Fires Collided

¹⁴

After dinner we met up and I tried over and over again.But then I got tired and we took a break."Why do you want to learn it so bad even though Professor Revera said it could kill you?"I sighed."I need to prove myself to my parents!That's why!They think I'M some evil mosnter now that I'm in Dragondeth.But I'm me!I'm still their daughter.Whether they like it or not I am.And I want them to be miserable because they saw me less from themselves.My best friend got used to it.His parents got used to it.Hell my entire bloodline was waiting for this moment.Entire bloodline expect...my parents."

"Wow.I'm sorry I didn't know."I sighed."How could you know?I don't talk about it.I don't talk about how I use every bit of will power in me everytime I feel something.I lost myself a while ago.If it wasn't for you guys...this tower or this school wouldn't have been standing on this very ground."He sighed and got up."C'mon.We have parents to make miserable.Get to practicing."

This went on for months.I would try.Hafl way there I would fail.Until today.I did it."Wow."But then I got distracted and went back to my human form."Wow.Just-That was incredible Rose!"I laughed."I did it.I-I-I have to go."I saw Dexter on my way to write to Alex and hugged him.He turned me around."You're excited."I nodded."I need to go though.Nice to see you."I ran to our club tower.I sent a fire message to Alex.He replied with a letter.

You did it?I mean you actually did it?If so...I knew you could do it!You worked so hard on it and I know you've been wroking on it with Baron for months.Do you want me to tell your grandparents?Because I will if you want.I can totally keep a secret but this is all just so...thrilling.Get back to me fast.

I told him not to tell anyone and he respected that.Then I had to calm down because they were starting to think I was going crazy.I went to the kitchen to get myself something to drink.I saw headmaster Lyre talking with the chef and he saw me."Ms.Monroe?"I walked over in my pyjamas."Headmaster Lyre."Chef left and it was the two of us."What are you doing here Ms.Monroe?"I sighed."I was looking for something different than water to drink.Preperably coffee.Black."He chuckled."It's after hours.You shouldn't leave your club tower.Go back."I nodded and left.Baron and the team members were talking strategies when I came back.I thought I would watch them for a little action.

I sat on an armchair at the corner.They didn't even notice me.I was invisible.Wait did I take a potion?No.Yeah it's totally them.A while after and when I say a while I mean like three hours.Three whole ass hours.Great stratedies though.Can't say that they'll lose.I was sitting there.Bended knees and my arms around my legs.Watching them silently.It was nice.But very creepy.I mean I've been sitting here for over three hours now and nobody even noticed that something was out of place.Until finally Baron saw me before he dismissed them."Rose?"I kept my position."Oh no.Don't mind me.Just like the past three hours.I'm not even here.This is a dream."

Then Juniper spoke up."None of us would dream of a strategy meeting in the middle of the night."He had a point."Fiiine.I needed action.And it's been good so far."Ralph rolled his eyes."Go to bed Rose."I turned to Baron."Ugh!You and your big brother insticts.They had to kick in didn't they?"I rolled my eyes and left.Then as the boys went to their room Baron came up to me."Now you did it...are we meeting up either way?"I sighed."I need to learn to keep myself concantrated.I need to handle that part on my own.But thank you very much Baron."

"I hope you make them feel miserable like you want."He played with my hair like I was a dog."If you're doing something do it properly."Then I turned into a dog."You're an idiot.And a weirdo.And a dumbass.I don't know how you get good grades Monroe.I really don't."Then he walked away and I turned back to my human form.I was about to enter the girls bedroom but the door started squicking so I just turned into a butterfly and settled down on my bed.Wow.This thing is actually very helpful.It is.

Following few weeks I learned how to keep myself concantrated.I did it on my own.And now that practice with Baron was over I got back to spending the nights with Ivory in the bathroom."I need to tell you something."I was actually worried.She seemed upset."What is it?"She sighed."I can't.Not anymore.I can't do this."I smiled."You suggested and I liked the idea.I'm fine with it if you want it to end."We hugged and agreed to be friends only.I knew it wasn't going to go on like this for the following 5 years she's here.It's alright.

I stayed in the bathroom even after she left.I locked every enterance to the bathroom and tried to turn.I turned and I kept myself concantrated.And I felt something.I felt that something clicked in me.Like I was alive again.Then I opened my eyes and saw my full body flame.I turned back to my human form still amazed by what I just achieved.I didn't tell anyone though.It was forbidden and very dangerous to do so and I did it anyway in the school grounds.

I went to my dormitory and to my surprise it was empty then I heard voices.More like yelling.It was...Pheonix Fern?"I hid myself under the desk and just waited for him to leave."You...You have done nothing but fail this year.You're lucky my lawyers were able to get me away from that Monroe girl's grandparents.You need to keep her close.Not bully her!She has already skipped the firdst year of emotion control class.I heard that she's doing a way better job than you did last year on Defense!YOU NEED TO GET YOURSELF TOGETHER!"Ralph wasn't taking it well.

"I won't get close to someone unless I want to.I won't listen to your orders anymore!I will act however I want towards Monroe.It's not my fucking fault that she provoked you dad.I will kill her if I feel like it."What the hell?What the fucking hell?I mean I get that he might not like me.Even hate me.But killing me?That's a bit cencerning don't you think?
