panting and sweating was zeke, he had a broken rib, a broken nose, dislocated shoulder, broken wrist and even a few teeth's missing yet he was still standing, how long they had been going on for he didn't know but he wasn't ready to give up yes
damn I wish I could use my powers to there fullest grimm complained
mean while on the other hand tana had bruises all over her arms and face, she had a black eye, a turn lip and her nose was bleeding but she was still ready to fight. t
They where about to go at it again when the sensei from the karate group and the coach from the kick boxing group stopped the fight, they realized with these two this match won't end, through out the match they had seen zeke do the impossible which was get back up every time he was beaten down and harm tana which was thought to be Impossible, it was evident that se was fat stronger than zeke but he kept evolving as the fight went on, getting better, faster and stronger which was astonishing as it was scary. Both grimm and tana weren't ready to stop, the each wanted to see what the other could do but the adults wouldn't let that happen. Grimm switched with zeke and began walking out of the hall, he may have angered some of them but one thing was sure, zeke had gained the respect of everyone in the hall teachers included, on his way out do someone called out to him
hey you, zeke was it?
Zeke turned around and to his surprised it was tana
can we talk for a bit
ok sure
ok pls wait for me outside the changing room I'll just take a few seconds
while he was waiting he took this chance to rest allowing his body to heal naturally, he had to stop his body from healing not to arouse suspicious plus in a physical sparing match it was a no no to use magic in any way.
ok I'm ready
Zeke turned around and was surprised to see tana, she wore a black and white jacket with a blue skin tight jogger and white canvas. Zeke was frozen for a moment but quickly snapped back into reality when she came close to him waving her hand in front of him
oh ehh sorry I spaced out
ok so shall we go
yh sure
the entered the elevator and went down, while in the elevator it was just the two of them so it was a bit uncomfortable for zeke, he didn't know why but he was feeling a bit flustered but thanks to years of suppressed emotions he was able to hide it well
I wanted to ask you something tana said
ok what is it
your not just a normal human , are you
huh, zeke was slowly backing up noticed he had nowhere to go as his back touched the wall
I can tell your not, the others would have noticed but I did, the first few times I punched you gour bones broke, but slowly you where building resistance to my attacks, that's not something a normal human can do
Zeke was slowly getting worried and shifting into panic mode, what if she finds out about my powers, wait why am I hiding then in the first place, I can control it so there's no need to hide it right? immediately flash backs of his fight with Layla came to his mind and he immediately thought otherwise, he didn't really know why he had these powers but according to grimm he had them right from when he was born so it had to do with his parents not him so why was he trying to hide it in the first place, was he even hiding in the first place? he just switched from grimm to zeke at night and fought demons, no one asked so he wasn't really hiding anything
hey
huh
you spaced out again
oh uhh sorry I was lost in my thoughts
oh ok I just wanted to know, how strong are you really
huh, I don't understand
I know you where Improving back there, getting stronger and faster but I feel like you where holding back something, you weren't going all out ad I could tell, you where holding yourself back
Zeke didn't really know how to respond, in truth he was holding back, he didn't want grimm to go all out in feat of the people's reaction to his appearance and strange powers plus it wouldn't be fair not to mention he could have killed her
yh you could say that he replied
I can also tell your not completely human
huh what do you mean
I could sense three different energy within you, two of them are active while one seems to be dormant, while we were fighting one of those energy was growing and it was really active, I've seen other humans and I know the different energy within them, but I've never seen anything like what's inside you before, so I wanna ask, what are you
Zeke didn't know how to answer that, he could tell the energy that was active was grimm but he didn't know about the other energy she was talking about but just then grimm told him to ask her something which brought him out of his own thoughts
I could ask you the same thing, tana from the dragon clan
tana was shocked and froze there for a minute but came back to normal when the doors to the elevator opened and they walked out
how did you find out
Zeke just point to necklace around her neck, that's a magical item right, it masks your present making you look like a normal demi human but I could still trace your natural features like your tail and your horns on your head
tana was surprised, no one was ever able to do that, not even with magic could someone know what she was at least they would know she's using a disguise but nothing else, but zeke knew somehow which proved her point, he wasn't a normal human.
she laughed at this and asked so you know what I am now my question is what are you
That was a question zeke had been asking himself for along time, why was he the able to see ghosts, why did h have these powers, to answer this he had to answer the mystery of his birth and parents but no one knew, the orphanage was burned to the grown but wen before that, when he'd ask about his parents non of the nun's knew anything.
to tell you the truth, I don't know either he answered, I never met my parents and the orphanage I grew up in was destroyed when demons attacked
oh, I'm so sorry
it's fine I'm over it he lied, he always had nightmares about it which was the reason why he was never in a good mood, he had never mourned his dead loves ones or grieved at all he just kept moving, hiding his emotions.
