She could have really seriously hurt all three of them, and they need to call themselves lucky for her going easy on them. Courtney also needs to make sure to leave my sister alone, from now on. I will make sure she gets that message tomorrow during the training session. I will let her, and her crew, all know that if they want another run-in with my sister, she won’t be alone against them ever again. That should do it, and I should have done it when it argument had originally happened. I know my sister, and she is a nice person. Clearly, Courtney and her minions crossed the line, which resulted in the fight. I ended up failing Stella, I had graduated, and I didn’t think it would look good for me to be involved with high school problems anymore. It won’t happen again.
Carter was in his senior year with them, and he had told me he dealt with it. He had believed what the girls said, as it was 3 against 1. He made a mistake too. For his sake, I hope he apologizes to Stella on his own, or else I will have to have a talk with him about it. It is hard to own up to your mistakes, and that seems to be all that I am doing these days, but I am doing it. I think that the fight helped to point out that we were not as smart, or prepared to lead this pack, as we both thought that we were. We both have learned to not take someone’s word for something but actually look into it. Neither of us will let it happen again. They were right, we aren’t ready, but if we stay focused on learning what we need to, we soon will be.
Stella told us that since she was alone most of the time, she decided to go to the nearby human city and take classes. It was either that or spending most of her nights alone. She make sure to tell me, and our parents that it wasn’t our fault, but we knew that it was to a certain extent. Some of the fault lay with Courtney and her friends, they had given her a hard time at school. Then Carter had kind of tied her hands with her not being able to defend herself. I saw Raven shoot a look toward Carter, and I can see his ears were red. He will apologize, but I think he will do it when it is just him and Stella. He better not drag his feet, or we will have a talk. I saw his parents give him the same look and I saw his expression, he will do it. I don’t have to encourage him to do it. His eyes were full of guilt, and it was another lesson we both needed. Not to fall for pretty girls, and what they say to us. We need to watch actions, to see who people really were.
I was impressed with the number of classes that she had taken, she must have been completely fed up to need that kind of an outlet, and guilt overcomes me again. None of us had known. She had just started taking off after she got her car at 16 years old. She would disappear and come back a few hours later. She must have worked through her anger and frustration by doing that. Dad was busy a lot of the time, mom is busy too with her own work needing to be done, as well as, assisting Luna Olivia. Neither one of them noticed, and I didn’t either. But I will make it right for her. I will make plans so we can go and do things like we used to. If I had to be beaten by anyone, I am proud that my sister was the one to do it. I lean back and watch her as she talks to Raven I have to wonder if she held back on me or gave me the beating I deserved. I suddenly have a suspicion that she held back on me, not wanting to hurt me, and that makes me smile. Maybe after she trains me, we can do this fight again, so she won’t have to hold back anymore.
Raven’s POV
I spent the next few weeks training. Stella is a machine, and we decided to go to one of the places she trained at and get help from her friend who was the owner of the gym to help train me. She said that he was a way of explaining everything that just makes it easier. Probably because he has been training people for so long, it was like second nature to him. He corrects me on my foot placement, and how to do the kicks and form correctly. He did have a great way of explaining it to us. He was about 35, and his wife helped him to train, she stayed with us and sparred with me even to help. She could tell that I was more hesitant, and worried about it, and she probably thought that I had been attacked and wanted to learn self-defense for my protection, and she wasn’t too far off the mark.
My dad even paid for private lessons for the two weekends before the ball. It was like he thought that I might need to defend myself, even though I highly doubted it. Stella would be with me that night, and so would my brothers, I doubt I will need to be up to speed so quickly, but I found out that I liked to train. I was just being sarcastic when I invite my former family, and mate to come to the ball. They could not be stupid enough to think that it would be a good idea, or that I was serious about it. But dad seemed to be aware of something that I wasn’t, plus I enjoyed learning. I was good at it, a natural from what Paul and Janell, the trainers, had told me. They had never seen anyone, not even Stella take such a strong grasp of it from just a few training sessions. I have to say that I am much more confident now than I was. I was not looking for someone to protect me like I used to do. I knew that I would be able to protect myself if needed. Dad went with us, or Austin, to my training sessions.
Austin even participated in some of them. Dad paid a lot of money for the one-on-ones, and they welcomed him to join us. Stella was so proud of me, and when I had the last training, my 10th one, I had a little graduation from it. I got to spar with Paul, Janell, and Stella, and I managed to land a hit on each of them. I know it was because I still trained with Stella at the pack that I had gotten up to speed as quickly as I did. She was the reason for it, and Olivia had picked up a gift for Stella for me. I wanted her to know how much I loved and appreciated her for her taking me under her wing from inception. She didn’t care because of who I was, she cared because I needed help, and she wanted to be my friend. She was my only true friend, and I wanted to show her how much I appreciated her.
We all went out to eat after my graduation, and I have to say that loud noises or people just popping up around me don’t scare me like they used to. Sometimes I catch myself getting into a stance to kick someone who just comes out of nowhere, and I have to just laugh it off when that happens. Better safe than sorry, and I see that I am holding my head up more for it. I ran here in the middle of June, and it is just after the 4th of July now, with the party coming up in two days this coming weekend. My days are busy, and things are moving very quickly right now, and I have never been happier. My morning starts early with training with Lanie, Stella joins me for that training. Then we grab a shower and breakfast. I have been trying my hand at a few things, and sewing is not my gift, and neither is any of the other hobby or craft things that I tried. It took a week, but I found baking makes me very happy.
