Chapter 1: Reylyn

Reylyn turned around, there she was. The configuration was after her again. But why? Reylyn wasn't special. She was just like every kid in the agaiator.

Her wings' tips were tinted black this morning. "You might as well just give in, Agni," the configuration muttered. "You'll be safe with me," her hands lit up red.

' Give in, Agni. She's right. She'll keep you safe.... The voice in her head muttered.

"It's Reylyn," she reminded her. "Don't even know why you're still after me," Reylyn twirled her dagger around in her hands. "I'm not special."

The confliguaration's head tilted. "Of course you're special, Agni. Only if you knew." she stepped towards Reylyn with a sneer.

Reylyn mimicked that sneer. The configuration reached to touch her arm, and Reylyn barely dodged it. The configuration couldn't hurt Reylyn, everytime she would touch her the wounds would heal instantly.

"Why don't you just give up already?" Reylyn asked. "You can't kill me,"

"Your one of them," The configuration sneered. "Of course you wouldn't know what they mean. You've been stuck in your little rebel group for half your life."

"Agaiator and I've been there since I was eight." Reylyn corrected. "My life's been better since I left."

"If you stayed with your family-."

Reylyn cut her off. "No, no excuses. The Agaiator raised me as their own. There a better family then Melani's rulers could ever be."

"Melani's rulers are your parents." the configuration snickered. "There weak without you. You could be useful,"

"Useful to you?" Reylyn chuckled. "You must be sick if you'd think I would help you. Let alone Melani's rulers."

"You have the count of ten till I make you come with me," The configuration warned as her gray eyes glowed yellow. "Ten."

"You know," Reylyn tainted. "For being a protector or whatever you are, you're surely failing miserably."

"Nine," The configuration fixed her eyes on the sun. "Eight." Her normal humanoid body turned into a blazing ball of fire.

Reylyn tilted her head in response. "I don't even know why you're still trying. You can't hurt me,"

"Seven,"

"Six," she taunted back.

"Five." The confliguartion's hands grew flames. "Four."

That had caught Reylyn's attention. "Didn't know configurations could do that," her voice faltered. "Three,"

The configuration smirked devilishly. "Yes, Reylyn Strass."

Reylyn swallowed. That was the first time the configuration had ever said her full name before. "Two,"

The configuration through the ball of flames towards Reylyn. It landed head on on Reylyn's shoulder. "One,"

Her wrists felt warm suddenly. Reylyn's wrist grew flames too, and she blacked out.
