𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 𝐎𝐅 foils clenching at eachother almost made Lilys ears bleed as she beat her best friend for the seventh time in a row. She took of her helmet and sighed frustrated.

"You're too good at this, Lils. I've gotten to the point where I don't even want to try again."

The girl laughed at her annoyed voice and nudged her on the shoulder.

"A little practice would do."

She admitted, and put on her fenching helmet again. She signed that she wanted to go for another round, but immediately stopped when everyone suddenly went completely silent. She turned her head to see what the whole team was looking at, and let out a small gasp when she saw what, or who their eyes laid on. Lily slowly took of her helmet and completely admired the black suit the girl was wearing. Her black, long braids laid nicely over her shoulders as she confidently walked towards the middle of the room, where Bianca Barclay and Rowan Laslow were practicing like wild animals. Bianca is like the best fencer at Nevermore. Not even Lily could beat her, and she is VERY good.

Addams stopped right besides their mat and studied Rowan as he shouted: "coach, coach, she tripped me!!" While desperately trying to get help from the coach. But he wasn't in a mood to help, as he just said:
"It was a clear strike, Rowan."

Bianca smiled mockingly and opened her mouth to speak:
"Maybe if you whined less and practiced more, you wouldn't suck."
She looked down at Rowan.
"Seriously, Coach. When am I gonna get some real competition? Anyone else want to challenge me?"

She looked around in the room, smiling proudly when no one dared to fench against her. Finally, her eyes met Lilys, and she felt the anger build inside of her. Of course she wanted to challenge me out of all losers in the room. Bitch.

Just when the blonde were about to open her mouth and accept the challenge, the raven took the opportunity instead.
"I do."

She said loudly, causing Barclay to flich a tiny bit. She eyed her before answering:
"Oh, you must be the psychopath they let in."

Loomes shut her eyes to not interrupt Biancas pretty little chat with Wednesday. She hoped that the black haired girl wouldn't take in what she said, but soon she realised that she didn't have to worry for the short raven.

"You must be the self appointed queen bee."

Addams replied, with her unbothered voice. I turned to Enid in confusion, wondering how Wednesday found out about her status in just one day.
"I told her about Bianca when I showed her around the quad. She didn't seem to admire her at all. I've gotta ask her about that in the interview you promised me."

Lily nodded and continued to listen to the conversation between the siren and the goth.

"Interesting thing about bees. Pull out their stingers, they drop dead." Bianca seemed stunned about the quote.

"Cheers to Wednesday"
I whispered, which made Enid giggle next to me.
"Agreed"

"Rowan doesn't need you to come to his defense" Bianca finally made a comeback and stared at Wednesday, who didn't even seem to be irritated.
"He's not helpless, he's lazy."

"Are we doing this or not?"
Wednesday was quick to shut her up. Bianca made a annoyed face, but gave in.

Wednesday switched places with Rowan, and Lily grabbed the preppys hand as the goth made the first hit.
"Nervous, are we?"
The girl smirked, which made Lily hit her on the shoulder.
"Shut up, Bianca can be real scary sometimes."
Enid laughed before turning her head towards the fight.

"Point to Wednesday."
The coach shouted, before another round started right away.

"Jeez, not even a pause?"
Sinclair gasped, and Loomes just stared with true fear in her eyes. Those girls are wild.

"The score is even"
The coach shouted for the second time, and Bianca ripped off her helmet. Wednesday looked right back at her, and did the same.
"That first point was clearly begginer's luck."
She spoke without getting any reaction from the goth's side.
"Let's finish this."

Lily and the preppy got ready to witness a second match, but their feeling was suddenly silenced by Wednesday's voice, explaining a wish of her's.
"For the final point, I would like to invoke a military challenge. No masks. No tips."

The girl earned a number of "oooh's" from the other fenchers who was also watching their dramatic fight.

"Winner draws first blood."

The coach looked a little chocked himself. But turned to Bianca.
"It's your decision, Bianca."
He waited for the other fencher's approval, before looking over at the goth again.
"Let's see if you bleed in black and white."

The siren got into position right after Wednesday, as they began their second and last fight. The scene esculated quickly, and Wednesday did some very smooth moves, but in the end, the victory was Biancas. As usual.
"Your face finally got that splash of colour it so desperately needed."
Bianca spoke with a proud grin glued to her face.

Wednesday used her finger to wipe some blood off her face and stared at it.
"Lily, may you please follow Wednesday to the nursery?"
The coach asked, and Loomes was quick to act. She hurried up to the goth and walked out from the fenching hall by her side.

Yet the goth didn't say a word.
