Training

"Yeah, just need a little more practice, and about the shaking part, well holding the string for too long does take its toll on a person. But there's also a trick to it." Placing the arrow on the side table I stood next to him

"Shoot another one," I said as he nodded and did the same thing and this time the arrow hit the left chest area

"See, you can do it too, now let's switch things up a bit. Let's move it a little and see if you can still hit it ." I pressed a button on the remote as the target started moving.

He shot his arrows but wasn't able to get a perfect aim at times he would miss the target and hit the wall, "Well you need practice, but don't worry you'll be able to do it quite quickly" he nodded as I stopped the targets.

"Well I wish I could stick around but I'm a little tired after last night. I'll be in my room for now. You keep up with your practice. Might take you at least a day or two to learn. But don't do it for more than an hour a day." Walking back I picked up my daggers as he smiled back and I went back to my room.

I needed rest for so long as I lay I dozed off to sleep, meanwhile Alec entered my room hoping to return my dagger that he saw on the table. He saw me sleeping and slowly kept the dagger on the side table, walking over to me he tucked me in properly covering me with a blanket.

He smiled and watched me for a minute or two sleeping
"She looks so calm and cute while sleeping, She looks so at peace when sleeping. Must be quite tired"

He thought to himself as he moved a little closer to me to push a strand of hair out of my eyes and tucked it behind my ear. Watching over me as I slept, jerking himself out he remembered I was sleeping and decided not to disturb me, and quietly walked away and closed the door gently on his way out.

"Looks like someone is sneaking around Veronica's room. Since when did you become the stalker type?" Jace remarked smirking 

"Fuck!!! Jace, you scared me" Alec jumped around seeing Jace suddenly appear in front Jace laughed at his reaction

"What were you doing in her room sneaking around?" Putting his arms around Alec's shoulder he asked

"I-I wasn't sneaking around" he stuttered "I went to return her dagger and found her sleeping so just kept it and walked out quietly. That's it. No, sneaking around" Shifting his gaze from Jace he responded

"If you say so but your face is saying something else, you liked watching her sleep. You have started liking her Alec" he punched his shoulder

"No, no why would I like Veronica, I'm engaged, I have a duty and besides feelings are just a distraction. I-I don't like her." He stated stuttering

"Says the guy who's gone soft on the new girl and is helping her around," He asks

"I'm not going soft on anyone. I don't.."

Jace patted his back "It's okay, relax. I'm just pulling your leg and feeling for someone isn't wrong Alec. You might also feel something for Lydia after marriage too, so it's okay" Jace walked away while Alec returned to his room thinking about his conversation with him along the way

I woke up after an hour or so feeling fresh and relaxed finally, just the kind of sleep I needed I got up and saw the blanket over me

"who did this? I'm sure I didn't have the blanket on when I fell asleep, Might be Izzy" Shrugging my shoulders I got up and went to the mirror, fixed my hair and clothes, and walked out to the kitchen.

"Hey, sleeping beauty"

"Evening Mocking-bird," I said as Jace and I laugh hugging each other

"So how was your day? Anything special?"
