Hey guys! Wow I'm SO sorry it has taken this long to write a chapter, its been over a month! I've had such a dilemma thinking how to end this story… and writers block had really taken over, hence why I started that my other story "Secret Desire". Anyways I hope you all forgive me!

Chapter 34: Wings of Fire
Cold, so cold…
This thought flickered through Cassie's mind as she walked along the snowy mountain side. She didn't recognise the place, yet it felt somewhat familiar… Loneliness crept in as she walked through the snow.
'Patiere?'
Sure enough her black panther was by her side, its golden eyes calming her soul. She always felt safe with Patiere by her side.
A chilling wolf's howl broke the eerie silence the air, startling the girl. Without warning, a strong blizzard began to surround her and the panther. Visibility was poor; she could barely see her own two feet!
Panic set in as another, this time closer, howl echoed around her ears. She tried to quicken her pace, but the thick snow prevented her from making progress.
Out of nowhere a wolf pounced onto Cassie, pinning her to the floor. She screamed, remembering the time this had happened as a child.
The wolf growled, its icy eyes piercing her own lilac ones. The warm stench from its breath sent a shiver down her spine.
Her stomach turned as the wolf decided to bare its fangs. She knew what would happen next. Clenching her eyes, Cassie prepared for the wolf to attack. Suddenly the wolf screamed in pain as its weight got lifted off Cassie's body.
Slowly the girl opened her eyes to see Patiere pinning down the terrifying canine. Soon the two beasts became engrossed in a vicious struggle. The wolf trying endlessly to reach Cassie, but Patiere forever protected her master.
Cassie gathered her senses, and scrambled to her feet. She knew that Patiere couldn't keep the wolf at bay forever. Taking one last look at Patiere, the girl began to run as fast as she could through the snowy hillside.
The blizzard worsened. Confusion set in, Cassie had lost all sense of direction. Everything seemed the same; it was all a white haze. The snow worsened causing the girl to shield her eyes from the freezing flakes.
It was no use, she was lost… the only good thing she could scramble from this dilemma was that she could no longer hear the howling wolf… however that also meant Cassie had lost Patiere too…
Just as she was about to give up hope, the girl began to notice a shadowy figure some distance in front of her. Cautiously, she approached the mysterious figure, as she did so, the snow died out until Cassie could clearly see who the figure was.
It was a beautiful woman clad in a long icy-blue dress. She had a long, slim figure and white flowing hair to her knees. Her face although attractive, had a malevolent feeling to it. The mystery woman smiled as Cassie came closer.
The Korean girl was now exceedingly confused, why was the woman out here, in the middle of nowhere?
Cassie opened her mouth to ask that very question but found she could not speak. There was something about this woman, some aura, that froze Cassie to the spot.
Gracefully, the woman raised her right arm level with her hip. She smiled sweetly as her arm revealed a wolf that sat obediently by her side.
Cassie's eyes widened in shock, she couldn't move, fear had taken over her body.
The woman smirked at the girl's reaction. She gazed down to the wolf which looked expectantly back at her. The lady nodded understandingly before turning back to the frightened girl.
From where she was standing, Cassie could see that bits of the wolf's coat were stained with blood… Patiere's blood. Her heart sank; a single tear fell from her eye.
The woman gave a sympathetic look towards the girl before raising her hands in the air, summoning a blizzard around her and Cassie. A turquoise light surrounded the mysterious woman, every second getting brighter and brighter.
Suddenly the woman shot her arms forwards pointing towards Cassie. The strange light followed this direction and flew towards the Korean girl. An icy pain shot through Cassie's body as the light hit her. She screamed out in pain as she realised what was happening. Ice began to surround her feet, moving up her body at a fast rate. She could feel her body becoming numb. Eventually the ice has surrounded her body completely.
Through the ice she could just about make out the figure of the woman and wolf. Cassie was desperately running out of air, the cold was taking over, her breathing became shallow.
She could now see the blue reflection of the wolf encircling her icy prison. Her head was beginning to go numb.
'Is this how it ends…' she thought sadly
With her last ounce of strength she gazed at the woman, who was still smiling. Suddenly that smile faded. Cassie could see a red glow in the distance. The ice smothered her hearing but the girl thought she heard the cry of a bird.
She noticed the wolf become exceedingly anxious until it abruptly ran away. Cassie's attention turned to the woman, who now seemed terrified. A red light blinded Cassie causing her to shut her eyes as best she could. She could hear the muffled screams of the woman that had imprisoned her, screams of pain and desperation.
Then silence.
In this eerie stillness Cassie decided it was safe enough to open her eyes. Golden orbs peered back at her.
'Patiere…'
The Black Panther raised a paw to the ice. Cassie smiled sadly. Then her eyes showed pain - her time had run out. She had no more air left to breath. Slowly she felt herself slipping away. Her vision began to get cloudy…
Patiere suddenly backed away, causing Cassie to fear death even more. Suddenly two fiery wings encased the icy prison.
Even in near unconsciousness, Cassie still felt the heat travel up her body as the ice melted. The ice around her heart began to melt. Her panic slowly began to slip away, she felt unusually calm with the wings of fire wrapped around her. All of her pain was being drained away. But she still needed air. With her last ounce of strength she gasped for her first breath of air.
Cassie shot up from her bed, sweat pouring from her forehead, she was breathing deeply.
Her head began to spin from getting up so fast. Then it hit her.
"It was just a dream…" she whispered with a sigh of relief.
But it seemed so real, the pain she felt, the coldness of the ice, the warmness of the wings… Those fiery wings… The wings that had brought her back to life.
'Dranzer?'
Dun dun durrr! Ok was that chapter lame? Please say if it was, because I'll try and write a better chapter next time lol.
Speaking of which, I need to ask you guys for your opinion of what I should write about. You see I'm not so confident on writing the battle scenes for the tournament, and well, I was wondering if I should skip the preliminary rounds and go straight to the semi finals? What do you lot think?
I've got an idea for Boris' plan now anyways… and that's a reason I've been holding back on this story, I've been waiting for the episodes of G-rev with Boris in – to see how he behaves… and well now he's finally arrived so I can write about him better now!
Anyways here's a poll for your ideas for the next chapter:
A) Give a brief overview of the preliminary rounds and skip to the semi-finals
B) Continue with the tournament as I am at the moment (bearing in mind it gets more exciting in the semi-finals)
C) Write a bit more about Boris's plan
D) Something else (give me ideas if you chose this)
I'd appreciate if you did answer this poll, it would help! Please review, I'd love to know your comments! I'll update when I can.
