7 soldiers wearing the same uniform as the broken man behind her opened fire upon her.
Pathetic
Dahlia dropped and rolled to her left, under the bed, and out the other side. She got to her feet and ran towards the closest soldier.
His legs where split, giving her the perfect opening to run at the soldier and slide along the ground, through his legs whilst grabbing the second gun on his waist band. The soldiers all turned at once at a complete mess, not quit understanding what just happened.
A soldier broke from the line and ran to her broken toy.
What a pus--
Dahlia didnt have time to finish her thought. Soldiers ran at, firing at nothing but air as she dodged each bullet. Making her way to the 'soon to be dead corpses'.

The man who she reached first had blond long hair with shiny blue eyes. Or at least they where...
In an instant her thumbs where impaled in the mans eyes, blood gushing out as if it where two waterfalls of blood falling to the ground.
Her hands where red with flames escaping from her fingertips, she had just enough time to look behind her to see her iron chains abandoned on the ground, bright red with heat.
A deafening scream erupted from the mans mouth and she threw him to the ground, just in time to dodge the group of soldiers only steps away.
Dahlia threw up her fire hands and screamed.
Everything in the room was thrown to the walls and a circle of bright blue flames circled around her feet as she walked towards one of the soldiers pinned to the wall upside down.
A viscous serpent smile that promised nothing but death spread across her face as she puts her hand over the mans face, burning her mark into his beautiful olive skin.

More soldiers stormed through the door and she snapped her head to face them without removing her hand.
Her eyes burned a bright red that sucked the light from the room and fueled the flames within her.
She lifted her arms into the arm and the room caught aflame. Screams exploded through the air yet not from the soldiers at the door.
They walked through the flames in stride and opened a path to let a small black haired boy walk to the front. His eyes where bright green as he held out his arms.
"Good to see someone is a worthy contestant" she grinned at him. The room plummeted into darkness as she called her fire back in and aimed them at the boy and his army.
The boy only grinned.
He was deflecting it all.
Black jesus if your up there. Help me. Please.
With her prayer sent, her flames changed from a beautiful explosion of light to nothing at all. The room was pure darkness yet somehow felt alive. She felt the world change beneath her feet. She could hear heart beats flow through her, could feel the soldiers blood pulse through there veins into there strong beating hearts.
She reached out to where she last saw the group and clenched her fists, the beating in her ears quieted until she could only hear one.
She let go of the cold grip she had on the boys heart and set the room alight. The soldiers around him lay dead on the ground, all pale and some with blood falling from there eyes.
"What are you" the boy of the ground whimpered as he clutched his heart.
As if those three words pulled her out of a darkness she didnt know she was in, she truly looked around. Corpses circled the boy on the ground and burnt bodies lay near the far walls. Everywhere and everything was burnt from her viscous flames.
What am I?
What have I done?
She had killed them. All of them.
They could have had families, partners, kids, and she had killed them all.
She fell to the ground in a heap of utter disbelief and clutched her shoulders and began to shake as a single tear escaped the cage she forced them in.
The boy got to his feet and knelt in front of her.
"Itll be fine" he said as he put a hand on her shoulder
"How on earth will this ever be fine?!" She yelled, "I killed them all!"
"And I killed my 2 brothers the first time I tried to use my powers but I got through it, I learnt to control them, and you can too"
"How?"
He got to his feet and held out his hand. "With my help youll not only learn to control your powers but you can save this country aswell "
She reached out and gripped his hand. His eyes glowed a bright green and in response hers glowed red.
"I've never met someone with your abilities but well figure it out. I'm Killian, the king assigned me to be your trainer for the next 2 weeks before we send you down." he pulled her to her feet "What do you wish to be called?"
"Dahlia"
"Why what a lovely name, I wish we didnt have to meet in this circumstance" he said as he looked around the room, "but leaving this behind, let's get you cleaned up and start your training"
He led her out the room, but not without a peak of what she had accomplished.
The room smelt of strong smoke and everything was destroyed.
She looked back at where the soldier who escorted her from her cell had layed.
Looks like your not going to be worth anything at all.
Dahlia walked out without a second glance and was prepared for her new life with infinite possibilities.

I know this is chapter is kinda messy but it's my first time trying to write a fight seen.
Hope you enjoyed anyways.
