Chereads / The Demon World : My Awakening / Chapter 7 - Getting stronger…

Chapter 7 - Getting stronger…

Tomorrow came faster than I expected because I was awoken to knocks on my door. It was my mum waking me up to tell me to get ready since my trainer had arrived.

So I quickly took a shower, got something to eat, wore a pair of sweat pants and a shirt and headed to the elevator. I regretted that decision.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the daughter of Lady Leviathan, Lenette right?" I turned to see Antoinette in the corner of the elevator which now seemed to be her daily hangout spot,

"Anne. Urgh… why are you always in here?" I asked with a scowl in my head but a neutral look on my face.

"It's a nice spot to be in." she replied with a weird look in her eyes. She stepped out of the corner and came into the light. She was dressed in a pair of very short gym shorts and a crop top.

"Why are you dressed like that? I thought princesses are always supposed to be in ball gowns or something." I said as I pushed the button to the underground gym.

"Well first of all you and I are the same, I'm not a princess and secondly I can't wear a ball gown to train." She said

Anne and I stood in the elevator as it went down. Now that I could see her in the light she was very beautiful. Her brown hair was long and beautiful. Her green eyes were also captivating because they were abnormal. They were like a summer field. She looked like a model and her outfit was even more revealing. The curves of her body were amazing and the contours of her outline was beautiful. I was beginning to understand why Greg couldn't resist her.

"You like what you see?" Anne said. She realized I was practically checking her out.

"What do you mean?" I said like I had no idea what was going on.

Just then the elevator stopped and everything went dark but our eyes adjusted to the darkness easily. Anne walked closer to me.

"Lenette, you're not too bad yourself." Anne said then she bit her lip. She kept getting closer to me and passed her hand through my hair. Just then she backed me up against the elevator wall and drew closer to me. I could feel the warmth of her thighs against mine. Then she moved them in between mine, she was really trying to turn me on. And it was working. Her body was soft and so comfortable to be against. She was like a cloud. She was surprisingly thick for an American white girl. I just couldn't get over the impressiveness of her body.

"Like I told Greg, when I want something I don't ask, I take it." Anne said as she drew her lips closer to mine. She was about to kiss me and I didn't know how to stop her. As she drew closer to me I could feel her breasts against mine. They felt good. She was so close to sealing the deal with me and I might not have had any complaints.

Our lips were a whisker away but our bodies were almost merged. Just then, someone pried open the elevator doors. It was Greg. He saw the entanglement the two of us were in and stood there staring for a second. I think he was aroused by the sight of Anne's body against mine.

"Oh hey Greg. Would you like to Join us?" Anne said as she put her arms around my waist. I took her hands off and got out of that position.

"Join us do what? Nothing was happening." I proclaimed but I knew that if Greg hadn't opened the door, I may not have been able to resist any longer. I don't like girls but Anne was very good at seducing people.

"I knew you were behind this Anne." He said as the two of us stepped out of the elevator.

Greg, Anne and I walked down the staircase together in awkward silence. I could feel Anne's eyes undressing me and I could tell that Greg was still thinking about the predicament he witnessed in the elevator because after every few steps I could see from the corner of my eyes that Greg was looking at both Anne and I and probably completing the scene in his head.

We arrived in the gym. It looked like a regular gym. It had weights of different sizes for bench pressing, a treadmill and other exercising equipment. Then Anne took a tablet and pushed a few buttons then a door opened were the mirrors were and we entered what looked like an inner sanctum.

"Now this looks like a demon gym!" I said as we walked into the inner gym. It had rocky wall covering with blood stains all over. It had different weapons and battle gear. It looked like a war room.

"Just like Lenette, to comment on the décor. You never had comedic timing." A voice came from the dark. It seemed so familiar. The character walked out from the dark. It was Carly!

"Carly, OMG! What are you doing here?" I said while walking towards her to give her a hug but then she grabbed my arm and flipped me. I landed on my back. The flip was so fast I didn't even see the world around me up until I was on the ground.

"I'm here to train you." Carly said.

"Carlene here is the daughter of one of your mother's friends and is also an accomplished warrior. She offered to train you." Greg explained.

Now that I thought about it, it made a lot of sense. Carly was on the track and field team and was always considered the best athlete in my school. She was a brown skinned girl with long curly hair. She was one of the most beautiful girls in her school. She wasn't very slim and she wasn't too big. She was a little slimmer than I was and was slightly taller than I was. She had brown eyes and had a banging body- that was what most of the boys in the school said. She kept jumping from one relationship to another and had even dated a couple of girls.

"Well now, since the introductions are complete let's get right into it." Carly said as she tossed a bow-staff to me. I caught it awkwardly and they all laughed. At least I caught mine. Anne cowered in fear as Carly tossed one to her.

