Invisible Wings

Chapter Two: Fire

I turned my body to find that a blaze of fire pierced the night. Smoke flew higher and higher until it disappeared into the atmosphere. Even though I was deep in the garden I could still feel the intense heat smother my face. I looked in horror at my home ablaze, and couldn't move a muscle. I was overwhelmed by shock and sadness for my childhood home.

A couple seconds went by until I could grasp what was going on. With all my strength I got out of the grasp of frozen terror, and jumped into action. I ran twards the shattered windows with the heat even more intense then before. The screams where dead scilent.

I didn't know what I was thinking, there was no hope that anyone survived the clutches of the flames, but I had foolish hope. Most of the people had gotten out, but I didn't see Eric or my father. I had to gamble.

I ran as fast as I could to avoid the wall of fire. Heat engulfed my whole body, it felt as if I was being roasted. With three sprints I was, somewhat, safely in the room. The walls produced flames of serpents and the roof was ever so slightly collapsing. Sweat tried to escape my pores, but in doing so turned into steam. The floor was littered with chunks of wood and cloth, burning as bright as the sun.

My eyes jolted to a body slowly roasting on a table. The smell of the burning flesh was unbareable. It was a woman with a long dress. Everything about her was indescribable, for she was nearly ash by now. I didn't care much for her because I needed to find someone still alive. I treated carefully through the blazing ball room to try to find anyone still alive. Minutes felt like days and walking felt like torture.

In the corner of my eye I saw a dark red dress with roses inbeded in the lineing. I turned to face her beautiful calm face. As fire roared around her she stood in the middle of it all without a care in the world. Her appearance calmed me so much that I almost thought of asking her for a quick dance in my still burning ball room. With her, everything felt ok.

Eric and my father where stuffed in the back of my mind by now. I walked calmly twards her beautiful violin figure and bowed ever so humbly. She lifted her ruffles of dress just a hair and bowed her head as she bent her knees. The heat seemed as if it was nothing more but a fly buzzing off. No worries no problems.

I lifted my hand with my palm up. She happily took my hand and we started to dance. The crackle of the growing fire became the music we danced to. My mind was clouded by the creature before me. I felt as if danceing was second nature to me now. As the fire grew more intense so did the dance. Faster Faster.

From my back I felt as if I had grown invisible Wings and I started to slowly hover as I danced. She seemed to have these wings as well, and flew with me in the air. Our formation of our dance held strong as we floated inch by inch through the ceiling and onto the second floor, which was also in a blaze.

Our eyes in lock we stared into our soals. Her beautiful bright blue eyes illuminated the already bright room. Her mask, a bright orange, just as the fire in her heart. Her lips a bright red, just as her lust for perfection. She was everthing she was all. Time seemed to go on and on, with no end to our eternal song.

We had reached the roof top and now we where engulfed in the stars above. The moon shone over her peteek features and wholesome body. We rose higher and higher till the mansion was nothing more than a spec down below us. Our music had ended and our dance was done. "Who are you?" I asked. "You will learn one day," she answered. As she said that her eyes produced sorrow and sadness, that passed onto me. "Goodbye for now my love," she said. And she slowly disappeared into embers of a fire. My grasp of her small soft hands had left me and I was alone high above the clouds. The stars became a blur and the earth became a shadow. Sleep took over my body and I was left to dream of impossible dreams.
