RE-introducing ourselves (Private to Alexander)

Zin stepped out into the forest. She left a note on her big brother's bunk, wanting another rematch. The arena incident was too hectic and crowded for her taste. At least now, they were alone, and she's planning on something. "Where are you?" she tapped her foot impatiently and leaned against a tree. She was hyped up for something to happen, just not sure what.

"You think I'd fall for that huh?" she asked, chuckling a bit. Who was predator, and who was prey? "Well, you might have to think twice. I wasn't cabin leader for nothin'" she said, not leaving her spot under the shady tree.

"Not really." she said, standing still, relaxed and calm. she had a taste of his magic, and for a time, built up a defense system for his mind tricks. "I'd rather have you make the first move." she said casually. A burning smell reached her nose, and she would've panicked if it weren't comming from around her, as the air crackled with static again.

But the thing about Zin is, she's unpredictable. As the clone behind her made a motion to attack, she wasn't there anymore. Instead, she was behind him, shadow traveling, sword ready and poised to attack. "As I said, no more games. It's just you and me." she muttered. Bringing the sword to where it's heart should've been.

Zin tried to wriggle out of the clone's grasp, as he held on to her head. " You're. Not. Defeating. Me." she growled at him, as he came in for an attack. She wriggled, squirmed and tried to beat the heck out of the clone to release her to no prevail. and as Sam came for the easy punch, she did what she thought of first. Shadow Travel. Even with her decreasing energy, she still managed to shadow travel up the tree, into the safe branches of the forest. "Now that wasn't nice." she snarled at him as he saw him make a round house kick.

"That's it, you're dead." she growled, as she jumped into a higher branch. The clone hit the air where she was supposed to be, and Zin jumped on it's back, and having the desired effect of it landing on the ground. She grabbed a branch right before she fell off the tree and pulled herself up. Light, swift and speedy, you'd better not count her out just yet. She jumped down, light on her toes and began to muster her powers. Earth she thought and spikes in the ground appeared. Sharp, pointy dirt spikes grew 6 feet tall from the earth in Sam's side.

"Or we could have you drop dead on the ground." she said, leaping from tree to tree, like a gymnist. She held her sword down, knowing whatever Sam got in his sleeves are nasty tricks. If she chose to pick a fight with hand to hand combat. She knows she'll lose. Or he'll just cheat anyways. So it was better for her to pick the other one, where she knows something about clones. They were mindless. As long as Sam wasn't thinking about a certain clone, they were inferior to her. Zin, finally reaching neaar Sam, stood straight on a branch and waved her sword teasingly. "It's your call." she says, grinning innocently.

Zin jumped. "How about playing fair." she added snidely. Oh yeah, she was angry, but she kept her emotions in the back of her head. Zin dived down to her brother, sword ready and eyes alert. She lunged next, countering him with a sword slashed horizontally in his torso area. "Yeah, you could do that I guess." she said, wrinkling her nose.

Zin twisted her body in mid air, landing on the ground on all fours. "well, for one, you'd have to know what fair means." she spat at his feet. As he came down for the cheap shot, she rolled over to her side, the crackling air following her. zin jumped to her feet, sword still in her hand and lunged at her busy brother, aiming her sword for his torso.
