Blood Debt

Rose was in a kneeling position and slowly stood up.

"You can't seem to control your anger." Rose said. "No worries. I know some anger management skills. I think you would like it." She smirked and put her hands together cracking her knuckles.

'Crack crack'

Jack can hear the cracking of the knuckles from a distance. He looked at Rose feeling the need to defend himself. Then he saw her charge right at him.

Jack's arm was crossed to take the blow of Rose's punch. He felt the pain in his arms. With the force of the punch he flew thru the surrounding forest and trees.

'Bang blag' he hit many trees along the way. All of them broke with the impact from his body.

"Agghhh! F.u.c.k." Jack shouted in pain when he finally stopped being flown.

"Did that hurt?" Jack heard Rose say. He was alert scanning where she was.

Then he saw her atop a tree, standing on a tree branch.

"Let me see what you can do." Rose smiled wickedly and gestured to Jack to come right at her.

This gesture irritated Jack. "I'm not a kid anymore. I'm gonna show you!"

Jack launched his attack on Rose. He jumped hard from the ground and aimed his fist right at Rose.

'Baam!' Rose caught his fist with one hand.

"Your punch is still weak." Rose mockingly smiled.

Now Jack's anger was leveling up. He threw left and right punches. Rose was pushed froM where she was standing a while ago. Now they are treading thru the forest.

Jack was lounging forward with his punches. Rose was moving backwards still facing Jack and evading and blocking his punches.

"Still weak!" Rose yelled.

Jack's anger was not at its peak. His eyes are now turning amber and his hair was turning gray.

"I'll show you weak!" Jack yelled. He put all his strength in his left fist and punched.

Rose saw that and made a defensive stance with her arms crossed taking the force. She flew hard and broke many trees in the process. She planted her feet to the ground to stop her self from being flown backwards any further.

Rose came to a stop but suddenly she saw Jack attacking her. She smiled.

"Ahhh!" Jack yelled while launching at Rose.

Rose was prepared this time. Now she was not only in defense but also in offense. She and Jack are trading blows. This was going on until the sun has set.

It was now dark in the forest. But both of their eyesight was clear as in the day. Jack was laying on the ground panting and exhausted.

He looks at the stars on the sky. In this remote place where there are no lights, the stars where seen shining brightly coating the night sky.

'Beautiful.' Jack thought.

Rose peeked on Jack lying on the ground.

"Are you okay?" Rose asked.

"Beautiful." Jack whispered to himself. Rose blocked his night sky view when she peeked on him. And now all he can see was Rose's face which was more beautiful than the night sky full of stars.

"Huh?" Rose asked confused.

Jack blushed when he realized he said that rather than thought of it.

"I mean the stars are beautiful." Jack averted his eyes from Rose.

"Oh, yeah. Here where the lights from the city are far, you can see the stars clearly." Rose replied. "How are you feeling?"

"A little bit sore." Jack answered.

He can feel his body was aching. Cut and bruises are seen all over his body, his shirt and pants were tattered and a mess. But surprisingly his anger has subsided. He looked at Rose and she was still as beautiful as before. Her clothes were still in tact save for some dirt. Not a single strand of hair was out of place.

'Pity.' Jack thought. He should have wanted to see a little bit more skin.

'So you want to see a little bit of more skin.' Rose said telepahically. She looked at Jack and smiled.

'Hey when did you get in my head?' Jack replied. He can feel his face hot in embarrassment.

"Just when our eyes made contact." Rose said out. "You really are in your puberty. Being hot headed and also having dirty thoughts on the opposite s.e.x."

"Of course I am. I'm a healthy teen age boy." Jack said trying to look proud but there was a hint of embarrassment.

Rose giggled.

"Your wounds are healing fast." Rose said.

Jack was looking at himself and to his surprise his wounds really are healing.

"You are still young and have not yet come off age." Rose said. "But let me ask you. Do you want to start training?"

Rose looked at Jack seriously. Her brown eyes were looking right straight into him.

Jack nodded. "Yes. I want to start training." He replied full of conviction.
