Cold Fire 2 {sequel}

Chapter 13

[ Zania's POV ]

I walked passed the training hall, and found Uller there. He was practicing his archery. He shot a few arrows at a target circle. I watched him silence, behind a pillar.

Then suddenly I hear him say, "Would you like to join me, Zania?"

I went to him. "Just wanted to see how you used your bow and arrow," I say.

He smiled at me. He lifted his bow up and aimed. He let go off his arrow and it hit the red dot.

I clapped, which made him laugh.

"Have you never seen archery before?" he asked.

"Only a few times. In Faytum there was barely any archery," I answer.

"Ahh," he says. He shot another arrow, still looking at me. It hit the red dot.

I snorted. "Do not brag, Uller," I say.

He laughs. "Brag? Of course not," he says.

I roll my eyes.

"Would you like to try?" he asked.

I raised my brows. "Oh, no-"

"I'll teach you," he offers. He hands me his bow.

I sigh and take it. "Do not make fun of me," I say.

"I won't."

He hands me a bow. "Lock it in your bow," he instructs.

So I do. I aimed it.

He lowered my elbow. Then suddenly his hands held onto mine, helping me hold the bow straight.

I turn my head to give him a look before looking back at my target. "I do not like being touched like this," I say.

I hear him laugh softly. "I'm just trying to help you, my dear. Can I not help you?"

I sigh, and let him.

"Now, take a deep breath and focus," he told.

I did as he said. I aimed at my target.

"Now release," he said.

And I did. It hit the red dot.

I smiled big and faced him. He grinned at me.

"Not bad, Faddist," he said.

I shrug, feeling all great.

"Again?" he asked.

"That won't be necessary, Uller," spoke Loki.

I turned around; Loki leaned against the pillar.

"Hi, Loki," I say, hoping not to make things awkward, "Uller taught me how to use a bow and arrow."

"I know," Loki spoke, walking to us.

"Laufeyson," Uller said, "What-"

"Perhaps you should keep your mouth shut, hm?" Loki snapped.

"Loki," I murmurs. I looked back at Uller. "Forgive him," I say.

"You are suppose to be watching Quantam," Loki continued.

"Oh? I don't remember Allfather giving me a babysitting assignment," Uller spoke.

Loki began to get angry, so I quickly said, "I am hungry. We should go to supper."

Then, Thor came and announced, "Quantam is gone."

I felt Loki glaring at Uller.

****A/N**** Thank you for giving me ideas! I'm still deciding what to do. Until then, keep suggesting ideas!
