Lost In The Firestorm

Now what?

Ollia's POV:

It was 10:30 in the morning, I sat at the kitchen table nervously spinning my ring under the table. My mother sitting across from me with angry expression and the girl I went to a party with last night sitting next to me, her hell hound sat in-between our chairs. My mother wasn't really a scary woman, unless you did something to upset her. I've been in enough trouble to know how she gets when she's mad, she hasn't actually gotten this upset with me ever since Damian passed. Let me explain how we even got into this situation.

The Night Before

After leaving Aaliyah's party house I decided to ask if she was alright with going to my place for the night. We were both a little drunk and plus I didn't want Pink to go home alone it being as late as it is.
"Hey.."
She turns to face me, her hell hound walking closely beside her.
"Yes?"
"Are you alright with staying at my place tonight? I don't want you to go home in the dark after drinking. I would walk you home but I'm feeling a bit tipsy myself and I'm not sure if I can trust myself to even get back to the house"
She giggles.
"I'm alright with that, my parents are out for a few days anyway so they shouldn't know. I am surprised though.."
I tilt my head to the side.
"You had more drinks then I thought you would. I thought you would be out after a bottle and a half considering how small you are"
I place my hand on my chest and gasp.
"How dare you think I'd lie. I've had a few drinks here and there when Damien and I would hang out after classes..."
Crossing my arms I look away.
"I am offended that you would think that lowly of me"
She giggles and walks to stand in front of me.
"Hey~, I'm sorry.."
I turn around and face away from her, arms still crossed.
"Oh come on, I said sorry. You don't have to pout like a child"
I ignored her and stood still, trying not to laugh. Suddenly I felt her arms wrap around my stomach and she pulled me close.
"I am truly very sorry I offended you, can we go now? it's cold"
She was right, it was getting a bit chilly. The weather here is so strange sometimes. I burst into a laughing fit and she held me tighter, eventually joining in. I wiped a tear from my eye.
"Okay okay you win"

After a while of walking we made it to the forest entrance that led to my house. There was no light source within the sea of trees so I snapped my fingers and a large flame sat in the palm of my hand, The woods around us now a green color.

Once we made it to the edge of the path I stopped and crushed my flames in my hand, The girl next to me turned to me confused.
"What is it?"
I started tapping my foot impatiently.
"I'm trying to think of an ecuse for you to stay"
She giggles then grabs my hand.
"To be honest with you I think the truth would probably be best. Your mother seems like a nice woman, I'm sure she wouldn't force me to go home after knowing that drinks were had"
I nod, she's probably right.

Walking up to the door I sighed and turned the handle. I slowly opened the door and I saw mom was laying on the couch, the cristal ball was on so she was probably watching some show or a movie. I wasn't sure if she was asleep so we both walked in and quietly closed the door. I slowly walked in front of the couch to find she was fast asleep. I smiled and grabbed a blanket off of the chair near by, tossing it over her.

Shutting the cristal ball off, I walked over to Pink who was already waiting by the stairs with a small light spell. We climbed the steps and down the hall to my room, opening the door and stepping inside. Turning on the light, my eyes squinted from the sudden bright light. I turned to the girl next to me.
"You can sit on the bed if you want, I'm going to find some close for you to wear so you don't have to sleep in the dress"
She nods and walks over to the bed, I can tell she was a little tired.
After rummaging through my drawers I found a pair of gym shorts and big T-shirt with a human band name printed on it, it read Rare Americans with a horse in sunglasses standing above it. I tossed the clothes to her and pointed to the bathroom door that was connected to my room.
"You can change in there, I'm going to look for some clothes for myself and change in here really fast"
She grabbed the clothes and stepped into the bathroom, closing the door. I forgot that Orroz was even here until I heard the springs on my mattress when he jumped on the bed. The dark grey hell hound spun in a circle three times and laid down on the edge of the bed. He took up one whole side to himself. I shrugged and continued to search for something to sleep in. I eventually found a pair of black sweat pants and a tank top, this one was also black but with a bleached look, splotches of orange and yellow.
