Fire Fuels The Flame.

Serious problems.

Erica's POV

I wake up in the dark hospital room. I look around.

Mikayla's gone.

"Mi..Mikayla??" Suddenly something whips me in the face, I yell in pain as I look away.

Something hits me again, but on the neck. I gasp for air as I look at the 'someone'.

"V..Victoria..? How did you get here!" I panic.

"I tracked that microchip implanted in your arm." She snickers. She hits me again with something I'm not able to recognize. My head hits the pillow as I see black dots fill my vision. I'm whipped with something again and everything goes black.

I wake up. Where am I? Why can't I see? Is this really happening?! Did Victoria honestly attack me in a hospital? I feel the ropes on my wrist now. My ankles too. I have what I think is duct tape around my mouth onto my cheeks. I'm tied to what I think is a pole.

"Mmph!" I struggle to escape. I keep trying to escape. I hear quiet footsteps.

The person cups my face. I see a flashlight come to my face and a bright light blinds me.
I squint.

"Such a pretty thing you are. Such a shame that you had to go to waste." Victoria says.

"Lmfh!" I say, struggling.

"What was that? Pardon?" She mocks me. I feel her rip the duct tape off my mouth.

"Owh." She snickers.

"Let me go Victoria." I say, still trying to escape.

"Don't bother struggling. You'll never get out."

"I will. Just you wait. When I do.. I will kill you. And I plan on enjoying it."

"Sooner or later I'll have you shipped off to the AnimalFreak science lab. They'll exploit you.  Maybe even kill you." She snickers. I hear her move around. I see the lights turn on. The dark room becomes bright. I'm in the basement of my old house. Not the lab but the actual basement that we used for storage.

"I wish you would just leave me alone."

"And I wish you and your pesky friends would die." Victoria slaps me and leaves the basement. I still struggle to free myself. I give up, frustrated.

Suddenly, a idea comes to mind. I'll burn the ropes, trying not to burn myself.

So I put the idea/plan in motion, I create a fireball in my hand.

In a few seconds, the ropes get lit on fire. I panic a little as I feel the intense heat spread onto my clothes and everything.

Suddenly, the ropes turn to ash as all I see is fire.

Fire..
Fire...
OH SH-T I'M GOING DOWN IN FLAMES!

Mikayla's POV

I go into Erica's hospital room. No one's there. Maybe shes in the washroom? I wait in her room for about ten minutes.

Nothing.

I panic a little.
What if the dream she had was true? What if Victoria has her?

Okay.. Calm down.. Shes probably around here somewhere right? As if Victoria would have tracked her here by a microchip..

Right..?
I leave her room and go to the front desk.

"Miss.. Where is Erica Fire?"

"In her room. I already told you this."

"She's not there."

"What?" She gets up and goes into Erica's hospital room. She's not there. Like before. GONE.

I panic. My head fills with thoughts.
Thoughts about how Erica could be dead..  Who will Victoria come after next?
Shit.
