1. "Alright, one more time, then we'll be done for the night." Andy panted, wipping sweat from his brow. His feline like eyes glowing in the dark of the night, his face & body speckled with small scratches & bruises, his bare chest & tight abs glistening with sweat..
   
   *Focus..* You scolded yourself as you tried to slow your hammering heart. Your lungs were on fire & your body was sore. Your breath was coming in short gasps & you were drenched in sweat. You leaned over & grasped your knees, desperately trying not to pass out, you didn't know how much more your body could take.
   
   "Andy, I can't do this, we've been training all night.." You whinned, straightening up & pulling your hair back into a ponytail while you tried to catch your breath. After your 'dream' the other night, Andy decided it would be a good idea to teach you how to fight. & Not just to fight in general, but to fight off supernatural creatures. He had been worried sick that something would happen to you while he was on tour & he wouldn't be able to get to you on time. After the hooded man in your dream damn near strangled you, & he needed to make sure you'd be able to defend yourself ATLEAST until he could make it to you. The fear & hurt that shown in his eyes as he made the suggestion broke your heart, so you automatically agreed to let him train you. Now though, after about four hours of nothing but sparring with your supernatural boyfriend, with his super strength & super speed & what not. You weren't sure if agreeing was such a good idea after all.
   
   "No, you have to beat me atleast once. You haven't at all tonight." You rolled your eyes. "Come on, you can do this." He shifted his weight from foot to foot & stretched a bit, as if he was about to Box, as he gazed at you with serious amber eyes. "Just beat me once & we can call it a night & go to bed." You rolled your eyes & sighed.
   
   "Andy, I worn out, I don't know how much strength I have left. I might not even get in a punch.."
   
   "You have to try.. What if he decided to come after us tonight? If he showed up right now?" He closed the space between you & placed a gentle, loving hand on your cheek. "You'd have to fight, you'd have no choice." He was right. He gave you a small kiss before turning around & walking a few feet away from you. "Just imagine I'm him." He called, turning back to you. You sighed once again, nodded, & took a deep breath. Then took your place & tried think of something that would make you mad, get adrenaline pumping through your veins. The thought of your hooded mystery man wasn't enough. It frightened you, but you needed to get pissed. You needed something else, but what? What could make your blood boil? What could make you want to kick some ass, even though you were exhausted? You went over the dream again in your head & tried to remember something your cloak clad attacker said or did that would piss you off enough to forget about your wary body & give you enough strength to beat Andy just once. Then you heard it, his deep voice, echoing through your mind.

"They don't belong here, walking the earth with the rest of us.. Like they're human too. They're not human, they're demons. Beasts, murderers. They don't belong here, they belong in Hell, & that's exactly where I'm going to send them. With your help, of course.."
A deep growl rumbled in the back of your throat & slipped through your lips. Just the thought of anyone laying a hand on Andy, or the rest of the boys (& the girls too), did far more then just piss you off. It made you want to kill somebody. Gritting your teeth & digging your nails into your palms, you hunched over slightly. Like a wolf would before attacking. You were no longer tired, you no longer felt the throbbing pain in your muscles, you were ready. Ready to kick some major ass. Andy smirked, noticing your sudden change & readied himself.
"Ready?" He asked, his smirk stretching into a smile that made your knees weak (which wasn't exactly a good thing in this sort of situation) as you nodded your head furiously. "Good."
You gathered up all the strength you could muster & prepared yourself. In the blink of an eye, he was infront of you. He went to 'punch' you (he didn't actually hit you, he made you hit him because he wanted to test your strength, but he only pretended to hit you) but you threw your left arm up & blocked it, while throwing your right out in an attempt to clock him. He caught your wrist before you could even touch him though, then grabbed your left with his other hand & spun you around so your back was facing him, & your arms were pulled tight across your chest in the same fashion a corpse's would be in a casket.

"Oh come on, you can do better than this. You're not even trying." He purred in your ear, trying to anger you even further. It worked. A chill snaked up your spine as his velvety voice rang in your ears & you shivered, but only briefly before growling & swinging your leg back. Kicking him right in the groin. He hissed & his grip loosened a bit, just enough for you to spin out of you own arms. He still held onto your wrists though, but that was fine, it allowed you to yank him to you so you could kick him in the gut. Hard enough to send him flying backwards, crumpled to the ground like a marionette & rolled a ways. He wasn't down for long though, being what he was, it would take alot more than a kick to actually harm him. He was up again in no time, but he was fighting to catch his breath. You must have knocked the wind out of him.

