Cerys' P.O.V:

I ignored my surroundings, being in total darkness apart from one dimmed light bulb hanging off the ceiling, looking as if it was about to drop, rat droppings everywhere and dust filled my nostrils. I ignored the smell of this damp, dingy room. I ignore the fact that what I'm about to do next could be potentially life threatening an risky. Definitely dangerous but I was taught by the best. I'm going to focus, aim and fire.

I bent down and tied the laces of my brown boots and placed my feet a little apart, firmly on the concrete beneath me. Special ear plugs were inserted into my ear, making sure I wouldn't be able to hear anything. My safety goggles were set securely in place on my face and I grasped the hard, black object into the palm of my right hand.The button on the side of the hand grip was pressed which released the magazine. I loaded up the ammo one at a time into the magazine until it was full and pushed up the hand grip which made a clicking noise, indicating the magazine was locked into place. I disengaged the safety and pulled the top back to load the bullet into the firing chamber.

I remember each step as clear as day. Cadets taught me a lot and all these skills are undoubtedly going to be useful for me.

I cringed as I imagined me aiming at a human or vampire and using them as my target which I may have to do soon. It's not in my nature to do those ruthless tasks but we're fighting for our lives here, yes, we are practically dead but we still have a soul, feelings and a creative mind just as humans do. I still do class myself as one sometimes, forgetting what I have changed into. I don't want to remember.

The fact that this situation has an element of danger to it makes my heart race even faster. I've always been an adrenaline junkie from when I was little and I love the pulsating feeling I get inside when I know I'm about to do something precarious. It makes me feel like a little kid again.

My arms reached forward, holding the gun in my grasp and aiming it at the centre of the target. I inhaled deeply and focused my eyes straight at the middle of the target, my pupils fixating on that spot.

My eyes squinted as I pulled the trigger, the bullet shot forward at an alarming rate and penetrated the target, creating splodges of black gun residue around where the bullet hit the board. Sure enough, the bullet had hit the target perfectly which made my lips turn upwards, I was beaming. I put the gun down before clapping my hands together in pride. I took my ear plugs out and my goggles off.

"I've still got it" I said to myself.

"You sure have" I jumped as I wasn't expecting anyone to reply. The seductive yet charming voice came from non other than Harry. Of course.

"You scared me! What are you doing down here?" I asked.

"I was going to ask you the same thing until I saw what you were doing. I didn't know you could even load a gun, never mind fire one" He exclaimed and walked over to stand beside me.

"Well, you learn something new everyday" I giggled.

"You looked so.. hot when you did all that. And so... dominant. I love it" He said seductively and licked his lips. His fangs stuck out of his lips slightly.

"Harry!" I said looking shocked. My cheeks flushed and I hit him on the arm lightly.

"What? It's the truth. You are definitely going to be the one shooting when we have this battle" He made clear. I just laughed and tutted at him.

"Where did you learn that?" He came behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, leaning over slightly so he could see my face. He inhaled deeply which I found hot for some reason and nestled his face into my neck, pressing delicate kisses to the skin there, my favourite place to be kissed.
