The Tale of Blue [Hiatus]

Chapter ten

Isobels POV

"Sure. My new name is Pearl. Isn't it beautiful. I really love it."

It really was beautiful. She did look like a shining pearl, with her glowing white hair.

The yellow haired girl jumped to my side and said: "My new name is.."

"Wait, " I interrupted her, "I can't remember your names if you tell them all at once... I have an idea. Why don't we have a competition. Every time someone tells me their name, the will compete against me. Don't worry. You can chose the contest."

The girls slowly nodded.

"That's a good idea. That way we will both train, get closer and learn our new names, all at once, " Heaven said.

Pearl stepped forward. "Okay. I am best at shooting with bow and arrows, so lets compete with that."

Lovely. I absolutely love shooting with bow and arrows.

"Okay. Lets do it." I smiled at her.

*************

"That's 9 wins for me, and 0 for you. Do you give up?"

"Fine. I can't beat you anyway," Pearl answered me.

I smiled at her and she began laughing.

We all became close so fast. I am truly greatfull.

"Okay, " Yellow said, "I will tell you my name now. My new name is Leona. I think it fits me well."

Indeed. It sounds like a lion, and her gaze also greatly reminds me of a lion hunting its pray.

"I don't want to shoot arrows with you. Instead we will fight without any weapons. Hand to hand combat, I mean."

"Fine," I said, "As you wish, love."

"Don't tease me," Leona answered. She was blushing.

Nervously, because of what I said, she approached me.

She blinked a few times, her face turned serious and her eyes looked determined to win. We circled each other, and looked for an opening to hit.

Suddenly she burst forward, and hit me in the stomach.

POV change

Isobel fell on the ground. Leona had hit her hard in the stomach. Isobel was fighting the pain, but weren't able to breath.

"Are you okay Isobel?" Heaven shouted.

Isobel just nodded because she couldn't talk.

Leona turned her back on her, and said: "That was a quick battle. And I won. Come on, let's g..."

Suddenly Leona hit the ground, with her face first. Isobel stood up. Apparently it was all acting.

"Don't ever turn your back on an enemy."
Pearl rushed to Leona's side "Are you okay?!"

Leona shrugged and brushed Pearl's hand of her shoulder.

"Of course I am... Congratulations, Isobel, you're smarter than I thought."

Isobels POV

Maybe I went too far...

Leona was staring at me. She clearly wasn't pleased.

I shrugged and said: "Okay, who's next?"

The black haired girl jumped forward, and ran to my said: "Me, my turn."
