The Hands of Death

Turning up the heat

In the next few seconds that pass I realize I'm shaking a lot and Jamie is shaking too. It starts to get in response to that I start to sweat a lot. Light is brought back to our eyes but we notice we are no longer in the same room. I release Jamie's hand and see the new room we are in. It is made of complete glass and is see-through.

There is fire all around that is producing an array of red light. That's all I can see for what appears to be miles. I turned around to see that Jamie was slumped down onto the floor. I rush over to him. I put my hand on his face and he is burning up. I start to panic. Then I remember the voice saying something about our zodiac signs and saying that I'm a Sagittarius from what I remember I'm a fire sign which means I can control fire.

I look over at Jamie and say "I will cool it down in here I promise" I see his sweating head move a quarter of an inch I take that as a nod. I put my hand up to the glass but all I do is melt it. I hear Jamie wince in pain behind me. Then I remember Jamie is a Pisces and they control water so I rushed over to him and told him " think wet thoughts and point your hand at the fire."

I sit down next to him trying to prop him up on my body. Three seconds later all the fire is out with both of us drenched in the water we hug each other. He kisses me on the cheek and says " Thank you, Royal, for a minute there I thought I was going to die-I mean overheat badly." I blush then say "No problem, it's the least I could do." I turn my attention to how we will get out of this box.

I touch the glass and it instantly melts. I shriek in confusion. Jamie gets up and walks over to give me a hug I guess to see if I'm ok but as soon as our skin touches he instantly recoils in fear. I look at him with a curious and perplexed look on my face then he points at my skin. It's burning hot red just like the fire that was outside the glass box.

From that moment I realized that I was dreaming, so I said: " pinch me so this nightmare can end please?" Jamie walked over and pinched but the only thing I got was a large amount of pain in my arm. I close my eyes and think I want to go home and be in my bed asleep. When I open my eyes I see I am in my room in what appears to be my bed but now everything looks different there are ripped white curtains sprawled across the window.

The windows themselves are boarded up. The sheets of my bed are dirty brown and moldy. I feel something crawling up my leg I scream I look on the sheet and see a nest load of roaches crawling all over me and my body and scream and thrash to try and get free but nothing works all I do know is that my emotions skyrocket and I hear someone scream in the faint distance.
