Fire In Her Eyes

7. Flame

What did I do?

My head starts spinning, I look around and see Bridget lying on the floor watching me. Carefully I walk over to her and bend down, I touch her wound gently and blood drips down my fingers, she shuts her eyes.

A small part of my past comes back, I see a small girl running around a courtyard leaving a trail of frost behind her beckoning someone to catch her. Then I see a girl who looks like a younger version of me roll her eyes and plays with a ball of fire in her hands.

"What happened?" Max says snapping me out the flashback.

He stares behind me, I turn and realise that I have wings.

"You, what are you?" He says cautious like I was a bomb ready to explode.

I concentrate and image creating a ball of fire in my hands, I look down I see that did it. I walk over to the balcony and will the door to open and it does without me needing to touch it. As I walk out I try use my wings a little, the walk turned into a sprint and I flew out the door and slammed the ball of fire down at the ground destroying a tree.

Filled with excitement I fly up into the clouds before diving down, stopping myself before I hit the lake. Then I realise that Max was still watching.

I fly down onto the balcony and fade away my wings to be greeted by Max who is clearly in shock.

"I can explain." I start but before I finish Max takes out Bridget's dagger and points it at me.

"Harpe, demon, witch? What are you?" He asks getting closer.

"None of them, I won't hurt you I am good I know that for sure." I answer with my hands in the air. "Please I don't remember but it is coming back slowly."

I start to walk towards him unafraid because of the power I just discovered I had. Max softens and drops the dagger before kneeling down before Bridget.

"I trust you because if you were bad you would have killed me already." He replies smiling. "Help me get them to their rooms."

I breathe a sigh of relief and go to help Max.
