John woke up the next day and as usual a couple of minutes later he heard a knocking on the door. "Come in" John said.
"Good morning young master". One of the maid vampires came into the room with a tray that has a glass of blood in it. The maid wanted to put the tray on the table that was located next to his bed "It's alright, I'll drink the blood right now then you can take the blood and tray with you". When John took the glass of blood from the tray, he drank a huge amount of blood and he looked at the maid with long brown hair that is tied to a ponytail, she looked like a woman that was in her early thirties "If you don't mind me asking miss, what is your name?".
"My name is Rebecca young master" when the maid said her name, John saw no emotional expression on her face. "I'm pretty sure you know who Elena is right, do you possibly work longer than her here?".
"Yes, young master, this one is familiar with the maid Elena is. This one has also served the Crimsons longer than her"
"Wow, so you must be strong right? If you and Elena had to fight, do you think that you can beat her in a fight?"
With no hesitation Rebecca said "Yes young master, I can beat Elena with no difficulty?"
John eyes were sparkling when he heard this maid is even stronger, having seen how strong Elena was against the werewolf "Can you beat Richard in a fight or maybe Aunt Reina?"
Rebecca looked at John for a moment "This one will never hurt one of the members of the Crimsons"
"Oh come on Rebecca, this is a hypothetical question?". Rebecca stood there and she looked at John who was staring at her, all exited with stars in his eyes. Rebecca then gave a light cough "Well young master to be honest, master Richard is quite young, in some cases a vampire's age does not always mean he is stronger, but a vampire does get stronger with age, in this case I am older and much stronger than master Richard, on the other hand, lady Reina is far stronger then this one". John nodded his head, feeling proud that the person that is training him is considered one of the strongest "You straight aunty Rebecca, I like you" John then drank the last of the blood in the glass and he returned it to the maid.
Rebecca gave John a light bow "Young master, it is not necessary to call this one aunty, Rebecca is acceptable". "Cool, Rebecca it is, well if that is all then you may leave, I want to lay in bed for a few hours before it is time to go training"
"Yes young master" Rebecca replied before leaving the room, when Rebecca closed the door, she stood there for a moment and thought "Young master said he likes me". Most of the time Rebecca always has an emotionless expression on her face but the comment from John brought a warm smile on her face, she then walked away to continue her duties.

After a few hours John put his training clothes on and went to the training ground where Reina was waiting for him. Tip and Nate, who never got the chance to see John, had heard about the whole event where John survived being hunted by a werewolf, they both walked up to John, then Tip said "Young master John, we are really glad that you manage to survive and come back safely, how did young master survive, we heard that one bite of a werewolf is fatal to a normal vampire"
John smiled wryly and scratched the back of his head "It was not that impressive guys, I would not be standing here if Caden didn't come thru and lay the smack down on that wolf guy"
Nate and Tip was excited to hear about Caden "Wow young master, I wish I was there to see master Caden in action, we only heard stories on how great master Caden is with a sword"
"Me too, me too" Nate said. Reina was happy to see the young boys admire her son "Okay boys its time for training, I want you all to start running". John hated running but then he remembered how all these running helped him survive in the forest. Clenching his fist and gritting his teeth, John started running. This time, Reina did not let John rest, she made him run until his legs gave out. After John was done recovering, Reina gave John dumbbells where she made him do all kinds of upper body exercises until his arms felt like jelly.
After John recovered, he took out a plastic bottle of blood out of his storage ring, ready to take a drink until Reina stopped him "No John, this time you are not allowed to drink blood to help you recover, I thought about how I can make the training more intense and I got an idea" she then took the bottle out of John hands.
"Guard!" Reina called to one of the guards, he came up to her and gave her a light bow "How may I be of service my lady"
She handed the vampire guard a note "Bring me this prisoner"
"Yes, my lady"
After 15 min the guard came with the prisoner that Reina instructed him to bring, it was a man who was about 5'8 feet, thick messy hair with a big nose. Reina then walked up to the prisoner "Are you nr 008?"
"Fuck you vampire slut, my name is Russel"
"Hey, you can't talk to my teacher that way" John said and the prisoner Russell looked at him angrily "What is your name boy?"
"John"
"Oh, then fuck you John"
Reina smiled at the prisoner's comments. "John we will not be training outside, we are going to an indoor training room inside the castle "Guards please bring the prisoner along" Reina said while walking towards the castle and John also followed along "aunt Reina, why are we going to train inside the castle?"
"Oh no reason John, I just want this training to be a little private" Reina said while giving a low chuckle. They walked until they reached the lower part of the castle where there is a huge black door. Reina then opened the door and a man was already inside waiting for them.
"Hey Caden" John cried out. Caden waved at John on the other side of the room. John then looked at Reina "aunt Reina, what is Caden doing here? Is he going to train me next?".
Reina looked at John "No, I called Caden to keep an eye on your fight with the prisoner, I am going to leave you here with him as I have business to attend to, do try your best to win this fight"
John was shocked "wait, hold up, do you want me to fight this grown man?"