"Better, but it's still not what I know you're capable of. Try harder." Before you could even bat an eye, he was in front of you again, his hand wrapped tightly (but not too tightly) around your neck. "Now, what did I teach you?" He asked, referring to the lesson he taught you on how to get out of being strangled. You grabbed onto his shoulders & used them to push yourself up so you could kick him in the kneecaps, causing his knees to hyperextend & causing him to drop to the ground. You wrenched his hand away from your throat, digging your sharp nails into his wrist as you did.
"Good." He praised you through clenched teeth. "Now what do you do?" You kicked upward but only tapped the bottom of his chin with the toe of your boot (you couldn't bring yourself to actually kick him in the face). He snapped his head back, as if he had actually been kicked, but grabbed you by the ankle before you could bring your leg back down. He twisted it & tugged on it sharply, causing you to spin around & fall onto your stomache (well, more like face). Thank god you were out in a clearing in the middle of some wood so you only got a face full of grass rather than dirt or gravel.
*Remind me to thank Andy later..* You thought, enternally rolling your eyes.

"Is that the best you got?" He chuckled darkly, angering you even further. He knew just how to push your buttons, which was a good thing when you were training. You were at your best when you were pissed & he knew it. "Are you even trying?"
"Yes. I just can't actually hit you." You hissed as you flipped onto your back.
"Well get over it, cause you have to. You can't hurt me too badly dear, need I remind you, I'm an In-"
"Incubus, I know." You finished his setence for him.
"Exactly." He smirked, crawling over until he was hoving over you. His strong hands pinning your arms to your sides. "& Being an Incubus, even if you do hurt me. All I need is a little blood, or something else.." He licked his lips, causing your breath to hitch & your whole body to shudder violently. "& I'll be just fine."
"Yeah, yeah. Ok, now could you please get back to the fight? You're distracting me." You begged, trying to get angry again, but to no avail. He laughed & nodded.
"Ok, sorry."
"It's ok." You smirk as you bring your knee up into his stomache. He groaned & you wasted no time slipping your arms out of his iron grip & flipping him onto his back. You stradled his waist, pulled the dagger he had given you out of your boot, & held it directly over his heart.
"I win." You smiled triumphantly.
"Good girl." He purred once he could breathe properly again, then pulled you into a kiss.
"Can we go home now? I'm exhausted." You asked, collapsing onto his chest & slipping the knife back into your boot.
"Yes, you did a good job, you deserve some sleep." He stood up, taking you with him before teleporting you both to your own bedroom.
"Some?" You asked raising an eyebrow as if to say 'you're joking, right?' as you shuffled towards your bathroom. He just chuckled & shook his head.
You walked in & started stripping off your sweat soaked clothing & your boots.
"What are you doing?" Andy asked, walking up behind you & snaking his arms around your waist.
"Taking a shower, I'm NOT going to sleep like this." You explained, picking the dagger up off of the floor & placing it on the counter. "Care to join?" You asked as you turned on the water. He nodded & started tearing off his pants & shoes. You just giggled amused by his excitement.

This same thing went on for a couple months. The boys tour had ended, which meant more time with Andy, atleast until their next tour (Warped Tour). It also meant more training.. Lots more training, you were getting stronger & you were becoming a better fighter day by day though. Which you were pleased about, Andy on the other hand was starting to wonder why you were even training anymore. You hadn't gotten any calls from your mystery man since the night Andy told him off. You hadn't gotten anymore strange dreams either & Andy was starting to doubt you had anything to worry about anymore & that worried you. Since you, on the other hand, was still scared shitless. It wasn't over yet, whatever 'it' was, & you knew it. He was still around, you could feel it. You could feel him. He definitely wasn't gone, he was just waiting. Waiting for what? You hadn't the slightest idea, but something was going to happen. You didn't know what, you didn't know when, but something was definitely underfoot. & You were scared.
