The house of madness

Chapter fifteen: Training with Daniel.

Hailey and Brutus followed the guard down the hall until Marvelo caught up and he took the lead. Marvelo led them to the training room which was full of areas where you could train to do various things. Sword fighting, shooting, camouflaging(whatever that was for) ,and more. Marvelo led them to a man with brown hair and mischievous green eyes the color of pickles had swords strapped to his back. “This is Daniel. Daniel..don’t try anything.” Marvelo instructed. He walked off. Hailey looked at Daniel. “Hi.” She said shyly. Daniel flashed a grin. “Hi there! As you know I am your instructor so let me introduce you to everyone!” Daniel exclaimed. “This is Camille, she can fly and is really great at chess but I beat her at it..” Jaron said, motioning to a woman with auburn hair and blue eyes, had black mascara around her eyes and had large black feathery wings sprouting from her back. Camille rolled her eyes at him. “You we’re down to three pieces. I almost won!” Camille said. Daniel scoffed. “Yeah right. This is Willow. She can phase through stuff. You should probably stay away from her, she’s not real nice..” Daniel said motioning to a woman with long black curls and green eyes and had a stern face. “That is Jaron. He can create objects out of thin air, basically warp reality as we know it. I think he’s your brother right?” Daniel said pointing to Jaron. Hailey nodded. “And last and least…Marvelo. (Marvelo scowled at Daniel) He is our “awesome” team leader. His power is telekinesis so he can move objects with his mind (Daniel wiggled his fingers in Hailey’s face)and he is great with pistols…not as good as me of course.” Daniel said, fingering his pistols that hung from his belt. “You seem like you’re great at everything.” Hailey said. “I am.” Daniel replied proudly. “Yeah…that’s what he thinks. He’s not.” Brutus said. Daniel eyes the hyenadon. “Ah Brucie my old friend!” Daniel exclaimed sarcastically. “Y’all know each other?” Hailey asked. “Yep. We went on a mission together.” Daniel said. “It was fun. We did a competition of whoever took out the most soldiers won. I won.” Brutus said. Daniel scoffed and glared at Brutus. “You did NOT! You cheated! You were taking soldiers out with your giant tail!” Brutus shrugged. “Hey, it’s not my fault you don’t have a tail. You snooze you lose.” Brutus said sneering. Daniel scoffed again. “Like I would want a tail.” Hailey got in between them. “Please stop fighting. I though we were going to do training.” Hailey said quietly. “Yes, yes of course. I was just about to end Brucie’s fight before he got hurt.” Daniel said. Brutus growled at Daniel. “Watch your tongue mister!”

“What are those?” Hailey asked pointing to large creatures that looked like wolves but had a sabertooth’s flat ears, stripes and long teeth. “Oh those are Saber wolves. Their for are missions sometimes but their basically wild.” Daniel said. “Oh.” Hailey said. “So what are you good at?” Daniel asked Hailey. Hailey shrugged. “I don’t really have anything I’m that good at.” She said meekly. Daniel grinned. “No worries. I’ll teach you some stuff! Starting with….shooting!” Daniel led her over to the archery which was for guns and bows. He gave her a loaded pistol and took another for himself. He flashed his shiny teeth at her. “Ready?”

After a while of shooting. Which took a while for Hailey to master Daniel sent her over to the sword section saying he would catch up. Hailey who was walking backward watching Daniel accidentally bumped into someone. “Hey!” The person exclaimed angrily.
