Elements (On Hold)

Chap.15 Fire

Elizabeth's P.O.V

My eyes flutter open as I see the same dark and gloomy room. I slowly crawl off the bed only to look down at myself and find that I have another silk dress clinging to me at the right places except this time the color is white instead of green. Who the heck is changing my clothes while I'm sleeping? I really hope for the sake of the universe it isn't my new brother Thanatos because if it is I don't care about the consequences, I will slap him right on the face with a chair made of metal. Since I can't touch him without dying.

I huff and start to head to the door when Thanatos warning rings in my head. Well fudge nuggets this guy is even in my head, I throw my arms into the air as if that would help, but it doesn't and I start to mentally battle myself on whether or not I should walk out that door and find a way to escape. Rage and the need to leave win and I open the door with no hesitation. My naked feet make soft little padding nosies as they connect with the cool black marble floor.

I tiptoe through a hallway and around the corner making sure that there is no one there before I walk quietly to the next hall looking for the exit out of this crazy dead world, with only some lanterns on the wall to give me light. Stopping I find a large open room with a high ceiling, a crystal chandelier, and a comfy looking black couch facing a large window that goes from the ceiling top to the floor. The sight I see out those windows though is not what I expected, black covers the sky and land for as far as I can see with the occasional lightning strike, dust and rock is all that is on the land, no plants or life to be seen anywhere.

That small fact is what makes me realize that I am truly alone in this dead world. I have no plants to comfort or protect me, no water to heal and bath in, and I couldn't use the air, if you can even call it that, for it was foul and deadly. The only thing I have left is my fire, but if I used it then it would only take my energy, so unless I was being attack I could use it.

Just to make sure though that I could really rely on that last gift I open my hands out in front of me and make them light up. I sigh in relief at two things, one my fire works, and two it doesn't use up my energy as long as it is connected to me. Feeling comfort from my flames I reach for my hair and watch as the tips all the way to my scalp catch fire. My hair now turned into a flame flickers around me in a comforting manner giving me strength that I didn't know I lacked. A growl behind me makes me turn harshly, hands in front of me in a defensive posture, but what I face is the zombie maid that I saw last time. Her rotting face and yellow teeth show hate that is directed at me.

I instinctively hiss back at her, my flame hair flickering around me in a threatening manner. I barely feel my finger nails grow an inch or two long. She looks at me cautiously now circling around me like a predator. I follow her every move never taking my eyes off her and never backing down. Without warning she pounces towards me. I manage to dodge her blow while giving her one of my own. Her face bleeding from the large gash I have inflicted on her with my long nails and some burn marks cover her face as well.

Heavy foot steps sound through the room. I make the mistake of turning around to see who it is and the zombie maid takes advantage of my distraction and lounges at me again knocking me down. A scream in panic and lash out at her trying to free myself from her strong grip. When all of a sudden I'm struggling against air. Shocked I get in a sitting position to see the zombie maid on the floor with a deadly looking sword up against her throat.

"What do you think you are doing Sonya?" Thanatos says coldly

"Oh my Prince! How unexpected to see you here, I wasn't doing anything to your guest, I swear" her voice sounding dry but I could hear the fear laced in her words.

"Nothing you say? Well that's not what I saw when I entered this room." He says putting his sword up.

When the zombie named Sonya had pushed me down my flames had extinguished and my nails returned to normal except for the blood on my hands now. I look up again at Thanatos some fear and anger showing through my eyes, but he ignores me and removes one of his gloves revealing his pale white hand.
