Part two! This is really just how long this race is! Let's goooo!
"THREE!" Viola announced and both fairies shot off in a blur.
Ree and Vidia stayed neck-to-neck until the first turn; left. As nobody was able to see the two fairies, Vidia decided to start her cheating. Quickly, she moved her hands in a motion that made a gust of wind appear and fly towards Ree. The queen, seeing the wind, quickly dodged it as she turned left. Vidia growled, frustrated, as she turned the corner. The fast-flyer quickly caught up to Ree and tried the gust of wind again. This time, the wind hit Ree and she fell behind ever to slightly. Ree quickly picked up pace again and used her hands to reflect the sun's rays into Vidia's eyes when she looked back. Vidia shielded her eyes and only fell behind a few milliseconds. Never had Clarion felt so alive since she was a princess! Ree and Vidia both knew their wings would go faster so they both needed a plan to slow the other down so much, they couldn't catch up again. Vidia looked around her to see that they were in the autumn woods and there was a leaf falling beside her. Quickly, she motioned her hands and the leaf swept towards Ree, causing her to slow down to dodge it. Much to Vidia's annoyance, the queen was back at her side within seconds. Ree then remembered that there was a river at the next turn and decided to use her water abilities there…
"Sure you can keep up dearie?" Vidia taunted her.
"Without a doubt," Ree chuckled as they both turned the corner; right. Luckily, Ree was right and there was a long river before them. Both fairies stayed above the river for a second before Ree dipped down and ran her hands in the water. She then sped up behind Vidia and pulled a sheet of water above the fairy; Ree knew Vidia would dodge it easily but she would have to slow down to avoid getting wet which would result her in not being about to fly. Vidia turned her head just at the right time to see the sheet of water being pulled above her. She swooped to the right but the sheet of water dispersed and splattered everywhere; including on Vidia. The fast-flying fairy dropped to the floor for a few seconds and much to her luck, her wings were still dry enough to fly. She quickly jumped in the air but Ree wasn't in sight… Only when Vidia saw the downwards turn into a nearby cave did she see Ree.
"Don't think I'm going down that easy!" Vidia hissed as she swooped into the dark cave. She couldn't see much but she could see Ree; the only source of light. The queen thankfully gave of a small glow that enabled her to see perfectly well. Ree looked up to see the second-to-last turn; up. There was a small deposit of daylight coming from the next turn so Ree reached up a cupped her hands around the light, creating a ball of light in her hands. She then looked down and threw the ball down at the ground below her and it exploded – almost like a light bomb. Vidia gasped in shock-horror at the light and had to shield her eyes as she blindly flew over it. Ree continued on and turned upwards; back into daylight.
"Care to give up yet, Vidia?" Ree chuckled. Never had she had so much fun in her life! Vidia shot her an annoyed look as she swooped upwards a few seconds after Ree.
"Not even if my wings were wet!" Vidia hissed. Now there was only now one turn to go; right. The two fairies were now in Springtime Square and the finish line was around the corner. The two fairies' futures were depending on who won this race… Vidia by now was back at Ree's side and Tinkerbell was preparing to do a photo-finish with a new machine she had invented.
"Prepare to loose!" Vidia yelled as she dashed around the last corner and the finish line came in sight.
"I wouldn't be so sure if I were you!" Ree laughed as she dashed around the corner faster than Vidia and the two fairies crossed the line at almost the same time.
This is probably the meanest cliff-hanger in the history of cliff-hangers… Sorry about that but I've now given you two chapters in one day! Technically, four chapters in two days!
Hope you enjoyed and let me know who you think will win!
