Hannah's POV:

I fluttered my eyes open and screamed in agony as the pain engulfed me. I gazed at my arms only to see them covered in white scar tissue. I jolted up, ripping off the cords attached to me. The doctors tried to push me down, but found my skin was too hot to touch. I felt like I was burning alive because, well, I was. Jumping out of my bed, I bolted towards the door.

        Running past surprised faces, I made my way out of camp.  I didn't know where I was going, but my body did.  The water, a voice said, the water.  Without hesitation, I jumped into the lake.   I stared at my hands again to find they were mending.  Beautiful tan skin covered the once white scars. My skin did not feel like it was melting off anymore.
