The 2nd Half

Narrator pov

The crowd was getting restless for the two teams to return to the field. The first half was nothing they had expected with Sinedd violent playing and the snow kids trying to hold on to their defence. Suddenly. Callie Mystic started shouting over the field again.

"The snow kids are returning to the field."

There was a mixer of excitement and fear in the air. Excitement for playing the second half. Fear because of what Sinedd will do next. I was walking to my position when I saw Tia walking past, looking a little nervous, when she got to her position I quickly ran over to her.

"Hey are you ok." I asked as she turned to face me.

"Not really" She answered, shuffling on one foot to another. Out of instinct I grabbed her hand. This seemed to calm her down a little.

"Hey, we've got this; we just need to work together." I said, feeling the tension on her begin to fade away as she processed my words through her head. Suddenly, Aarch loud voice shouted into my ear.

"Rocket, get back to your position, the Shadows are coming." I turned to see he was right; the Shadows were coming back onto the field. I let go of Tia's hand and gave her a quick wink as I made my way back to my position. I was feeling a little bit better now that I had talked to Tia, since it had calmed me down a bit now, as I walked back to my position I could see Sinedd watching me all the way.

"Giving that little bitch of yours a little loser talk." He smirked when I finally reached my position. I could feel my face twist in angry at Sinedd's comment. Now it was personal. The buzzer went off and the ball went off into the air, we both flew into the air fighting for the ball. In the end I managed to get the ball and passed it to Micro-Ice, he dribbled it down the field and passed it to Mark, who dodge a shadows player and passed it to Tia. As a Shadows player tried to tackle her she flew into the air with her flux and passed it to Mirco-Ice who was building up his breath to score a goal. However, Sinedd appeared out of nowhere and tackled Micro-Ice, knocking him to the ground. The referee beeped, announcing a penalty. Running up the field I could see that Micro-Ice was fine, just a bit dizzy; at least he was luckier than D'jok. To be on the safe side I went over to see if he was ok.

"I'm all right." He answered when I asked. "It was only my pride that was injured." That's Micro-Ice for you, always making a joke. The ball appeared in front of us to take the penalty. I leaned down to move the ball a little bit further back and took a few steps back myself. I looked over at Tia who gave me a nod to take the shot. I closed my eyes and began concreting on my flux, when I felt ready I ran up and kicked the ball, it whizzed around the Shadows defenders and into the goal, changing the score to 2-0 Snow Kids. All the Snow Kids began cheering and giving me claps on the back. I looked at the clock to see we still had a lot of time left before the end of the match.

"Come on guys, let's finished this." I cried, all of the Snow Kids cheering with me. We all put our hands in the middle and cheered.

"GO SNOW GO!"

We managed to score two more goals after that, one by Micro-Ice and another by Mark. The Shadows seemed more interested in hurting us now then scoring scores. I had been lucky so far and had dodged three attacks but Micro-Ice and Thran had been tackled badly a few times and we believed Mei was playing on a bad ankle. The bell went off signalling another goal for the Snow Kids by Rocket, turning the score 5-0 to the Snow Kids. I looked at the clock to see how much time we had left. There was two minutes left on the clock, enough time to make at least one more goal. I can't believe after what was happening I was thinking about football but I guess it stopped me worrying about flying through the air. I had just returned to my place when I saw Sinedd and Rocket jump back into the air to grab the ball, Rocket was successful in getting the ball and was dribbling down the field dodging two shadows players and passing to Micro-Ice who then passed to Mark. I ran to into the penalty area as Mark passed the ball to me, I was summoning up my flux and making one last effort to the goal. I kicked the ball into the air and jumped after it, twirling my body and was about to kick when a black fog appeared in front of me. I looked up to see Sinedd aiming all of his flux at me. My eyes widen in shock, being my arms up to shield myself from it. I was expecting the hit to come any second by instead there was a loud crash. I looked to see Rocket in front of me creating a flux shield to stop the Smog from hitting me. There was a sudden explosion. I felt the force of the collision slam into me and felt myself falling to the ground but stopped myself feeling all of the impact by cushioning my fall with the flux. The landing still hurt though as I fell on my back, something landed next to me and I turned to see Rocket had also used the flux to cushion his fall but had done it better since he was able to land on his feet. I began pushing myself of the fall, only nearly falling over again because I felt really dizzy. I took a few breaths and then tried getting up again, nearly falling over again but something caught me around the middle.

"Are you ok." Rocked asked, concern written over his face. It felt good to have something warm and hard to lean against, as I rested my head on his chest. I nodded slowly as I tried to clear my head. When I felt a little better I looked up to see Rockets face glaring in Sinedd direction. Sinedd was glaring back as he was being lifted off the pitch again by one of the penalty boxes. His eyes suddenly snapped to me, his eyes were still filled with anger but I could something else in them, sending a shiver down my back. I felt Rocket turning me around so he was blocking Sinedd's view of me. The buzzer sounded in the air announcing the end of the game.

"Come on. Let's get out of here." Rocket whispered softly as he helped support me out of the field.
