Week 18: Monday
Who:  Ana and Xander
What:  Twin switcheroo for a beat down
Where:  Blades - Swords class

Well, Xander had certainly seemed interesting in the journals.  And from what Ava had told her, he was interesting all around.  Especially, where it counted.  Hehe.  But none of that would get him out of the beat down she had promised.  She had no skill with a blade, and since he was already in the class, she could only assume he had more skill.  But that was fine.  She could still try, and that was the whole point.  While she enjoyed succeeding, it was all the thrill in getting there.  Hell, she was no grand street racer, but she still did it, and enjoyed it.  She had enough money that it was no real loss when she did lose.

In any case, she and Ana had worn matching outfits for today, not that anyone had usually noticed whenever they'd pulled switcheroos in outfits not even remotely resembling the other.  So, it was a bit geektastic that they matched on the first day.  People would get over it.  Besides, didn't guys lust over having twins in bed?  Ew.  As if she'd sleep with her sister.  That was just wrong.

Soon as class started, Ana listened for roll call.  Luckily, having a new student, the instructor did a roll call, and Ana noticed the face that matched the name.  Oh, and it was such a pretty face.  When they were told to split up for practice, Ana made her way over to Xander.  "Well, well - you wouldn't mind giving an old friend a warm welcome, would you?" she nearly pouted, giving him a blatant once over.  "I do need a partner, after all."

She was definitely lucky in one regard. Now that Xander knew they were twins, he more than remembered those times he had known twins back in LA, and how often they liked to play these switching games. It had gotten him in trouble a few times, and gotten them in trouble others. But there was one thing in all of this that the demon wasn’t expecting. Them to actually pull the switch in class, so it was one aspect of the game he wasn’t expecting them to do.

When she did arrive in class, he recognized her fairly quickly, but he remained in his spot. One didn’t mess around in a class where the instructor was expected to give you a whack now and again. No reason to give him a reason to do such a thing after all, right? So, instead, he just busied himself with remembering those contours she had, and her looks. Things were a little different now, after all, than they had been before.

When she came over, he couldn’t help but chuckle. And even perhaps pose a little for that blatant once over. It was how he was, after all. But he merely bowed his head a little. “Long as that warm welcome doesn’t’ involve stabbing me with a sword.” He said as he grinned. But he would take those last steps over to give the girl a nice warm hug, his hands wandering just a tad. “Still lookin’ hot, babe. Of course, you’re gonna be hot forever now, aren’t ya?” He tilted his head as he stepped back.

Ana grinned mischievously at the suggestion she'd stab him with the sword. She wouldn't stab him - just beat him with the flat side of the blade a bit. But not for a first hug. Returning the hug, her grin only widened at his wandering hands. Well, wasn't he the little devil? "Why thank you. And yes, that was part of the point," she smiled, displaying pointy little fangs. Ooo, and she was holding a pointy sword. Ok, enough with the pointy.

"And you are as devilish as ever," she observed. "So, care to catch me up in this class? My sire couldn't have timed things so I'd start at the beginning of the semester, now could he have?" While she might have had many reasons to thank Saul for what he'd done, Ana couldn't resist complaining a bit. After all, he got something in return, didn't he? Two beautiful young women rather dedicated to him. Perhaps she didn't realize quite how much they were bound to him, but she knew he didn't turn them out of purely selfless reasons. And that gave her permission to complain about his 'gift' to her and her sister.

Taking the best stance she could muster, Ana prepared for a smackdown. Most likely her own. Her stance was modeled after what she'd seen on TV - and she was only mimicking a mimic. Even so, she did look rather pretty and a bit daring, she'd like to imagine.

“Well, that’s good.” Xander said with a grin. “Beautiful women should stay beautiful in my opinion. None of this aging in a couple of decades crap like the poor mortals do.” He winked at her even as he picked up his own practice sword and worked his fingers around the hilt. “I’m afraid I won’t look this good forever, though. Only a couple of millennia.” Which would be long enough for most people, right? Not that he was telling the truth, demons were immortal after all.

“Demonish as ever! Devils are a whole other breed.” Xander said with a grin and a shake of his head. “And you didn’t miss much, only a couple of weeks. Been mainly about stances and how to hold the blade and all that fun stuff.” All things that he would show her. Not that he was much of an expert himself, as he only took the class for fun and not much else.

