The Dark Hour

--------Layla--------

I tried to dodge Valerie's attacks as good as possible, but she was too fast more than she normally is. Something is wrong she's pissed about something.

Did Riker bring up her family again? I swear he needs to stop talking about it. I summoned my vines and caught her foot but she just burnt them which hurt me in the process. I hissed in pain and jumped from her attacks.

"Valerie are you okay? You seem pissed?" I quickly asked dodging another attack while holding my arm. "And would you go easy you know I'm not as strong as you!" She stopped then sighed.

"Sorry, Riker just- Ugg!! He keeps tr- pretending that he found my lost brother and it's ticking me off. My parents already looked for him everywhere and couldn't find him. I highly doubt he would be here anyways," She said sitting down. I sighed and moved my green hair out of my face.

"You never know Val, it might be him whoever you're talking about. I wish Cas let me go with you guys on whatever you did. What did you do?" I asked curiously.

"We were supposed to help train a newbie with his magic, except all I was told was don't use your magic against him. He was using water magic so I used my fire magic and I burnt his arm and Castiel got upset with me. I told him I was sorry and Riker went on a rant about how we looked really similar. Honestly if Riker wanted me to believe him he should've used someone with fire magic. I think my twin would use the same magic as me and not the opposite."

"You never know Val just cause you have a twin doesn't mean you will use the same element. You two could be totally different that's why you could use different elements."

"I don't know. I bet he's with Castiel anyways learning how to use his element anyways. He probably won't want to see me again after the great first impression I left." I laughed.

"You never make a good first impression Val." I sighed. "I'm going to see Hannah, I need to get medicine for this burn."

"What? Oh shit, I didn't realize- I'll go with you." I nodded and we stood up.

"Did you forget that if my vines get hurt or anything that I make, I get hurt in the process?" I asked walking away. She quickly caught up with me.

"Yeah, it's been awhile since we sparred. I'm usually sparring with Riker since I can't really hurt him. And I always thought air was a useless element."

"Yeah the air element is very useful, and I've been working in the garden most of the time. That's why we haven't really sparred for awhile, meaning I need to check on that tree." I mumbled the last part.

"You can check on your plants after we go see Hannah. Are you sure she even has burn treatment? I mean Gabriel is the one that runs the med bay." I smacked myself in the forehead.

"Damn it! I'm always forgetting that! Sorry I'm still kinda getting use to everything. I mean I've only been here for three months."

"I've been here for about two years now. It's fine, you remember where it is right?"

"I believe so. It's past Hannah's department right?"

"No, it's right next to Castiel's. I'll lead the way." I hung my head low I need to start remembering these things. It's only been a few months, but I need to become stronger to get revenge from the demon that killed my parents. I was lucky to find Castiel in the woods, since then I made friends give it take only Valerie and Riker.

"Hey I didn't tell you about what the newbie did to Zach did I?" Valerie asked. I quickly looked up at her.

"Newbies? When did we get newbies?" I asked a bit confused.
