“I’m good with being the brains of the operation.” Sam stopped by the door, putting his keycard in front of the sensor before it opened. They were led into a room that had a large door leading to the arena that they’d be fighting in. It was the same one they used for all combat tests and training.<br/><br/>“The test shouldn’t be too hard. Kill the creature in a timely manner while working with your demon and you should good.” He flashed his keycard again, the large doors sliding open. Shula was the first to step into the arena. She was happy to be out of the same room as Sam- the man infuriated her to no end. She briefly thought about which person she hated more; Sam or Faelan. She was surprised when she couldn’t come to a conclusive decision.<br/><br/>When the bonded pair stepped into the arena the opposite doors began opening. She could feel the anticipation but it wasn’t derived from fear, no, it was because of excitement. Shula realized the feeling was stemming from Faelan. It didn’t sit well with her, the fact he received so much anticipation and excitement from going in to kill. Shula could understand the anticipation of a hunt, but she had never experienced such a feeling as this.<br/><br/>The longer she spent with Faelan the more invaded she felt. Even his own exhilaration was affecting her- almost as if she were feeling it herself. It almost made her afraid to be bonded to this man. She took a breath, looking towards the enemy that walked through the door.
