Illogical Danger ~OPEN~

[Grace N. Kryztov]

As she saw that the thing that had happened was only going to be a possible once in a lifetime shot and was wondering of what the child of Apollo would think of when he'd definitely lost to them and especially the thing about the children of Apollo were better shots. Unfortunately this wasn't true with this one, even though he was inexperienced and didn't quite know on how to choose the right balance for himself which would most likely put him at a even more disadvantage.


As she saw that it was now his turn and would be the first from then on and Grace the last, she knew that things would be most interesting as he shouldered the heavy weapon and tried to fire again trying to do better with it than last time. However Grace knew of course that it wouldn't quite be even though he did hit a little higher, but still in the same ring which was a loss more to him and not to mention his bloodline. She gave Alison the look of that she understood why she was loosing control of herself for what had happened and in nodding her appreciation and understanding for this boy would definitely be smoked between the two of them, even though she was tempted to show him a few pointers and holding herself from doing so.

[Alison Smith]

Still amazed by Grace’s amazing shot Alison tried to think of all the possibilities of which why her eyes had turned black it confused her so much. Bringing all the possibilities up Alison really only thought of one that was reasonable and that was a blessing passed from her dad Erebus. Happy for her she took a look around the area it was pretty much empty except for one person in the back who obviously didn’t care. Alison then looked at the spot where Zol’tar was laying in the shade kinda wishing she was there because it had gotten hot over the last hour and she still had a day of training left “great” she thought.

Coming back to where Grace and the boy were standing she eyed the boy very carefully and she could tell he was quite regretful as he now knew winning wasn’t going to happen. Feeling sad because she knew what it was like to go back to your cabin and be shunned for making a mistake and it didn’t feel good Alison took her turn half heartedly and yet she got the yellow ring just below the bulls-eye.

Not really angry anymore she watched Grace take her turn but looked to face the boy and he said,”....... what happened to your perfect bulls-eye shot miss sixth year camper!” and Alison had had enough this boy was driving her crazy like most others and she replied back with a full angry tone, ” I’V HAD IT WITH YOU! Next capture the flag all Apollo campers watch out because your cabin will be sent to the infirmary just because of your big mouth!” feeling her core temperature rise Alison picked up her bow and shot three arrows in a row all hitting bulls-eye. Putting her bow back down her picked up the crossbow with new found strength and was ready for her next shot.

[Grace N. Kryztov]

As she stood there awaiting and seeing of what would be true from the Son of Apollo knowing that it wouldn't be an easy shot as it was so for he struck at the yellow ring when it came to be Alison's time again however she wasn't afraid that she'd score good that was until she saw something dismayed to her own eyes. Alison had struck in the same way which wasn't bad once in a while that was if you could back it up with another bullseye or of something more than that watching this unfold the boy seemed to like give lip to those more experienced to him.


Giving a keen eye to Alison as if to say 'oh great not this again' in her own face when she knew that her friend would probably throw off the handle at this smug person that was until she seemed awed as well as amused of her actions. For one she had said that all Apollo cabin members where going to be crushed under her and striking the bullseye thrice at the same time and was awaiting her turn. Seeming to say that this boy wouldn't leave enough alone she eyed at Zol'tar as if to say for him to give this one a great scare and make him crap his shorts from the size of him alone as a crafty smile crossed her lips and did wondered if not it was her turn or still Alisons'.


"So I'm guessing since you hit those with your regular bow its your turn or does that count as your turn dear Daughter of Athena?" Awaiting for her turn she saw that her viper was starting to inch closer to the boy as well as start to grow inch by inch until he was right behind the boy only half of his full heigh wanting for the shade of the trees to still hide him from exposure and yet creating a shadow directly behind the boy as she awaited to see the reaction of this youngster, hopefully it'd be even worse when Alison first saw him for then that would make it even more amusing of this.

[Alison Smith]

Still full strength from adrenalin and anger all she wanted to do was slice something off to teach him a lesson clicking her owl necklace her armor and sword came out taking her sword out she placed it on the boys neck, her temperature was rising fast, and then gritted her teeth because she knew Chiron wouldn’t like he doing this; and she would probably get kitchen duty which was never fun. Alison then sheathed her sword and stood in the boys face realising she had a good four inches on his she said only for him to hear, ”don’t do it again or my sword will go through your neck, also I was trying to help you do better! But know I’m doing straight bulls-eyes and when we win you will go back to your cabin in shame!”

