When I get to Scar club I'm escorted to the back where a gym and boxing arena is set up.
"Hey, Beat." I call when seeing Beatrix killing a boxing bag.
"Hey, Adira." She says back. "Clothes are already prepared in the changing room."
"Okay." I walk through the door on the side wall which is a small changing room. I look at the duffel bag on the bench and change into the clothes in it. "Do you have a hair band I can borrow?" I ask Beatrix after changing.
"On top of the locker."
"Thanks." I grab one and tie my hair back into a tight French braid. My fringe is pulled back in the braid so that it doesn't block my sight.
"Hey, Adira." Theodore says when walking into the room with Damien behind him. "Are you going to train now?"
"Planning on it." I smile at them while putting a glove on without the padding. I walk up to a boxing bag and punch lightly to feel how it is.
Bam! Bam! Pak!
I punch twice before kicking the boxing bag. I smirk when it tears in two. "Damien, do you wanna fight? The bag ripped." I look down at the inside of the boxing bag.
"Not again!" Damien sulks.
"Oops." I shrug. "Let's go." I change into gloves with lots of padding so that it's not my hand hitting Damien or else he'd be seriously hurt.
Damien also grabs boxing gloves with padding. "Don't hit my head." He says and steps into the boxing ring.
"I know, I know." I nod repeatedly. "You can take the first hit." I offer.
"No thanks. We start at the same time like a normal match." Damien rejects.
"Theodore start the match." Beatrix pants, stopping for a moment before going back into punching the bag.
"Ready. Start!" Theodore yells starting the match.
Damien and I circle each other before going straight for the punches. I'm quicker so I punch first which I choose his shoulder. Damien uppercuts my gut and does a side kick. I punch him on his waist before sending another to his shoulder.
"I didn't know that we were doing kick boxing." I say when stepping back.
"Well we are or else I don't stand any chance of winning." Damien goes for another kick but I block it with my arm.
I kick him in his left waist before sending a high kick to his right shoulder. "I wonder how far I can go." I mumble and do a split leg kick sending Damien flying into the corner. "Use your powers or else I'm beating a child."
"Fine." Damien agrees and he becomes quicker and stronger than before. He also can endure a lot from before.
********
After three hours Damien and I stop sparring and go for a run.
"Nicholas went back to Spain!" Damien exclaims in disbelieve.
"Yes. Loren might get another seizure so Nicho has to be there." I nod. I slow my speed to run beside Damien and not ahead.
"Wow!" Damien shakes his head. "He said that no one can make him leave Japan yet a simple threat could."
"What can I say, I have a way with words." I chuckle.
"Theodore is going for a supply run in a couple of weeks and should be back before Benjamin arrives. Silver and wolf bane are in the supply. If you want some you can take it."
I smirk. "That would be great." I gasp when thinking of something. "I could film it and send it to the pack!"
"When you say you'd film it you mean us right?" Damien frowns.
"Yup. Can't show my face or else we'd all be in deep sh*t."
We finish our run with a race which I won by a long shot.
"Haha Dami you still can't beat her with your werecat race." Beatrix laughs.
"Oh shut up." Damien snaps.
"it just means that he has to work on it." Theodore comments. He throws a towel at the both of us.
"Thanks." I say and begin wiping the small beads of sweat from my forehead. "Seems like I need to work on my running but nice try Dami. You nearly made me go all out."
"Yes!" Damien exclaims lowly.
"Nearly. Don't forget nearly." I hurriedly say so he doesn't get ahead of himself.
"Next time I'm going to win." Damien declares.
"Sure. But do remember that most of my powers are sealed including some of my speed and strength."
"Meh! I'm still going to win with the little power you have."
I roll my eyes. "You better keep that promise then." I go to a boxing bag and start beating it but not as harsh as before so it still keeps intact.
******
An hour later Beatrix stops me from punching the boxing bag.
"You have a call." She says holding my phone in her hand.
"Thanks." I say and grab the phone from her. I walk to the changing room while accidently accepting the call without seeing who it is. I change into my former clothes and grab everything before bidding goodbye to trio and leaving. I look at my phone to see that the call has been connected for a minute. "Hello?"
"...."
"Ari!" I say.
"Were you just changing?" The voice asks.
"Yup. Aiden is that you?" I ask.
"Yes." Aiden confirms. "Sorry but uh Aria wants to talk to you but she didn't want to pick up her phone. Anyway sorry."
"No worries. It's my fault for accidently accepting the call. Anyway how's school in America?"
"It's good. It's a lot easier than learning and controlling our powers."
"Are you fitting in? Had any fights yet? Got a crush?"
"I'm not like a human, Adi!" Aiden whines. "I don't get crushes easily and even if I did do you think that you or Ari would let me? The answer is no. Everything else is good I have made one friend so far and haven't had any fights or arguments with anyone."
I pout. "Okay. I believe you. Now are we just going to talk or are you going to pass it on to your sister?"
"I'll pass it on to Ari, you're too hard to talk with."
"Smart*ss!" I curse at him.
"Yeah, yeah but you still love me." Aiden refutes.
"Fallen angel!"
"You-" Aiden yells but the phone gets snatched away from him.
"When I say call her I mean call her and pass it to me and not when I go to the toilet." Aria snaps.
"Sorry." Aiden apologizes. "I'm going to eat Adi's emergency snacks in the lounge room!" He runs off before I can even yell at him.
"That brat!" Aria curses. "Hi Ads."
"Hey Ari. What did you want to call me about?" I ask.
"Just had to warn you to watch your back. Things are getting a bit chaotic everywhere. The Woods brothers packs just all got attacked in less than a week and although there aren't any injuries it's still a massive hit with destroying property." Aria pauses. "I think someone is trying to threaten you."
I momentarily stop walking. "Any guesses?"
"There's too many but we are trying to lessen it to a few but whoever did this has combined many races into one."
My eyes flicker. "Elders."
"We were thinking that too but all of the new elders are being heavily monitored as well as their family even the old elder is being monitored."
I breath in deeply. "Be safe and activate the islands defense."
"On it. Well that was all I wanted to say. The others wanted to also warn you but they were told not to as to not to make you worry but when Lemuel's and Lennox's pack got attacked I just had to tell you."
I nod but she can't see. "Okay. Thank you, Ari. I feel relieved knowing what's happening when I'm not there. Hope you all are safe and say happy birthday to the upcoming or already gone ones. Love you."
"Love you too and I will." Aria says before hanging up but before she hung up I could hear yelling in the background.
[Plans has changed] Astrid says.
'Yup. We have to move it up to the end of this year or beginning of next year'
By this time I have reached our apartment building. I put my phone away and begin to go to our apartment.
