'I'd Like To See You Try'

The tension in the room could have been cut with a knife.

"But…" Ty Lee whimpered.

"Do you think I sent you to the Royal Fire academy to see you join a circus?" her father questioned in a dangerously low voice.

"No…but I thought that-"

"You thought?" Her father roared his hands ablaze. "You thought that you could walk out of this house with out a second thought? After all we have done for you? We have managed to place you in a social standing people would kill for!"

"Well let them have it!" Ty Lee shrieked, tears forming at her eyes, as she jumped to her feet.

"You dare defy me?" He yelled, the fire in his hands burning brighter, as he assumed a fighting pose. "After you have slept in my home, ate my food, and…"

"Shut up!" She screamed "You didn't do it for me, you never did anything for me!" the tears were flowing freely now. "You tolerated me so you could use me as a pawn to further your own status and you know what? It Worked! So why can't you let me go, and live my life?"

Ty Lee's father aimed a kick at her stomach, winding her and knocking her to the ground. He had obviously been pushed too far.

"Let you live your life?" He questioned coldly "I'd like to see you try." And with that he raised a hand to her throat. Nothing happed for a moment then a piercing scream rose form Ty Lee's mouth.

I was originally going to make this longer but I loved the open ending too much! Hopefully you'll like this Vanguard Ziggy