Turning away not able to look at the boy anymore she looked at Grace for help and she said "So I'm guessing since you hit those with your regular bow it’s your turn or does that count as your turn dear Daughter of Athena?" in reply Alison said, ” I wish that way the stupid contest would be over but no” still looking at Grace kindly she forgot to say a part, ” and no it’s your turn a shot before the idiot made me mad.” As Alison said that she pointed to her shot just below and said to Grace, ”never be kind, in a competition.”

Fully ignoring the boy she looked over at the shade where Zol’tar was supposed to be and when Alison saw he wasn’t there Alison knew right away what Grace had planned. Not wanting to ruin it for the boy she whispered, ”thank you!” awaiting the boy’s reaction for she knew her own the first time she saw Zol’tar was terrible and never wanted to live anything that horrible again. Smiling slightly she remembered she was still wearing her armor and it was full sun. Turning her necklace back Alison found herself feeling like an oven. Getting bored from Zol’tar’s slow moving she went and picked up her bow and shot the last two arrows hitting another bulls-eye making that four. Seeing only two others at the range she went and got her arrows and put them back beside her bow she walked and stood beside Grace seeing Zol’tar now only a metre away and in fact almost bigger than the boy. She grinned and awaited the scare.

[Grace N. Kryztov]

As she looked seeing that Alison was definitely pisssed off and not wanting to give the boy any sympathy or anything she knew that if she went through with it they'd have more than just Chairon to worry about for they'd also have dear Lord Apollo for even though they couldn't play favoritism he was still one of the Sun God's children. Which good thing that she stopped when she did for if she went through with it then things would be even worse. Seeing that Zol was almost upon the boy she saw and not to mention heard the words "Thank You" come from Alison's own lips for she knew that she mostly wanted to teach this boy a lesson and what else, but not to be scared out of your wits by a giant deadly looking viper.


She knew however that showing any emotion during a competition wasn't a good thing to show for if she did then she showed her weakness which wasn't one thing she wanted nor liked doing for when in battle and competition she was mostly as strong as iron. Therefore she awaited for Alison to be done shooting her last shots into the target and collected her arrows as Grace awaited for her to cross the line she saw there was others starting to come back to the line or at least only two others as she lined up the sights and with calm, cool collected percision she concentrated and pulled on her ancient gifts from her own father as she fired the first shot and it hit the cleared targets' pure center of the bulseye burying it halfway through. She loaded again this time placing three of her field arrows into the slot one after another as she stood back up and looked again at the target with still that in mind of what she knew and what she could pull from her own inner knowing of certain things she cocked the crossbow releasing the safety and shot all three at the same time as they buried themselves around that same arrow making a arrow pointing downward form with their shafts as she watched to see of the boy who had three shots left himself.


He started to load his crossbow and with the two girls awaiting him and not knowing of what had created this darkened cloud taht was a shadow maybe of a tree, he didn't think there was any trees that big and so as he was in the process of loading his own arrow looked behind and saw something that made anyone fear for what was to come next. As he saw a dark serpent with scales as dark as obsibian glass and bone-needle like fangs the size of a small dagger and long enough to wrap its body around a simple human four times over as he saw this the crossbow seemed to fall from his hands as the twang of a bowstring was released as it skinned a piece off of his palm while being dropped she didn't know if he'd scream like a girl, scream bloody murder, or just faint from the sight alone for it seemed that the usual reaction was for one to relieve themselves without knowing, scream and most possibly lose their courage which at times was all she needed for a reaction from someone she wanted for to scare the crap out of them silly.

[Alison Smith]

Still super angry at the boy she stood beside Grace and looked at the sky trying to keep her mind off the boys face when Zol’tar would come up and make him crap himself. While looking Alison found a cloud that looked like an owl smiling she knew in her heart that was from her mom as to say I’m watching you. Proud of her mom Alison cooled down a bit but still kept the grudge. Looking at Grace as she shot her last three arrows and they were all good shots and all Alison needed was three bull’s-eyes for a perfect score to send the boy back to his cabin, with an evil grin she waited for the boy to take his turn.

But Alison was cut short just as she finished loading her crossbow she looked up and Zol’tar was ready he was a good two times the size of the boy and very long about the size Alison had first witnessed him. Looking carefully not to give anything away she watched as the boy loaded and couldn’t help but crack a smile when the boy looked up as if something was wrong. He then screamed as if a girl was being caught by the murderer in every horror movie, and Alison laughed like a maniac just standing there until her sides started to hurt and Alison’s eyes started to water it was the funniest thing in the world right now; and it felt great to know he got what was coming to him.

