I transformed and waited for her to do something. Jumping on the spot, she suddenly moved and blasted me with her pink light, hitting me in the torso. I bent over from the hit. Oh that hurts, so bad.
“Focus, Kasadya,” Chax advised from behind me. Yeah, easy for you to say she isn’t your petite little roommate, and one of only two friends you have here. Bringing myself up straight again, she was in the air and moving toward me. I just stepped to the side at the last moment, and she flew into Chax and Seth, taking them with her. I just stood there smiling; payback is so much fun. They got up and Chax looked at me with anger rolling all over his face, Seth just smiled and helped Nanini up. She shook her head and then returned to the circle, and we started the whole thing again. And we kept it up for a while; me avoiding her the entire time without even trying to attack her once.
“Okay girls, that’s it for the day,” Seth said from the side and we stopped, Nanini dropping to the ground totally wasted. She had given her everything to try and hit me and it didn’t work out too well for her. At least she had no adrenalin left.
“Come on,” I said, walking over to her and offering my hand to help her up.
“That was so unfair; you kept dodging me the whole time,” she complained, as she grabbed my hand and I pulled her up.
“I said no way in hell I’ll hurt you, I meant it,” I replied, and patted her on the back. I turned around only to see Chax walking away from us. I looked at Seth who just pulled up his shoulders.
“I am so not getting into his good books anytime,” I said, and walked over to Seth with Nanini dragging behind me. We walked slowly back to the house and helped Nanini all the way to the zone, where she planted herself on the couch.
“I see my Apprendo doesn’t have an adrenalin disorder for the rest of the day. Something new for you to discover,” Seth told her, as we stood there looking at adrenalin Nanini, now totally wasted. She just remained still without any comeback.
“Mind if Kas and I leave you here to get back your spunk?” Seth asked her, looking at me with a smile.
“No you can go, I’m not moving here for a long while,” she replied from beneath her arm, which was lying over her head.
Motioning for me to follow him, we left and walked down the hall that leads to the front lobby . “She needed that, thanks Kas,” Seth said .
“Yeah, I’d rather waste her adrenalin before I hurt her like Nina,” I replied, smiling back.
“You interested in a walk in the gardens?” he asked, gesturing to a door when we reached it.
“Didn’t even know we had any,” I answered, laughing a little, and walked out the door with him. Outside was a beautiful garden with fountains and statues to top it off. I walked over to the red roses and held one in my hand without breaking it off. So beautiful, with a drop of water on a petal to give it that extra spark.
“So what do you think? It’s Vulcan’s hobby,” he said, moving his hand over the scene.
“No way in hell, Vulcan?”
“Yes, unbelievable but he is quite the artist when it comes to gardens. Like your mother, his ability is earth, so he can basically turn the whole garden around in one day.”
“So that’s how my mom got to be a landscape specialist, no wonder.” But thinking back, our own garden was always perfect. It was her special place to wander around in.
“You should have seen her and Vulcan fighting here every night, the one moving in on the other’s creation. We used to come and sit here to watch them fight and try to out best each other.”
“I can imagine that, my mom is always right no matter what, and I think Vulcan is the same from what I have seen so far.”
“Oh yes, it’s a specialty in the earth fae; just like vampires they have developed a personality to fit the job and in this case its stubbornness,” he replied, laughing. We stopped at the fountain and I turned to look at him. He came