“Should feel lucky that your sire even bothered to send you here. Most of the vampires here seemed to have been ditched by theirs, or they were killed somewhere somehow and all that rut.” Of course, as he said that he would lunge forward, bringing the flat of his blade in a wide arc that would be telegraphed for anyone with any talent, as he aimed the flat of the blade at her hip.

"Mmm, none of the romantic lamentation of old poets toward the fleetingness of mortal beauty? Perhaps I'm missing out. Ah, to inspire a poet," she teased. "A couple of millennia? Well, perhaps we can stay friends after all," she winked. A pretty face to entertain herself with for a while? Definitely a good thing.

Laughing, the brunette bowed her head slightly. "I do apologize. My bad. Still new to all this, and it is the first day of classes."

"Mmm. I can complain. He gets as much out of it as we do. Truth be told? I think we were a bit much for him to handle." Was that arrogance? Why, yes it was. Leave it to the young to be smug about what very little power they did have. Certainly, she and Ava were a handful. But if Saul had truly wanted, he could have forced them to be manageable. She should have been thankful that he didn't, but she didn't even think of that.

Ana did not expect the strike, and instead of using the sword, as she should have, she caught the blade in her hand. Ouch! Thank goodness it wasn't sharp - it just stung. From across the practice area, the instructor shouted at her to use her sword because if it were a real blade, blah blah blah.

"Yeah, yeah," she muttered. Of course she knew to use the sword. It was just instinct - and good vampire reflexes. Shaking the sting out of her hand, Ana couldn't help but wonder if parts grew back - she knew she healed way better than a human. Would be a shame to be a one-handed beauty for the rest of her unlife. "Alright, that was mean. You best be ready," she joked, taking her 'stance' again. She was determined this time.

Well, truth be told, it wasn’t her hand that he had been aiming for. He was, after all, a bad boy, and figured a slap on the ass would be such a nice thing to watch. Especially with such a nice one. But when she caught it, and the instructor started growling at her, he just grinned and winked. “Awww… where would you get that? Demon? Mean? Nawwww…” he said with a grin, before he took a step back and readied himself again.

“And no, none of the lamenation or whatever the hell you just said. I prefer to corrupt and destroy things myself, thanks. Letting time do it just feels like cheating all the time, and that’s just not quite as much fun.” Xander wrinkled his nose at her, but then that grin returned. “Oh, not like most mortals can tell the difference. And you’re new enough to count..” he teased.

“Too much of a handful, huh?” he asked as he looked her over. This time, just as blantently as her first time as well. “Oh, I think I could handle the two of you just fine. You were rather tasty as a mortal.. I wonder what the change would have done to you…” It really would be the first time for him to compare such a thing. But, even as he was contemplating that, he took a step forward and lunged his wooden blade at her stomach, fully intent upon jabbing her in the gut.

A slap on the ass wouldn't be a problem. A slap on the ass with a fake sword would have irked her, however. Amused at his reply, she allowed a grin to break her business-like expression. Hey, it was game time and she totally had a game face.

"Well, you really can't corrupt me since I'm not pure, and I'd rather not be destroyed, thanks. But I'm sure we can have all sorts of other demonic fun." Rolling her eyes, Ana clarified, "I'm not mortal now." She even made a bit of a face. Quick to abandon what she'd been born as - why yes.

Cocking an eyebrow, the brunette was curious to know exactly what he meant. She knew Ava was a juicebox to the vamps, but demons? What exactly did he eat? His words had distracted her enough that she didn't expect his attack, and the deflective move she made was totally wasted. She did, however, jump back enough that the jab was not as hard as it could have been. With a slight, 'oomph', Ana immediately made a counterattack, slashing rather forcefully at his arm holding the sword.

But while it would have irked her, it would have greatly amused the young demon in front of her. Even if it only got him slapped in the end, sometimes just the very act of earning that particular slap made the day’s events more than worth it. He only grinned back at her.

“Oh, if you think that, then you’re just prime for corruption.” The demon said with a laugh and a shrug of his shoulders. “Just because you’ve fucked some guy, doesn’t mean you’re not some good girl. Even if I’m sure the vampires made sure to ruin as much innocence as they could. They seem good for that.” Her reaction about no longer being a mortal only made that grin that much wider. It gave him one tool to use against her if he needed, after all.

