A Horrible Flicker

       Crackling could be heard around the room as electricity danced in her hands,  occasionally licking her shoulders, chest, or face. She glared down at the boy who quivered in the presence of such a force. The lights flickered above them as she charged her horrifying light,  it flickered and flashed,  jolts of lightning zipping up and down her arm.
        There peers cheered her on as she closed in on the mousy boy. Week Licks of flame sparked to life in the boys hand, his hand said he would fight but his eyes said he wanted to run. Lightning zoomed towards him and in a split second he jumped up and out of the way of danger. The light zipped back to her as fast as it had fled. The boy ran around the wall of the small areena,  trying desperately to avoid her blows. A nervous spit of fire shot from his hand in the monsterouse girls direction, her head spun around and looked at him and before the fire ball could get near her, a wall of twisting and squirming electricitie formed in front of her,  disinagrating  the flame. The strands of electricitie woven together squirmed like crazy worms. As the wall quickly vanished,  the girl looked at the boy with a devilish look that sent a shiver up his spine and a jolt of lightning reached out for him like a hand. As the spiraling tendrils of light and death shot at him, the seconds felt like hours.  All the hairs on his body stood up at once,  a sharp pinch of crazy fear shot all throughout his body. A memory of a camping trip he went on with his father came to mind.  He almost drowned on the lake. He had the same feeling of fear. So much fear it hurt.  His body tenced. He screamed at his body to move but nothing happens. Move! Move!  He could feel the lights heat now,  as it stretched towards him.  Suddenly he stood, a brief rush of adrenalin courses through him. He took one step when it hit him. The lightning dug it's sharp claws into him,  he screamed with agony. The girl smiled,  satisfied with his pain. The cursed light burned his skin, multiple tiny shocks danced on his skin. He collapses as the light zipped away from him. She stood over his shaking burned body, she chuckled to herself, proud of her easy win. The crowd roared with satisfaction. As she was about to walk away a huge flame ran up her leg,  she screamed and pounded the half dead boy with more electricity. The flames subsided, leaving her a burned leg, and blood on her hands.
