The Burning Flame

Kata

"What do you mean you're the only person here? There isn't other people here? Answer me please!" I begged tears ready to fall out of my eyes and down onto my face.

"And the wolfs, those things were actually wolfs, omg." I cried hysterically; after this 'person' took my hand all I have did was hysterically cry wondering where this person was taking me.

 Since it was pitch black I count see the person in front of me which made it harder for me to even trust this person. He maybe even a she has not even talked since they saved me.

"If you keep on talking where going to get attacked by the wolfs again. So shut up and well talk once we reach base" finally he or she speaks!

Touching the persons back I frowned "Base?" I squealed.

"Yes base. That's where you and I will live" my heart dropped.

"You and I?" I repeated swallowing hard.

"Yes, you and I." I stopped and the person's firm grip on my arm tightened. "How can I live with a person I don't even know? I don't even know if you're a guy or girl. I don't even know you're name!" I hysterically went on.

"Sierra!" I jumped back as the person's loud voice echoed through the 'cave'. I heard a few growls and kept quite. "Once we reach base we will talk, for now all you have to do is shut up."

Nodding my head silently, I let the person continue to guide me to 'base'.

"My name is Hunter. Don't ask any more questions as I won't answer anymore" I nodded my head, so this person was a guy.

 "Nice name. You know my name so there is no point in telling you it" without even realising, the next step I took was straight into Hunters back.

"Why did we stop?" I moaned rubbing my nose. "Because we have arrived" frowning, I moved back and stepped to the side so that I was standing next to Hunter.

"I don't see anything" I heard Hunter huff out and take a few steps forward "Don't move" I heard the sound of rocks and gravel being rubbed against each other and then there was finally some light- not light from a light bulb, light coming from sticks of fire all standing alongside each other.

"I'm guessing this is base?" I turned to look at Hunter and couldn't believe what I was looking at.

He was gorgeous. Hunter was gorgeous.

Beautiful coal black eyes, pitch black hair nicely trimmed around his face, shaven jaw which showed very inch of his beautiful sharp jaw line, lips so full and red.

 I felt hypnotized.

"Welcome to Base. Here I will not only teach you how to fight but I will also teach you to find you're true powers and be who you really are." I looked up at Hunter and swallowed.

"This is why I am here? This is pathetic." I turned around ready to walk away.

 This was bullshit.

This place is for me to find my 'true power's and be 'who I really am'?

 That is complete and utter bullshit.

"Why do you think you were sent here then? You died and the witches sent you here, they didn't send you to the other side, they sent you to afterlife. This 'place' here is called afterlife; the witches sent you here as they think you are worthy.

Here the chosen one learns to fight, learns who they really are and what powers they have and how to use those powers. The reason why you are here is for you to fight for one more chance to be resurrected. The witches aren't going to help you, nor am I. Once you've learnt what you're capable of and who you really are, then you'll channel the deep burning fire within you and then you will be resurrected."

"So then what are my powers?" I asked turning around.

 If what Hunter is saying is true, once I learn how to fight, learn how to channel my powers, all I have to do then is channel the 'fire' within me and I'll be out of here.

Sounds easy to me.

 Hunter shrugged "I guess we will have to find out. But first pick a name."

"Pick a name? I have a name already" Hunter glared at me "I mean pick a new name. A name that describes you or a name that you think will suit you. Whatever name you want, just pick a name"

I nodded my head "Kata"

"Nice pick. It suits you."

"Isn't that the point" Hunter chuckled nodding his head.

"Now let's see what you can do Kata" suddenly out of nowhere Hunters fist connected with my jaw.

"What the hell!" I screamed rubbing my jaw.

"First part of training is to be aware of your surroundings, now stand strong, spread your legs maintaining a strong stance and block me. The most important thing in fighting is to always keep your eyes on your enemy"
