Chapter 2: The fire cell

Kenna's POV: 

It was a small cell, it looked old. The only light came from a torch outside the cell. From what I could tell nobody had given this cell a good clean. The floors inside and outside the cell were covered in dry blood and ashes. The cell was made of red bricks, but they had an unnatural glow. It was like they were covered by some kind of protection paint that glowed. 

I don't know how long I have been in here but I am getting inpatient. The guy that put me inside this cell has not come back, actually nobody has come. I am very scared, I don't know what is going on and what is going to happen to me. 

"Is anybody there?" I asked, I hoped for someone to answer me but I was met by silence. Seriously are they going to leave me here forever!

I leaned against the wall and closed my eyes. Then I started thinking about the fire back in the cabin. For some unknown reason the fire didn't scare me nor did it burn me when I touched it. How can it not burn me? It should have, my whole body should be burned at this point. I was covered by the flames yet it was like I was part of the fire. 

The feeling of the flames hugging my body is like no other. It was like I was finally complete, like the missing part that I didn't even know was missing finally was complete. It was like the fire traveled all over my body, it started traveling from my hands and feet then is just started spreading all over my body. The fire had started to get absorbed by my body, it energised my body. 

The fire was like the home I never had, it was my safe zone. That was what I felt when I had made contact with the fire, I felt safe. I have so many questions yet the only person that may know the answers locked me in this cell and I haven't seen him again. 

"She is glowing... How can she glow like that?" I heard a woman's voice. 

"Isn't this cell enchanted so that anyone with powers inside of it is not able to use them?" I heard a man's voice say this time. 

But I couldn't open my eyes, I had the same feeling I did back in the burning cabin. I was home and I was safe. I felt warm and relaxed, I didn't want this feelings to go away so I kept my eyes closed. 

"Oh my god, look at the flames surrounding her body!" I heard the woman say. 

"How is this possible? Why are the flames surrounding her?!" I heard the man say in a panic tone. 

"We need to get the enchantress down here, she must know what is going on and how she is able to use her powers." Said the woman. 

The enchantress... What is the enchantress? Why do they sound so terrified. I wan't doing anything to them, I am literally motionless. Suddenly I felt this surge of power all over my body. Why did I feel so powerful? 

"The flames are getting bigger!!" Said the woman, in a horrified tone. 

"We need to stop the flames from getting bigger." Said the man, then I felt like I was getting pushed down. 

What is going on? Why are they trying to hurt me! I haven't done anything so why are they doing this to me. Whatever they were doing it was pushing me even more. 

"The flames are getting smaller! Keep going." Said the woman. It hurts! Why are they doing this. 

I can't let them hurt me, I have been hurt for too long. With that thought I opened my eyes and saw the man and woman. They had their hands held up high and trying to bring them down? It was like something was stopping them from bringing their hands down. Then one of them managed to lower their hands a little bit, I was pushed down even more. 

"Stop! It hurts! Please just stop." I screamed. 

"Keep going!" Said the woman. 

That was when I noticed that I was once again covered in flames. This time the fire surrounding me was raging. It was trying to stay lit but something was trying to extinguish it. The fire was a bright red and orange. 

Then I was completely on the floor. When I look towards the man and woman I noticed that they had managed to lower their hands almost all the way. The pain I was in was horrible. There was no way to describe it, it just was painful. I need to do something! 

If they keep going I am just going to be en even more pain than I already am. So with all the power and force I could I pushed my self up. I manage to get on my hands and knees. The fire that surrounded me became bigger and the pain became less. 

"How is she doing this? The fire is getting bigger!" I heard the woman say. 

"Why isn't the enchantress here already? Seriously, how much longer can she take?!" Screamed the man. 

I looked down and saw that my hands had some weird looking tattoo. Since when do I have tattoo! You know what, this is not the time for me to care about this. I need to focus on what is happening right now. 

I once again gathered up all the power and energy that I was getting from the fire and started standing up. It was hard and painful to get up but I managed to stand up. The fire consumed the whole cage, it had a mind of its own. The fire was angry and full of rage! It wanted out and no one was going to stop it. With that the fire went with full force towards the man and woman.
