Sophie Oak and Jacqueline Snow had finally chosen their taken names; they were now Lavender Ares and Jackalantern Ice. The pair were a fighting sensation and were warding off a group of trolls when Tanith Lee found them.
They were back to back, Lavender holding a double-sided knife slicing two trolls, pushing them back while Jackalantern had a double headed spear and had stabbed one troll through the heart then pushed back killing one that was sneaking through Lavender's blind spot. All of a sudden Tanith dropped from the sky, sword swinging, and cut the heads off the three remaining trolls. "So, gals, what ya doing?" she asked laughing. "Oh you know, just chillin'. Killing some trolls picking some names." Lavender replied easily while Jackalantern cleaned her spear. "You picked names?" Tanith was visibly shocked, Jackalantern nodded and replied, in an old English accent. "Let me introduce myself, I am Jackalantern Ice and this is my friend and fighting partner Lavender Ares." she flipped her ice blue hair before pointing to the purple eyed girl.
The girls talked for hours before Tanith noticed the time. "Why don't we go to my house?" Lavender said, tugging at her tunic, "You don't have a house, you have two trees, a hammock and a swing" Jackalantern argued "And we can't go there" "why?" Lavender flicked her raindrop to it flung in front of her eyes, a habit when she was annoyed. "Because we're being hunted, remember?" the English girl stated annoyed. "I really don't think the forest is the safest place." After five minutes of arguments they decided to go to Jacq's house. At the end of a long journey, which was made longer by all the twists taken to lose the 'hunters' they arrived at the house. It was a large place, every wall covered with pictures of the girls since birth, all had the label 'Sophie + Jacqui' then a different date. In each photo Lavender wore a greek tunic with two silver medalions, a moon and a fire, connecting the dress to the sleeves and a hanging raindrop, in one photo the girls were laying on there stomachs, fire wings were visible on her back; not a tattoo, but a birth mark. Lavender comes from a long line of very powerful fire elementals and each one was born with fire wings. Whereas Jackalantern had a pair of ice wings. Everyone believes that it's something to do with her lineage but whenever someone asked her she simply said "my family is normal- what I used to be" so no one knows, not even her partner. To cover them she wore a long sleeve shirt, she thought of showing them like flashing someone, she also wore a short pleated skirt, and over the knee striped socks with a small belt at the top to keep them on her thighs.
The three girls got to the living room before Tanith burst. She desperately needed to ask them something and felt it polite to wait, but it was hard, so as soon as they entered the room she blurted out, "So why are you being hunted?" Lavender answered her question with another "Ever wonder why Jacq lives in this big house alone or why I live in the forest by myself?" Tanith nodded, most people did wonder but were afraid of what the girls would do if they struck a nerve, "Our wings." Jackalantern finished.
AN so this is a story I'm writing with my best friend jacqui the base for the character Jackalantern which then means that Lavender is very roughly based on me. Please review, its very nice to know your chapter alerting it but if you don't review i don't know if its any good