He wasn’t going to make life easy for her by just outright telling her. After all, he didn’t tend to tell the people who knew he was feeding from them he didn’t need to have sex with them to drain them. He wouldn’t tell it outright to someone he had never been with.

When the blade landed, he gave the young woman another smug grin, as if congratulating himself for another hit, but it was short lived. As her blade came back, he tried to scramble back and put his own sword up, but it was a wasted exercise as well. His reflexes were, after all, barely better than a mortals and didn’t compare much to a vampires, and there was going to be a nasty bruise on his arm before the class was done.

Cocking her eyebrow again, Ana's expression read, 'Oh, really?' Because really, the last thing she was, was a good girl. "Please, my innocence was ruined long before that. No parents to watch over poor, little, innocent me. Only my sister. And really, I'm the older twin. Too bad for her." Truthfully, Ana only used the argument because she knew it could benefit her. Never would she have imagined Ava to actually think those things - even if she would have used the argument to benefit herself, as well.

When her blade landed, it was the young woman's turn to smile. Of course she was proud of herself. Although, really, she hadn't meant to hit him that hard. "Um, you might want to get some ice for that. Sorry," she said with a shrug. The pleased look on her face kind of undermined her apology, though.

He rubbed his arm for a moment before he just smirked at her. It would heal, he knew, but more than that, if he hadn’t expected his fair share of bumps and bruises he would’ve signed up for an easier class. He had taken worse lumps surfing, and that never stopped him for a moment. “You know..” he said with a smirk as he shook his arm out a little. “You’re not supposed to say that grinning like that.”

Her other words only amused him. A young former mortal telling a demon from hell about lost innocence. If only she understood that part. But then, she was new enough that she might not he wasn’t born in the world she knew. “Oh yeah, the other twin.” He said with a grin. “She as hot as you are?” It was a stupid question, of course, but hey, he was enjoying just the thought. And, in the sparkle of mischief in his eyes, the thoughts in his mind would be about as open as they would if she was a telepath.

The young vampire did feel a slight twinge of guilt about the bruise on his arm. However, she felt more than a slight twinge of pride about the whole situation, so her grin only widened at his words.

No, she didn't know he wasn't born on Earth. Had she known, she'd have been more than a little curious to know what Hell was like. She'd been into many dangerous places on Earth, but none could hold a candle to the danger of Hell, certainly. Oh, well, as if she could resist that opening. "Hotter," she grinned impishly. Hey, Ava would have done the same thing. If she didn't Ana would have been shocked. Still grinning, she continued. "We don't do threesomes. Together, I mean. If that's what you're wondering." As if she hadn't heard it a hundred times before. It was just weird to think of her sister like that.

Her pride wouldn’t be quite as good about it, if she really knew the truth. That Xander had been using and training with the blades for a whole couple of weeks longer than she had. Even less if she had any training outside of the school. He just picked it because surfing wasn’t a class and there wasn’t any other real physical classes he took a liking too.

“Isn’t that a trick question?: Xander said with a smirk as he tilted his head slightly. “Given that you two are identical…” He winked once at her as he took a step back and let the wooden blade rest on his shoulder for a moment. “And funny, that your first thought goes to a threesome..” he said with a wink. “How about side by side?” he asked as he tilted his head slightly. “Love to take you both over and over..”

Even as he said that, Xander burst into motion. His blade would come down straight, and hard, though the motion would be easily deflected by anyone paying attention. Instead, the demon would keep moving, as he aimed to move past and behind her. One of his hands would shoot out in an attempt to smack her on the ass as he moved past her and spun around to face her again. And of course, he ignored the yelling that would be directed at him from the instructor for messing around in class.

"You asked a question; I gave an answer," she answered haughtily. Really, she was just kidding around, but she did tend to the arrogant to be honest. Amused at his forwardness, Ana only laughed at first. "Would you do a side by side with your brother if you had one?" Shaking her head, though, her interest was piqued. And she was a bit aroused at the thought of this particular demon having his way with her.

