you natural instincts and abilities is to surprise you.” Devon replied giving her a grin.
“And how do you intend to do that, I...”
She was cut short by a dagger whizzing at her head she quickly side stepped that and found herself facing Jace who waisted no time in attacking her. She surprised her self with amount of speed she used to block and dodge his attacks. After about a minute Jace backed away to give her a breather.
“Very good.” Devon said as he watched from the edge of the mat.
“Yeah, holy shit. I was just reacting. Your fucking lucky that worked the dagger could of killed me.” Brianne replied.
“Meh, I had faith in your abilities, But I want to see you return the attack.”
“I told you I have no training, I have no idea what to do.”
“Just react, don’t think about it.”
This time Devon advanced on her giving her no time to think she quickly dodged his attack and before he could blink flashed behind him and lightly kicked in the back of his knee, causing his knee to give in and sent him to the floor.
“There I fought back.”
“That isn’t fighting, thats cheating.” Jace called from the edge of the mat.
“No, it’s called putting the person down just long enough for me to run away. I’m not a fighter, I’m a lover.” Brianne said with a innocent grin.
“Brianne, your not taking this seriously.” Devon replied as he got up. “That c would of been a good move it you had put some force into your kick.”
“But, then I would of hurt you.”
“That’s the problem, she can’t hurt you.” Isabelle said. “Even if she tried, she’d only be able to put half the effort in, it’s a natural instinct not to hurt you, we need to switch up.”
“Fine, I’ll just have to do the verbal teaching, you guy’s will have to do the hands on stuff.”
“Ok, so who wants to have a go.” Brianne said with a grin, feeling much more confident in here abilities.
“I will.” Alec said as he approached her.
Quick as lightning Alec began his attack with side swipe kick which Brianne easily dodge and returned with a quick right hook to the the ribs knocking the air out of him, before he could recover she swipe kicked his feet from under him sending him to the floor where she proceed to pin him down.
“Good, but you could do better.” Devon commented.
“Yeah well I think I’m doing pretty damn good for someone who has no idea what they are doing.”
“Hmm, good point. Maybe we should demonstrate for you so you can get an idea of what to do.” Devon said as he motioned for Jace to follow him onto the mat.
They began to demonstrate some basic unarmed combat, a combination of mix martial arts styles. It was something Brianne had never seem, almost beautiful to watch. The speed, agility and grace they both showed amazed her. She paid close attention, to be sure to pick up as much as she could, mainly focusing on how that preformed the move they used. She was transfixed, by how easy they made it look. Once they has finished their demonstration, Devon looked over at Brianne and motioned for her to return to the mat.
“Ok, so now you will show us if that help or not. Jace is will be your partner.”
Again Jace and Brianne faced off, but this time Brianne had a plan, after watching the demonstration she had an idea of what she wanted to try. This time around it was Brianne who made the first attack, she gave a few quick punched before she side stepped him and backflipped kicking him in the chin. Jace recovered with a growl and forcefully advanced on her with powerful punches and swipe kicks. Brianne easily blocked or dodged the attacks and flashed behind him kicking in his knee like she did to Devon but this time with force. Jace crumpled to the floor and tapped out saying that he was done.
“GOOD, Very good.” Devon said with a grin.
“Yeah seriously, I’ve never seen anyone move that fast, and how did you do that back flip. I thought you didn’t know how to fight.” Isabelle looked at Brianne with shock and awe.
“I don’t know, I remember seeing it done on a movie and decided to give it a try, I figured my “new abilities” would make it easy for me, if not then I’d fall on the mat and Jace would win. Might as well try it now and not later in a real fight.” Brianne said giving them a shy grin.
“So, I guess natural abilities is a check, now all we have to wait for is the next full moon.” Alec commented as he helped Jace up off the mat.
“Full moon?” Clary said with a confused look.
“Yeah, Werewolves don’t change to the first full moon after they are bitten, so it only make's sense why Brianne hasn’t changed yet.” Alec informed them.
“Well the next full moon is in two day’s.” Jace said as he took a drink of water.
“Great so I need to wait two day’s to find out if I will turn.” Brianne said looking put out.
“What, you don’t want to turn.” Devon asked.
“Well, yes and no, I want to see what I’ll become but at the same time I might be dangerous during my turning.”
“Ok so I’ll lock you in my room for the day.” Devon said with a grin.
“How will that help.” Isabelle asked.
“He’s my mate, I wont hurt him, and being in a room with him with his sent all around might calm me.” Brianne replied before Devon had the chance to make a stupid comment that would embarrass her.
“Ah, and that is the only reason you need to be in his room all day.” Isabelle asked giving them a wink.
“Well, unless you want to risk me going into a blood rage, I think this is the best idea.” Brianne replied giving Isabelle a warning glare.
“Well, we should all go get washed up, maybe go out for a bite to eat.” Devon suggested.
“Sounds like a good idea, I really need a shower.” Brianne said as she headed for the door.
“I think a hot shower sound awesome right now.” Jace commented as he rubbed his sore jaw.
They all laughed and headed their separate way’s.
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter, I promise the I'll make it up to you, the next chapter has some...well lets just say Brianne and Devon take a very long shower ;P
