The Colour Of Blood

How did I do that? More importantly how did I live? Cloudy

So the tests were well ..... Tests (but you could probably guess that). Lots of yellow bloods go in a few come out ..... At least in 1 piece. I had extra pressure since Coco aced the final exam and I am a late bloomer and only have 2 abilities flight and invisibility. Don't get me wrong they are awesome abilities. But Coco has mind manipulation, invisibility and bird telepathy. She managed to use her mind manipulation to convince her opponent that they couldn't use a sword, but a toothpick was a suitable weapon! Me however, the best I can do is fly up a bit and disappear while I attack them.

"Cloudy! Time to go!" Coco yelled. Wait it is already 09:30. NOOO! Time to panic! "Cloudy!"

"Coming!" I yell. I grab my dagger λεπίδα της αγάπης or blade of love. My mother had 3 daggers made when we were born before she sent us away. Coco got λεπίδα της εξουσίας blade of power (I call it Sparky!), Fawn got λεπίδα της ομορφιάς blade of beauty (I call it June) and I got λεπίδα της αγάπης blade of love. My memory is not the best so I just call it Venus. Venus like me can also turn invisible.

Once I arrived at the arena all eyes were on me, well they were on Coco the eldest daughter of Maria (that's our mother btw) our last leader at least until Coco comes of age. "I didn't know we were at Hogwarts! I can see the sky!" said a brunet with purple eyes and a striking glare, "hey you! Yes you Cloudy!"

"Yes!" I retort, "You called!" she backed off once she saw Venus at my side but went off talking about how I only had two powers. Erg! I already hate her and it has been what 2 minutes. New world record! Walking over to the score board I realise 2 things 1 the brunet was named Jasmine and we were sparing first.

Walking to the centre point of the arena I untie Venus from my side and stare at Jasmine as she goes to collect a knife from the weapons box. They call our names as we walk to the marked area in the centre of the arena.

"Oh so you actually think you can finish a battle against me!" cried jasmine as she tied her long brown hair in a neat bun "You won't last five minutes."

I think now I should clarify the rules of these battles. To yellow bloods face off in an arena. We have to try to avoid killing our opponent, as we just have to get them out of the marked square we're in to be labelled the winner and not have to fight again until the next round. Each yellow blood has one hour and a variety of opponents to try to win one.

"Begin battle in two minutes!" boomed a loud silky voice. So for the next two minutes I pretext my swing (invisibly of course) until the voice once again cried out "begin battle!"

I turned visible and Jasmine and I ran at each other. She swung her knife with me flying up at the last moment.

"Cloudy watch out; she is behind you!" Cried Coco' but it was too late jasmines knife went in my chest my whole body crying out in pain. Spots danced in front of my eyes the pain was over whelming. My natural instincts took over and I turned invisible. Of course Jasmine's dagger was still visible so I pulled it out and gave Jasmine one last push and she went over the line. Turning visible again I discovered much to my surprise and everyone else, I was healing.

"What how did you...." Jasmine yelled in outrage, "How did you live after that?"

"Trust me, I was wondering that myself!" I retort.

But before she answer the silky voice cried "First winner Cloudy Jay Pullman!"

Then before my brain had finished processing the fact that won I was being embraced in a bear hug by Coco who took me home.

"What was that?" Coco said once we got home.

"What?" I reply.

"That! You .....You healed!" Coco said while franticly searching for some old book in the attic. The attic is dark, cold and quite frankly none of us want to go up there so if Coco is going up there by choice things must be serious. I have never been in the attic as it is forbidden for me or Fawn to go up there and I am fine with that.
