Chapter 10: ignis daemonium
The doctors finally released me after 2 weeks of multiple tests and scans, the only thing is, is that I never told them about my new found "gift". If I did tell them they probably would've sent me off to some mental institution... now that would've been Fun! NOT!
"So... are you happy to be coming back home?"
I glanced to my left where Tyler sat with his sparkling, genuine smile. His smile was contagious and I soon found my self giving him a small smile back.
"I'm not sure to be honest... I kind've liked being the center of attention..." I said, being completely serious. My parents never really payed me much attention so whenever I got hurt I always secretly enjoyed the extra attention put on myself.
"well... if it helps, you will always be the center of my world" Tyler smiled at me, it was one of those moments where you couldn't help but say 'awww'.
The drive back to my house was short, mainly because the time went fast with Tyler constantly trying to talk to me. He never brought up my parents, to that of which I am thankful for. For the entire 2 weeks of me being in the hospital, not once, did my parents try to contact me. Deep down I felt like something was wrong but I just didn't know what.
"Tyler.. What if something happened to my parents? They never tried to contact me at all... What if they died? What if..." Tyler shut me up with a kiss on my lips.
"Relax, There's something I need to tell you, I just didnt want to mention it while you were recovering." I looked at him, deep in the eyes. I could 'feel' that he was nervous and anxious to tell me something, but he was also scared.
"Tell me..." I whispered, just barely loud enough for him to hear me.
"Your parents tried to contact you... they.. they somehow knew that you gained a gift and had a near death experience. It was like it was planned.... Sammy... they said to keep you safe and not let the "ignis daemonium"-- as they called it- get to you. But that's all they said. They never said if or when they would be coming back, but they knew exactly what happened. I think..." He never finished his sentence. Instead he said it in his mind, knowing that I would be able to hear him. It was planned.
My breath hitched in my throat. So much had happened over the past few weeks that I couldn't comprehend what was going on anymore. My chest was rising and falling with each unsteady breath I took, Tyler staring deep in my eyes with a look that looked half guilty and half worried.
"I'm confused..." I shook my head trying to clear my thoughts. "They said to not let the ignis daemonium get me..." My brain was reeling. That word had a meaning, it meant something... I just couldn't figure out what exactly it meant.
"Yeah, I looked it up while you were unconsious one night, it has a meaning Sammy... I just don't think you want to hear it."
"Tell. Me."
"ignis daemonium is the latin word for fire demon." I stared at him blankly. Fire demons. Apparently, the ignis daemonium were coming for me. But why... my parents had said that my 'accident' was planned, they said for Tyler, my bestfriend, and boyfriend, to keep me safe. But what could he do. He had no power, he wasn't special in anyway.
A hurt look passed through Tylers eyes. Shit. I forgot about our mind-link. I still haven't found a way to control it yet. tyler just looked at me, then he shook his head slowly and walked out my front door. Everything was a blur, I don't know why he wwas so upset. My heart hurt just thinking about it.
Walking into my bedroom,, I looked around. I saw my phone on my bedside table, blinking a red light. I had a message, maybe it was from Tyler explaining why he just left with no explanation! Running to my phone, I saw on the screen..
From: Unknown Number
Message: Samantha, set fire to hell, as you once did. We are coming for you. Be prepared.
I stopped breathing, and the next thing I saw was the floor coming at me qquickly and everything going black.
