Fire Girl (Book #1)

Chapter 27: Heaven?

Fiamettas P.O.V
I wake up to the sound of birds. Their song was beautiful. Opening my eyes I see a clear blue sky with beautiful white and fluffy clouds in it.

Is this heaven?

Morris puts his face I front of my view.

Nope, not heaven. Probably hell.

Demeter then puts her head over mine.

Or maybe neither....

"Fia! You're up! Thank the gods!" She squealed in my face

"Ow, Demeter. Headache, voice needs to hush a bit please" I cringe at her

"Oops sorry" she whispers and helps me up

"What happened? Last thing I knew the building went up in flames and I wasn't protected" I ask, "I should be dead"

"Well, we weren't exactly there when things blew sky high" Morris says, "but all we knew was when Cain and Guthrie came out from the rubble you were buried and knocked cold"

"We spent ages looking for you" Demeter said

I look around me and notice we were in the clearing that we had spent our last night before the attack in.

How am I alive?

"Where's everyone else?" I questions

"They went to look for food" Demeter says, "and I'm meant to be making shelters!" She yells and rushes to the middle of the clearing and begins making shelters out of the dirt.

Morris puts his hand in my shoulder, "glad you're alive firey"

"Thanks sunshine" I say and smile

"I mean, who else would I pick on?" He grins and walks off

"Ass" I mumble

Five minutes later and the rest of the gang comes through the trees and into the clearing. When they see me up and about I'm crushed by the hugs I get. Lucy literally shines with happiness and I swear Heath wasn't as cold as he usually was. I felt loved.

"Hey guys" I smile

"I'm so glad you're alive Fia!" Lucy squeals, "and look, barley a scratch on you as well!"

I look down and noticed that she's right. Shouldn't I be covered in scratches? A few broken bones? I look at Cain and Guthrie, silently asking for an explanation.

"I guess you all deserve to know what happened yea?" Cain asked

We all nodded because I want to know how I'm not dead. Everyone else just wants to know everything.

"Right then, we all better sit down then" Cain says and drops on the spot

We all follow suit and I look at him as he waits for everyone to shut up. When the finally do he begins his point of view on what happened.

"Right, so. The last thing I saw really was Fia leaning out to set the gas chambers on fire when she gets pulled out of the tornado. She yells that she's fine and we don't think anything of it until we hear screaming. It was that women wasn't it?" He looks at me

"Yea, she dragged me out and jumped me" I say

"All we hear from outside is Fia yelling to not drop the tornado and the screams of both her and that women. Now we wait and wait for Fia to return but she doesn't and then all we hear is 'I'm sorry boys' from Fia. I know what she's doing a split second before it happens and yell at her to not do it"

I smile sheepishly, "I had no other choice, I couldn't get rid of Ghosty"

"Ghosty?" Guthrie asks and laughs

I smile, "I gave her a nickname"

Everyone laughs at me and then Cain continues on.

"So before the base goes sky high I leave the tornado, whilst keeping the water at bay and rush at Fia"

"Scared the shit outta me" Guthrie said, "thought I'd lost both of yas"

"I don't know how I did it but I managed to cover myself in water and Fia, whilst keeping the tornado going" he said, "then the place went boom"

"That's when we came back and found you and Guthrie trying to find Fia" Lucy said

"Exactly" Guthrie said, "you were buried really far under the rubble. It took us hours to find you"

Demeter looked down, "we all thought you were dead"

"But I'm not, so cheer up!" I say, "we're all alive, that's all that matters rights? And Kinos gone!" I say, "Kinos gone. What are we gonna do now?" I ask

"Build our lives I guess" Cain says

"I ain't leaving yas" Demeter says and death glares everyone

"We ain't leaving you either De, don't worry" Heath says and I swear Demeter blushed

"So?" Morris asks, "where do we start?"

We all look around at each other. What do we do?

"Let's buy a house" Lucy giggled

I laugh, "with what Lucy?"

She looks down, "I'm nearly twenty" she says

I gape at her. No way. Twenty? She looks sixteen! And she's so childish. How in the world?

"It's a light elemental thing Fia. But because of my age, I can access my trust fund that my parents had set up for me before they....Passed" she whispered the last part

Guthrie claps, "well, lets do it!"

We all cheer. A house. With these people. I look at them all. They've been through so much, we've been through so much. And in so little time. This is my family. And I'm going to enjoy every moment I have with them.
