Chapter 13 – Let's Be Reasonable"You're killing innocent people!" I yelled.
"I'm not killing anyone." His voice was soft and calm, and some-what alluring.
"Then tell me, what are you doing?" I asked,
He paused for a minute, avoiding my eyes. Finally he gave up and looked straight at me.
"Woahh, if looks could kill…" He said, backing up a bit.
"Don't change the subject!"
"Look I am just…teaching them a valuable lesson"
I sighed in frustration.
"Just because I'm much better at handling my powers than you are." He muttered.
"You are SO full of yourself. Besides, we all now I'm the best."
"Oh really?"
"Yes, really!"
"Fine. Prove it." His lips curled into a cocky grin.
"Okay I will."
"What are you getting at?"
"You and me, Friday afternoon. What's say a little fight? "
He folded his arms across his broad chest. His t-shirt fitted his body perfectly, showing the outline of his abs.
"No way."
"Ahhh, what's the matter? Scared you'll be beaten by a girl?"
"No, but…Fine! Friday afternoon. On the field. Be there."
"Oh, I'll be there…will you?"
"If I win, you have to help me on a little dilemma I have" He said with a serious, hesitant tone, ignoring my question.
"What sort of…dilemma?"
"You'll find out."
There was a moment of silence between us and I could practically taste the tension in the room.
"Fine. But if I win I get no more detention for two months and you stop punishing people with your fire power."
He thought about it for a minute and opened his mouth to say something, but thought better and just nodded.
"Oh and you only use your fire power." He said as I nodded once.
I smirked as I watched him walk away to the King's Room.
That night in the King's Room, all I could think about was Manfred and our little duel. He was right though. I had hardly any control over my powers. I had only just gotten to grips with my earth power. The last down I used my fire power, I nearly burned down the whole house. I wasn't going down that road again. But I had to. For all those kids he hurt. The two months detention free was just a bonus.
Tomorrow morning I would train hard. No matter what.
Manfred POV:
Was she crazy? Did she have a death wish? I stared at her from across the table. Homework in the King's Room. What joy!
Her beautiful, long brown curls fell to cover her face. Her pretty little face. Such innocence, yet such feistiness.
Why did I even agree to the fight?
I could hurt her. If I hurt her, I would never forgive myself. Maybe I should cancel. But this could be my chance to make her do what Ezekiel and my father said. To free him. I might as well go through with it. I mean I wasn't really gonna hurt her. I would never even think of doing that.
But why take chances?
No! I had to stop thinking like this. I'll just give her light blows. Or just tire her out, that way I won't have to attack at all.
Right? RIGHT?
