Chapter Seventeen: Raven.....let's just say I'll be getting to know her A LOT better!

"Again," Kyle said, and I went on another lap around the house, my breathing labored but I pushed myself as far as I could go, wanting so badly to fill all the expectations. After so many laps, the forest just seemed to blur into one big green and brown blob, all that could be heard was my breathing and frantic heartbeat.

My lungs burned, and throat ached for water, but still I went on. I had lost track of how many laps around the house I had done, somewhere over a hundred. It wasn't like running around some two story house in a neighborhood, no, this house included the massive front and back yards. That's one way to get fit fast, but really did I need that?

Rounding the last corner of the house once again I saw Kyle reading the ticking time off his watch. I passed him and immediately slowed to a walk, turning back around, "This.....this..is training?" I gasped, bent over, hands on my knees.

"I don't know, haven't had to train anyone yet to be what they really are," Kyle said with a shrug, and I glared at him. At the moment both him and Chris were my guardians, but like normal Chris was no where to be seen. He was supposedly hiding in the woods waiting for the perfect moment to attack me, well to tell the truth I think he just went back to the house to type on a computer.

"Again," Kyle repeated, and I answered with a low growl. Instead of following his orders I went over to where my water bottle was, took a good long swig, than dumped the rest on his head.

At first he was downright angry, his eyes flashing red and black and his body shaking uncontrollably, but then it stopped instantausly and he started laughing with me. Next thing I knew we were racing for the lake, dodging trees and twigs, jumping over streams. My favorite part was when I didn't see where I was even going and involuntarily jumped over a ten foot crevasse. Landing lightly on the other side I continued running, Kyle who had been behind fell right down. Luckily the crevasse was only a foot or two deep, so he just got right back up, but still that set me at a lead.

We were both laughing and running at the same time. Running while having fun was a totally different thing than running for work. We reached the edge of the lake, its crystal blue waters totally calm in the early morning. I stepped one foot in, and immediately stepped out, the frigid water chilling me to the bone. Kyle just ran by, went to a rock and jumped off it, cannonballing into the water. "Come on in, the waters fine," he called out, backstroking in the water.

I just shook my head, a smile played across my face. Watch me just leave him there, and disappear out of the routines. I was just about to turn around when I heard a battle cry behind me, and was hit by something with the force of a linebacker. We both landed in the water, I shrieked as I surfaced, my teeth chattering. Chris surfaced, a huge smile on, "Told you I was waiting," he said with a wink.

I just shook my head with an eye roll. "Yeah whatever,"

We swam for hours, having more fun than ever. I was starting to see that side of Chris that I had always wanted to, the carefree funny version, one that wasn't tied down with Alpha responsibilities. It had been two weeks since this training thing started, and I had barely even seen him, and now to see him laughing and having fun was almost a blessing. The way he acted was contagious and I fell into the moment, leaving all my worries behind me.

I tackled Chris, making him go under. We were both under the water, it only making our features slightly murkier. Our eyes locked under the water, and the world around us faded away. I was taken back into the past; me and Chris were in a tree, both of us younger, me around 12 and him 14. We were laughing and swinging our legs off the edge.
