Betrayal

The sounds of swords going against each other filled the air. Standing in the middle of the circle, a girl turned around and saw her third senior fall to the floor.

"THIRD SENIOR!" the girl screamed while running toward him.

His body fell into her arms, his blood filled her hand and tears flooded across my face.

"Chao Li." a voice from behind said.

The girl turned around facing him after a long time.

"How's my bear? Are you happy?" She asked him with tears in my eyes.

He pointed to his left and she saw Snow being hanged.

"Give up" he said.

"You took everything from me, what else do you want?" She asked.

"Chao Li, don't listen to him.." Third Senior said as he closed his eyes.

More and more tears came falling from her face.

"Don't cry, surrender and tell us how to use the Crystal Bear."

"Qing Han, why did you turn against me? Why did you have to betray me? When we were together, I didn't tell you everything because I knew something was odd. Did you know, you have to keep me alive, if you want to use the bear." the girl said.

Chao Li, the girl took out her sword and was ready to stab herself in the heart until Qing Han held her back.

"Chao Li, you're not gonna die yet. You're very useful to my father so I'm gonna keep you alive."

5 YEARS AGO....

"Emperor Sama, Chao Li is here to see you." Chao Li said.

"Stand up, did you know your family recently died in a fire."

"Yes, I know."

"Do you not have any tears?"

"No, my tears all came out on the day, there's no tears left."

"I like you. Thanks to all your things your family members did I'm gonna grant you a wish."

"Chao Li has one wish. That is to let me participate in the Tan Shang event."

"Tan Shang? The one this is held every 4 years to join Tan Shang Academy?"

"Yes."

"Ok, I agree."

"Thank you, Emperor Sama." Chao Li said as she bowed down.

Chao Li left the court room and went to Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace was a ancient palace where the Queen and King of Crystal Tribe stayed. It was the place where my both of Chao Li's parents died.

4 DAYS AGO....

"FIRE! FIRE! BRING WATER!" A maid shouted.

"Fire?" Chao Li questioned herself.

She ran toward the place where the fire was. She soon found out the Crystal Palace was on fire and her parents lived there. She ran in the palace until soliders held her off.

"LET GO OF ME!" She shouted.

"Ms. Li, you're parents are gonna be ok, don't worry." A solider said.

The soliders released her arms as the fire grew bigger and then Chao Li realized that her parents were not gonna come out of Crystal Palace alive.

One word flew through her mind "Revenge", she had to take revenge to those who put the fire. The fire seemed like it was planned on the hottest day of July, so she promised herself that she was going to take revenge for her family. As the fire cleared away, soliders went in and came out with Chao Li's parents dead body. She looked at her parents and walked away with unsteady steps. Chao Li walked passed Flower Palace and saw a dead flower sourrounded by pretty flowers. She walked toward the dead flower with heavy steps.

"You're just like me." she said.

A ugly flower sourrounded by pretty ones. All of a sudden, her tears fell on the flower and a white gleam went across the sky causing her to close my eyes. The next thing she knew, the ugly flower became a crystal bear. "Crystal Bear isn't it part of the Crystal Tribe? Why is it here in the Flower Palace?" she asked myself.

Snow started to fall from the sky and the bear woke up.

"Since, you don't have a name. I'm gonna name you Snow." She said.

He went into her arms and fell asleep, then snow stopped falling.
