The air felt thick around me, heavy on my chest. That's when I realized it wasn't just thick, I was gasping. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAzOqHFIjgtj
My breaths were ragged as my eyes shot open and I wrap my hands around my throat, trying to use my own powers to push the air back into my lungs.
"I've been practicing!" My little sister is standing over my bed, her face screams excitement.
I on the other hand, did not like the wake up call. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAYIRTGUmqvd
"Haven't you ever heard of knocking? Or, ya know, not waking someone up to the thought of death." I raise my eyebrow and her face falls, making her deep brown hair slide forwards against her cheeks.155Please respect copyright.PENANAWkplOI0ibz
"But, I have to say I'm impressed." Her eyes lit up like a thousand stars, the smile on her face couldn't be knocked off for anything. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAixiJzokIul
"Really!? You really mean it!?" She squeals happily, then slaps her hand over her mouth. 155Please respect copyright.PENANApkDSNcLUFf
"Girls! What are you doing in there!" Our mother shouts, her tone tells me that she probably already knows.155Please respect copyright.PENANAOWA4qndxVr
We glance at each other then at the door. I hop up quickly and push it open for Julie to step out into the living room/kitchen. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAsrh9T5YCHN
"I was just showing Raven what book I've been reading." My mother gave her a pointed look, eye brow raised. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAWA8CXWIhHW
"Oh really, where's the book then?" Julie's mouth dropped open, ready for any type of excuse to pour out but none did. Mom won that round.155Please respect copyright.PENANAnY3aIbm9m7
“Anyways, I wanted to tell you girls that the royal family is coming to town. The Royal Array is tomorrow and you two need to keep your heads down, understand?" We both nod in sync.155Please respect copyright.PENANAwhrvClp9MO
The Royal Array is an event held every year for The Royal family's entertainment. Commoners such as myself are forced to go and anyone can get picked. If you're unlucky enough to get picked, you go against someone else they choose.155Please respect copyright.PENANA1NEJUGkiG7
A fight to the death. 155Please respect copyright.PENANACB1BU5RqVm
Whoever wins goes on to the next round, and if they win against 3 commoners they go against a royal guard. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAN7Wr9mmN9B
The commoner never comes out alive. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAkOrrJvdxql
"Why do we even have that stupid thing?" Julie spits out, her face coiled up. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAfNHBXnG5RQ
"Hush it right now, you never know who's listening." My mother snapped, her eyes wondering towards the door.155Please respect copyright.PENANAkid2UwKcv9
She sat breakfast down in front of us, the stale pieces of toast looked less and less appealing each day. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAEKTU15jmxZ
A knock sounded at the door. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAQlTRzlOdT4
"Stay here." Mother gives a pointed look and we oblige, taking bites out of our toast. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAGk2qKOM17a
The door creaks open as my mother peaks her head out. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAWY5iRzXcwo
“The Royal family will be in the town square in five minutes, every commoner is to be expected. The punishment for absence is death, see you all soon." The guard's stern voice sent chills down my spine, I hated the fact that they were superior. 155Please respect copyright.PENANACbaCz1tz4J
My mother shut the door and turned to us, eyes wide. "Well you heard him, up! We only have five minutes to look presentable and be in the town square!" She shoos us into our rooms to get dressed and ready. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAnJFSGBWG33
_____________________________________________
"I'm happy to announce this year's first commoners into The Royal Array." The announcer turns. "Royals, choose your lucky contestants."
