This is slowly evolving into something bigger than what I predicted…hm…ah well! Who cares! I love writing a collaboration on two of my favourite things

Okay…this is for me, what I think would be Blackfire's 'defying gravity' moment. :D Enjoy and leave a present!

A modern day Wicked Witch of the West…

Are people born Wicked? Or do they have wickedness thrust upon them…?

The pain…

X'hal the pain! It's ripping through my body; to die right now would be an act of charity from you X'hal! End my pathetic life of exile from my own throne and slavery! I can hear Koriand'r scream beside me but I don't care, to me now all that matters is breaking free of this prison and claiming the life that should've been mine. Koriand'r can burn here for all I care.

The pain…it's excruciating! But I refuse to scream. I can't and I won't! My sister can be a child but I've learnt that children never last long; they either grow up or perish in the struggle of life. I bite down as the fire of the stars is beamed into me, I don't know what they wish to achieve, but my worm of a sister and myself are needed to make it work…we're the only one's strong enough to hold the power, the only ones strong enough to take it…so I wouldn't be surprised if my weak sister perished before the end.

The pain…suddenly it's gone, I feel pleasantly warm and calm, I slowly open my eyes, but the ugly creatures are still stood there and I'm in the lab so I can't be dead. I look to my left where Koriand'r is coming to, her big perfect eyes opening and her stupid face looking confused.

"Let me out!" I demanded, they only sniggered and took down notes on their computers. I struggle against the metal holding me down, as I fight I feel a stab of warmth in my hands, it was hot yet comforting. I clenched my fists and it returned. The creatures were talking to themselves, by the way their faces were disgustingly positioned I'd say they were happy…was their experiment a success?

One of the creatures came forward; she kept her eyes focused on him, narrowing them slightly. He used to scaly hand to poke her in the stomach; she flinched and growled at him slightly. He ignored her and started examining her, she was uncomfortable and angry. He kept taking his stupid notes and prodding me as if I was some dead thing on the ground and he was a curious child with a stick. I felt myself growing more and angrier, I could feel Koriand'r's stare as my body heated up. The creatures all started to mutter and write more at the signs of my body heat rising.

I was sick of being a stupid experiment, if I was so damn defected on Tameran why did they need me here…unless this was something all of Tameran had wanted to do…cut open the defected princess and see how she ticked. Suddenly my hands had felt as though they'd exploded in flames and power, I looked to my sides to see that my fingers were engulfed with a neon purple light, the same colours as my eyes, I was shocked yet pleased with this new power I'd obtained, my eyes felt funny as well, as though they were tingling pleasantly. The fiery light began melting my bonds and I leapt forward, taking out the first creature with my fist, only to find the light would fly off my hand to hit them, loving this new power already I repeated the process, laughing as I went.

With my new powers I felt a new happiness I had not felt before, I felt as though I was freeing myself with blast I sent flying, I looked at myself to see if anything else had changed and my breath had caught in my throat.

The one thing that had kept me weaker than my sister, weaker than the people of Tameran I'd overcome…

I was flying!

Koriand'r was looking at me with a mix of shock and bewilderment, I laughed in her direction and continued to blast those things to be judged by X'hal, and oh how they'd pay for what they did to me! I used my new gift to seal the doors against anymore coming in and I flew in front of my sister who was trying to break free of her own bonds, perhaps she had not been gifted with what I had, it wasn't like she deserved such power.

"Komand'r! How could you do such a thing? They will punish us now! Why could you not stay calm for once? Instead of flying off the handle!" She kept talking but I just laughed at her. She was so naïve.

"I do not plan on staying little sister…I plan on flying to freedom! Something I believed I'd never do. But finally!" I threw my hands in the air and swooped up joyfully, finally being able to love the feeling of flying through the air. "I have defied gravity!" She was looking at me now in a worried manner now, as if I'd lost my mind or something. Stupid girl! I neared her and grabbed her cheeks. "And I plan to fly higher than anyone."

"What about me? Aren't you going to help me?!" She asked desperately, though I think she already knew the answer to that. For I laughed once more.

"No…I don't believe you're done here yet, it's time you got a taste of cruelty for what you look like!" I hissed the last part, and then I flew backwards from her, savoring the feeling of flight.

She had tears in her eyes, her bottom lip wobbled in an angry manner. "I hope you're happy…now that you're choosing this." I grinned at her and blasted a hole in the ship wall clean through and flew to the gap, turning to look at poor crying Koriand'r trapped…and I loved it.

I flew off into space, I could faintly hear our captors breaking into the room and shouting commands to find me…it didn't matter though, I was gone, I flew towards the west, wherever it would lead me…at least I was at last. Defying Gravity.

Are people born Wicked? Or do they have Wickedness thrust upon them…?

Hm…I liked writing this one…I think I caught her evil ways, but also her fight for freedom for herself. What did you guys think?
