The Lost Ones: Furnance of Fury

Chapter Five

Hello!!! I'm so so apologetic for the silence. Natalie was in shock . I've just been very busy with school and all the stress that comes with it. This is like a stolen moment. I hope this chapter is worth the wait.
Don't forget to vote and comment, love you guys so much!

Natalie's POV

I'm so tempted to explode with laughter right now but then, I can sense seriousness all over this wierd guy and call me crazy but a faint part of me actually sees some sense in the gibberish he's saying. Lost soul indeed. I mean, what the hell! But I can't deny that I'm attracted to this hunk of a man. He's face looks sculptured by heavens itself and I can see a hint of chest hairs. His arms looks like pillars and I wouldn't mind those arms wrapping me, holding me... wait! What am I thinking? I should be angry with this phantom, not getting aroused. But I just can't help it, he's so freaking hot! He looks like a fucking god! Not even... wait, did I just forget the name of my fiance? The one I love, the one I can't imagine life without? I try as much as I can but I can't remember his name. I try to think about my parents but I can hardly remember what they look like... I'm beginning to panic but I can't let him know all his gibberish is getting to me. Is this even remotely possible? Or is this just a bad dream? Why do I feel so at ease? So many questions are churning through my mind but I don't seem to have any answers.

"OK. I'm giving you the opportunity to convince me that calling the police is a bad idea. And I want to see substantial evidence." I tell him in my most serious voice.

He stares at me and then, he smiles and begin to step back. Is he trying to piss me off on purpose?

"What do you think you're do..."

"Just be patient though I know patience isn't one of your strong points. Now, hold out your hands and visualize them on fire."

"I'm calling the..."

"Just do it!" He says sternly.

I put out my hands and I visualize fire like he said. I start feeling funny, like this warmth from my belly starts moving up and towards my hands. I want to say something but I can't. My throat feels so dry. It's like the warmth has taken every iota of moisture in my body. Suddenly, my palms burst into flames.

Kevin's POV

Natalie was just magnificent. She's the best of her reincarnation so far. She's incredible. I mean, I won't even have to go through the basics with her. She practically lit herself up without trying and she looks so stunning. Words can't begin to describe what I'm feeling now. I'm like a proud parent, lover, sibling, tutor all rolled into one.

"I'm on fire. Kevin. I'm. On. Fire. What am I supposed to do? I could burn everything. I can't control it, it's getting bigger. Kevin, it's moving up my arms. Why doesn't it hurt? Kev..."

"Hush." I interrupt.

"The more your emotions are out of control, the bigger it gets. Yes, you could burn this place down but you won't. The key is in visualizing. If you want it bigger, see bigger. If you want it smaller, see smaller. But remember, if you let your emotions get the better of you, your flame would destroy everything. I could attempt to tame you but the other Lost Ones are the only ones that can adequately put each other in place."

"That's quite a lot of information." She said as she was able to end her fire. She's remarkable.

"You'll have to go into trance to communicate with your previous selves. I don't know what they'll tell you because you've never told me. They'll tell you everything you need to know."

"How long is the trance supposed to be?" She asks suspiciously.

"Hahahahaha. Don't worry, it would be long enough. I won't touch you while you're unconscious. I would wait till you ask me to." I say mischievously.

She gives me a withering stare down that would have ended a lesser man but I just laugh.

"Hurry and do it before I change my mind."
