Sorry for the short (and probably bad) chapter! I don't own Descendants, only my characters (the 8 VKs and possibly another)

Sorry for not posting in a while, school and stress!

Chapter 6:

Wu Fang's POV

I walked to the gymnastic center. I knew that people would probably wonder why I was going in there. I walked to the door and saw a sign. Closed for Day 1 of the New VK was sprawled on white paper in pink marker. That didn't bother me as I looked around. I noticed the lock on the door and picked it with the hairpin I had in the fold of my fur vest. It was only used for unlocking doors and sometimes to get the hair off my face as I am swinging in the air… which was some of the reason why I was at the gymnastic center. I heard a click and pushed the door open. I closed it and heard it click behind me. I felt around on the wall for a switch, and turned it on when I found it. I was in a short hallway, colored in blue and yellow obviously for Auradon). There were a few rooms, labeled "Gym", "Arena", "Locker Rooms", "Lounge & Snacks", and "Bathrooms". I headed straight to the arena, knowing that I didn't have a spare pair of clothes and the gym would be useless for what I was going to do. I walked in and the lights turned on, probably motion sensor ones. It was a big room, having the main courses: the floor practice, the trampoline, the vault, and the double bars. I headed to the floor practice after taking off excess clothing (my vest and cape) and my bow and arrows and stretched my whole body. Arms, then back, then legs. I walked to the corner and took a deep breath. I sprinted across to the other corner. Mid-way, I did a handspring and jumped high, the springs helping me to go higher. I did flips, twists, and random other moves. I did three handsprings, a cartwheel, and finally landed. I then did other moves, remembering of what my mentor told me when he was forced to teach me when I was 5 years old.

"Feel free and fly high in the sky. Don't bother about whatever else there is. And if you fail, try again. There is no failing during practice and if you fail, don't be too hard on yourself. Feel the wind and defy gravity." was one of his pep talks when I had been too hard on myself when I messed up. I still remembered his warm smiles and his gentle eyes, like one of a grandfather. I remembered him holding my legs to make my stands perfect and teaching me the ways of moving like the wind. Shan Yun, my father, let him go free after the progress I made, but we were in the deepest part of a snowy mountain. I never saw him again, and I have a feeling I never will. I brushed off the thought as I was ready for my next rounds of the warm-up routine when I heard the entrance door opening. I quickly pulled on my vest and cape and grabbed my bow and arrow before hiding in one of the closets close to me. I hid myself behind the extra bars they had and hoped that I could get my get-away. The voices came closer and closer, and their conversation became louder.

"... I hope she joins the team. I heard that she was like a bird when she did the tricks."

"Her flips are so accurate. Our team right now is horrible and there is only you, me, and 2 others. If she joins, we would win the School Olympics and beat our enemies."

"But she is so scary and she would probably kill us before we talk to her."
"Yeah. Oh, Audrey called for an emergency meeting for the captains of the athletic teams. Probably to see how we could gain more medals. Ugh, she is a pain sometimes and…" the voices died down as they appeared to be leaving. I let out my breath, from holding it to conceal myself. I quietly took the bars that were now leaning on my head and placed it on the ground. I pondered about what the voices said. I walked out of the closet. It actually…. Didn't sound bad. Getting recognition, winning, it could be fun… ugh! Snap out of it.

"Wu Fang, snap out of it! Only purpose is to get the wand and be the most powerful people in the world. We have to prove that we are evil to the bones. Olympics, Pshaw! That is nothing, what would father say? It is worth nothing, and you shouldn't even dare to think about it!" I muttered under my breath. I can't join, not worth it. But, the thought lingered in the back of my head.
