I was dragged back to the lady's office.

"You think you can just spy and sneak in this school, without me noticing?" Everything about her displayed her anger, from her raised voice, to holding me against the wall. The only exception was her emotionless expression which somehow displayed a murderous intent. The already cold room got colder, "Who sent you?" My breath began condensing in the air.

"I wasn't sen..." I spoke quickly but was still interrupted .

"You had no reason to be with the servants, other than to have free access to the castle." She pushed me harder against the wall. "Why are you here?"

"I don't know." I speak truthfully. But the cold feels like it's biting at my skin. She, however, looks like the cold doesn't affect her. I summon my spirit, causing a small ball of flame to hover next to me. The room slightly warms. She looks at the small flickering ball of flames in surprise. She steps back releasing me. I fall to the ground.

A coldness radiated from my heart. I look up to see a snake of clear ice coiled around her gloved arm holding the fire ball in its jaws. "The last time i saw you, you were willing to die before revealing youself. But are you willing to endure?" I try and will the flames back to me, instead the snakes jaws closed slightly causing the fire to grow dimmer and my entire body tingle in pain. "Why were you sent here?" Her voice is becoming more insistent.

"I dont know." I rolled on to my feet and lunged at the snake on her arm, one hand wrapping around the snake sending a burning sensation down my arm, one hand reaching for the fire, making it dissappear on touch. I looked back at the lady, only to see a fist strike my head.
