I felt awake, but how could I be? The fire should of killed me. I am I in heavan? I tried to turn over and all I got was pain. There was no pain in heavan. I was alive and very, very burnt. I tried to open my eyes but they wouldnt open. I lifted my hand up to my face and all I could feel was scabs. All over my face were black scabs, on my eyes, my lips and my cheeks. I made a small noise,  that was all I could manage.

I was ugly. I started to make more noise and tried to get someones attention. Soon I could here a nurse next to me soothing me trying to calm me down.

"Its ok darling. Lets wipe that face now shall we!" She said in a kind voice. I soon felt warm soapy water on my face being wiped on my eyes,  lips and cheeks.  I opened my mouth and tried to speak. "Ello,"  my voice was barely a whisper. It was dry and croaky. The nurse smiled at me. "Dont try anything too hard now ok. You need to rest, you were in a very bad accident!" She told me. Memories cams flooding back. The pain as the fire seeped under my skin. The agony as I fell back and gave in to the pain.

As the days went on i slowly got my voice back and one glorious day after my nurse had washed my face with warm water I could feel some weight lifting off my eyelids. I could feel them getting lighter until they felt like normal. I tried to open them. Light flooded my vision and I had to shut them again because it was to light. "JESS! JESS COME QUICK I CAN OPEN MY EYES!" I shouted to my nurse that usually looks after me. "Cara! Oh my gosh, you can open them! Let me see show me!" She sounded very excited.  I once again fluttered my eyes open and Jess gasped. "Oh gosh,  your eyes are beautiful. They are soo green!" She gushed. Green? I was confused I had sky blue eyes that looked like sapphires, I always had.

I asked for a mirror. When Jess gave it to me I was very shocked to see moss green eyes instead of my usual blue. But then I got an even bigger shock, all of my hair was gone. All of it. My new green eyes soon welled up with tears and I began to sob. "Whats the matter dear?" Jess asked me. She had no idea,  she had waist long strawberry- blonde hair that complemented her chocolate eyes. I started to cry even more. I looked away from Jess and out of the window. I hadnt realised hpw sunny it was before. The silent tears were rolling down my face like rain. But soon that sadness was replaced with anger and confusion. How had the fire started? Was it an accident or did somone start it? Then a clap of thunder startled me out of my daydream. I was so angry and the weather seemed to match my mood.

i was still thinking about it later that day, I mean why would someone want to do that to me and my family. MY FAMILY! "JESS! JESS COME HERE QUICK! ITS REALLY IMPORTANT!" I shouted. She came running down the ward, an angry look on her little face. "What? What was so important that you had yo call me away from one of my other children. You are just as important as the other children in here, so whatever you have to say it can wait, ok," she stormed off down the ward. Well that went well I thought.
