Ever have to fight someone you've grown up with all your life? What if you were forced to so you can show off? What if you had a grinding headache on top of that? That's how I felt while I was battling Winter. We were fighting in the same ol' glass dome we've been fighting in since we were old enough to fight. Oh yeah, there's more like me than the two of us fighting. The only people that watch us fight are congress, some government politics, and on occasion, the president. Yep, we were that important. That's because we, as in, the other girls like me, we are special. For starters, I can read minds. Mind blower huh? I can also move things with my mind, and, brace yourself, sometimes I black out and start yelling out things that are going to happen in the future. I know, I'm awesome. I have brown hair with light brown low lights. I have gorgeous slightly tan skin, and brown eyes.

Winter, has pale skin with small freckles on her upper cheeks and nose. She, obviously, has an icy touch. She can't take hot temperatures and has this lovely black hair. She likes to freeze stuff or frost things over, like my hair. It's not fun, it gives you a brain freeze and disrupts my focus. We are both wearing impact suits that count how many hits we take, it's like wearing a wet suit and vest, whoever takes the most hits loses the match. We fight to show how our powers have grown and how we control them, at least that's what the scientists say.

I dodge to the left to avoid a shower of ice shards from Winter, but one lucky shot cuffed my shoulder and ripped the impact suit. Man, that was going to add to my score. An electric board showed the score, right now, Winter was winning by three points. I couldn't send her a headache telepathically because that wasn't really a physical attack, but I could send her one to distract her and send some debris at her. The fighting dome always has a theme, today's is tornado aftermath in the Rocky's. Weird huh? Well, they kinda ran out of theme ideas two years ago so they made stuff up. Anyway, I focused my mind on the molecules around me, I pictured them clumping together and forming a thick bubble around me. That can by me some time. Now, I ignored my headache, which was growing now since Winter was pounding on the force bubble. I levitated myself and set my thoughts on Winter's brain, I pulsed waves of agony to her and my headache started fading away. The pounding on the force bubble stopped and I saw Winter clutching her head and moaning. Suddenly, I released my focus on the bubble and turned it to a pile of rocks the size of my head. I hurled four at her and made her fall on the ground gasping for air after a direct hit at the stomach, and walked toward her. I held out my hand for her to take it, but she just blew frost in my face making my eyes squint. I looked at the score board again and saw that I won by six points, but there was still 1 minute left on the timer. Each match is around 15 minutes long. Winter moved faster than I could, she blew more frost in my eyes and I was blinded. I tried making another force bubble, but she frosted my hair all the way to the scalp. My spine stiffened at the cold, but I forced myself to roll away from Winter. My eyes finally cleared right before a chunk of ice as big as a grizzly slammed into me. A loud buzz went off right when I hit the ground and I was gasping for air. The chunk of ice got Winter 10 more points. Rats.
