A kick connected with Rodrick’s ribs and the force of it sent him flying into a nearby tree where a loud thudding noise emanated as his back hit the trunk hard enough to knock the wind out of his lungs.
“Do not go easy on me brother! A hunter never would, so neither should you. It's disrespectful and stupid to fight half-hearted, so stop holding back!” his brother said with half a growl. Of course, Rodrick already knew the man felt horrible for hitting Rodrick so hard, he always did. But tough love was Eric’s way and he would hide his pain from Rodrick if it was for his well being.
Also, this was what Eric understood as sparring. In his everlasting quest to keep Rodrick alive Eric sometimes took things slightly far, but it was for their survival so Rodrick put up with the occasional sparring session from hell. Besides Rodrick wasn’t weak, there were times where he actually won against his Viking of a brother, it wasn’t too often but still, it happened.
As he quickly stood up again, still smelling the moss covering the ground and the damp smell of the forest. His brother sighed and shook his head “let's just call it a day.”
Rodrick sighed in relief just as his phone let him know he had a text message. Smiling a half smile he took his phone and looked at his brother “well I am off anyway, Nick says there is a new vamp in town” he said with a smile his brother knew too well so Eric gave him a look of warning “don’t cause trouble again and grab a blood bag before you go so you won't attack someone out of hunger”
Rodrick chuckled before rolling his eyes “seriously? Okay mother I will be a good boy” he said before using his speed to get to their house, get ready and go to the mall to meet with Nick. It was a short run for one of his kind so it didn’t take him long before he arrived at Nicks table and greeted the other male.