Alison stopped laughing after when she saw the blood dripping from his hand; knowing that he wouldn’t be able to shoot Alison decided to be a good sport. Feeling like a daughter of Hephaestus she took out a good ten items from her pockets and set them on the ground when she found the gauss that was extra in there cabin and went over to the boy waving Zol’tar off and watched as he slithered back to Grace. Turning her attention to the son of Apollo she held out her hand as to say let me help. This time the boy listened because frankly he was hurt pretty bad all the skin in the main part of his palm had been sliced off and there was a gash that wasn’t very deep but still looked painful. Happy to help she wrapped it up then told one of his brothers that were still there to take him to the infirmary or to the cabin to be healed. Alison listen as the boys walked together and the older one mumbled, “wait ta go, you lost to girls.”

Watching after the boys she looked back at Grace with the biggest smile and said, ”well that was awesome! No more little boys” she then laughed and loaded her crossbow then shot her last three arrows with all focus and got them all in bulls-eye. Happy with herself she said great job Zol’tar still in big form she went over and pat him on the back. Alison then looked at Grace and said, ”well do you care to have a contest with the bow and arrow this time instead?”

[Grace N. Kryztov]

Seeing behind her as she looked to her side perevials seeing what would happen as she was finally rewarded by the girly scream and satisfaction in which the boy was given his due for it was most definite that he had been scared into submission. Turning around slightly pivoting her feet she saw that the bowstring had in fact cut some of the flesh from his hand and in doing so was given a bloody palm. With a smile and a light hearty chuckle to herself, she saw that Alison was showing a little bit of herself in which the huge serpent slithered over to Grace while looking at the boy as if he was food and disregarding it for he probably felt a little gamy in fact. So after the two left and she overheard the older tell the younger that he got beat by a couple girls that made her smile even wider.


Bending slightly she went down as apart of Zol's tail went swiftly to where her rump would've landed giving her a seat if you could say in which she watched Alison do her last three shots as they sailed sure and true into the target where she wanted them to land. Looking upward and then back down to the targets across one of her palms patted the hard leathery scaled hide in friendlyness and went to gather her own arrows for now it seemed that they were at the stopping point. Regarding the fallen crossbow she wondered if or not to take it back into the weapon shed and let it lay there on the grass covered earth. Crossing the line and with swift movements tore the arrows out of the target and placed them back in her quiver that rested on her left shoulder.


Seeing that now Alison wanted to try and see how she was with the regular Bow and Arrow as Zol'tar felt the light pat from Alison and with its long forked tongue lightly licked her affectionately as Grace was retrieving the arrows, even those who were fired by the inexperienced Apollo camper. Coming back to the other side of the line laidened with arrows as she gave Alison hers and dropped the others next to the crossbow. As the smile on her face stayed put a twinkle seemed to form for only a second as she saw that her pet and friend were getting to be great friends as she sat back down on the tail end of Zol'tar and thought for a mere moment about what she was going to decide on whether or not to try her hand again with the bow.


"Hmmm.....I didn't do to bad when they wanted me to use it when I was younger and I think its a little like riding a bike isn't it?"As she looked at Alison quizzically while thinking about what it was that she needed to do with a regular bow. "Well first I'm going to have to get a well balanced set first shouldn't I!" Not wanting to get up for sitting for the first time the entire morning and yet not wanting to forget to get the best one she grudgingly got back up and as she went towards the weapons shed once more she picked up the used quiver of arrows and the used crossbow to return as she looked to the both of them with a look that said that she would be back in a moment as she promised them. Going into the shed she looked for the right one.


Finally returning with a medium weight compound and a small quiver of field arrows a little lighter than what she was used to as she finally came back she so dearly wanted to just sit that was until she saw that Zol'tar was back as he was before scaring the younger kid and so she just shrugged and went close to Alison as she pulled up a space of grass laying the bow and arrows at her feet and awaited for the next bout to happen and wondered how best she'd prevail in this competition between just the two of them.

[Alison Smith]

Watching Grace smile as the boys left was great it was quite nice to know that she didn’t hold a grudge. Watching how she sat on Zol’tar made Alison want to laugh they were so cute together and from the look on the giant vipers face he was happy. This made Alison grin, and she wished she could have a pet. Alison then watched as grace left to go get the arrows when her attention was set to the boy’s crossbow which had just been left there. Judging by the angle of which the crossbow was pointed she thought the arrow that had wounded the boy would be somewhere close in that direction.

