Chandra sat in a tree and watched Jace. Okay so Kylle is apparently interested in Jace's combat abilities. But if he's trying to test Jace's abilities why does he watch him fight his brother. Okay he's not really fighting his brother because he hasn't even lifted a sword yet but he's learned to use a bow. He's definitely better at it than me. I can shoot a sniper and there's a fifty/fifty shot of me hitting my target. If I were to shoot a bow then I'd miss completely. She sighed and rested her arms on a branch above her. She rested her chin on her arms and watched. Kylle's a dick. I really don't like him. He's controlling and obviously resents Jace. He doesn't know any magic and the fact that both Jordyn and Jace can appears to unnerve him. Oh I get it. He's one of those stupid people that doesn't trust magic at all even if it's law magic. She shook her head. Well both of the girls can use magic too if what I've managed to pick up is correct. Honestly I'm not very good at identifying other people's magic. I'm not that kind of mage. I'm a fire mage… and an assassin but that's beside the point.

Jace shot Kylle a dark glare before storming off.

"Did you forget what happened last time?"

"Shut up," Jace snapped.

Chandra slid silently out of the tree and shot after him.

"What do you want?" Jace asked. He was sitting on the edge of the cliff that was nearby watching the water far below.

"Oh so you knew I was coming," she shrugged and sat down next to him, "I don't understand. Why does Kylle always have you fight your brother and then criticize you? He's never faced you. It doesn't make sense to me that he would do that."

"I don't know," Jace shrugged. He grabbed a nearby rock and dropped it into the cliff, "He's just a jerk."

She sighed, "Well yeah. I managed to gather that much."

"He's hated me for as long as he's known me," Jace muttered.

"And I'm going to assume you hate him because of that," Chandra concluded.

"If you had to put up with him every day wouldn't you?" Jace asked.

Her eyes narrowed. It goes deeper than that doesn't it? "Alright. I won't pry then." She got to her feet, "I'm just going to say one more thing. A friend of mine once told me to look on the positive side of life. 'Maybe then the weight of the world will be lifted off your shoulders' or the weight of multiple depending on how you want to see it." She smirked.

Jace looked up at her, "What?" Is she a planeswalker? Well you don't have to be one to know about other worlds. I'm proof of that much.

She turned and walked away without answering his question.

"Hey wait!" Jace got to his feet and started to follow her.

"Don't you have someone to prove something to?" She asked.

Jace blinked. I do? "Oh! But what am I supposed to do?"

"You figure it out," she disappeared in a pillar of flames. Sorry Markov but just watching him isn't going to keep him out of trouble. I've tried that and it didn't work so I'm just going to intervene when it's needed. She returned to her tree. Jarvis was sitting under another tree and watching Kylle carefully. I wonder what he'll come up with. It's probably going to be creative and humiliating for Kylle because that seems like something he'd do. She returned to resting in her tree with her chin on her arms. She watched Kylle until Jace came back with Jordyn.

"Jace said that you can fight him," Jordyn said simply.

Kylle shook his head, "He's obviously not at my skill level yet."

Jace's eyes narrowed, "Try me."

Chandra smiled. Uh-oh. Shit's gonna go down. Just don't destroy anything. That'd be bad since I'm currently sitting in a tree.

I couldn't destroy anything if I tried. Jace assured her. The best I can do is illusions.

Good. I don't plan on being splattered underneath a tree. That'd suck.

Jace bit his tongue to keep from laughing. You're going to get me in trouble.

Well I haven't yet and I'm not changing so there. She shook her head. Another thing. Kick his ass.

Jace nodded.

"Very well, if he wishes to humiliate himself then so be it."

Jerk. Chandra's eyes narrowed. You can't hate someone just because you're jealous. That's stupid. Then again it's human nature to get jealous. Of course a nice or considerate person wouldn't let that jealous ruin the possible relationship with said person. He's neither though since he's obviously perfectly willing to dumb Jace down. She shook her head. "You're ego's not that important you prick." She watched Jace beat Kylle into a pulp using a bow and his magic. Kylle managed to slam Jace with his shield but Jace used a complicated and draining spell to make the landing smooth. I didn't know you could create wings out of mana. That's kind of cool. Then they'd be able to be any kind of wings the caster wanted. That's awesome! She quickly turned her attention back to Jace. I should probably be paying attention just in case if this gets out of hand.

Jarvis quickly intervened. Walls of white and orange flame rose up between them. Jace put up a magical shield and Kylle used his shield, "Alright. We're done."

"This isn't done until I say it is," Kylle snapped.

Jarvis' eyes narrowed flames sparked in his pupils as he looked at Kylle, "I said we're done. The goal wasn't to kill each other and that's exactly where this is headed."

Jace let every spell he had cast drop and set the bow on the ground. He turned and stalked away.

"You were told to learn to use swords," Kylle called.

Jace froze. He glared at Kylle over his shoulder, "I was told to learn to use weapons. The type was not specified."

"Archery won't help you in melee combat," Kylle snapped.

Jace turned to face him completely. His blue eyes burned with anger and intense hatred, "Piss off." He turned and continued walking away.

Chandra smiled. She followed him back to the house. She got there in time to hear him tell his mother to piss off for some reason. She slipped through the open window into his room. He opened the door and stared at her. He closed it quickly, "How'd you get in here?!"

"You left the window open," Chandra shrugged.

Jace glanced at the window and then his gaze returned to her, "If you stay here you really will get me in trouble. And would you get off my bed?"

"Oh relax." She slid off his bed and stood in front of him. He was taller than her but not by much, "You aren't going to get in trouble. I only stopped by to say good job."

"Good job? For what?" Jace asked.

"Kicking his ass," she smirked.

"You're actually encouraging that? I thought your job was to—"

"Oh shut up," Chandra snapped. Her eyes burned a bright orange, "It doesn't matter what my job is. I'll do what I want and I'm telling you good job for kicking his ass."

Jace shook his head, "Alright fine. Can you please leave now so I don't get in trouble?"

"Sure," Chandra rolled her eyes, "Since you asked so nicely." She slid out his window and back flipped onto the roof. Jeez. Sure I was told to not let him know about that but that's kind of hard when he's a freaking telepath. I haven't spent enough time with Star to be able to defend against telepathy completely. I don't understand how the vampire expected me to be able to hide something like that. It was probably just so he could laugh at me. I'm so bored. She lied down on her back and stared at the sky. It was late afternoon. I'm taking a nap. She curled up on the rooftop and closed her eyes.


This story's going on hold until I finish my other two stories so it doesn't end up being terrible. Sorry.
