[:] The Candle Flame [:]

Hunters POV

I'd sigh, walking to my desk and getting out a stack of paper. I had promised Bloodvain that in return for him taking place as a lawyer for a few weeks in FalconClaw I'd write a few more essays. I'd hesitate, dipping my quill in the ink pot and beginning to write. I struggled this time, the constant worry and thought of the fact that this was a Lord I was writing for, I mean, I've always written for Lords but this was a Lord who had listened to what I had to say.
I simply couldn't mess up.
I continued to write, any mistake I made I would restart it from the beginning, hours after hours went by, I had to stop for a minute or two to refill the ink and even that felt like I was wasting time. The second I was done I sprinted back to my seat, grabbing the quill and writing as fast as I could. My hand started to ache but I had to continue, I simply couldn't stop now. It was like a loop. Once you started, you'd get caught up and would be unable to escape. I turned my head sightly looking at the lit candle I had on my desk. I was mesmerised by the flame, how it flickered back and for until. It burned out. Everything went black, everything had gone dark all of a sudden. I'd hold my head in my hands, pulling at my hair.
I couldn't do it.
It was to much.
I had to do it.
I'd fail otherwise.
But theres so much to do.
So little time.
Theres..so..much..
I'd break down, tears starting to stream down my face in panic. I was running out of time. I was running out of time. I was running out of time. I was running out of time. I was running out of time.
I'd throw the papers onto the floor, knocking the ink over with it. I'd growl, grabbing the candle to relight it so I could restart. I'd look through the desks until I found a lighter, I'd light the candle beginning to walk back to my desk.

Then..I tripped over the empty ink pot, dropping the candle over the paper and ink. My eyes widened as its flame, once calm and comforting grew, grew into a monster..
