me for exactly who I was. I guess you could say I was happy then, more so than any other time in my life. I touched the dress and then looked up at him.
    “I think I like this, I like it a lot.”
    “Okay then. Come with me.” he opened the door up and I could hear it all, the yelling and the clanking of metal. I stepped out into the hallway and Gunner started to walk along with me in tow. We reached the end and then he opened a door up to expose a huge atrium, I looked up first to see the glass dome high overhead and then heard the yelling again and looked at a man and women who were fighting. Gunner called out to them and they stopped and turned to stare at us. I stood up straight as the girl eyed me closely and then walked towards us. She looked hardened with battle, almost muscular to a certain degree. She then spoke and the accent was a bit strange to me.
    “She is tiny.” She said as she looked me over with distain. Gunner smiled and then crossed his arms on his chest.
    “Since when did size matter with you Finna?”
    She laughed, a deep bellowing laugh like a man and so did her sparring partner who stepped up next to her and slammed his staff into the ground. It echoed in the room.
    “Size always matters.” The man said as she hit him from the side and he stumbled. Gunner laughed and turned to me.
    “This is Finna and Ari, they are both Hellhounds, but before that they were Vikings, sometimes I wonder which is more vicious, the Viking or the Hound.”
    “Viking!” Finna yelled out as Ari shook his head and stepped up to me. He extended his hand and when I extended mine his grip was harsh and he shook me a bit until I regained my footing. He then looked at my choice in clothing. His was leather, but black and he had a bit of black and brown fur around the collar of his black coat.
    “Shiny.” He said as Finna hit him and knocked him aside. She looked me over and then hugged me, picking me up as I tried to breath. She lowered me and I regained my composure as Gunner stepped forward and held his hands up.
    “I am happy to say that Halo will be joining in the training, she needs to be brought up to speed so I expect all of you to do your very best to help her.”
    Finna walked away as Ari lingered, looking down the length of my body. I raised an eyebrow and placed a hand on my hip as his lip curled into a grin of its own.
    “I like your attitude little one.”
    “I am not little.” I said as he stepped back and spun his staff in the air, he did a few twists and turns as if he was showing off and Finna rolled her eyes as she stepped up behind him. She reached down and caught his right foot, swinging to the right and flipping him over with the end of her staff. He landed hard on his back as she laughed at him.
    “Try thinking like a warrior and not with your cock!” she yelled out and I laughed as Ari did too, everyone but Gunner. He then turned to me.
    “Be sure to pay attention to them, your survival depends on it.”
    I watched as he walked away, his cryptic message lingering behind him.
    I then felt a hand around me and Finna pulled me along with her to the center of the room. I stood there as Ari watched me and then a man stepped up, one I have to say was almost as attractive as Gunner. He seemed to come from out of nowhere. He bowed to me and I watched him as he held his hand out and a sword was placed into it. A sword was presented to me too and I took it as I had no choice.
    “Halo, I am Dorin.” his accent dripping in sexy. He must be Romanian, has to be.
    “Romanian?” I asked him and he grinned.
    “Yes.”
    “Don’t tell me, you killed Vlad the Impaler.”
    “How did you know?” he asked me and I stepped back with the sword in my hand.
    “He is our resident vampire slayer.” Ari said as he laughed and I looked him over, steadying my grip on my weapon.
    “Very funny. They seem to think I am an expert in vampires.”
    “You kind of are.” I said to him. “I mean Vlad was