They walked outside and where about to part ways when she turned around and asked
hey, can we meet up again and spar a bit
huh uhh sure I guess but we already spared and I think you won already
don't give me that, I know you where holding back, I could tell, I saw it in your eyes
zeke just smiled knowing it was grimm, he wanted to go all out showing his powers buy zeke knew it was a violation that's why he stopped grimm from using his powers.
well ok sure, next time we meet well see who's actually more stronger
no restraints and no holding back
sure, aldo he said that he wasn't going to cus last time he almost killed some one
oh and ehh about my ehh identify, you'll keep it a secret right?
yh as long as you keep mine
ok it's a deal, it'll be our little secret she said with a smile
zeke didn't know why but for some reason his heart skipped a beat when seeing her smile, he had only one thing in his mind
sh.... she's so beautiful
damn boy she thick as hell
Grimm!
what I'm not lying am I
Zeke didn't know it but a lot of time had past, he only realized this when he got home and looked at his watch, it was 8:30
shit I didn't make dinner for lisa
he rushed in to see two boxes of pizza four bottles of drink and finally lisa sitting at the dinning table testing hee head. On getting in and closing the door lisa immediately got up and looked at the door seeing zeke standing there
I'm so sorry, I list track of time and forgot.....
it's fine
I'm sorry it won't happen... again?
I said it's fine, are you ok, you weren't attacks by some thugs where you?
I...I'm fine, umm about dinner I am really
its ok, can you stop worrying about that, I can buy food you know
oh uhh ok
I'm more worried about you, what where you doing, your not hurt or anything are you? where were you all this time
Zeke just stood there looking at lisa,
it's strange, it sounds like she's worried about me
zeke
maybe I'm dreaming, that dragon girl really did hit me hard that time
zeke!
hey zeke don't think about it too much, remember all the things she did to you before
zeke!
yh your right, there's no way she would be...
ZEKE!
huh
I've been calling your name but you didn't say or do anything, you've just been standing there, are you ok, did anything happen?
uhh no no, I'm fine zeke replied with a smile, I'm just a little tired, I'll be going to my room now
oh ok
zeke went up stars after the awkward moment while lisa just stood there watching him head to his room
That night zeke couldn't sleep, as he was was thinking about his parents, not the seekers his actual biological parents, before when thinking about then he only felt pain and despair cus he was abandoned by them but now he had a reason to find them find out anything about them but it was just giving him a head ache. While thinking about it the seeker parents came to him
Zeke, we need your help again
Lisa couldn't sleep, she had nightmares every night about the dey her parents died but tonight was much worse she saw her parents ghosts still following her, she woke up screaming and shacking
no no no she said shacking and looking around her, she felt so scared that she ran out of her room and did the first thing that popped into her head
zeke, Zeke she called knocking on his room door furiously
I'm coming, zeke opened the door and immediately Lisa hugged him tightly
I....I .. I'm so scared
Zeke froze again, what the fuck is going on he thought
I...I. .I s....saw....saw them
you saw who
m.mmm....my family, t...they ....where following me
it's ok, you just had a bad dream
I... can't go back to my room, I can't sleep, I don't want to be a lone, pls zeke she said holding him tighter
zeke wanted to refuse but he saw the ghosts of her parents begging him with a pleading look so he couldn't say no
he let her into his room and onto his bed, she came closer to him and aldo he wanted to move away her parents told him otherwise. he held her calming her down
it's fine, I'm here and I'll protect you no matter what he said, not his words but her father's. it seemed to calm her down as she stopped hyperventilating and slowly stopped sweating but it made her cling to him more
zeke umm I know it's non of my business but, where were you today
I was at the gym, I lost track of time, I'm sorry
it's fine, I'm just glad you didn't leave me she murmured the last part but zeke still heard her
