I went under and hit his back with my foot. He stumble forward and shot a ray at me. I flipped out of the way and sent a sonic wave at him. He flew back and hit the wall.

  I stood tall as he came at me once again. He sprung into the air and I joined him. We both did an attack and landed on the opposite side we had started from. I stood up as he fell to his knees. I smile as I had jabbed the butt of my dagger into his side. I turned around with my arm hurting from him jamming his sword’s hilt into it. I walked over to him and put my dagger up to his throat again.

“I win,”I said with a smile,”Also that was with the extra power Clark.”

“That hurt you know,”He said taking my hand I had held out to him,”But you are good at that matter.”

“You been practicing haven't you,”Kevin said.

“Time is in my hand,”I said with a smile.

  He gave me a smile before telling Clark to put the source up. I was about to handed my daggers back but he told me not yet. I looked at him as he got his staff. I tapped the silver orb and the extra power stopped. He took Clarks mark and went into the same stance as Clark. I took mine and was confused on what he was going to do.

  Clark gave the order and Kevin came at me. I spent to the side as he went to hit me. I turned and knock his staff out of his hand. It landed five feet away from us and I faced him. I went low and tripped him. I went to pin him but he had rolled over to the staff. He stood in front of me spinning it. He shot out a ray and I dive out of the way. I rolled over and took my stance on one knee as I thought of a new tactic.

  He ran toward me and I came up with the perfect one. I stood up and hit the tip of the staff with my dagger. He flew over me and hit the wall. I hurried and kicked the staff away. I Pushed my dagger to his throat in hope I was done. Right before Clark could call it he flipped us so I was on buttom. My daggers skitted across the floor a good ten feet away. I looked up to see his staff as right next to my hand.

  He was going to say something but I took the staff and pushed him off of me. He went backwards and I put the staff to the middle of his chest. I heard a gasp as I realise that I had just won. I back up as Kevin motioned to me to. He stood up and gave me a hug.

“Just like your father,”He said overjoyed,”There is always a way to be victories in the battle. I’m proud of you and I know your father would be as well, Alicia. You have earned your way to the guardian of time. Never let anyone tell you other wise.”

“Yes Guardian Kevin Maxwell,”I said handing him the staff,”It was an honor to fight against you.”

“No the honor is all mine,”He said,”Now go and enjoy yourself for a little while with your friends.”

   I nodded and ran over to them. I took Luke’s hand and we all ran to the room I was in. I opened the door and let out a laugh.

Running Again

 “I can’t believe you won,”Mason said,”That had to have been hard.”

“It was,”I said honestly,”I can’t believe I won either. I honestly thought I was done for.”

   We sat in my room with Luke and me on the bed as we talked. I was enjoying being there with them when Clark ran in out of breath. He looked at me and I saw what was going on. I grabbed my things and ran out with the others. I sat them down as the daggers I had used came to my hands. I looked and saw two from the Mangs.

“Tic Toc Dickery Doc,”The older one said,”The guardian ran up the clock. The clock struck one and the guardian was done.”

“That is really old,”I said walking up,”The time puns are my thing.”

“Well how about you give it over then we can go,”He said pointing to his son, I guess,”And you can have your brother back.”

   At that Jasper walked in pulling Marcus up by a rope. I felt anger boil inside me but remain an emotionless face. I faced them and thought of all the ways that this could end as. I saw the future attacks and the lost of the source. I also couldn’t attack a human unless I was attacked first.

“Time to give up time Alicia,”Jasper said,”This is easier than you think.”

“For time you must pass my riddle,”I said evilly,”Do you accept these terms?”

“What’s the stupid riddle?”Jasper spat at me,”I was told that there was no test to get it.”

“What has the IQ of  TRex but still knows how to run the world. What is the only thing none of us can hold but it holds us. It can’t be seen but only on the wall. No matter how hard you try to stop it, it will run forever,”I said making it up as I go,”It can run in many directions at once. Life is said to be centered around it. What is the answer to my riddle, Jasper?”

  He turned to his family and I saw Marcus give off a laugh. He mouthed time to me as I gave a nodded. I was doing this to buy us some extra also I thought it would be funny to watch them try and figure it out. Luke walked up beside me and gave a laugh.

“It is obvious on what it is,”He whispered to me.

“I know but they don’t,”I whispered back pointing to them,”If they get it right I’m going to stop it and we will run. If they don’t get it right the same thing will apply for it.”

  He nodded and went to tell our friends. I watched as Jasper struggled to get an answer out of thin air. I looked at them with a smile as Kevin took the light source and hid it around his neck for safekeeping. I turned to the group as they were almost laughing.

“Do you have my answer or not?”I said sweetly.

“It is many things,”Jasper said looking proud of himself,”Air, water, and all the other elements. So hand it over girly.”

“Sorry that is really wrong and kinda sad,”I said getting my things from Clark,”It was right there and you still got it wrong.”

“Then what is it stupid girl,”The older man snapped at me.

“Tic Toc Dickery Doc the Mang ran up the clock,”I said putting my daggers up,”The clock struck twelve, the Mang had failed. It was time idiot.”

   I froze time around them but not my friends. I turned to them and we started our journey to the next temple. It was four hundred miles away and I really was going to have a time with this one. We started to walk to the next temple in the ring. I always thought that it was like the ring of fire.

“Where to now?”Mickey said,”Who are going to see next on this route?”

“Four hundred miles east,”I said pointing in the direction,”To the Earth guardians. They really don’t like me to much for the whole me being a girl.”

“Who would be after that?”Luke said knowing I would be leaving soon.

“Sound and they like me as one of their on as Kevin did,”I said was we walked through a small frozen town.

  They all looked around in awed as I kept forward. I remembered when my dad had first thought this to me. I was five and life was just great then. He had took the source with us as we went down into the town. He held up three fingers to tell my to wait. I did and he went step by step on how to do it. I did and got it my first try.

  I smiled at the memory as we walked into a little fast food stop. I went in and took a few things for us. I left money there and head back out. We ate and continued our walk. I had my Ipod blasting music with my earbuds in. I felt a tap on my shoulder and saw that it was Maria who did it. I pulled my earbuds out and turned to Katey.

“Are the temples in a circle like the…”Kate started for me to finish.

“The ring of fire,”I said with a smile,”Yes they are. I can also say that three of the four who like me is on this side. The other one is on the other side.”

“So you use to travel a lot as a kid,”Maria spoke up at last,”That seems good.”

“If by good you mean going to each one with my dad and listening to the reasons why I should give my position to my brother,”I said looking at them,”I was thought like everyone else but the others thought I was just a useless girl.”

In Trouble

   We walked into the temple as I had unfroze time when we were at the base of the mountain. I walked in to yelling at someone. It must be one of those days. Why can’t guardians be frozen like everyone else? I heard my name being said over and over again and I knew it was the wrong day for this to be going on.

   I went over to the main hall to see Bret, guardian of earth, and Max, guardian of air. I lite up when I saw Max since he was the one that I didn’t see much and that like me. He was the one defending me against Bret. I walked in and luckily Max was the one that saw me.

“She has humans following her,”Bret yelled,”We had forbid telling them about us. She has about twenty people knowing about who she is!”

“But the Mangs made her do it,”Max said calmly.

“I didn’t know you hated me this much Guardian Bret,”I said bowing down to him,”I have come to ask you if we can only stay one night. We would be gone in the morning and heading to the sound temple.”

   He stomped off after he told me only one night. I gave him a grateful smile as his son, Zack, showed us to some rooms. I was lucky that he didn’t
