After making breakfast and drinking coffee the next morning, I throw on some gym clothes and head down to the fourth floor in hopes of finding Alissa. I haven't seen her yet, and I can't wait to spar with her at full strength.

My senses have seemed to calm down a little, or I'm getting more used to my supe powers. My hearing is the most notable change. Instead of everything sounding like cymbals clashing next to my ears, whispered conversations are heard with ease. I'm painfully aware of footfalls I'd normally miss. Sneaking up on me will be hard, so I can't complain too much. I'm sure within a few days I'll hardly notice them.

For being late morning, there are a lot of vampires in the gym. Most keep nocturnal schedules, even though the sun won't kill them. I'm assuming those here now are older and thus less susceptible to the sun's weakening effects.

"Demetria motherfucking... what's your last name?" Alissa laughs at herself and bounds over to me. Her long platinum ponytail swings behind her and her vibrant green eyes are filled with delight.

"Barrera." I look her over. "You're looking beautiful as ever."

She places her hand on her hip. "Demetria Barrera, you've got some explaining to do."

"First of all, don't ignore my compliment, fang banger. Second of all, do I really need to explain?"

Alissa smiles. "Thanks for the compliment, Hunter, and I guess you really don't have to... but WHAT THE FUCK, WOMAN?" Her shouted question makes the vampires in the gym turn and give us curious looks.

I notice the guy from the parking garage. The one that called me mouthy and got tossed into a car by Colt for his comment. He's wearing an ugly sneer that could rival that of Severus Snape. Except he's not quite as formidable seeing as he's just a measly vampire and not a wizard from Hogwarts.

"I warned them all," I say to Alissa while winking at the asshole.

He hits the punching bag so hard the chain breaks and it thuds to the ground, sand spilling from where his fist connected with the material. Alissa glances over her shoulder and growls.

"Goddammit, Trey. Clean that shit up and put a new one up."

Trey lets out a frustrated breath and nods.

Interesting. I figured he'd give her a hard time or try to fight with her. I guess Alissa's higher in the ranks than he is. She did say she trains the new recruits. Maybe she trains the seasoned ones as well?

"So, Liss Liss, here's what I was thinking." I grab her arm and yank it behind her back. She doesn't miss a beat and spins under my hold, slapping her palm against my wrist. "We should fight."

Alissa throws her head back and laughs. "You're crazy, you know that?"

My face hurts from smiling so much. "Everyone's crazy, Alissa. Some people are just better at hiding it."

"Preach," she says, raising her hand above her and waving it around.

"Let's go." I use my supe speed to run to the fighting ring.
