She was prepared for that. One, she even managed to use as a jumping point, boosting her speed for just a second.

Pillars coming out like before. But this time the pillars splintering into further pillars to try and nail her as she evaded them.

She had to move her body as best she could, her muscles starting to complain. She jumped over one splinter, curved around another, and almost got stabbed. She clenched her teeth tight, but managed to make it, unscathed. Shaky, but unscathed.

The only time she stood still was when she was rubbing her legs, working the knots out of her muscles. Otherwise, she kept moving, hands above her head.

So we are going to test your reflexes. All I want you to do is dodge." His stone arm would shift into a blade, he'd wait for her to get ready before thrusting the blade forward toward her midsection!

Dodging was easy for her. She took a few steps back, away from the blade.

Mathew taking a step in to close the distance, swinging his blade for her midsection again. Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum Sarah White Mentor Defense When Autumn Came...

It took a lot of self contol to not try and take his legs out. Instead, she just side stepped him, grunting with the effort. She would lower her entire body and roll, still accessing her speed, to get a few feet of distance between them. Her head was starting to spin a bit, her muscles screaming at her, but it wasn't yet bad enough for her to stop.

Spikes coming out of the ground looking to cut her and hurt her. Force her to keep moving until he power would fail. Push her to her limits. And then beyond.

Her balance was impressive, and her focus allowed her to guess the next move. However, her body was slowing. When she went to move one way, her legs gave a jerk and her vision became spotty. She gasped, hands instinctively going to her head in a vain effort to prevent the pain... and she tripped. Hitting the ground hard, she did the only thing she could think of, rolling from the danger and trying desperately to get the tingling to stop.

She could see Mathew advancing, his stone arm morphing into a hammer as he closed the distance. Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum Sarah White Mentor Defense When Autumn Came...

The pain echoed through her body, but she was determined not to let him hit her. Gagging slightly at the motion sickness, she gathered her body under her, as if the pain was too much. When he got close enough, she'd launch herself out of the way, using only her good leg, and tumble a few feet away. At normal speed.

Her eyes remained hard and focused, a little sweat drop falling down the side of her face. She put pressure on the wound as she prepared herself to move again. She would have to rely on her own speed and wits. No longer having speed, however, she was far more focused on watching his body language and feeling the disturbances in the ground to predict his next move and try to stay one step ahead of him.

Then, she would launch herself to her feet and fight to keep balance. She could move better on her feet, even with a bloody gash on her leg and an uncooperative victim. Still, her head was spinning and it HURT.

Mathew would keep coming as she tried to stumble away. Slamming his foot violently into the ground to erect a wall of Earth between him and Piper.

Another spike. She moved away from it, not trusting it, and glanced to see if there was something nearby. He kept telling her to just dodge, but she wasn't going to be able to keep dodging for long.

Focus. Death never scared her. Failure terrified her endlessly. She stood there, against the wall, staring at the blob that was Mathew until.... The world seemed to slow back down. Everything moved in slow motion and her entire body quivered and tingled. She thought she heard a voice in the back or her head telling her to move, but that surely must have been an illusion. Still, she did. She tucked again, lowering herself to the ground, and use the wall as a jumping off point. She threw herself under the blade, and then turned, quickly. At this point, it was all instinct. She moaned in pain but the sound would seem like wind whistling as she danced backwards, then prepared to dodge every move he threw at her. Because somewhere, somehow, it reminded her of Him.

This, she knew. She moved between the spikes and then slid, under one, until she was rather suddenly at his side. She didn't throw any punches, but there was a smile on her face.
