I felt caged. Something or someone was strangling me. A voice whispered in my ears "You've always been pathetic. Little. So small that anyone could crush you like a bug."No I am not." I struggled to set myself free. There was an overwhelming power inside me and I screamed.
Immediately, Jessica woke me up with worry written all over her face, "Jasmine, Jazz? Are you ok?" I sat up straight and looked around. My hands were trembling and I stood up. "You can't be standing. You need to r-" "Rest? " I cut her off. I was beginning to get tired of people looking down on me.
"When is the next training?" I asked. Jessica looked away,"You've been disqualified. Your intolerance of the sight of blood makes you unsuitable."
"And father?He didn't agree. Did he?"
Jessica looked out the window and stood next to me "He hasn't given full word yet."
"I'm going no where." I said with full determination. My heart longed for this moment.
The moment to get out of this rut. But now all of a sudden I was determined to stay.I really did want this but something in me refused to allow myself go out of this College.
I changed my clothes and walked to the door. "Jazz,where are you going?" Jessica's tone was dull of concern.I grinned at her "Training"
"But your weak,you just woke up." I ignored her and walked through the door.
My strides were quick. Maybe too quick that I bumbed into Shawn. I immediately apologized "Sorry. Excu-". "Watch it!" He glared at me.
I retorted "You too. And learn how to be polite while your at it."
There was a hint of shock in his eyes before he quickly replaced it with disgust and walked away.
This definitely wasn't something I would do. Speak back at someone who I found a bit intimidating. Never.
I walking to where everyone else was training.
Sage walked up to me and smirked "Princess finally decided to wake up."
I glared at her before walking past her. I searched for Emerald. Although she put up a fight with me,she was practically nicer than everyone else,so far.
"Jasmine you're here." Emerald came towards me. "Want to spar?" She agreed and we began.
She was tough,it wasn't going to be easy.
The first few minutes were brutal. 'Till she punched my stomach. I felt a rush of adrenaline.
Before I knew it I was on top of her beating her up to a pulp. Crimson and Sage tried their best to stop me but to no avail.
As I looked at her bleeding face held up my fists . I pushed myself off her and run my hands through my hair. "I am so sorry..." I mumbled an apology and quickly left.

"Princess Rose, I thought you would be packing by now? Didn't your sister tell you that we as the board decided to disqualify you?" A deep voice said and I turned around to meet Dane's gaze.
.
"How do you know my second name? And "We"? Who is we ?" He caught my attention using something other than his looks.
"Yes, we. I'm a leader of one of the 3 divisions in one of the three courts. Leader of division one. Well letbmw break it down because judging by your look you seem rather confused. We have 3 courts. Court of Scriptures, Court of Sorcery and magic and then this court. The court of Dragon riding. Three divisions in our court. Each division learns different things. Division one bases on attack. Division two on support and Division three on defense. But why am I explaining this to you when you've already been disqualified? "
I looked at him intensely as he explained and once he was done, I scoffed "You can't disqualify me that easily. I won't leave. I'm staying and next time any of you tries to tell me that I don't belong here, I will cut off your tongue." I said the last statement with lots of confidence but it all came crumbling down when Dane laughed in my face.
To admit..he did look more handsome when he smiled . What are you thinking about Jasmine. Get a grip. He isn't that good looking.
"You- I will prove myself. Stop laughing!" I mumbled.
He looked at me as if he was sizing and let our a sigh "some confidence you've got therw kid. But sorry the decision has already been made."
He continued to look at me as if amused by me or maybe intrigued. But behind that laugh,behind that calmness,i could see anger in his eyes. I didn't understand how,but i sensed there was more to it than just...him.
