Part V

"How does this look on me?" 

"It looks fine."

"How about this one?" 

"Its good."

"Roxy, it's not helpful if you say all of them are good." I said trying on new dresses at a dress warehouse.

"It's not my thing. Anything looks good on you." she said sitting by the window.

"Ok......how about this?" I asked her now wearing something that the popular girls would wear.

"Oh God no, that is too tight on you and too short. Stick to the long ones please." she said covering her eyes

I laughed because I wanted a response from her in any way I can that wasn't a "good" or "fine". My dress that I chose was pretty simple but very me. It was a royal blue silk corsetted dress that was long enough to touch the ground and I loved it. The only problem was that I needed shoes but I didn't have any money to buy them. My mom didn't have much money anyway so I only had enough to get the dress. We left the warhouse by nightfall and Roxy had to leave me because she wanted to get something to make the dress better and try to find shoes for me. Alone I was walking house and remembering the way back, it was dark and filled with shadows (this is perfect for Roxy). The main road wasn't lit to where I would feel comfortable but it started to walk faster home. 

 "I have a bad feeling about this" I thought to myself.

The further I walked the darker it was. I tried to get to high ground and in the open but I'm not good at finding my way so easily as Roxy. Cars pasted by me without a care and all I could see were the hedlights that blinded me as I got closer. Instinct came to mind and I followed it to lead me home but something was wrong it was like I was being followed. I turned around and saw shadows in the distance that pushed me to walk faster. Then I heard bottles breaking and laughter in te distance and fear started to pour in. The cold wind blew and I calmed me for a bit but then the laughter got closer and I smelled the smell of beer and alcohol. My body was at a panic but I didn't feel hotter as expected. 

"Hey there......." I voice called out to me.

I didn't answer but I was scared as hell. 

"Hey, what a good time?" the same voice called out.

I started to run at this point because I felt that their intention was more then to talk to me and according to there tone they didn't have much patience either. They ran after me and of coarse I was not fast enough and they ambushed me behind a nearby store. They were all drunk and taller than me. I did a good job in pushing them off but it was not use when they took on force.  I knew that they were unsatified with me fighting back and my clothes was being ripped and after shouting "stop" many times, I snapped. It was like the kind part of me  was pulled under water while the darker part of me rose to the surface. I couldn't control my body but all I could do was watch as I heated up. My hands were red hot and flames appeared when I touched their clothes. They backed away but when they noticed that their clothes were burnt, I didn't stop there. They tried to run but I surrounded them with a blazing fire and walked right through. They did what anyone would do to defend themselves by throwing bottles and knives but they melted before those could touch me. With every look, their skin began to burn until they themselves became ingulfed in the flames. Everything died down when they did. I couldn't hear their screams until after I noticed the effect of what I've done. The fire was so hot that it melted the pavement that drew a cirlce around the now dead corpses and that's when gult welcomed itself. 

"What have I done?"I asked myself.

"I would love to know too." Roxy said above me.

Roxy was on top of the store above me and seem to have saw the entire thing but she didn't seem afraid as I expected. She looked as if she didn't see the damage I've done but took up the bodies one by one and quickly buried each of them.
