You and Me

I felt the world no longer spinning.

Though, I still felt the cool wind go through my hair into the humid air.

But, I didn't feel cold.

His words repeat in my head, "I demand for a fight."

I stood there, frozen.

Then, slowly, I felt the world again.

I breathed, realizing I held my breath.

I can do this. I thought.

I need to be confident about this.

I looked straight into my fathers eyes and said, "Bring it on."

He smiled.

I could tell that he was satisfied with my reply.

"It's only between you and me, since we both are powerful, even powerful than the Empress and Emperor." He bragged.

I rolled my eyes.

"Oh, please." I said. "I can handle this."

I felt someone behind me.

It was the Emperor.

"Amelia, are you sure-"

"I'm positive." I interrupted.

I had a feeling I was going to win and Liam was the one who'd be defeated.

I smiled when I thought of that.

I looked at everyone's worried faces.

I smiled to reassure them that everything was going to be fine.

They smiled back.

I knew they all were depending on me.

I had to make it right.

"Shall we get started then?" Liam asked.

"Gladly." I replied.

I closed my eyes to feel my power turn on.

This was getting real...
