Rise and Fall- The Fight Inside

Without a Struggle

Olivia laid, chest heaving on the ground. 

"Where is he!?" Arielle screamed, poiting the blaster in Olivia's face. 

"He... is dead." Olivia muttered with a smirk. 

"That's it. I hate you and I always have." Arielle stated.

"You wouldn't dare. You have the devil in you, Arielle!" Olivia yelled.

"Oh no, mother. I'm an angle, I swear. The horns are the only way to hold up the halo.  I'm going to give you one last chance. You are either on my side or in my way, chose wisely." Arielle raised her voice. 

"Your father is dead. I killed him myself." Olivia laughed. 

"One thing you should know- I was born with a heart, a fire in my soul, and no intentions to keep you alive. " Arielle dared as she kicked Olivia.

The blow was so hard, it sent Olivia into the air, flying high. As she reached the peak of her flight, Arielle fired the blaster six times, sending Olivia plumting to the ground in a dead heap.  Arielle smiled and walked away. 

"What happend?" Bailey asked, concerded after hearing the fire.

"Justice." Arielle told with confidence.

Bailey shook her head and continued to help Ryland.

"Is Ryland going to be okay?" Arielle questioned with anger and concern.

"His back is broken, he has a concusion, and his powers are going to weakened for a little while." Reagan explained. 

"Reagan, I need your help to take him inside." Bailey stated.

"Watch out, I got this." Arielle instructed.

She bent down, scooping Ryland up and holding him in her arms.

"Arielle, be careful. Keep in mind his back is broken." Bailey reminded her.

"Got it, can you open the door please?" Arielle acknoledged. 

Reagan watched in question as Bailey opened the door and Arielle carried Ryland without any struggle. 

"Put him down in his bed." Bailey told Arielle.

"Alright." Arielle asnwered.

She walked inside and kicked open the door gently. She sat Ryland down on the bed and dusted off her hands. Bailey walked in followed by Reagan with a weird expression on both on their faces.

"What?" Arielle noticed.

"You don't have powers like Ryland, right?" Bailey questioned.

"Nope." Areile answered honestly.

"Then how did you carry Ryland inside and throw Olivia around without any struggle. You are extremly strong for a girl." Reagan pointed out.

"I don't have powers like Ryland but I never said I couldn't do anything." Areille remarked sarcastically .

"What exactly can you do?" Bailey chimed in.

"As you said, I am strong but you forgot independant and charming." Arielle teased.

"Cut the crap and answer the question." Bailey demanded.

"Ha. I have strength and I can move things with my mind." Arielle snapped. 

"Thank you, finally." Bailey scoffed. 

Arielle rolled her eyes and sat down in the chair next to Ryland's bed. 

She stared at Ryland's lymp body.

"How long until he wakes up?" Arielle asked in a snippy tone.

"I don't know! Do I look like a docotor to you?" Bailey yelled.

Arielle stood up. She was a few inches taller than Bailey. She raised her head, emphazizing her height as dominance.

"Sit yourself down and let's have a talk." Bailey demanded, shoving Arielle.

"How about you take a short walk off a long bridge." Arielle argued, shoving Bailey back.

"Don't touch me!" Bailey screamed.

Arielle laughed and cocked her head, shoving Bailey again and again. 

"I said enough!" Baileu shrieked reached a hand up and slapping Arielle across the face.

It was an instant regret for Bailey. She knew she had gone too far this time. Arielle lifted her hand and held it over her cheek. Her blood boiled. She wanted os badly to slam Bailey through the wall but she knew Reagan nor Ryland would be too happy about that. 

"I'm sorry. I'm going to go help Reagan  gather some suplies. Update me on his condition." Bailey murmured.

Arielle was done playing nice guys. She reached out and grabbed Bailey's arm and pulled her closer.

"Do I look like a doctor to you?" she whispered intimidatingly into Bailey's ear.

"I told you not to touch me. My brother might love you but there is nothing keeping you alive besides him- so if I were you, I would watch out because I don't feel the same way about you as my brother. You will find we don't share the same amount of kindness." Bailey threatened as she pulled her arm free from Arielle's hold. 

Arielle stepped back, leaving Bailey some space to open the door and leave. Arielle closed the door behind her and returned to the chair. 

"Geez, Ryland. You sister is a total a-" Arielle paused as Reagan opened the door.

"mazing person." Arielle covered up as Reagan came in with some medical suplies.

"Let mem know when your done. I don't want to crowd the room or anything." Arielle stated as she left the room. She closed the door behind herself and stood outside the room to the right.  She put her head against the wall and looked up at the ceiling. 

"This is going to be a long day." she muttered as Bailey turned down the hall.

She glared at Bailey who glared back at her. The two exchanged no words but instead looks. Bailey smirked as she opened the door, still glaring at Arielle.

"What is going on with you and Arielle?" Reagan asked Bailey behind the closed door.

This peeked Arielle's attention. She turned and put her hip on the wall. She cupped her ear and laid her head against the wall, listenting in on what Reagan and Bailey were going to say about her. 

"I just can't see Ryland and Arielle together. She is so arrogant and full of herself. Not to mention she tried to corner me. She is not good for Ryland if you ask me. Ryland needs to find a girl more... laid back and delecate." Bailey told Reagan.

"Someone like you?" Reagan asked.

"Sure, why not?" Bailey returned the question.

"She tells Reagan that he brother needs a girl more like her and I'm the arrogant one."  Arielle mocked. 

She turned back around to the position she was in beofore and pretended to be asleep after she heard Reagan and Bailey approach the door. 

"Oh, hey Arielle. Didn't know you were out here." Bailey teased.

"You little bit-" Arielle started, being cut of Reagan.

"Watch your mouth, Arielle." Reagan interupted.

"Witch." Arielle finished.
