The light grew brighter now, an orangey-yellow that flickered off the walls and the surrounding items in the room. She could feel the heat, the burning warmth that made her want to run for the cool, still air that had surrounded her before. She started gasping for breath, the air was thinner now, filled with smoke and heat. The sharp scent of burning wood caused her to cough. Her eyes watered as the smoke touched them. She blinked repeatedly, the pain in her eyes getting worse each time. She screamed out, begging for someone, anyone to save her from the burning heat that roamed around the room. Her pleas feel on deaf ears, for nobody was around to hear or help her get free. She once again struggled against the tightly bound ropes that held her, desperately twisting her wrists as the flames devoured the furnishings around her. The bright fire licked at her immobilised arms. She could feel the flames burning her flesh. The smell of burning hair filled the room as her golden strands got caught in the heat.