Carly started by showing Anne and I some basic moves with the bow-staff. Christopher joined us later and began sparring with Greg. Everyone kept staring at Anne and asking her why she was messing around. I didn't get what was going on but it turns out that Anne was a crazy good fighter. She started her training when she was about 6 years old because she was a prodigy of some sorts.

Greg offered to take on both Carly and Anne while Christopher taught me some hand-to-hand combat moves and some basic martial arts. I tried to focus on the training but the fight between Anne, Carly and Greg was just so captivating.

Greg started by tossing his bow-staff directly at Carly's head and missed by a whisker but before the staff even reached her Greg had already began pursuing Anne bare handed. He threw some shots at her and she blocked them with her staff. Carly tried to attack Greg from his blind side but he evaded her attack by back-flipping and landing a few feet away from them. Greg ran towards the two warriors and threw some seriously fast jabs at the two of them. Dodging their attacks simultaneously and landing hits of his own. Greg had an unfair advantage. His speed.

"Do you want to know the sad part?" Christopher asked me. At this point both of us were enthralled in the fight.

"He isn't using his speed." Christopher answered his own question.

I was surprised because Greg was moving so fast. Finding out that he wasn't using his super human speed was just extraordinary.

"He's always holding back in fights. I've only seen Greg use all his powers once. Against his father. He went all out. And even then, he only won because Lucifer had been on earth for so long and his powers had dwindled.

Just then, in a blur, I saw Anne and Carly land on their backs next to each other. Greg had held both their staffs and threw them across the room and they landed right in front of us after bouncing off the walls.

"Well, that was quick. I guess it's time for your power training." Greg said with a smile on his face.

While Christopher sparred with the battle demons,-that was the new name I had for Anne and Carly- Greg started to teach me how to use my demon powers.

"When it comes to using your telepathy and telekinesis, you seem to be very good but with your other powers like flight still need a lot of work. And on top of that, your special power hasn't manifested." Greg said

"Well. I guess we've got a lot of work to do." I said with enthusiasm.

"It's not that simple Lenette. If those powers don't manifest I'll have to suggest to your mother that you join your brother and father in her safe house." Greg's facial expression changed. He was serious. I didn't want to sit this fight out. I wanted to help. I wanted to get strong enough to help.

Greg and I continued training and I learnt new things like how to use my telepathy to read my opponents mind in battle to be able to tell their next move and also how to use my telekinesis in a fight.

I could feel myself get stronger. Every day for the next two weeks the four of us trained in the inner gym. Carly taught me how to use weapons, Christopher taught me martial arts, Greg taught me to use my demon powers and Anne kept trying to seduce all four of us at every training lesson.

"Why don't the five of us do something together? It could be a lot of fun." Anne passed this comment at one of our lessons and everyone froze and stared at her. I thought she was crazy but I could see the others were considering it a good idea but after I expressed my dislike they all acted like they agreed with me but I could see that look in Greg's eyes. The same one he had when we were walking down the staircase after the elevator incident. I read the other two's minds and saw that they were both considering it.

Was I the only normal person in that room or it was just a demon thing I would grow into? Nope count me out. Just then, I realised I was the only virgin in the room.

"Okay guys. It's time to head to Mount Olympus. We're ready to hold our own in a fight, even Lenette." Greg said as we ended training. We made our way out of the inner gym and there was a civilian in the gym who saw us walk out. We all stood there in silence and stared at the woman who was on the treadmill. She stopped the treadmill and locked eyes with the five of us and I saw a lewd look in her eyes. She must have thought we had had an orgy or something. We couldn't take any chances.

"Christopher, would you please?" Greg asked him

"Most certainly." He said as his eyes brightened. He walked to the woman, mesmerized her and told to forget what she had seen or heard for the past three minutes.

"That's so hot." Carly said. Anne agreed with her. The two of them were infatuated with the vampire like 'demi-god'.

Greg rolled his eyes and folded his arms like he was jealous but I just felt bad for the woman. What if she had just gotten some life changing news just before we stepped out?

I guess I was the only one who had that feeling because after, no one mentioned it and we all went to our rooms.

My mum had taken my brother and father to her safe house. She didn't tell me where it was. My dad didn't want to stay but my mum convinced him that someone had to stay and watch over and train Toby. She also told me that she later went to hell to report the attack on me in school to the demon council and to ask them if they could tell Lord Lucifer to change his mind but they said he didn't listen to the council when he was leaving hell and even threatened to kill them all if they tried to stop him.

Lucifer was feared throughout the seven realms. He was the only one who had the balls to attack the heaven realm. He was a real badass but he was a good father. He just didn't like a rebellious child. My mum told me to be careful in Mount Olympus and to say hi to Poseidon for her. That made sense seeing as he was the overall head of her natural domain. Just then a thought came to my head.

'I wonder what my mother's demon form will look like.'

She might not be able to breathe air in that form. Then it hit me, what if I become like that? I didn't want to even imagine it.