Coming back from the targets she noticed that Zol’tar had gotten closer to her and right when Grace was in sight he licked Alison’s cheek, this scared Alison and almost made her jump all the way across the range. Feeling the slime on her face she wiped it off and walked back over to Zol’tar smiling to hide the moment of fear she just had; because frankly that was as close as she ever wanted to get to a snakes mouth. Grace then dropped all the boys arrows beside the crossbow, and handed Alison hers looking at her arrows for the bow she saw nothing wrong with them and decided to give them another shot without replacing the tips. Then looking at her crossbow she picked it up used to the weight and walked over to the weapons shed and when Alison stepped in she was surprised at how full it was with swords gleaming and dozens of bows all on hooks looking at the crossbows she hung hers up then walked out not wanting for Grace to leave.

As she stood beside Grace again just as she said "Hmmm.....I didn't do too bad when they wanted me to use it when I was younger and I think it’s a little like riding a bike isn't it?" Alison then laughed and made a joke to Grace, ”well it doesn’t have a seat, wheels, or pedals; but yes it takes practice and often you get better and better each time” hearing the obvious sarcasm in her voice she smiled as Grace made up her mind and said "Well first I'm going to have to get a well balanced set first shouldn't I!” nodding Alison watched as Grace picked up the arrows from the boy and the crossbow taking them back to the shed and in no time she returned with a nice bow but it didn’t look right; with a quizzical look Alison asked the now sitting Grace, ” may I see the bow and arrows you choose???” because they didn’t look right to Alison and she wanted to make this competition fair.

[Grace N. Kryztov]

Standing up slowly from the grass covered ground in which she tried to be as comfortable as she could without Zol'tar giving her something to actually sit on, but she wasn't to picky of what she sat on as long as it was comfortable enough. Still she handed Alison the compound bow and its arrows. She didn't know why she wanted to see it guessing she just wanted to see if things were even enough or something of the sort. Handing it to her with no objections nor complaints of doing so she waited to see what Alison would say about the bow.


Knowing that this would be a good contest and she having to go back to her basics her mind went reeling back to those days and remembering what she needed to do to work the bow before she switched for the crossbow which was given to her as a gift. sitting back down she hugged her knees and looked up at Alison in wonderment averting her eyes she looked back to the content viper and then to the targets as memories of old came into her head and old reactions and reflexes of the past started to creep back into her as she awaited to see what her friend would say about it.

[Alison Smith]

Alison stood there still confused of what she thought was wrong with the bow but to be safe she took it when Grace gave it to her looking carefully she looked at the end then dry fired which wasn’t something you should do because well it wrecks the bow but as soon as Alison pulled back the string snapped and came back like an elastic and hit her in the hand, not hurting very much she set down the bow and looked at Grace, ”you never can be too careful with the old bows judging by this one it’s about ten years old and hasn’t seen a good archer really ever.” looking at Grace she said ”ill grab you a new one” seeing that Grace was trying to get comfortable Alison let her be on the grass and picked up the bow and walked casually to the shed. On the way Alison started to feel the throbbing in her hand and looked down to see a red line across the back of her hand which would turn into a bruise eventually.

Arriving at the tool shed for the second time Alison entered looking over at the table with the rest of the broken things she set the bow down and headed to the back where the crossbows were knowing the best bows were hidden looking behind an old shield nothing was there puzzled Alison turned when something silver under the broken weapons table caught her eye because well the camp didn’t use silver. Quizzically she knelt on one knee and saw that the silver was a handle opening it she looked inside and found a bow and some arrows like she had never seen before taking them out Alison looked at the bow it was normal just like Alison’s but then Alison looked at the arrows they were black unlike the camps which were brown and noticing they were perfectly balanced she closed the door and put the quiver on her shoulder walking back out to grace knowing this set would be perfect for her.

Coming back she looked at Grace who was still sitting and put the bow and quiver at her feet saying, ”this set should be perfect for you” knowing that it was she sat down next to grace deciding Alison herself could use a break; because she hadn’t sat down today for more than a good thirty seconds sadly. Lying back she stretched out and soaked up some sun feeling the immense heat from the sun, or sun chariot that Apollo drove. Smiling she remembered he was the second god that she had ever seen when Rachel became the oracle not to sound guy crazy but Apollo was really hot! Looking down because the sun had started to burn her retinas. Smiling and squinting she looked over at Grace to see what she would say.

