My arms and thighs were burning from the intense work-out i'm currently doing with Austin and Madeline. We're in the boxing gym, filled with the chosen's that are training for their next trials.

Jabs after jabs, I ignored the painful sting that burned my arm and continued to push myself to my limits. Dad had thought me a lot and I appreciate it— deeply.

Ever since that little swirl of a black mark appeared on my arm, i've been wearing nothing but long sleeved shirts that covered my body. Even if Madeline and the rest notices, they chose to not to comment about it.

" Alright, assemble!" Kane shouted after whistling and we obeyed obediently.

" Today, we will spar against each other. I've already assigned the names, no changing is supposed to be done because this sparring is graded," He spoke loudly as he go through his clip board. My eyes flitted throughout the gym and I spotted a glass window that seems to be tinted.

Why would it be tinted?

" First round, Arabella and Kasey," My eyes snapped to Kane's mocking ones and I knew that he had some sort of grudge on me. Discreetly rolling my eyes, I walked towards the square box and waited until a Kasey appear in front of me.

Kasey is tall, with a slender built and pixie cut blonde hair. A smirk adorning her flawless face as she eyed me as if i'm edible.

She doesn't look like a Kasey to me; she looks like a Mandy kind of girl.

" Remember the rules, no killing, no playing dirty just spar," Austin said out loud and assess her with a bored looking face.

She's tall, so i'll need to use my height as an advantage. Considering she's more on the slim side, i'm pretty sure I can outrun her with my fast reflexes. The smirk on her face widen when she realised that i'm too small for her.

Oh I'll show you what this little body can do.

" Begin," Kane yelled and I watch as she stood there, both her hands up.

Getting into my stance, I scrutinised her and realised one thing. She rely on only her right side, which gave me the advantage because I am adaptable to both sides. Her fist shoot out and I ducked, her smirk faltering a little.

Clenching my fist, I circled her and she shot out again but this time using her long legs. My knees went up to block her bare feet and it hit my knee cap while I use both my hands to grab onto her ankle and twist her until she fell like a sack of potatoes on the mat.

She glared at me with full intensity and we circled each other again. Deciding to attack, I use my speed and shoot my legs out, ducking and knocking her off her feet.
