Chapter 5: Wild magic?

***
She had controlled her laughter when they reached the practice courts and was now staring curiously at her surroundings. Rolad tapped her lightly on her shoulder and she looked up at him. "I'll be over there with the 2nd years." And started to walk off. "Wait!" she said, and watched as he slowed down a bit. "Are you a 2nd year?" and looked down at her feet, not wanting him to see her confusion. [I thought I resolved not to learn anything about him. I don't need friends.] "Yup. Bye, have fun" he said, interrupting her thoughts. "Bye." She said automatically and could have smacked her head. [Cold and distant. Remember, cold and distant.] she chanted to herself. "Bye." She responded absently again as Mick and the group also yelled a loud goodbye, Mick adding a farewell slap on the back when she answered. [Stupid, stupid, stupid.], she thought disgustedly at herself and walked off toward the loud voice yelling for first years.

***
She listened attentively as the Shang warrior talked. "You must be relaxed so your body can respond quickly. Relax your body as I throw you and then slap the ground when you hit it and roll." [This will be no problem for me!] She thought smugly. Already thinking her speed would make her, instantly, the top at this lesson. But when he threw her, her body tensed up expecting a blow and she painfully hit the ground. Not uttering a word as the other pages laughed openly she saw a hand appear in her vision. The Shang warrior helped her up and continued talking. [Why is he being so nice to me?] But snapped back to attention when she heard the word strengthen. "Some people like to do push ups. Push ups help develop upper body strength and can also develop stamina in muscles." He demonstrated it and she looked on hungrily. [I will become strong] she thought determinedly. Then went back to her earlier thoughts. [Did he tell us that for my benefit?] She thought, still trying to comprehend her first question.

Next was staff practice. This was nothing really new to her. She put her cloak and her kantana, carefully hidden in the cloak, by her as she started. She thought it would be different from learning the art of the kantana but it was just as easy. [And just as boring] She hadn't even paid attention to who she was practicing with but she didn't really care who he was. Something rapped against her knuckles and she bit her lip to cover her cry of pain. Not because it hurt so much but because she was surprised by the pain. [You should have paid more attention!] She scolded herself. She finally focused on her unknown tormentor, [and my practice partner] she added in wryly, and almost gasped in surprise again when she saw who it was.

"I remember you. You where that boy hiding behind that other boy that was at my door." Blake said calmly. "Hiding!" said the boy. "I wasn't hiding! And I'm not 'that boy' my name is Matt." And he looked at her with such loathing that she almost took a step back. Almost is the key word there. [I will never back down from anything.] She thought fiercely. [If I can help it] she admonished slightly. Suddenly Matt started to attack her with his staff, she awkwardly tried to block him but she knew she would get hurt sooner or later. [Looks like I don't know this stuff that well after all] She was barely blocking his attacks and could here him muttering, "Stupid girl. I'll get you. You don't belong here. Girls are inferior." And so on. [Inferior!] She thought anger snapping through her. [No one calls me inferior.] And looked at him with eyes tinged with red. He didn't notice the change in her and kept up the attack. [I'll show him] she thought grimly.

She rolled back suddenly and grabbed her cloak. "Ha, do you think a cloak will protect you from me? You are not only inferior but suffer from stupidity as well" and he laughed as if he had made the funniest joke in the world. [Lame ass] she thought and almost broke out smiling. "No I don't think I'll beat you with my cloak. I think I'll kill you" and she paused while she pulled her kantana out, "with this." "Oh, I'm so scared." Matt said, quivering with mock fear. They had gathered a crowd around them. [Figures no one tries to stop us.] "You should not only be scared but start thinking of the different ways you should beg for your life." She said her eyes growing a darker red.. Blood red. Before he could open his mouth she pulled her kantana sword out of its sheath. She heard people gasp but didn't care. The sword felt so right in her hand and her eyes went back to their normal impassive color as she felt calmness fill her. She looked at Matt and raised the sword. She made a movement with her hand-some people later would swear they had seen the movement the whole time and others would swear, disbelievingly, that she could not move that fast-and the staff that Matt held was cut in two.

He looked at his cut staff in amazement, then a trace of fear. But pride won out and he started to rush her. [Stupid boy] And with a speed that matched the gods she was behind him. "No one calls me inferior." She said. Everyone in her speaking range shivered as if cold. They didn't know that they would have nightmares about that cold yet enraged voice. Matt slowly turned around, fear starting to take form on his face. She raised her kantana slowly and it was as if time slowed down. Matt closed his eyes tightly but then a voice rang "What are you guys doing?".......

AN: LOL! I swear I'm not that cruel. I won't make it a cliffhanger, though if I did the next part you would've hated me for cuz nothing happens. kinda. I guess. I haven't thought of it yet cuz I'm doing this all at the top of my head rite now so..

The crowd dispersed immediately, some gratefully, others horrified. They were all thinking one thing, ' Would she have killed him' But they would never know the answer. "Well what are you guys doing? Are there any problems here?" said the tall person. [Oh, I hate being small] she thought this out of reflex, not from malice. "Nothing Lord Numair." Matt said meekly. Blake said nothing as she quickly picked up her cloak to go to archery. Matt ran ahead of her giving her a slight sneer as he ran by. [I hope all my days are this entertaining] she thought dryly. Numair still stood there, looking at Blake with a surprised expression on his face then walked away muttering. "No, it couldn't have been" repeatedly.

***
'I couldn't have seen what I thought I saw' thought Numair as he walked off. For a moment there he thought he had seen a trace of wild magic. But this one looked, from the brief glance that he had seen, to be very different from Diane's. 'I think I'll research it' he thought and instantly felt better at having some reason to go to the library. "Yes that's it." He spoke out loud absently. "I'll research it." and he walked off towards the library.

AN: DUH DUH DUH DUHHHH!!!!!!!! Did he see what he thought he saw! Lol. I hope that was okay. Sorry I haven't been updating recently. I've just had MAJOR writers block. I hope my first EVER fighting scene was okay. Oh, and I don't really know what time period this is but I know that the war is still going on. Why was Numair still at the castle? Who knows? I sure don't, I don't own him. Lol.