[Grace N. Kryztov]

While sitting there she watched as her friend did something that she wouldn't in her right mind do for it was a good thing to test the bow, but not like that as the chord on the old bow twanged as it smacked her friend's hand she cringed at the sound only a minor for it wasn't that she was afraid of others getting hurt for that was how things were half the time. Getting more comfortable she saw Alison disappear into the weapon shed in search of a better set awaiting for what prize she would find in there she seemed to wonder of what kind of a bow it would be.


It wasn't long until she reappeared out and started to walk towards her with a bag on her back wondering what it was she put on a quizzical look and awaited which wasn't that long for when she came closer the bag was dropped at her feet and Alison sat down in saying that this one would be better. Which really got her curious about this as she crossed her legs in a more native american style and hunkered over pulling the canvas like bag towards, as her fingers started to grope onto something which seemed oddly familiar and yet still a stranger to her. Pulling the silvery bow out and inspecting the darkened arrows she knew that this was true that this set was more fit for her, as she stood up with the bow in hand she carassed the string in which she pulled it back testing the weight from the pulleys and letting it slowly go back to its original set position.


Looking towards Alison with a look as if this will be fun bending forward she put the quiver on her shoulder like her other quiver hanged and went towards the line as she grabbed one of the dark shafts notching it and aiming as the string was pulled back yet again. As her eyes sighted down the shaft and she uses this as a test shot for as to get ready for this competition between the two of them. Bringing in a breath she held it as she aimed and then released the breath as well as the string in her hand like a dove as it went forward. As the flying projectile went forth it found its target resting again in the target in the blackened circlet in the target which was the closest to the bullseye.


Smiling cruely she came back to Alison and sat back down putting the bow on the ground she got comfortable for a mere second and with that still what seemed like a cold smile that would make cold shivers run down others spines. "I think this one will be a close one don't you think? Also for some reason this set seems familiar I'm not sure, but I think I might of tried this set before I went to the crossbow. For it seems that since then others have taken care of it or something! Shrugging at her own comment about the bow as if she couldn't remember why this set felt familiar to her.

[Alison Smith]

Alison was finally starting to relax in the sun when she felt her hand throb and looking down at it she could see it was a good centimeter wide all the way up to her thumb. Cursing she was happy to put that thing away knowing grace could have felt this. Now still looking at the line Alison thought one little bite of ambrosia and this stupid thing would be gone but frankly that was the only thing Alison didn’t have so she rubbed it lightly making the pain go away. Sitting back she looked over at Grace that was known cross legged examining the bow and arrows, with a slight smile Alison knew that was Grace’s set it just looked like part of her especially when she took a shot at the target the arrow flew straight and hit the blackened circle closest to the bulls-eye.

Surprised at her shot a little because normally someone who hadn’t shot in a while doesn’t do so good when they try but Alison just said, ”good shot, it seems as though the bow was made for you.” Alison then adjusted her way of sitting because the ground wasn’t very comfortable and she watched as Grace came and sat down with a weird look on her face that kinda scared Alison.

Sitting down she listened what Grace said, "I think this one will be a close one don't you think? Also for some reason this set seems familiar I'm not sure, but I think I might have tried this set before I went to the crossbow. For it seems that since then others have taken care of it or something!” looking at Grace she said, ”yes I think this competition will be pretty close” and then nodding to the second part of her comment because Alison knew there was something weird about those arrows and the bow as they didn’t feel right in her hand and she muttered looking at the dust on the quiver, ”those haven’t been used more than once.” looking at the ground she was stumped by this bow something so simple shouldn’t be so hard to figure out. Confused Alison sat waiting for Grace to make the first move about starting the competition.

[Grace N. Kryztov]

As the look seemed to of desturbed Alison for it showed on her face even though it was only a second to take place when the look was over and things started to be the same and calm as it once was. As she looked at Alison over that one mere second it told her as well as the practice shot that Grace should go first to start off their competition as she nodded and arose once again to her feet with a wand smile she went to the line and crossed it thus to retrieve the arrow that had stuck in the target thrusting it out and putting it with the rest on her back and crossing the line once again.


Looking back at her friend who liked to use her mind more than herself she looked to her and said, "Alright if you want me to I guess I'll start us off with a good en!" as she said one as "in" stepping to the line as she was only a couple feet away from it giving her a farther distance than what was necessary.looking back one last time with a wink and a smile and that was that. As she did a quick movement flinging the hair from her face she saw things were going to get underway. With the bow straight outward and her left arm straightened stiff the right notched a single arrow into the string and pulled back with calm precision as if this was only a reaction which she had done for quite some time. Breathing inward through her mose inhaling the cool air she held it for a second.


