To be honest I don't know why I decided to go along with this I mean I have to train, come on. "Lela get your head out of the clouds", Melanie said in an authoritative voice, "You need to be prepared for anything". "Easy for you to say", I said between breaths, "You're a vampire and you've been doing this since you were a little girl". I tried to hit her but I just wasn't fast enough. I finally got a lucky swing and got on her side. Unfortunately she grabbed the stick and used it to pin me to the wall. "We still have a long way to go before you're ready for battle", she said looking at me like a yet to be groomed(by her) plant. "Enough with combat time to work on your powers", she said after sizing me up, "How many do you know about? ".  "I've got electric manipulation but that's all I know about", I told her. "You told me that you talked to Hecate without her formerly asking you to speak", I nodded then she continued,"You could have either telepathy or the ability to connect through empathy". I looked at her, Where has my friend gone too and why did she leave this pain in the butt in her  place. "Ok let's try to summon your electric manager pulation",  she said. I wish I knew how.  "Actually I don't know if I can I.......What is that", I screamed as a huge thing landed in the garden. "Get to the basement and wait for me I'm going to look for my dad", she said to me, "You're probably not going but if you foolishly stay then help me hold it of". I was doing stupid things more often than I like these days. For a second as I saw Melanie fighting I saw a spark of the personality that made me her friend in the first place. Oh Melanie I need the real you not a teacher version of you. That was when a person dismounted the thing we were thrashing and saidvsomething that made us stop fighting as soon as the words escaped his lips.
