Acceptance of Fire

Chapter Five

A/N

So, I didn't reach my goal when I got back so I thought I'd wait a day and I still haven't reached it but I can't keep you waiting any longer.

Enjoy!

Kimberly jogs past the woods with an iPhone 6+ plugged into her ears.

She turns her head when she feels heat against her face. There's a forest fire.

She may be an airhead, but she knows to call 999 about the fire.

That is, until The Presence possesses her.

Before, she was breathing heavily from running and had a scared and shocked expression on her face. But when The Presence took over, she stood straight and still, her breathing normal, her face expressionless and a chill surrounded her.

She crossed the road for a safe distance from the fire and dialled 999. But instead of asking for the fire department, she requests the police station. A policeman answers and The Presence grins evilly with glee.

"Hello? What might the problem be?" he asks cautiously.

"Oh, hi! I'd like to report a girl with no parents, who lives on her own in a big house. Oh and she's a little bit mad. So, anyway, there's a forest fire near her house and I have very good reason to believe that this girl started the fire." Kim lies smoothly, slightly flirtatiously. Well half-lies.

"Oh right! Well, can I have your details, Miss? And we'll follow this up. After we've sorted out the fire of course!" he rushes out, signalling for someone to call the fire department.

"Of course!" Kim giggles annoyingly.

Meanwhile, I'm stuck in the middle of the woods, fully burning and trying to calm myself down.

I'm crouched down on the floor with my head under my hands and between my knees. I try to think of calming things like a boat on the water, or a bird flying through the air, or listening to my favourite song while lying on my bed.

But all of them turn disastrous or bad, the boat hits a storm and is tossed about in the waves, the bird is attacked by a hawk and the song changes.

Then, an image pops into my head, of Emma, Liam and I, laughing at something completely ridiculous and I smile, despite my current predicament.

The image changes to one that didn't happen but it feels so amazing anyway. The picture in my head is of Liam holding my hand and looking down at my lips.

With these two images in my head, my fingers start to fizzle and then they're back to normal. My fire goes out and I stand up grinning until I realise I'm standing at the heart of a forest fire.

I look around for an exit, a gap in the wall of fire surrounding me. When I see it, I run.

I run the fastest I've ever run, dodging burning trees and smoked out animal dens. I don't stop until I reach the edge of the woods.

When I turn back, I take the vast destruction that I have caused. Tears start to run down my face. Making tracks in the soot on my face.

I turn and run back into my house.
