*Sophie's POV*

The moment I saw Veronica stepping out of the front door something snapped inside of me. Until now, even with everything that has happened so far, I was always able to stay by my senses. Right now I didn't know what went through me and it got worse when I saw that Lance guy throwing his cigarette inside the house. The moment I saw the fire my body completely moved on its own. The only thing that I was thinking about was Emilia. Every other single thought was blocked out. I jumped out of the car and started running towards the back of the house. The back door was locked and I was trying desperately to break it down but I couldn't so I moved to the window next to the door and jumped right through it, earning some cuts of the broken glass in the process. I was in the living room and I saw the fire starting to crawl its way towards me.

"EMILIA!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. The smoke made its way into my lungs and I couldn't stop coughing. I was desperately trying to scream out her name but the coughing blocked me from doing so. I couldn't catch my breath as well. I desperately wanted to get some air but that was not an option for me. I started to run through every room I could find on the first floor with the fire following close behind me. I was standing in front of the stairs with no other way to go but up. I started running up the stairs but when I was halfway up I felt something grabbing my ankle and pulling me down. I turned around to see Lance crawling on top of me, trying to get a proper grip on me but I wouldn't let him. I was kicking a punching like a maniac. Then I saw him grabbing something sharp and shiny from behind his back and the next thing I know, he planted a knife right above my left knee. I screamed out in excruciating pain. I brought up my right knee to my chest and placed my foot against his chest and with all the strength I had in me I pushed him off of me. He tumbled down the stairs and fell into the fire at the end of the stairs. Horror consumed me as I watched him burning alive, screaming like I've never heard anyone scream before. I couldn't look at it any second longer so I turned around. I tried to stand up, completely forgetting about the knife in my leg. When I put weight on my left leg, I fell to the ground and started tumbling down the stairs. I was able to grab the balustrade, preventing me from falling into the fire. I had incredible trouble breathing and the heat was burning over my entire body. Somehow I managed to crawl up the stairs. I tried to stand up, supporting myself on my right leg. I was feeling light headed because of my lack of oxygen but the adrenaline in my kept me going and so did my determination to save Emilia. Once again I was checking every room I could find but I couldn't find Emilia on the right part of the hallway. I made my way back to the stairs to check the rooms on the left of the stairs. However the fire made its way up the stairs. I wasn't able to stop myself. I jumped right through the aggressive fire and got ahead of it in the hallway. There was only one room left. I busted through the door and my eyes instantly locked eyes with Emilia's. Thank fucking God! I made my way towards her. I noticed that she was tied to the bed. I could see in her eyes that she was happy to see me but worried as well. I ripped the tuck tape from her mouth.

"SOPHIE GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW!!!" She snapped at me.

"NOT WITHOUT YOU GOD DAMN IT!!" I snapped back while untying her hands.

"SOPHIE GET OUT!! JUST LEAVE ME!!"

"JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP EMILIA!!!"

My back suddenly felt warmer that it was painful. I turned around and saw that the fire made its way inside the room. Shit I should've closed the fucking door! I jumped on the bed, untying her feet. I crawled off the other side of the bed away from the door and pulled Emilia with me. She fell to the ground and pulled me with her. I felt the pain in my leg again. I completely forgot about it because of the adrenaline that was coursing through my veins. My sight was getting blurry as I felt myself slipping away from consciousness. I squeezed my eyes shut and opened them, trying to get the focus back in my eyes. I noticed that Emilia wasn't getting up. My eyes quickly travelled down her legs. How could I have missed this when I was untying her! She's been shot or stabbed in both of her upper legs. The wounds look recent. I guess it was a precaution in case she might've gotten lose, so she couldn't run away.

"DAMN IT SOPHIE DO YOU SEE IT NOW!!! I CAN'T FUCKING MOVE!! YOU HAVE TO FUCKING GO NOW!!!!!" She said while pushing me away from her. I was able to grab her wrists and started pushing myself backwards with my right leg on the ground, pulling Emilia with me towards the window. I got up my right knee and pushed the window up. I could feel Emilia trying to push me out of it but she barely had any strength left. I put my arms around her waist and tried to pull her up but I couldn't.

"FUCK EMILIA!! I NEED YOUR HELP!! TRY TO GET UP WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE!!!" I yelled desperately looking back at the fire that was only a few feet away from us.

"JUST GET OUT NOW!!!" She yelled while trying to wiggle herself out of my grip.

"YOUR CHOICE!! WE'LL EITHER DIE HERE OR GET OUT TOGETHER RIGHT NOW!! I'M NOT LEAVING YOU!!!"  I'm sure that she got my determination to get her out of here as she tried to pull her up on the edge of the window. I stepped behind her and was trying to pull her up. She was finally high enough for me to be able to push her out and I did. I was about to crawl out of it myself when I heard a huge bang and the house started to tremble like an earthquake.  I turned around to see the fire blasting towards me. I quickly turned back around but the window fell back down. I pushed it back up but then I felt a scorching pain making its way up my legs. I fell down on my knees and the scorching pain crawled its way up my back. I was screaming in an unbearable pain. I felt the need to scream louder than I possibly could. I've never felt this desperate in my entire life. The pain was killing me. I couldn't stand it. I felt hopeless. All I could wish for right now was just to die instantly. I couldn't take it anymore! I just want to die! Please let me die! Let it stop and let me fucking die!!!!
