"Again" Evette landed on her back, she was sparring with Ciara.
Standing off she waved her hands summoning two fire whips on both of her hands before charging towards Ciara.
She jumped raising the whip on her right hand, lashing it down on Ciara,she landed on one knee and looked at Ciara to see if it had done damage, just as the smoke was clearing,a stream of water was shot speedily towards her,she didn't have time to react and was shoved back hitting the wall before sliding down.
She stood up her eyes blazing with pure determination,taken a few pants,she ran towards Ciara avoiding all the water stream shots directed towards her,finally getting near Ciara.
She took a deep breath and breath out a big ball of fire knocking Ciara off as she didn't have time to dodge it, knowing it had worked she launched another attack as she blasted a flame ball toward Ciara but it seemed futile as Ciara used the water to extinguish the fire.
Without wasting time,Evette kept on punching and kicking balls of flame which continued to explode as it landed near Ciara.
Ciara stood at her place as she raised her moved her hands using the water to create streams of water as she targeted Evette wrist and legs, bringing her hands slowly she shot the stream of water pinning Evette to the wall,just as Evette was about to move she froze the water,turning it solid. Evette was now pinned by ice to the wall.
"That's awesome, y'know Evette you're a tough opponent"Ciara smiled at Evette.
"That was horrible,I have to get stronger if I don't want to get my butt kicked in tournament"Evette left the room carrying a towel.
Ciara looked as Evette left the room, she felt somewhat sad,she knew Evette had potential,she was just yet to find out. Carrying a towel for herself she left the room
She removed her sweaty clothes, showered and changed into Nike black and white Jacket and black ripped jeans with white shoes she zipped up the jacket and walked out
"Evie I'm going to get us groceries,you'll get stronger I know you will"
"Okay" Evette replied from the top stairs.
"There's no way I'm going to stay here while my mastery of my ability is going down the drain, I'm going to master it whether I like it or not."These words were repeated in Evette's head as she got into her stance.
One by one,she would throw fire punches,kicks,breaths but it wasn't making as much damage as it should have.
"Where am I going wrong?"she looked at my hands,"I loved the way Cia used her ability, she uses it with a calm demeanor"She stopped to think when realization hit her.
"What is the fuel of fire manipulation" she asked herself.
"Anger"a voice in her head told her
"No, Breath" another voice scolded the first voice.
"Breath" Evette took a deep breath and this time in a relaxed manner she closed her eyes as she was determined to use her fire,she opened her eyes and stretching out her right hand she threw a gigantic fire ball that produced an overwhelming amount of heat.
"I did it" She looked at her right hand,"I really did it" Knowing she had unlocked the secret to manipulating fire,she began throwing punches and kicks that were ten times her original ones.
*************
"Mom,I don't need a marriage" I looked at my mother.
"Nonsense Kyle,you have to get married and what other way than marrying the daughter of the marquis"her reply showed that she didn't budge.
"In a year's time,if you can't find someone to marry,I'm sorry you'd have to marry Liana, we're having dinner with the marquis family this Saturday night"he heard the door slam shut.
"Uhh"he groaned. He didn't want a forced marriage,what was the point of marrying,if you don't love the person you're meant to spend your remaining life with.
Retiring to his room,he lay on the bed staring at the stars through his window before he finally closed his eyes allowing sleep to carry him.
