BOOM!
841Please respect copyright.PENANAA27jOHnCUo
A fire ball was thrown against a tree outside in a once peaceful meadow. It was quickly fizzled out by a blast of ice, leaving a smoky patch on the trunk.

"What is your problem?" Came a shrilled shrieking voice.
841Please respect copyright.PENANAhekcq4j1rR
"You are, you brat!" Came a voice in reply, matching the shriek.
841Please respect copyright.PENANAv3Af6jaj6j
"You started this you fire breathing cow!" The shrieks becoming shouts.

"Oh, is the ice princess getting angry 'cos she's not getting her way?" Came the sarcastic retort.
841Please respect copyright.PENANAg6U7NygQzz
Another scream and a wave of ice flew out, quickly caught by a wave of fire. Steam rose from the impact.

"If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen." Lina turned her back on Rylai and walked away.

"I'm not done with you yet!" Shrilled Rylai in a last attempt to gain back some dignity.
841Please respect copyright.PENANAnXqNVmy0RG
Lina stopped and slowly turned around, a perfect arch in her eyebrow and a smirk to match. "Wanna play with fire?" Rylai faltered under the hot stare, knowing that she was no match for her sister. "Thought so." Said Lina in a scoff and returned to her walk of pride.

"Hellfire bitch...." Rylai mumbled to herself and went off to the stream nearby to sulk quietly.

"It's not fair!" Rylai said to herself while she watched the fish in the stream, lazily zig-zagging back and forth, enjoying the peacefulness of the water. "Lina always thinks she can push me around because she's the oldest. I would be just as strong as her if I were the same age." Her bottom lip quivering, her eyes threatening with tears. She hated that two years could make such a difference, and being sixteen was still not enough to be considered old enough. She refused to accept that she would always be seen as a child in Lina's eyes.

"Hot-headed cow..." She mumbled again,wiping the stray tears that fell on her cheek. She glanced back at the fishes and wished more than anything in the world that she could join them in the cool refreshing water to get out of the heat of Spring but knew better. Even a single finger in the water when she is emotional would cause the whole stream to freeze over.

She loved the colours Spring always brought. All the butterflies fluttering around her and the birds singing and just the harmony of it all, but she just couldn't stand the heat. She only went outside during these times if there was a cool breeze to keep the heat from brushing her skin. She detested heat almost as much as she detested Lina, but even then that was a close second.

"I wish things would be different." Thought Rylai quietly to herself. "A world without Lina would be perfect. No more fighting, no more fires, and more appreciation from Mom and Dad..."

Lina couldn't help but laugh quietly to herself. She loved it when she got her sister all steamed up. As she strode back to the cottage that they stayed in, she took a minute to appreciate the midday sun, enjoying the warmth on her skin. It was recently that Winter had died down and Lina was thankful she didn't have to deal with anymore snow or ice. She would always make sure the cottage was nice and warm and that there was always a log on the fire she had made, but had to keep her cool whenever Rylai would start with her whining.

"It's too hot in here! What are you trying to do, boil us alive?"
841Please respect copyright.PENANA0IkGJtXbE5
Lina would just sigh, the same argument over and over again. "I'm trying to keep us from freezing to death, if you don't mind."
841Please respect copyright.PENANA1AZtE7RyXw
Rylai would cross her arms in the start of a tantrum and pout. "Well I can't stand the heat, it's suffocating."
841Please respect copyright.PENANAQjGIOeWbPz
Lina fought the shadow of an evil smile from her face. "Breath in deeper, maybe you'd finally shut up for good."
841Please respect copyright.PENANAVKV4uouMd6
Rylai would start getting insulted, as usual. "I'm gana tell Mom and Dad! you can't talk to me like that."
841Please respect copyright.PENANAgswNxfqPdf
"Why not? All you are is an annoying little brat. There is no other way to treat you. So if you don't stop complaining, I'll lock you outside and you can spend the night with your beloved snow." And Lina would turn her back on her.
841Please respect copyright.PENANAtfPzBE6mXP
With the tears welling up in Rylai's eyes, she would try her best to put on a brave face but always walked away in shame.
841Please respect copyright.PENANAXVaieOBWM4
Lina felt the smile playing at the corners of her mouth as she remembered the defeated face of her sister. She had no time for immaturity and sure as hell didn't have time for her sister. She would much rather see the world burn than have to be nice to her younger sibling.

Besides, she had to stay the favourite child way or the other.
