Three days till she would either be victorious or lose concentrate Sanama chided gently." Move like water whatever water is in it always takes the shape of its container remember Bruce Lee's advice, now try again". Crystal focused bringing her stick towards Sanama in fast fluid movements, moving gracefully and as fast as wind she arched her stick high above her head. "That was much better keep practicing and don't disappoint me" he ordered." Have I ever lost?" she questioned aggressively. "You haven't but you could you're your gifted you know and your abilities amaze me throughout this contest you have beat many others now this is the last match" he lectured. "Look I know it isn't going to be easy but don't forget I'm strong" she stated bluntly. "And even if I fail I can call on my powers".
"Don't you dare you'll be removed from the contest and I assure you, you don't want that" Sanama hissed. "What about my missions she questioned meaningfully. "Visit me when it's over" he retorted as he left the room.
Moving fast Crystal began practicing, knowing she was unbeatable and that she would win, she swished her stick smoothly through the air. After two days of hard training Crystal new she was prepared. She would perform her best and in her heart she new she would win.
Crystal gazed calculatingly across at her opponent good build, quite tall and pretty good looking what could you expect all vampires were amazingly beautiful. Skillfully she circled her opponent her uncanny green eyes shining brightly. Her pose was calm yet all her muscles prepared for any attack. As he clashed his stick against hers with amazing precision she went on alert her midnight black hair cloaking her creamy face. She began to change her steps finally showing her years of training. He smiled mischievously and began to do complicated moves with his stick and launched towards her the smile gone as he concentrated. Crystal moved her stick so fast and expertly he barely saw her as she moved as fast as lightning. Her lithe body not showing any damage her breathing calm, her face intense.
Being a vampire it was in her blood to feed however she was different from the average vampire. When she drank blood her eyes sparkled the color of glass as bright as the sun and as dark as night that's what Sanama had seen what kept her apart from average vampire's the reason he had adopted her feared her and protected her was because he had seen the power in her eyes when she fed. Since she was able to walk she been trained to be the best fighter learning how to use numerous different weapons and had never been beaten by anyone. As a child she had shown astonishing abilities her mum being an extraordinarily strong witch had passed her talent to Crystal. Therefore she was able to control all elements and could do whatever she pleased her father being half dragon, half vampire had given her his strength and quick reflexes. Both had been murdered when she was five. Throughout her life she had been betrayed many times thanks to this she barely showed any emotion her eyes held a fire, which was usually revealed in a fight.
As her opponent began to attack her in fast fluid movements she moved gracefully. Switching her stick to fast for the human eye to see Crystal began twirling her stick, stalking him. Moving swiftly she brought her stick to his neck it was over she had won. Turning she faced the judges who acknowledged her with a shake of their heads. Instead of feeling triumphed she felt bored so decided to quit the medal ceremony where she would be given the Medal of Honor. Instead she would send one of her workers to pick it up for her. Whirling she walked out the room. However before she could move the guy she had been fighting with not so long ago was in front of her blocking her way.
"My names Storm and yours is?" before he could say anything else she sent a blast of energy towards him which should have slammed him ten feet away. It was only a moment later she realized he was still standing there and then it seemed of his own will he stepped to the side. Crystal walked briskly through the engraved door of the martial arts combat arena. Her mind a whirl, her power was feared, respected and even talked about. This was the first time she had received no response. How could he have standing there when he should have been sent flying? Were her powers weakening?
Walking out onto the streets she looked up the sun was shining, dazzling and humid as always. Lifting her hands she pushed the clouds towards the sun and called for thunder. Her entire body thrummed with electricity as rain poured down fast and cold lightning shone brighter then the sun and boom after boom of thunder followed.
As she began to saunter away she sensed some one watching her. Alert she turned towards the cemetery only to see Storms probing eyes staring at her. Still looking at him she called upon fire and instantly a roaring ball of fire appeared a cm above both of her palms. The fire swirled all different colors in the dark. Storms body began trembling as she saw his entire body was consumed by flames. Crystal again was puzzled the fire was still in her hands how could he be controlling the blaze? As she watched he pushed the clouds apart causing bucketfuls of water to fall. A minute later he lifted his hands again this time he called fog and was hidden from her view as the fog polluted everything.
"Could I possibly have some information on my latest mission" Crystal asked slumping on a sofa. "Here you are" a worker called pushing a package through the slot from where he stood. Sanama's mansion reminded her more of a bank then a house it was arranged with long rows of people behind a glass wall. Sanama had people working for him he never actually saw his workers but chose them to do a job for him. His staffs were responsible for ensuring things were running smoothly.
Looking down at her hands she saw a coffee colored package. Opening it she saw a picture of a girl probably 17-18 a vampire. She attended a Witham College and was talented in witchcraft. Crystal liked that a quick easy mission not much communication. Blond haired, blue eyed probably a bimbo to full of her self. Crystal realized she was not analyzing the mission carefully enough and the girl could be quite dangerous. She sighed knowing she would have to keep a vigilant eye on the girl. Sanama usually sent her to spy on strong witches and she had never been given an easy mission. Deciding she would study the package later she headed for her home.
Reaching her luxurious mansion which had 238 rooms including a large gym, dance floor, and a room filled with every kind of weapon imaginable. Crystal went towards her gym and skillfully started using a sword and went through routine after routine using three to four weapons at a time she worked out late in to the evening.
The next day she walked into the College building where she would be spending the next week or so spying on Asha. Yawning she studied the school it was a small school very old fashioned with huge colored windows and a small rusty yellow door. As she sat opposite the reception she quickly brainwashed the secretary, she didn't have time to fill out any forms. The lady behind the desk beamed and called her over Smiling she took a yellow card from the secretary. "Go down the corridor from here Asha's in the class on the right". "Thanks a lot" Crystal grinned as she confidently strolled into the room.
"I'm new here" Crystal smiled. The teacher a tall built man looked quizzically at her as if waiting for a more truth filled explanation. "Well shouldn't someone have brought you in here as in one of the teachers" he finally asked. "I said I'd be fine I wouldn't want to trouble anyone" Crystal sighed solemnly while mentally brainwashing him to believe her. Looking a little more cheerful the teacher smiled "I'm Mr. Walter". Crystal turned away from him and instead inspected the rest of the room it was spacious with blue paint and new looking tables which were arranged in rows of 6's. There was her suspect sitting in the third row next to her was some petite girl with long wavy brown hair and wide brown eyes. "You can sit wherever just take a seat" Mr. Walter boomed. Crystal went and sat casually on the 4th row her ears and eyes alert the girl was definitely interesting very talkative yet careful with her words.
"Oh right can anyone tell me the answer to this question" Mr. Walter asked pointedly staring in Crystals direction. Without thinking she new the answer "24.3 she stated only after she said it did she realize she had brought unwanted attention to herself as the question was actually quite complicated and needed minutes to solve but thanks to her gift she new sums as easily as her name. Noticing that Mr. Walter was staring at her disbelief on his face she looked straight ahead." I'm naturally talented when it comes to maths". She purred.
