Oh yes the past can hurt, but the way I see it you can either run from it or learn from it.

It was like I was a witness in my own story. A mere stranger witnessing the horrors of the night. I stood idly aside watching my younger self press her hands on the hot glass of the blazing house, the flames nipping and kissing her palms, scarring her flesh.
The crying of the weeping willow could be heard in the distance, a tree that her mother was quite fond of for unfathomable reasons.
Fiore, who was normally afraid of this wailing tree merely casted it a fleeting glance her thoughts more occupied by her worry for her family than that of her fear of a tree.
Her heart wrenching sobs could be heard echoing in the distance of the silent night, each thump and thud of her fists growing louder with each swallowing flame.
By now half of the house was mere cinder the black slowly drawing in covering the entire glass.
One more knock that was all young Fiore could give before the intimidating flames forced her to step back as her house collapsed onto her mother, father and sister, burning her family along with her hopes, dreams, innocence, emotions and feelings.
The Fiore that was and the Fiore that is are two personalities that will never be the same.
Some may call her a wretch because of her lack of emotions and her lack of heart but that never bothered her what did bother Fiore however was the fact that they never did find out what started that fire.
The only thing she remembered was the alarmed look on the officers face as a man dressed in a black suit and black shades pointed a crooked index finger at him before rushing in a car and driving away.
She saw the officer approach a next and started muttering words too fast and too soft for her to hear but she remember hearing him mutter the words crocker and somehow she knew that town had everything to do with her family's death.
