Like a boss(Anya)

[Keeley Zeklos]

Keeley was never one to sit back and let her temporary guardian Ryan fight for her. She'd much rather fight by his side then to have him die trying to protect her. It was a stupid rule that Dhampirs had to lay their life down for moroi. A rule that Keeley still wanted to change.
Over the years there have been people willing to see reason and allow only fire users, like herself, go into a fight with Strigoi but her father was stubborn and old fashioned. He forbade her from fighting...still, she kept up her training.

She was currently hulled up in the gym, wearing a pair of spanky shorts, a tan tank top and a pair of sneakers. Her neck length blond hair was tied back into a ponytail. Had it not been for her less than full figure, she'd probably pass for a dhampir but alas, he body was not as full as that of a dhampir. True, she had more curves that most moroi women had but dhampirs would always be more...blessed in that department.

She approached a practice dummy, her guardians stake in her hand. He'd been helping her with her training where he saw appropriate.

Fist after fist, she struck the dummy. The ocassional flamed fist hit hard across the dummy's face. Leaving tiny scorch marks but she knew that would only stun a strigoi, so while in that moment where there was a window of oppurtunity, she shoved the stake up into the rib cage and straight through to the sternum. Just as Ryan had showed her.

The gym looked like a good place to be. She didn't train here, more or less she liked to train outdoors in the open. But she kenw sometimes she had to deal with being indoors after all, Strogoi did not care unless the place was warded like the court and the school most likely it would be unprotected and not so safe.

Coming into the place she realized she was not alone. She knew the girl by face but not by name a Moroi. She herself was a Moroi but using the combination of her two powers illusion and shielding, she was a Dhampire only about four people knew the truth of the whole matter and she would love to keep it that way.

The girl was impressive and judging by the sorch marks, she guessed as much that she was a fire user. At least that was better than spirit, she would take fire or wind or even water as much as she hated it over spirit anyday it drove her nuts and was changing her scratch, had already changed her.

She just stretched standing a bit away from the girl so she would not break her focus.

No sooner had she jammed the stake through the 'heart' of the practice dummy had she heard the doors to the gym open.

Her icy blue eyes looked up at the person who entered, she immediately recognized the face of the person but the girls name escaped her at the moment. Keeley tried to remember her name but ended up drawing a blank.
The thought of asking the girl her name seemed to be a good idea but she had more pressing matters to attend to at the moment.

She turned her attention back to the dummy and, following Ryan's instructions, pulled the stake out of its chest. It was no easy feat, it took alot more strength than she thought it did but she managed just fine.

She smiled, proud of herself before turning to face the girl once more "Hey she spoke, taking a small breath "Im sorry, did you want to practice? I can go if you want me to. It wont be a problem.?" she offered, falling silent after that. There wasnt much else to be said. If she was in the way then she would leave.

"This isn't my gym" she said with a chuckle. "Besides, I rather not be alone here thanks....Anya Kandice...Dhampire and Guardian" that was a lie of course well the first part her name was only halfway of a lie since she only had taken out her last name from that. She was a Moroi and a spirit user but this girl did not need to know that. Remembering what Lissa had said she said. "You look like you think people should be fighting along side their guardians....I don't know about you but...I think you are a Moroi correct me if I'm wrong" she said glancing at the scorch marks.

She pulled a rubber band out of her pocket actually it was a sillyband more than a rubber band but it would have to do. She tied her hair in a ponytail and looked at the girl. She was pretty and blond. She would kill for blond hair and all but she knew she was a natrual brunette or a redhead she had lost track.

"Right, I know its not. I just meant that some people would actually prefer to be left alone when they train...it wouldnt be too uncommon." Keeley explained, smiling very kindly at the girl. There were times, such as this when the young blond had not a single bad bone in her body but other times, times when her father was on his 'your a moroi, you cant fight' rampages, she was the last person anyone would want to be around.

"I just think there are certain moroi that are capable of fighting for themselves and if thats the case than they should by all means fight alongside their guardians. If given the right training, yes...." she gave the same answer she gave most everyone that asked her about he ropinions, not that anyone would listen. Who would listen to the words of a sixteen year old with no life experience? No one, thats who "Yeah, im a moroi... she answered honestly and smiled once more.

"Do you need a sparring partner? Its not everyday I get the chance to practice with an actual person...usually its just a dummy, it'd be nice if I was up against someone that could hit back."

[Anya Kandice (Ozera)]

She nodded as she looked at the girl. It looked like it could be a good sparring session. "We can talk and spar, sometimes my mentor purposely has me doing that for the sole perfect that I need to learn to multitask... or that my focus can be on two things I just got to be good at it that might be more of her point, so by the way you learn, you had to learn it from someone who is it?" she asked. She was just curious. By now she had only met two pairs that practiced with an actual mentor/student relationship well in one of the cases it was more than that but she truly was not going there. Rose and Dimitri and herself and Celeste.

"My mentor happens to be any guardian that wants to fight me...I mean, I am sure you heard that I live at the school and with no parents around...I kinda got the school for a parent it's a real pain but I love it sometimes, a lot of people to listen to but than again also my school mates become my siblings so to speak..."
