Bethany's P.O.V

Punch. Punch. Punch.

Fist after fist collided with the punching bag that hung in front of me.

Punch. Punch. Kick.

The sound of my fists hitting the leather bag echoed around the homemade training room we had created.

Punch. Punch. Kick. Kick.

This was how I now spent my time when I wasn't in school or doing homework. Finding I didn't tire easily gave me something to do while I was bored.

Kick. Kick. Punch.

Sweat beaded from my fore head slightly. Only tiny amounts considering my thirty minuet plus work out.

Punch. Punch. Punch.

"Beth what did that poor bag do to you?" A voice from the door asked, snapping me from my training zone. Lowering my tapped hands I turned my head towards the door. A dark shadow stood there watching me. "Ronnie" I greeted with a nod of my head. Ronnie chuckled.

"Bored?" She questioned as she walked into the room and sat down on the bench not to far from where I was standing. "Can't sleep" I muttered in reply, unwrapping my hands carefully.

"Of course because you can never sleep" Another voice from above me said as a shuffle sounded from there too. Sighing I glanced at Ronnie who shrugged. Rolling my eyes I questioned "Deanna what are you doing?" Another shuffle sounded before my blonde friend jumped down and loaned on her two feet in front of me.

"Nothing" She sang skipping over to where her bow and quiver full of arrows were kept. However Ronnie's voice stopped her half way. "How about we spar?"

"Against?" I asked, looking down at her.

"My clones. The three of us against my clones. No other magic, no weapons. Training exercise." Ronnie explained simply.

"Alright!" Deanna exclaimed appearing beside me, making my jump ever so slightly. I shook it off and nodded my head in agreement. Ronnie smiled before several copy's of herself appeared. "Good thing we're all in our training clothes" I mutter since that was the only way to tell the real Ronnie from her clones that were dressed differently.

The three of us stood back to back before lunching in to train. Kicks and punches were flying everywhere and more kept coming and coming. "Beth on your left!" Ronnie yelled kicking one of clones and making it disappear. Quickly I turned and punched the clone in the face.

"Thanks" I breathed. "Deanna on your left!" She quickly turned round while yelling;

"Ronnie behind you!" The continued for awhile until we had all worn ourselves down. The clones disappeared and Ronnie sat on the floor, I sat on the bench and Deanna lent up against the wall behind her. "That was fun!" Ronnie beamed. I nodded and took a sip of water.

"Yeah. I've gotta go and finish an essay for my uni course, I'll see you later!" I called getting up and walking out.

"I've gotta go too, read up more about my powers and Norse mythology." I heard Ronnie call before I walked into my room and closed the door.
