My Best Friend Rejected Me

Cold Flames

Kat's POV

"I wanted to apologize. I miss you Kat..."

"NO" I said and my hair burst into flames, yet I didn't feel a thing. "YOU CAN'T CALL ME THAT." He looked scared to all hell. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, as I calmed down the flames went away.

"Alright, Katherine... I wanted to ask if there was any way you could forgive me. I know I don't deserve it but if you could find it somewhere in your heart to-"

"What heart? The heart you turned cold the day you raped and beat me?" He flinched as if my cold words hurt him "Sorry, that heart doesn't work anymore." I said as tears threatened to fall. I heard Spencer open the basement door. I knew it was him because I could smell his scent.

I looked around but there was no place to hide. I wished I was able to be invisible but I knew that that was impossible so I put on a strong face ready to defend myself. He came down the steps and walked right past me like I wasn't even there. I looked over to Mike and he was looking around confused. I looked down and realized I was invisible and I remembered I had powers that did what I wanted. I could have some fun with this.

I slowly crept up the stairs, I was almost to the top when I hit a squeaky one and on instinct I blinked to my room. I looked in the mirror and watched myself slowly become visible. I had dried tears running down my face and my hair seemed almost black instead of it's usual light brown with gold streaks. That must have been from the fire hair. My hair didn't feel burnt or smell it, it was actually quite soft. I took a shower but that didn't seem to help, it was like hair dye. Maybe it would fade?

What would I tell Spencer though? I could tell him that I randomly discovered it but he might sense that I'm lying...I don't know. I'll just go with that then. Think of the devil and he shall appear. I noticed him in the mirror looking at me and I turned to face him.

"What happened to you hair?"

"I got mad and it caught fire." I said like it happens everyday. Because that was totally normal right?

"What?" He seemed pretty panicked and I thought that that was funny. "What did you get mad about?" He asked nervous and suspicious at the same time.

"I can't remember, but watch!" I closed my eyes and thought of Mike and him coming back thinking I would forgive him and him calling me Kat and when he beat and raped me and then abandoned us. His mate, his daughter. My hair burst into flames as I opened my eyes. He looked shocked but also awed, I turned into the mirror to see.

My hair was burning but it wasn't a normal fire. It was different purples and a few pinks and it was kind of beautiful. I remembered my father and it was suddenly blacks, greys and white, it didn't give me a happy feeling like the purples, it scared me. I turned to Spencer and he had the same horrified look on his face as I did. I closed my eyes and calmed myself down and felt the flames go away. Spencer still looked shocked so I turned around and my hair was a blood red.

I grabbed my hair and ran my fingers through it, it felt like silk and it matched the current grey eyes that I had. Ever since I was little my eyes changed colors. Not anymore than usual, they don't go from grey to red to purple or anything, it really just depends on my mood. This makes me wonder if I can control it..hmm.

"This is bizarre" I said still combing my fingers through my silky hair. "Do you think it will fade or do I have to find a way to fix it?" I asked as I turned to look at Spencer and he smiled at me whilst shaking his head.

"I have an idea or two." He said with a smirk and any time someone says that I get scared, don't ask me why. "Light up, mate." He said walking closer to me. I closed my eyes and once again thought of my father but it turned into me meeting Kris and then the bullies and the rejection. I didn't have to open my eyes to know the color of the flames but I did. Blue, the color of sorrow.

"Close your eyes again Kat.." He said. it was like he could feel the sadness coming from the flames, his voice cracked but he cleared it straight away. I did as he asked. I felt him lightly stroking my face and my arms then my neck and sides. 

"Focus on my touch, the feeling it gives you. Think of the comfort of your mate" I felt the flame change I pictured it a normal fire now, red orange, yellow, blue, "When you feel you are ready put out the fire" I waited a few more moments not wanting the feeling to last but reluctantly I put out the fire.

"Thank you, mate" I said a little breathlessly. That made him smirk a little manically as he kept stroking me.

"Any time." He stopped stroking me and engulfed me in a hug.

"Did it work?" I heard Kris ask and that made me leap away from Spencer's hug  almost halfway across the room. I don't know why I felt guilty Spencer is my mate. I looked in the mirror that was behind me, (Maybe if he asked I could say I was trying to get to the mirror after being reminded. Not because I felt bad about being caught hugging him by my other mate) and looked into it. Yup! Back to normal...Whatever that is.

Hey guys, do you likey her new power? I would love it if my hair caught on fire and changed colors based on my mood! I have writers block right now so I might not update for a bit. Unless some of y'all wanna give me some ideas I'm pooped. Thanks for reading though!
