The wind was blowing hard when I was walking back to Aquarius, I shivered as I hugged my arms around me. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath. Zach. Zach please, snap out of it. I can’t afford to lose you. I thought to myself. As I opened my eyes, I was trapped in a circle of flames. The flames dances before my eyes, the flames that weren’t there seconds ago. I started to run, but I was surrounded. I screamed in pain as the flaming tongues like my leg. I look down, my skin was burnt away and bare flesh was exposed. I tore my eyes away from the wound, lightning flashes across the sky. Jupiter. I concentrated, willed for the water particles around me to group together. Nothing happened, my elemental powers aren’t working. I look around, the flames were getting closer. I looked at the flames, the flames of Jupiter. I shook my head and muttered, “God-damn it.” And I ran into the flames.
The pain was almost instant, I bit down hard on my lip, tasting the blood. I collapsed on the grass, tears streaming down my face. I look back behind me and the fire was replaced by a burnt ring. My legs were badly burnt, I put my face into my hands and cried. The pain on my legs stung like hell, why is my life so shitty? I wanted to die, the pain is beyond anything that I have experienced before. The wet grass is now stain with blood and my legs were flecked with bits of grass. I pushed myself up, the pain in my legs was almost unbearable. As I walked back to Aquarius the sun started to rise, had I been out this long? I pushed my door opened and there was Emma (again) sitting on my bed with her head buried in her phone.
