Fire Princess

Fire Breather

A small blue flame came out of my mouth as I blew. I watched him jump back in pain and that's when I aimed my hands at his neck. Burn. I thought as more blue flames came out of my hands. They hit his neck and he went up in flames. After a few long seconds the flames turned orange and he fell to his knees. I felt the rush and started shooting more and more flames at him till there was nothing but ash. He stopped crying and moving and I finally put down my hands.

I fell silently to my knees. I felt a hand on my shoulder and saw Lily.

"I'm here..." her voice was distant and I could barely hear it.

"Why are you doing this to me?" I asked in a strained voice. She didn't answer instead she leaned down and planted a kiss on my cheek.

"I love you..." Then like every other time she said those words she disappeared. Into nothing. The tears started flowing but I wiped them away angrily and stood up. I walked out of the alley to see Ginger standing outside the club doors. She ran to me and hugged me.

"Omg! Where were you I looked everywhere!" She said holding me and pushing back the hair from my face.

"I was....by the shop around the corner. I got bored sorry." I shrugged and she brushed off my lie. We walked arm and arm to her car. It was a black Avalanche with leather seats and an amazing system hooked up in the back. She turned on the radio and we headed to our "apartment".

We couldn't exactly afford the things we had. The car was stolen from Missouri. The apartment well lets just say Ginger was very very good friends with the manager. The furniture in the apartment? Stolen. The clothes we were wearing now? Stolen. Pretty much everything we had was stolen or "borrowed" or even we just found it in an abandoned house/apartment.

We pulled into the driveway of the very classy apartments and headed for our room. Our apartment was the biggest one in the building and on the very top floor of the huge estate. We had a view that over looked the city. I went straight to my room and began my daily sleep schedule.

1. Shower for like two hours.

2. Lay in bed thinking about my life

3. Wake up from nightmares and walk around the house for most the night.

Finally the sun started to rise and I started breakfast. At around 7am Ginger came out of her room yawning, wiping sleep from her eyes. "What's for breakfast?" she asked sitting in a bar stool at the island in the center of the kitchen .

"Cheese and egg omelets."I answered placing a plate on the table for her.

"Your not eating?" she asked after taking a big bite of her omelet.

"I - uh I'm not hungry." I said before walking back into my room. I layed down on my bed thinking about my power. Last night was the first time I used it since I did that to my family.

Four days. Four days ago I was arguing with my mom. She didn't like Justin my boyfriend. She said he wasn't her ideal boy. But hey I wasn't her ideal daughter either. She always wanted the perfect little American family but instead she got my drunk father that would hit, her my perfect baby sister that I loved so much, and me....the screw up. I didn't get excepted to the right college and I was involved with Justin.

We were in the living room while Justin and Rachel were upstairs.

"I told you I don't want that...thug in my house! " she screamed at me.

" Really mom? Its my boyfriend and he's not a thug he's a straight A student and he's never done anything wrong! Just because he has a few tattoos doesn't mean shit! "
