Second Round (Bruce)

Sirius ran through the forest, feeling the scent of his professor in the air. He was getting closer. Much closer...he still felt the scars from their first training session. Bruce hadn't exactly gone easy on him. James even got worried about it. But Sirius made him relax. By telling him the truth of course. He couldn't just lie. Why should he anyway...as those thoughts continued going around his mind, he arrived at the clearing. But Bruce was nowhere to be seen...

Bruce stalked his prey, before hearing the forest tremble. Sirius was coming for his second lesson. Good. At least the kid was on time. As Bruce raced back to the clearing, he titled his head to his side. A stag glared at him, as Bruce stopped abruptly. The stag quickly disappeared, taking a mouse with him, as Bruce slowly started to move again. He appeared behind Sirius, and smirked. "Hey son..." he stated, stepping closer to him. He unsheathed two swords, sliding them into the floor. "Take one..."

Sirius looked back, startled for a second. He had gotten distracted, and Bruce had successfully snuck up on him. Perfect...another thing to work on. As he cast his gaze at the swords, he ripped one from the ground. Even during the night, IT shone extremely. Sirius swung it around a few times, before looking up at Bruce. "You gonna get me close to death again?" He asked, with a mocking tone.

"No..." Bruce said only, taking his SWORD off of the ground with a powerful pull, before pouncing on the boy. "Today, I'm actually gonna kill you..." he said, bringing the handle of the sword down, to hit the boy in the face. Of course he wasn't planning on killing Sirius. But Bruce was curious to see what he'd do when he was extremely close to death...

Sirius was about to speak, as the handle hit him in the forehead. His head swung back to the floor, as his vision became slightly blurry. He tried to shake it off, and push Bruce off of him, but the man weighted way too much for Sirius to even try to throw him of. As soon as he began to realize what was happening, he tried to pull his sword up...to no avail as well.

Bruce smirked at Sirius's failed attempts of getting him off of him. He couldn't really blame the boy. He knew he was a huge powerhouse. Something that usually helped a lot when it came to fighting. As he looked down at the boy, he pointed the tip of the sword at his shoulder, that was still nailed to the ground. Without thinking twice, he pushed the blade down, feeling sink into the ground as soon as he pushed it all the way in.

Sirius felt his blood flow out of the wound Bruce had made, and could still feel the blade inside his shoulder. It tore his bone apart, as he groaned with pain. He was able to open his eyes for a second, only to glare at Bruce. He couldn't even clench his jaw nor his fists. He felt as if his body simply couldn't react...

Bruce swiftly removed the blade from the boy's shoulder, and put on a dark grin as he got up. He wouldn't want to hear Sirius bitch about the wound. He wanted Sirius to fight back. Do something. Otherwise, Orion was making Bruce waste his time...

Sirius finally clenched his jaw, opening one of his eyes. Burying the sword into the ground, he pulled himself up, feeling his right arm numb. He glanced at his professor, as his heart beat quickened. He has Marvolo... He heard a voice in his mind. He has her...every day. He flinched several times, before ripping the sword from the ground. He ran towards the man, roaring as he swung his sword towards him.

Bruce quickly held his own blade in front of him vertically, as a loud clap was heard as the two blades met each other. "Finally, took you a while," he said, pushing him off, and assaulting the boy. Sirius tried to defend himself, but took several hits, feeling his blood drop from his body. He growled loudly, before clenching his jaw and just right out screaming. As he pushed his blade forwards, Bruce tried to dodge it, but Sirius jumped down, shoving the blade into his professor's thigh. "Ahh.." Bruce shrieked, being forced to sit down.

Sirius quickly took the blade off of him, and cut his cheek with a slash. He was ready to kill him right there and then...

Bruce felt the blood on his cheek, and nearly flew towards Sirius using one of his legs to get up. His sword went right through the boy's stomach, and Bruce let go of the handle, as Sirius was nailed to the floor. Bruce pushed the blade further in with his foot, as blood began to pour out of Sirius's mouth. As he slowly pulled the sword out of Sirius's body, he pulled the boy up, making him crash against the tree.

Bruce struggled to walk, as Sirius regained his breath for a short amount of time. They walked towards each other, and Sirius, breathlessly, swung his sword towards Bruce, as he did the same. Both swords cracked as they crashed against each other once more, before both men pushed them further against each other. Both broke, falling on the floor, as Sirius glanced at them.

Bruce, however, kept his eyes on Sirius, kicking him where his wound laid. Sirius bent over, coughing blood to the floor, before letting his dagger slide down his sleeve. Bruce stood over him, looking down with disgust, breathing deeply, before gasping. Sirius had pushed himself up once more, and his dagger dug into Bruce's flesh, right next to his neck. Bruce nearly fell on his knees, as Sirius fell backwards to the floor. Bruce ripped the dagger from his flesh, pointing it at Sirius. With a swift throw, the dagger flew in the air, before it landed on Sirius's hand, whom threw it back at Bruce. Bruce had turned his back on the boy, and the blade hit him right in the hip.

Bruce only had time to rip it apart, before hearing someone come. He threw the dagger at Sirius, as it landed right next to his ear. "Next training session...two weeks from now..." he said, before disappearing. Sirius started to blink much faster, and laid his head on the tree. His clothes were tarnished, and most of his skin was covered in red...

Belledona loved to walk in the darkness of the Forbidden forest. She was out to see the Centaurs and they spoke to her with anger in their eyes as they explained why their meeting must be postponed. The familiar smell of blood hit her nose. She heard a shriek and she frowns. The centaurs pointed her in the right direction and she sprinted towards it. She climbs a tree nearby and looks down, spotting her cousin, Sirius laying on the ground covered in red. She gasps and jumps down sprinting towards him. She laid his head on her lap and she looks over at his body. ''Siri...Sweetie...I'm gonna get ya help...'' She whispers and put the dagger that was next to his ear in a hidden sheath. She picked Sirius up and sighed. 

She runs to the hospital wing and shouts at the nurse. ''HELP HIM DAMNIT!'' She places him on the table and watches them set to work. She took his hand and growled whenever they tried to take her away from him. They stared at his body in shock and Belledona hissed in annoyance. ''Don't just stand there! Do something you fools!'' She brushes Sirius' hair out of his face and wipes the blood from his lips with a wet towel as the nurses waved their wands, casting healing spells. Belledona poured the potions that would help into his mouth stroking his cheek. ''You'll be okay...Promise cousin...'' She whispers as the nurses moved around her, helping Sirius as much as they can.
