Destroyer

Asya awoke the next morning to the sun shining into her window. She
lay in bed thinking about the previous night's events. She heard a
door creaking and turned towards the sound. Leraya came dashing in
and pounced on her mother. The little girl scrambled around in the
covers like an excited puppy, finally nestling down nto to
Asya. "Mama, are you ok now? Did he help you? I asked him to, you
scared me. I'm glad you didn't have to go away this time. I hate it
when you leave me, why do-" Asya began to laugh. "I'm fine, sweetie.
B did help me. Did you sleep well in Teran's room?" Leraya nodded and
grinned. She glanced toward the door and said,"Teran is fixing
breakfast for us. I'll meet you downstairs ok, mama? She said that I
could help. I get to learn how to cook. She said that you and Blade
can't come downstairs until we call you. Bye-bye!" She kissed her
mother and jumped out of bed. Asya watched as her daughter flew out
the door and thumped down the stairs. Asya laughed to herself, Leraya
always seemed to have enough energy for the both of them.
She had begun to doze back off, when she suddenly got the feeling
that someone was watching her. She opened her eyes and sat up.
Standing at the door was Blade, still in his clothes from the night
before. He caught her gaze and smiled. "Good morning. I, uh, hope you
slept well." She stared for a moment, then blushed and nodded. She
couldn't help but to enjoy seeing him standing there. Asya could feel
his golden eyes watching her, drinking in the very sight of her. She
didn't like to be fancy when she slept, so shorts and a tank top were
perfect for her. But right now, she didn't think it mattered what she
wore around him. He began to laugh softly, and she glanced over at
him. "What's so funny?" "The fact that me and you are stuck up here
until breakfast is ready. I was wondering if you wanted to come with
me to do a little training before they call us." Asya swung her legs
over the side of the bed uneasily,"What kind of training?" "I saw
what you did to Teran the night we found you. You're good, very good.
I just wanted to see what else you were capable of." Asya blushed
even more ferociously. "Alright", she said softly.
Blade led her upstairs to the attic. There was all kinds of training
equipment up here. She stood in the middle of the room looking around
her. Out of nowhere a japanese spur-blade flew at her. She quickly
leaned out of its path, following through with a sharp upper kick
that sent the blade to the far wall, where it hit the floor. Blade
stepped forward and began to applaud. Asya turned on him,"What the
hell was that for? I could've been killed! Are you crazy?" He started
to laugh again, and suddenly she was confused. Blade walked toward
her,"You ARE good. I'm sorry. I had to test your reflexes. Quick, you
are very quick." He passed her and walked over to where the blade
fell. "Look at what you did..." He picked up the blade and showed it
to her. Asya gasped, the blade had been split in two from the force
of her kick. Blade strode towards her. He dropped the blade pieces
and grabbed her hands. "You are strong vampire, Frost has taught you
well. Let me teach you how to be better than that, though. You could
be greater than he ever imagined." Asya snatched away from him. "Is
that all you see me for is a weapon to use against Deacon?! Is that
all you see in me is fighting skills?!" Blade stepped forward and
grabbed Asya by her arms. "No...I see you as more than that. You are
a beautiful young woman with a remarkable affection for your
daughter. Your fighting abilities are incredible. There is no way
that I would use you to get to Frost. Believe me on that..." His
gentle, but firm tone made Asya pay close attention. He took a hand
off her arm and stroked her face gently. She closed her eyes and
turned away from him. "Asya..." Asya took a deep breath, then turned
back and kissed Blade. He held her close to him, one arm around her
waist and the other on her back. She pulled back and looked deep into
his eyes. She wanted him so badly now, and this time she didn't want
to stop.
"Mama!! Mama!! Breakfast is ready!" Asya laughed and turned around in
Blade's arms. His hands rested around her waist with her hands on top
of his. She leaned her head against his shoulder,"I guess we should
go downstairs. Aya will come looking for us if we don't." He brought
his head down as if to kiss her. Instead he kissed her neck
gently. "Yeah, I guess we should. Come on." They went downstairs hand-
in-hand to find Leraya and Teran sitting at the dining room
table. "Mama you took too long. We're ready to eat now!" Asya looked
over at Blade. They held each other's gaze for a few seconds, then
started to laugh. Teran smiled, it was nice to hear Blade laugh again.
She hoped it would last...


Ok guys...Asya is not a full-blown vampire. She's a half-breed. that's why sunlight and all thoses other things ain't killed her yet and she can survive like a regular human for a time without blood. OK? ok...next chapter
