*Fire's P.O.V.*
How could I break them up? They look so happy now. It's nothing like I've ever seen!
Would it be that horrible to break them up? I had been ordered to kill them, but I'm not a murderer! Breaking them up had to be the better option.
But how could I do something so life changing? How could I deal with the consequences? My life depended on those two.
Leaf and Red are to be killed. But what if I don't want to? Not Leaf anyways. I could never murder the person I love so dearly.
I never lived that perfect life. I grew up with a single parent. My parents never broke up, but father left to train. I rarely saw him. Ever.
Mom always seemed so sad. Lost, even. Her other half had left us behind for his dreams. He abandoned us for something more important.
Seeing Red and Leaf together makes me happier. They are a perfect couple. Two peas in a pod. They are bound by destiny.
Why couldn't I build the strength to slay Red. He stood before me. That was my chance. But instead, I chose to hug him.
Stupid Fire.
Stupid Fire.
Stupid Fire.
I couldn't kill him, though. I didn't want to. I knew it was my mission, but I would rather split up the couple. One, it's easier. Two, it's less devastating. I wouldn't have to worry about this mess anymore.
I hate my life.
I want to die.
I hate my life.
I want to die.
Why am I so stupid? I should have just accepted my fate instead of bargaining for my life. It's not like I had one to begin with...
But I needed Red. Red was the solution to my hardships. He is the champion after all, so he must be able to help me.
