Darkness, confinement and emptiness.

That’s what my days consisted of this day.

When I was younger I was full of life bouncy and cheerful with two pigtails and my signature blue ribbons in my shiny brown locks. I was that little girl that insisted on changing her outfit twice a day. One outfit before school and one after. To be honest I have no idea on my I insisted on doing this because now it seems bloody pointless and stupid as hell.

I haven’t been outside my room in 84 days (I’ve been counting) and although I yearn to feel rain on my pale skin and smell the wind outside, it’s for the better that I stay here away from those who I could hurt.

You may wonder why I feel I could hurt somebody and you want to know why?

I feel that way because I have in fact I didn’t just hurt our school football captain. No of course not.

I killed him instead. In fact I gave scalded him so bad that he died from the burns.

Nobody thought it was my fault. A malfunctioned light fixture caused the fire they said but that’s not true.

How do I know this you may ask and it’s pretty easy for me to know because I can control and can make fire?

I’m not sure how and that was the first time I found out I could do it but I can and I call myself an elemental because hey if I’m going to hide in my room forever and be classified as a freak by everybody who used to know me I think I deserve a kick ass name don’t you think?