Five seconds had passed until she saw her mark as she looked down the arrow's shaft and saw the target for what it was as if she knew where it was going to strike before pulling she swiftly exhaled as the string was released and the arrow was propelled into the air as she saw it go straight she didn't move a muscle until it struck the target in the actual ring in which was only an inch away from the bullseye. However it was only a mere improvement she still wasn't glad about it for with the crossbow she could hit the center as many times as she could, but knew in time she would be in the same sense as if she hadn't changed.


Now seeing how rusty she was Grace thought she could come here and improve with this set since it fit her just fine, maybe it was a set that had been made for those of the darker ways of life as you could say or demigods of death, night, and the darkness. Shrugging her shoulders minutely she went back to the spot in which Alis was sitting and sat herself awaiting to see how well she would do even though she had already saw how good this daughter of athena was with her bow, for it seemed only second nature to her!

[Alison Smith]

Alison crossed her arms unable to think of why that bow was so different; being the daughter of Athena she hated not knowing, with possibilities going through her head Alison spaced out going into her own world unable to see or hear her surroundings. The one that stood out was a theory that maybe it was forged in the underworld made for a daughter or son of death, darkness or maybe even night which would be understandable considering grace was the daughter of Erebus. Finding herself gliding away from that subject she felt her stomach turn as she thought about Jake, things had gone nowhere and Alison was ready to give up there were plenty of sweet and cute guys here but Alison didn’t want to let go. Annoyed with herself Alison came back to reality and saw that Grace was at the line.

Now knowing that Grace was going to shoot first she didn’t so much as concentrate on Grace because she knew using that bow the score would be pretty even. Alison watched as Grace shot seeing the arrow hit the outer ring from the bulls-eye she knew that her next shot would have to step up a bit thinking about what Alison’s capability with the bow was she knew very well she could get a bulls-eye every time. Pleased with knowing that the bow was like a second action to Alison she stood up after Grace sat back down and picked up her bow with her left hand which happened to be hurting again.

With her quiver of arrows on her back and bow in her hand Alison walked up to the line and looked at Grace’s shot then raised her arm extending straight and perfectly level with the bulls-eye she put an arrow in the bow then adjusted. Inhaling she pulled the string back to her jaw and looked down the shaft seeing the perfect shot Alison let the arrow fly. With amazing speed and straightness she watched as the arrow hit the exact center of the bulls-eye.

still surprising to Alison she turned on her heel and raised her eye brows towards Grace then smiled to be friendly while the competitive side wanted to say right out loud, “beat that you stupid newbie!” brushing that off Alison smiled even bigger at the comment in her mind knowing that, that behavior was not normal to Alison for she respected the competitor especially because the competitor was a good friend. Approaching Grace she didn’t sit this time because she found it harder and harder to get up; feeling quite like a fatty she just wanted things to speed up. Looking at Grace kindly she said ”your turn” ready to shoot again Alison tried to be patient just to see if Grace would improve with her shots and maybe even win.

[Grace N. Kryztov]

As Grace came back and sat she saw the line still on Alison's left hand and knew that it would most likely sting for a time until it'd be nothing, but a slight discomfort annoyingly picking at the brain. Still she waited and watched wanting nothing, but to go to the line once again. Showing her own will and staying vigilant on being patient she watched as Alison pulled the string and then released it knowing because Alison was very experienced with the bow it would surely be a close one wanting nothing, but to amp it to the next level she watched as Alison seemed to bite back a comment when returning to the area. She stood there anxiously waiting for another chomp at the target as well when Grace had a interesting idea putting one foot on the grass and the other kneeling making sure the bow was free of not getting tied up from what she was thinking she gave Alison one last smile when she started to roll in a free somersault in the middle she reached a hand to the quiver on her back drawing an arrow and notching it. She kneeled there at the line poised and ready to fire. Aiming down the shaft for a second time, she pulled the bowstring as close to her cheek as it could and then let loose after it was flying she fell backwards doing a reversed somersault back to where Alison was. Once again she was where she had normally started and looked back at her shot it had landed into the target only a centimeter away from the one that Alison had just shot with made her a bit surprised as her face started to blush a little for it was uncommon to do that sort of thing while doing archery. Without knowing it was going to come out as well without the knowledge of biting it back she said with much compettitiveness "HA! how bout that for a difference in style huh alison, what ya think of that sort of thing? I kinda picked that up with my crossbow at times!"
