Some Fairy Horrinble Shenanigans
"Now,in order to execute any move,you need to clear your mind and think about your opponent and how cold he or she is."Jealousy instructed.
"Like how I thought you were cold though you will never admit that you were jealous of me when we first fought because I beat you?"Ruby teased as her lips formed an impish smile.
"DO YOU WANT TO LEARN OR DO YOU WANT TO FIGHT?!"There was note of finality in her hissed words.
She assumed her battle stance as artfully as a dancer.
Her hands flicked quickly,fingers flexing in fluid motion.
The very idea of taunting her further was blasphemous...and suicidal.
However,Ruby smirked.
"Actually,fighting sounds like a splendid idea to me!"As soon as Ruby said those words,a cold gust of wind slammed the door closed.
Jealousy quickly countered,eyes narrowed in concentration as she responded with a series of swirling,icy movements.
Her movements were smooth and flawless,almost choreographed in their elegance.
Yet they were deadly.
It was impossible not to notice how Ruby moved like greased lightning though.
She dodged every single attack,as though she was waiting for the right time to strike and Jealousy knew it so she quickly put up an ice shield immediately.
Ruby tapped into her inner energy and pierced the air with ice missiles.
The whizzing sound of her ice missiles made as they split the air was almost musical to Jealousy.
"What's happening?"Peter demanded as everyone entered the room...or at least what was left of it.
Surprised,Ruby shot snaking tendrils of snow from her hands at Frank and Len.
Surprised,Frank and Len strained against the slender curl of snow that seemed to have a death grip on them.
They clawed fruitlessly at the punishing tendril locked about their throat,which only provoked Ruby into tightening her grip.
"One step closer,and the conjoined twins get it!"
"Hey,we have names!"
"Yeah!Len and Frank!"
"Len,how many times have I told you?My name should be addressed first!"
"But why?"
"We are going alphabetically!"Frank scoffed before Ruby gave her tendril a firm shake,causing their eyes to be diluted with fear as she continued to jerk then to and fro like a rag doll.
"How about we address you as Dumb and Dumber?"
With great reluctance,Jealousy did as she was commanded to do,her eyes never leaving their mottled face as she put her hands up as a sign of surrender.
"HEY!LEAVE THEM ALONE!"Peter growled as he charged with all his might,fists clenched in battle stance.
To his shock,it was if he bounced off a big rubber ball when Ruby erected a shield in front of her.
The force of the recoil sent him tumbling backwards and he sprained his wrist.
Seizing the golden chance,Ruby shot another tendril at him.
He did his best to pry his hands from but it seemed like the clutches of snow were manacled into his shirtfront.
There was no escape.
As soon as Scaredy,Poe and Iris noticed this,they crept slowly downstairs but Ruby's sharp,inquisitive eyes never missed anything and immediately shot ice blue orbs of energy at their legs,causing them to halt mid-escape.
"YOU KNOW,IT IS TIME YOU CHILL OUT!"
Ruby found herself trapped in a swirling hailstorm of own icy blasts.
They circled around her in a dizzying vortex,trapping all her attempts within the stiff spiral of air.
"HA!YOU REALLY THINK I CAN'T ESCAPE THIS LOUSY WIND?!"
Beating her wings furiously,Ruby took off and glided through the sky on an ice board.
"THERE'S NO ESCAPE NOW!"Ruby chuckled.
Just as Jealousy was about to counterattack,she accidentally shuffled her foot over the ledge of her crumbling balcolny.
'Woah!"She cried as she seemed to plummet to her doom,
Holding on to the branch like grim death,she felt a spike of overwhelming adrenaline shooting through her spine as fear and thrill erupted within her simultaneously.
Forcing herself to look away from the ground that seemed like a thousand miles away,she looked up to everyone's horrified faces.
Even a crease of worry was etched on Ruby's forehead.
A war seemed to be going on in Ruby's mind as she darted her raven orbs back to the chaos and to her cousin.
Memories flooded to her time she helped her older cousin bake cookies and sparked her interest in baking.
"Uf,I am SO going to regret this,"Ruby thought as she swooped to catch her falling cousin.
In the nick of time,Ruby caught her wailing cousin with an ice board and levitated without even straining herself.
As quick as a whip,Jealousy gracefully performed a cartwheel mid-air and landed on her feet on the sheet of ice,relatively unharmed.
"Why did you help me?"Jealousy wondered.
"You may get on my nerves sometimes,but you have supported me through thick and thin and most of all,you're my cousin,my family and family sticks together."They chorused the last words together before locking themselves in a tight hug.
