Miss Slayer tossed her gold hair aside and smiled at them.
"We meet again" She said, her hazel eyes sparkling with mischief. "Today, we are going to play a game. A game worth two hundred points!"
Their eyes widened in excitement.
Fina, Shelly and Zo glanced at each other, their mind still reeling about Serene.
"Flying is an art on its own. I know I haven't taught you much but The Queen insists we start games with the juniors too. It's important. The Queen orders is a law in itself. We must never disobey her"
Slayer waved her wand and the flying cheetahs appeared.
"All house must compete with one another. You are going to search for the ruby necklace hung on the edge of a cloud. The said cloud won't be disclosed. You get the ruby and put it on the bird of ascergill's neck. You will find him yourself. Be warned. This is not just a bird. It's a magical bird. The fastest and most skilled team will get more points"
They all moved to their cheetahs and climbed on it.
"Can we push and fight?" Nancy Miller asked
"Of course. This is just like war" Miss Slayer replied.
Nancy smirked at Fina.
"It starts… NOW!"
Their cheetahs all surged forward and they all began to fly.
Fina looked down and saw the intermediates watching them.
Her cheetah grunted and she rubbed it's head.
"You know I haven't given you a name. We haven't been properly introduced. I'm Fina and from now on you'll be called "Breeze""
Breeze mouth tilted up in a smile.
"Come on. Let's fly" Fina said
Breeze surged up into the clouds.
Other students fought for space on the clouds.
They pushed and pushed until they fall.
Fina steered clear of them all and looked out for the ruby.
Her cheetah spread it's mighty wings and flew faster.
Fina suddenly felt a presence beside and no one even have to tell her for her to know that it was Nancy Miller and her gangs.
Breeze bared it's teeth and surged more faster. So fast Fina's hair loose completely from her worn pony tail holder.
But Nancy didn't give up.
Fina saw a flash of red on the edge of an higher cloud and without a signal, her cheetah raised forward and catch it with her teeth.
Fina took the ruby necklace from its mouth and raced forward.
Breeze moved so fast in the cloud it was extremely hard for other cheetahs to caught up with her. The distance was exhilarating.
Fina saw the Ascergill from afar and raced to it.
They were moving so fast it was hard to tell her surroundings anymore.
It was like she was in her own world.
She saw the Ascergill looking at her, sitting majestically on a golden cloud with a golden crown on its head. It's wings were beautiful colored.
Fina was just at a little distance to it when she heard a very familiar scream.
A very, very, very, familiar scream.
Her eyes widened in shock.