I merely roll my eyes, lucky? No one would be lucky enough to get chosen. 155Please respect copyright.PENANARaOxBu3k6I
The Prince and Princess stand tall, backs straight, their look never faltering while their parents choose people to be killed. Their chocolate brown hair identical to the Queens. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAcsAqPg5EtC
The arena was blocked off by guards, the center is just dirt with cement steps going in one big circle around it. Almost like we are suppose to cheer on and be happy about this. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAwqSNGsH9di
"You." The King points to a skinny man two rows down from me. He continues searching. I don't have time to divert my eyes as his cold, dark ones clash with mine.155Please respect copyright.PENANAeQwED1wqRj
"And you." Before I realize it, his bony finger is pointing at me and I hear my mother jump up screaming.155Please respect copyright.PENANAgAIbw2lSdd
"No! Please no!" My heart beats against my chest. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAM12NFxWM2Q
"I suggest you sit down and shut up." The King's threatening voice sent chills down my spine. She did as she was told, silent tears fell on her cheeks. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAuI9dzLSFai
"It's okay, I'll be okay mom." My soothing words were nothing like what was going on in my head. She shook her head and titled it downward, making herself look away from what is possibly going to be my last fight.155Please respect copyright.PENANAGBsGRcYzTK
I knew I was going to die. 155Please respect copyright.PENANA2zIX28QZp8
This was it. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAY2hQbsWye5
The scrawny man stood at the opposite side of me in the arena, his hands were trembling. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAH0zFORw7DH
"Fight." The king demanded.155Please respect copyright.PENANAGGr9Qmm5u5
The scrawny man slung his hands out, engulfing his fists with fire. I stood in shock, never judge a book by its cover I suppose. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAu3ITJI6wX7
He threw his fist out into the air, creating a fireball that curved right towards me. I quickly jumped out of the way. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAkvY6tRsNk8
"Fight back!" The king yelled. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAEvgSK5IlZk
My hands flung up in fear as another round of flames shot towards me, shooting a blast of water against the red mass. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAwthZ0OVXYN
"Oh! A fight of water against fire! This hasn't been seen in years!" The announcer called out. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAXm2aqEdmRD
The man rushed up to me, tackling me into the ground. He wrapped his hands around my throat, instantly I felt the heat coming from his hands. He was going for the kill. 155Please respect copyright.PENANATEDTzM1xcL
I gasp as his hands got hotter and hotter.155Please respect copyright.PENANA46VMFZY74B
Flashbacks of this morning ran trough my head. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAjlOMY9Ulht
"I've been practicing!" Julie shouted in the back of my mind. 155Please respect copyright.PENANARli2bOx5qM
I look towards the seats where my family sat, Julie was on her feet screaming for me to get up. My mother sat there with tears streaming down her face. 155Please respect copyright.PENANADove4mmYjr
Julie was jumping up and down, slinging her hands in the air trying to get me to move. To do something.155Please respect copyright.PENANASkDxzZGpWN
I can't let them down. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAMPzBOSUyHq
I focus my mind on the mans chest, ignoring the pain of his hands. 155Please respect copyright.PENANABi5beFPG5o
"Come on!" I croaked out, I feel tingles burst inside my mind as I begin to extract the air from his lungs. 155Please respect copyright.PENANA063Y2LAtTM
He seems to notice the lack of oxygen causing him to let go and stumble back onto the ground, I slowly stand up and walk towards his withering body. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAbFk9RsC9F2
"I'm sorry." Is the last thing that leaves my lips as I rip the last bit of air from him. He drops to the ground and I feel the King's eyes on me, for the simple fact that I just used two different elements on command. Everyone is gifted one, only Furies get multiple and are usually utilized for their powers. 155Please respect copyright.PENANArCMrGDVpBe
"How did you do that, little one?" He asked over the speaker, I seen him standing with his eyebrows furrowed and I glanced once more at my sister. Her head shook 'no' slightly, careful not to be seen. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAwMGMwcI3A7
"I drowned him from the inside out. Water is my element, Your Majesty." I said and he stood there for a second before nodding and waving his hand towards the Princess.155Please respect copyright.PENANABC77rHWEVF
"Choose a person dear." The Princess smiles and bowed her head slightly before stepping forwards. Letting her eyes wonder across the arena for another opponent. My stomach was in knots as I followed her eyes. 155Please respect copyright.PENANATsE4o7kZJU
"Her." She pointed towards the area where my family has been sitting, and following her finger I finally realized exactly who she was pointing at.155Please respect copyright.PENANAcH7EaePtu2
Brown hair and bright green eyed Julie. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAMoGMdIoQUx
