Author's Note -----
Hey Guys!

[Changing subject] DollhouseSkye has made another couple pictures for me!

My pictures for this chapter...

TAAADAAA! What do you guys think?

My one and only friend...
Stop thinking about him. It'll just hurt you. You'll burn yourself, just like you burn others. I mentally scold myself, but it doesn't stop the tears from falling. I keep my head down as I walk.

Thunk!

"Ouch!" I yell. I rub the spot where my head connected with the tree. Probably should've looked up.

Ya think?

Yeah I do think.

Urg stop talking to yourself!

Ok fine. You shut up them.

...Fine!

Ok.

I sidestep from another tree. Whew! That was close!

Thunk!

What?!?! How?!?!

Yes I know, I just sidestepped into another tree. Ugh. What am I going to do with myself?

You're gonna walk back and tell Thomas that you made a terribly rash desicion and you're very sorry.

I thought you were shutting up.

Oh...sorry.

Suddenly hysterical laughter goes off. "Did you see your face?!?!" A voice yells. "You were like 'DER I'm running into trees!'" Gasps and more hysterical laughter. "Oh. Oh I can't even. Ah - HAHAHAHA!" I hear gasping for air. "And - HAHAHAHA - TWICE OH-! HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA!!!" The laughing continues behind me and I turn around.

"Excuse me, but who are you?" I ask politely, but yank my hoodie over my head.

There is a boy about my age rolling around on the ground. He has sea blue eyes and messed up blonde hair, from rolling around. He gets up holding his stomach. "Ok sorry I'm - HAHAHAHA - Ok I'm good now - HAHAHAHA sorry NOT. I'm the one and only Jonathon." He winks at me. "Guessing your not very pretty because of that hood over your face." He smirks and adjusts his leather jacket.

I smirk. I know he can my mouth. My hood; nor scar cover my mouth. My cherry red lips part in amusement. "No filter I'm guessing because of the confident and cocky attitude." He looks surprised and then laughs. His laugh us full of pleasure. "Ah! I love you already."

I pout. "Aww...I hate you already." Ok little extreme, but opposites right?

"Oh feisty, aren't we?" He walk over to me and towers over my small frame.

"Can you go mind your own business?" I snap

His smirks then rips my hood off. "Oh...you - you're the Flame."

"So what?" I snap again. I get up in his face and say, "And you are...?"

"I already said Jonathon." He gives me a total DUH face.

I can feel a cool aura lifting off of him. "No...you're...something else."

"Am I Flame? Am I?" He asks raising a blonde eyebrow.

"Yes." I say confidently.

He walks backwards and looks menacing. "Ha. Well, I think this will answer your question." A wave of water hits me - hard. Panic floods icy through my body. I never learned to swim. No one ever was around enough to take me to a public pool or teach me. I scream and freezing water floods my lungs. I panic and more water floods my body. I doggy paddle and reach the surface. I choke out my water and get a breath. I gasp for air and see Jonathon smirking at me. He send another wave at me, pulling me under again. Again I panic and scramble for the top. My struggle reaches its end as the waves recede.

I see triple and feel lightheaded. I mumble something as everything fades. "They call me The Wave." I can practically hear the smirk in his voice. "Goodnight Flame." My eyes close and everything goes black.
