"Ember?" Jake called through her bedroom door.

He waited another moment and knocked again and finally walked in when she didn't answer at all.

"Hey, didn't you hear me calling you?" he asked.

She was just sitting on the edge of her bed with an angry look on her face.

"Hello? Ember?" he said before he sat down beside her, finally pulling her from her thoughts.

"Oh, hey."

"What happened to you last night? You never came back to bed."

She just shook her head. "I just... found out some awful news is all."

"Like wh-"

"Shh," she quickly said cutting him off as she listened carefully.

She jumped up from her bed and quickly walked out into the hall and saw Raven heading downstairs. She was so angry at her she thought she might set her on fire right then and there.

"Raven!" she yelled out to her, making her stop and turn towards her. "Come here." She demanded.

Raven raised an eyebrow at Ember's anger before she walked up to her. "What's up?"

Ember tried so hard to keep her cool, she wanted to give Raven the chance to tell Scorpius herself, but her blood was literally boiling beneath her skin. She grabbed her tightly by the shirt with both hands and quickly let her go when Luna came walking past them.

"Are you girls alright?"

Ember quickly nodded.

"Well, breakfast is ready so I'll meet you down there."

"Ok, thanks Luna," Ember said sweetly before her eyes fell on Raven's again. "We need to talk."

"About what?" Raven snapped.

Ember walked back over to her room and gestured for her to walk in.

"You're acting like a complete psycho, there's no way I'm going in there with you."

She didn't expect Ember to move so quickly as she grabbed Raven's arm and dragged her across the hall, letting her hand burn her.

"You're hurting me!" she yelled at her.

"Well, then fuckin walk or I'll burn your flesh off." She said through clenched teeth,

Raven quickly ran into her bedroom where Jake still was.

"Jake, get out," Ember ordered.

"I don't know, I think I should st-"

"GET OUT!" Ember shouted.

He just gave her a hard stare before he nodded and left the room.

Ember shut the door and turned to Raven, her eyes burning into hers. "I know what you did... how you betrayed my brother like that... with Noah, who was my boyfriend at the time." She walked right up to her, fire whipping through her hair.

Raven back up against the wall in fear. "Please don't hurt me."

"Hurt you? I want to kill you, I am trying so hard not to burn you alive from the inside out you fuckin lying, attention seeking whore."

"It was a mistake, please, I'm sorry, please don't say anything to your brother." She begged her through her tears.

She grabbed Raven and pinned one of her arms against the wall as she held a ball of fire in her other hand right in front of her face.
