Cassandra listened to Z nervously, she had never fought before. Ryan was asking if she’d be okay but he’d made one mistake. “He said your even element is the one you grew up with so for me that’s Viper. If we’re using our odd elements that would be Elpis for me... So I guess I’m just really lucky!”

She thought it was really sweet that he was worried, but she should be okay... Well she hoped. She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and muttered “good luck!” before she ran off to grab a uniform.

After a quick visit to the changing room, she stood anxiously in her red and blue uniform, the top half consisting of a crop top. She would be starting off using water, phew, she was better at that any way. She wondered about Z mentioning killing each other and hoped it was a sick joke. She could never kill anyone.

Cass slowly walked over to her dummy while looking around the room. She spotted the back-flipping dummy, but tried to forget about it so she could concentrate without becoming too nervous. She also spotted the girl who was trying to use fire but fell over and felt sorry for her. She jogged over to the girl and said “Hey, don’t worry about it. I was born a Viper and I can’t even do anything more than this” she demonstrated, making the tiny flame appear in her palm. “You’ll pick it up in no time”

With a shy smile, Cassandra left the girl and went back over to her own dummy. She’d love to chat, but she needed all the practice she could get. First she focused on making a ball of water appear in her hands, then she tried to spin it. It took a few attempts and her feet were soaked, but she managed it eventually. The next step involved flinging it at her opponent, the dummy. She managed it first try and jumped into the air with joy before she realised all she managed to do was make it wet... Cassie needed to think of a way to hurt/kill an enemy using water.

“I guess I’ve been wanting to, so I can explain why my fire manipulation is so bad” Cassandra cringed. She didn’t want to sound like an attention seeker, but she hadn’t told anyone before and something about Ryan made her want to tell.

“I used to be really good at creating fire, but not controlling it. One day, my brothers and I were in my room having a competition of who could make the biggest fireball in their palm. It started out fun, my brothers were younger, therefore they were weaker and I could win easily. When they couldn’t make it theirs any bigger, the flames simply died out, as if starved of oxygen. My brothers were getting over excited about mine, yelling and whooping and encouraging me to increase the size of the flames. So I did. I was getting so giddy, I hadn’t known how powerful holding flames could make you feel...

I started to lose control and I knew it was happening, but I couldn’t stop it. I panicked and tried to get rid of it by absorbing all the energy. It worked at first, but I realised I wasn’t strong enough to hold it all. I could feel it burning inside of me and I screamed at my brothers to get out. I must have scared them because they did as they were told and just in time too! All that wild energy burst out of me and the entire house went up in flames. I was so scared. My parents and uncle were outside and they managed to get the fire under control. I had a lucky escape, my hair was burnt off but I only have burn scars on my back. They’re in a kind of pattern, though I’m not sure if the pattern means anything. My uncle has scars down one side of his body though, from trying to control the flames and carry me out of the house... Most of our belongings were saved though, thanks to the adults. The house was saved too, after a bit of work to fix a few things.”

Cassandra shrugged, her eyes started to glisten, but she ignored it hoping Ryan wouldn’t notice. “There, now you know.” Before Ryan could respond, there was a voice over the intercom system.”Each fledgling is required to attend the South building in ten minutes.”

“We better head on over there” Cassie told Ryan, standing up and waiting for him by the door.

Cassie made the tiny flame appear in her palm once again and made it dance among her fingertips. “I’m glad you’re helping me, if a Viper was helping then I think they’d judge me a lot more than you. Making fire isn’t difficult; I used to be good at it. It’s the controlling that’s hard...”

“Water on the other hand, I have no experience with. It freaked my parents out so they never let me use it. I’d probably be okay with it once I get some practice” She put the flame out by closing her hand, when she reopened it, there were a few beads of water sliding slowly from her palm down to her wrist. “Woah!” she jumped up suddenly, almost falling over in the process. “I can make water appear! Woo!” She concentrated harder, and the beads joined together in the centre of her palm, forming a bubble of water. It slowly got bigger and began to wobble. Cassie tried to catch Ryan’s eye but in the process accidently dropped the water and it splashed all over her feet. “That was cool” she stated. “See, I’m better at my secondary element than my first already, what the hell is that all about?”

She made the flame reappear. “See, I can make this tiny flame dance all over my hand where ever I want. But if I try to make it any bigger, or set anything on fire, it just doesn’t work! It’s like a mind block... I mean yeah, there was an incident years ago, but I’m trying to let it go!”

“Oh yeah, ‘cos I’m totally not focussing on setting these logs on fire” Cassandra replied, her voice dripping with sarcasm. She was about to try again when a flame shot through the door and straight into the fireplace, setting the logs alight. “Hey, that’s not fair! I was gonna try again!” She ran to the doorway to see where the source had come from and managed to catch a look at the boy before he disappeared around the corner.

“Hmmph!” she pouted, going back to the room and dumping herself onto the floor by the fire. “How am I supposed to learn if someone does it for me?”