She didn't have much time to muse on that, however, as he burst forward. Her vampiric reflexes made it fairly easy to deflect the blow, and she yelped a bit at the unexpected smack on her ass. Laughing, and rubbing her ass, she shook her head. Low, she muttered, "Damn right you get yelled at." She stuck out her tongue playfully at him and contemplated her next move. Anything sudden and unexpected would be, well, expected at this point.

The yelling from the instructor only amused Xander as he tilted his head. He deserved it, of course, and was always willing to take the trouble he got himself into, but he had other plans for the moment. With the end of this particular sparring session, he shifted his sword in his hand and just tossed it toward Ava as he smiled at her. “You humans and your morality, it never made much sense to me.” He said as he tilted his head slightly.

“Would I do a side by side with a brother? I would likely do the same woman with my brother. You forget, I am not human. I have never been. I merely pretend to play by your rules. I know my father has watched me fucking some girl while I was visiting him in New York, and my mother is the one who taught me all the ways to make a woman scream in pleasure. We are Incubi and Succubus, Sex demons. I doubt there is much that you can think of or imagine that I have not done to a partner, or watched happen to someone in front of me.”

Well, as proud as she was of her immortality, Xander's words definitely surprised her. Made her think for a moment about if she was really so ready to throw away her mortality. Maybe she'd eventually outgrow her abhorrence of twincest. The thought made her shudder internally, but at the same time, she wondered really what it took to fully embrace her new life.

"Wow, that is totally a whole other level." Shrugging, she moved to walk by him so he was on her left side, as if she were putting the practice sword away. "Yeah, um, I don't know about morality, but kinda makes me wanna throw up a little in my mouth." She figured that disgusting description got across her feelings well enough. And for a parting shot, she stabbed under her left arm toward him, aiming to jab him in the ass a bit. A slap returned with a jab. Fair enough.

Not that Xander ever brought up the idea of twincest, or even mentioned it before she did. But her reaction really only seemed to amuse the demon a little more. “I’m sure. Humans, and the recently turned are like that. Still think about what society thinks is proper and not. Society that would just as soon destroy us both for simply existing.” He shrugged his shoulders at that.

The jab got a snort out of the demon, even as he half jumped forward from the impact. “Bad, vampire, bad.” He said with a smirk and a waggle of his finger toward her. “One might begin to think you’re getting friendly.” He then stuck his tongue out at her as he crossed his hands over his chest. “Now now, what would your sister think about you consorting with demons like that, huh?”

He had a point. Of course, perhaps Ana had a bit of a handle on what it meant to be supernatural by her arrogance - while they would certainly try to destroy them, they'd never succeed. They were above humans, and there was no way they could destroy them.

Laughing blatantly at the chiding, she shook her head at his comment. "So, that's what's friendly in Hell? I'll keep that in mind." Smirking at his question, she crossed her arms. "Let's see, before I was turned, I was my sire's personal juicebox, so, yeah, don't think she'll object to consorting with demon's. I mean, look at how well the juicebox gig turned out."

Ahh, the arrogance of the newly turned. That indestructible feeling that nothing else could stand up to them. If Xander knew just what she thought there, he would have been glad that he grew up in Hell, and was quickly disabused of such notions. No, the young demons in that dimension were quite aware of just how fragile they really were.

“Oh, I don’t know.. I like the sun too much to even consider the whole vampire thing.” He grinned quite widely at her as he shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t think I could live if I can’t be out on the beach on a surfboard as the sun rises. Surfing just ain’t the same in the dark.” Of course, he didn’t need to be turned to be immortal, thankfully he had that gift all on his own. And the .friendly comment seemed to just be ignored.

Well, it's not that Ana thought she was totally indestructible. She just figured no average human could take out the average supernatural. She had no doubt there were people bigger and badder than she out there. Much bigger and badder.

"Bah, lots of things are better at night," she teased. "But then, I was never a sun worshiper."

"Lots of things are better at night." Xander said as he inclined his head once toward her. "But, there are some things you just can't do at night. Sides, I like my tan far too much to ever give up the sun."

He winked at her once, before he took a step back, that grin of his looking her over one more time, before he crossed his arms over his chest. "Definitely going to need to meet your sister sometime. See if she's just as cute or as wild as I remember you being." Of course, being idential twins, the cute thing should've been obvious.
