Bird of Fire

"I'll show you my domain." James said as Alex fell through the floor screaming. After the echoes faded he blew the golden flames from his hands. Such a pity she was gone, James did have hope for her, yet her arrogance and pure hatred for him prevented a good partnership from happening, such a shame. Jame had other things to attend to, such as: wiping everyone's memory of the 'earthquake' and of Alex. Such a shame.

What James didn't realise before walking out the room was that: even with magic, the floorboards would never look the same.

A pin could drop and be heard in the quiet, the man was still fresh in Alex's mind when Lithaen said:
"Do you want to crack the eggs?" Eggs? Alex looked over at Lithaen, who was making pancakes.
"Uh... sure?" Alex rose from the stool she was sitting on to crack the eggs in a mixing bowl.
"My sister always wanted to crack the eggs, if I did it without her she would get upset." A small smile graced her lips as she went on,
"My brother just sat and wait for them to be done, he could get so hungry sometimes."
"Where are they now?" Asked Alex, Lithaen's face went cold.
"Funny how green can mean go, but it is also the last thing one sees. If death was a color it wouldn't be black. It would be green" a moment of silence crept in. Green? What did she mean by that? Alex was puzzled by Lithaen's comment.
"What do you mean?" Asked Alex
"My family died in a car crash, my brother and sister were both badly injured and the last thing they saw and heard was a beeping green line." There was a long pause before she continued.

"The world is too loud without them, and it scares me."
