Part Five: Conflict Between Sisters

Chapter Fourteen: Blows Between Opposites

Hailley threaded her arm through Conrad's as they walked up the porch steps to the Killingsworth residence. Conrad acted indifferently to the gesture, even after she pressed her body against his.

He doesn't like girls who throw themselves at him, she thought. I need to play hard to get.

Or I could tweak his mind.

She smiled and pulled away from him. He glanced at her, but said nothing. Her old ploy was already working.

"See you later, Hail." Conrad walked further into the house, leaving her in front of the living room doorway.

Auriella smiled at her. "You're looking fabulously pink today."

"As are you."

Hailley could understand Auriella. They were the same. They spoke the language of pink and popularity. She couldn't exactly see why her and Torrence were best friends. Tor wasn't exactly Miss America.

"Where's Torrence and the other one?"

"Torrie and Blaze were taking the bus. They should be here soon," Ella said.

Hailley nodded, then sat down. "Where's Jimena?"

"Right here."

Jimena walked into the room, wiping her hands on her old blue jeans, smiling at the girls. Ella hugged her first, then Hailley stood to hug her.

Torrence walked in then, followed by Blaze. "We didn't think it would be a problem to just walk in."

Jimena hugged Torrence. "It's fine." She then turned to Blaze, smiling.

Blaze smiled back awkwardly. "Um, hi. I guess I'm your fourth Daughter."

Hailley snorted, cocking her head to the side, placing her hands on her prominent hips. "She's a goddess, too?"

"You got a problem with that?" Blaze cocked an eyebrow.

"No. It's just that…you don't look goddessy."

"Oh, and I suppose a goddess is white and wears pink?"

"I just meant that they don't look like something from the pits of hell."

"You know, bitch, I don't like yo' attitude. Shut it, before I knock yo' teeth in."

Auriella looked between Hailley and Blaze before turning her gaze on Jimena. Jimena smacked the wall next to her loudly. All four girls looked at her, startled. She gave them each a hard look.

"I understand that each of you are different. Complete opposites, even. You four are the saviors, the ones to protect the world. You all need to find a way to get along," Jimena explained.

Blaze glared at Hailley. "I'm cool with Tor and El. It's just this powder puff in front of me."

"Like I'd trust my life with some no good, unproper, black bitch." Hailley smirked.

"Ah, hell nah! I know you just didn't call me up out my name!"

Blaze leapt at Hailley, knocking her to the ground. Hailley screamed, pushing at the darker girl's face. Blaze punched the brunette in the face, catching her eye. Kicking up, Hailley got Blaze off of her. Instantly, Blaze got Hailley back in her grasp, her fingers wrapped in Hailley's thick, brown hair. Growling, she clawed at Blaze's face, pulling her head in different directions to get the hold off of her. She kicked the goth on her hip. She forced her way into Blaze's mind. At the same time, Blaze slowed the hands on her watch.

The use of both powers like that at once caused an energy spike. Torrence, Auriella, and Jimena were jolted and thrown back. Momentarily, the other two girls were in each other's bodies, feeling what they were feeling, knowing what they knew.

I know that this chapter was a lot shorter than the others, but I'm hoping content will beat length. I mean, I'm hoping you all understood the importance of this chapter. One day, it might come into good play.

elephantsrocmysox: Yes, don't you just want to strangle him!

Rubber-duckiesofdoom: Thanks.

Demon Dea: Lol. You keep on suspecting. Maybe you're right, and maybe you're not. But, I'm not saying if Robert is gay. Why? Well, that's because you will all find out the answer to this in Part Six! Lol.

allyfromcali: Um, technically, only Blaze and Torrence are the dancers. Ella is helping out because Charlie needs extras for the performance coming up, but Ella won't really be in it because Blaze has come. And I will definitely check out your story.

Moongirl: Thank you. I'm glad you like it.
