Chapter thirtytwo~
“Up!” He shouted urgently, but I was too shocked from his last sudden attack to move. I was quickly hit by a fairy-made gust of wind right in the chest. I was winded within seconds and when I opened my eyes after a short blink I was on the floor.
“I told you to bring your hands up!” Eelii wailed and fell to his knees. He looked at me with a glint of worry shining in his eyes, but the expression on his face was clearly disappointment. I rubbed my arms and sighed.
“I know! But I can’t do it!” I moaned, pulling myself up. “I’m not like you. I wasn’t brought up learning how to fight. This is all new to me.”
Eelii was stood opposite me again and he readied his hands to attack again. I mentally groaned.
“All the more reason for you to try harder.” His hands were flung into the air.
“I am trying-” The ton of water fell onto me like a pile of bricks. I fell to the floor again and lay my back down. The water seeped through my clothing and sent a chill down my back but Eelii didn’t look guilty. I bit my lip and contemplated whether to try and get him back. He’d just soaked me.
I flung my hands up from by my sides to in front of me in the air. I focused all my sense on Eelii and getting water, hoping this would work.
“Argh!” He squealed. I didn’t look but I knew the water had hit him, and hit him hard. Maybe not as hard as it had hit me but still… hard.
Eelii rolled over to me and planted a kiss on my cheek, a nice soaking wet kiss.
I laughed and pushed him away.
Eelii was fun. I’d give him that. He never seemed to take anything seriously until I needed him to. He might not be the best teacher or the most amazing person in the universe but he was perfect right now. And he would be perfect until the day I’d enter the arena.
No one would be perfect in my eyes then. Not Eelii. Not Leo.
It was the only way.
“You know, if it comes to it and you have no other choice,” Eelii was suppressing a laugh, “You could smother Leo in love and kill him that way.”
I laughed awkwardly, because smothering Leo with love was all I wanted to do right now.
Eelii noticed how my body tensed and I suddenly happened to be so interested in the amount of grass growing under my palm. His little giggle died down and he rolled onto his back so he was looking at the sky too.
He wouldn’t talk to me now about Leo. He knew that it’d only end in an argument. And we both knew that we couldn’t afford an argument right now.
“Right. Back to training. Can I try fire now?” I suddenly jumped up. Eelii didn’t move though, he seemed to be concentrating on the clouds. I had to nudge his motionless body a few times before he responded.
“You want to play with fire?” He raised an eyebrow at me and rose to his feet cautiously.
“Yes. The Trys know how to use fire so I need to know how too.” I nodded and swayed slightly on my feet. Eelii looked at me curiously but he didn’t argue. “Fight fire with fire.”
In his hands, a tiny flicker of fire started to jiggle around.
Every few seconds it would grow, bigger and bigger until it was a ball of heat surrounding his hands.
“Is it burning you?” I gasped, not managing to see his hands anymore because of the flames. Eelii stared at the fire and took a while to respond.
