He threw the lighter on the floor. "I'm sorry guys. He whipped me like crazy. One more lash and I would have died. He gave me my life in trade for this. Tonight's punishment."

At that the lighter melted into the floor. Then large spikes poked up to 3 ft out of the floor. The chains receded into the roof making us lose hope of hanging onto the chains.

"We all started to cry and started hopping around. One pierced my foot. "Aaaugh!" "I'm not used to pain!" Everyone took gasps of pain. Lays had tears streaming down her face. She makes herself seem tough but she isn't. Then, being the good big sister she is Lays picked me up.
      She was balancing on the side of the spikes though tears still streamed down her face. "We'll be okay." She said quietly. Then I had an idea! My... POWERS!! It's so weird to say it. But I can form fireballs.
      "Lays! Our powers!" I whispered. She raised an eyebrow. "Erm?" "Duh! I can form fireballs!! You can form objects!! Yep.. Mmhhmm... Yessss! Ok." At that I clapped my hands. "HELLLO! Here you can have some food!!" Someone threw a shoe at her.
       "Hey! *gasp* BLONDIE!! THERE IS NO FOOD!!" I formed a fireball in my hand as I rolled my eyes. All the kids backed into a corner. "WITCH!! SORCER!!" They all cried. "No, no," Sprite said. "Spy." She said pointing to herself.
       Then she threw the ball 'o' fire at the roof. It burned a whole through it and the loose pieces disintegrated. Then Lays closed her eyes. Everyone screamed. The spikes got bigger! All of sudden... Puppies started coming through the roof.
        Needless to say they all died, skewering themselves on the spikes. "You want us to eat THAT!?" Deneisha screamed. "Of course she does. They're witches remember." Tess said. (STILL GASPING IN PAIN!!) Sprite had to try real hard not to throw a fireball at Tess. Tess smirked in pulled back her black hair and but her lip. That jerk! Lays thought.
       Lays scrunched her face harder. This time.. Plastic hotdogs fell through. Sprite screamed louder than anyone else and tears trickled down her face. The spikes were bouncing!! "It's not gonna work Lays!" Sprite cried. "I think you're making it worse!" Lays crinkled her nose. Hot soup poured from the ceiling onto everyone. It burned the boy's bare backs. "STOP IT!!!" Everyone cried. Lays burst into tears from pain and hurt.
       'This place must have really broke her.' Sprite thought. 'Back home she would never cry over this!'
