quick as lightning

41. Another broken nose

Piper was training alone, having her Parabatai getting over a yen fin and vampire venom addiction. Piper had spent her day comforting the girl but Izzy has forced her to leave and go train.

Tilting her head she thought about what her mother had said, more of what she had done. Like a holograph she extended her hand, three afterimages forming. She separated the three so she was looking at herself three more times.

"Wow, is this really what I look like right now?" I chuckled, the three others smirking.

"We always look good." The middle one tossed her hair.

"Everyday." The left ones hand held a blade which she twirled.

"Everywhere." The right one held an axe.

I simply smirked, holding my own two zig zagged silver blades, blue runes glowing. The three of them came at me, and I busted into fighting the three of them at once. Once I disarmed the first one she vanished, I felt stronger. The third one created a force field and I slid back wincing, and then sent out a kick shattering the field before dissarming her and my hand absorbing my other fragment.

"Hand go hand?" My last fragment offered, throwing her weapon down along with me.

"I'd be honored." I chuckled before we started the dance of punches and kicks before I was pinned by my arm to my back. I kneed her in the back flipping up and swiping her legs out. After I had her pinned she sighed before I 'absorbed' her.

I grinned standing from my squatted position. My high waisted leather shorts showing a strip of skin before my pale green spaghetti strapped tank top. My neck which was usually adjourned by my angelic rune with fake ruby was now missing ever since they used the stone to shake me from my trance.

I calmed my mind, my body and my heart before slashing into the air with my sword, thunder rumbling as I did so. My slashing had after images as I did my round house kick. Throwing my blades into the wall I reached for my bow and fired an arrow, one after another hitting the lightbulbs that illuminated the courtyard. Now only the moon hidden by the clouds light up the area giving the place a silvery glow.

Sighing I stretched out before Alec and Jace walked over to probably train. "Don't throw yourself out." I called to nobody in particular.

"Your awfully cocky." Jace chuckled as I sat on the bench watching them talk and train with two axes in hand each. I leaned on the column watching them train.

"So what's this angel blood do for you?" Alec asked blocking Jace before going into offense.

"Other than powering up the sword?" Jace asked. "Nothing." He shrugged and I shook my head.

"Clary can create new tunes, Piper has lightning, you've got to have something." Alec responded and Jace chuckled.

"Other than kicking your ass? Got another round in you?"

I'll admit, watching them spar was hot. But I would never ever say that to them to boost Jaces ego. Alec 'won' then won a second time. They spoke of Clary and Jace which perked my intrest. Quick as a blink of an eye I disarmed Jace before disarming Alec too.

"So you did tell her right?" I asked blocking jaces swing before dodging under Alec's kick.

"You both seem awfully worried about my love life." Jace said pinning Alec with his arm and myself with his leg. Almost at the same time Alec and I switched and he pinned Jace before I pinned him.
