Chapter 3-Maven Against The World

*Maven POV*

"Little lightning girl. I will find you. I will finish the Scarlet Guard. Tiberas, I will kill you too. I will avenge our father's death. Show yourselves to me at the Lakelander border tomorrow at noon or I make conscription include apprentices. Show yourselves unless you are cowards. To my citizens, help me find the Scarlet Guard and rid the country of their evil."

*Cal POV*

Somewhere in the Rift, the prince roars. "I have to go." Leaving a trail of black footprints behind him, he marches off to meet Maven and his fate.

*Mare POV*

"I wanted him to challenge me and he has. He's just let himself in for a treat.""Guys, hide yourselves far away, Maven can't find you. In case I get caught, move out."

The Colonel nodded; he would protect the Guard at all costs.

"I. Will. Kill. Maven."

< >

With that, she marched off, the sky turning darker above her head.

***********

<12:00 -Lakelander Border>

*Maven POV*

I see the signs before I see her. She's angry. The sky is black and she's just appeared theough the trees. She stands across the glade, glaring her signature glare. It still burns. Ironic really as i'm the one that can burn.

Oh and here's Cal. He took everything from me. Everything. So I took everything from him; except he took Mare from me.

I may as well incinerate them both.

*Mare POV*

He stands there in another silly crown. When will he learn that to be powerful he has to look powerful. The other Calore brother is here as well. I will *not* talk to either of them. They both betrayed me and ditched me in their own ways. Brothers are brothers no matter how different they are on the outside; they're the same on the inside.

"You came." He talks softly, reminding me yet again of the boy I thought I knew. But that boy is gone and I must remember that. 

The other brother can't even look me in the eye. Maven can sense the tension between us; a tension I will soon make ripple with electricity. I'm here to fight, not negotiate. The Scarlet Guard are safely over the border; if for some reason I don't make it, they definitely will.

"Yes I did," my voice is cold and unflinching "I'm not here for negotiation." I let the words sink in before I pulled my first bolt out of the sky. It webbed around Maven, trapping him in a cage of electricity. He didn't look scared, instead he started smirking. 

He reached out a hand and turned my lightning into fire which flew at me. I ducked as Cal stole it from Maven. As we dueled our abilties grew as we unsnapped the restaints we had  put on ourselves. The ground turned cracked and muddy from my lightning splitting the earth and the Calore princes' fire burning it. 

I saw a chance whilst Maven had his back turned to me, trading blows with Cal. Treading carefully on the now destroyed ground; I wrapped my fingers around his neck and stunned him. He collapsed in my arms unconscious. Guess he forogt his plastic. Rookie mistake really. Now I had another prisoner.

Turning my back on Cal without saying a word, I marched away dragging Maven with me. He didn't say a word either nor did he try and stop me. He knew how pissed I was because the sky was still black. I didn't look back as I croseed the border.

*Third Person*

If Mare had of looked back at Cal, she would of seen the single tear that ran down the side of his face. It fell to the ground, burning. Taking one last look at her, he walked back to the other Silvers. 

Lightning and Fire met again. Lightning and Fire walked away, one pissed, one sad but both hurt.
