Adopted By Fall Out Boy

Chapter 51

Twyla's p.o.v.

I could see the anger flash into Nate's eyes. "What do you mean that she is dying!?" I try to keep posture strong and not flinch or show fear. "Nate I am so sor-"

Nate's hand begins to grow a bright red color and suddenly a blast of flames is thrown at me. I squeak and dodge is. Brittany states at Nate in shock. "Nate...?" His eyes are red, and so are his hands. "She is dying!? And you didn't even mention that to me when we were discussing the plan!?"

"Nate, I was going to but I didn't think you were going to go through with it! I'm sorry!!", I say quickly, trying to change his mind before I am burned to death. "Sorry doesn't cut it!", he growls out. He looks at Brittany, "Leave..", he says in a demanding voice. Brittany shakes her head and hugs him, before retreating with a hurt face. "You burned me.." For a moment it seemed as if the humanity came back into Nate. "I'm sorry Brittany... Please leave. I don't want to hurt you."

Brittany looked at me before leaving, obviously about to cry. Nate turns back to me and the humanity was gone. "Nate! You don't want to kill me! I am the only person who can save Brittany!" Nate walks closer to me, "I won't kill you. If you truly are the only one that can save her. I won't." I sigh in relief.

"But you still didn't tell me that my best friend will be slowly dying after we save her.  So for that you will pay!!!" His hands glow red again and his eyes become a dark red. He shoots fire at me and I try to hide. It fails.

I feel the fire burning. I hear the fire crackling. Nate is grinning at me. "You hurt her!!" I am frightened by him. "N-no I didn't! They did! I saved her!! I just need to heal her! It won't take too long! She will stay alive!! Most likely..."

The flames grow higher and soon I am unable to see. The heat is overwhelming, the sound is loud, the pain is excruciating. I try to run to the door but Nate appears in front of me. He grabs my wrist and there is even more pain. He burned me worse than the flames. He then disappears. I run out of the hotel. In front of me is a now completely burned down hotel.  All I see is ashes. 

Other people ask what is going on. Police come to me to ask what happened. I quickly explain what happened to me, leaving out Nate. Even if he did hurt me, I guess it wasn't really him. It was him being angry. When they aren't looking I turn invisible. I quickly heal myself and then go to where I can sense Nate's presence. I stay invisible as I watch him burn down several trees and start more houses on fire.

Suddenly something snaps in him and he is back to normal. He blinks several times then looks around. "Brittany..?", he calls out. His eyes widen and he begins to run to where they live.

Patrick stops him outside. "What's wrong with Brittany? She has burn marks on her arms!" Nate holds back tears. "Remember how I told you about Lina..? How she tried to transfer powers to me?" Patrick nods, "Yeah." Nate sighs, "It worked.. I have fire powers.. I may have.. Gotten angry at someone. Because Brittany is now slowly dying."

Patrick's happy face goes to sad. He covers his face with his hands. "Oh god... Can she save her?" Nate nods, "She said she could. But I'm not sure where she went."

I appear, "Hey.." Nate and Patrick look at me. "Twyla! I'm so sorry... Please save Brittany. I can't live without her..." I nod, "I will.. But I'm not forgiving you."

Nate smiles slightly before running inside to where Brittany is.
