Fires Collided

⁶²

I woke up in my bedroom.But I was so tired."What is going on?"I felt like my whole body was on fire."Hey hey hey.Welcome back to the land of the living Rose."I coughed."Baron?"He nodded.I tried to get out of the bed.Even though he insisted I did."Why am I here?I-I-I need to go to Sapienta."He laughed."You almost died 13 hours ago!You're not going anywhere!"I sighed."I need to.He can only hear me.I know because I was only able to hear him."I got up and I forced him to take me back to Sapienta.We packed my stuff.I left a note for Mrs.Crooks.We landed in Sapienta headquarters and I saw a gazette.Headline is BIG FIRE IN FERN MANOR.

I turned to Baron."Worse than I thought.We need to go."As soon as we stepped out of the headquarters I turned into a dragon and flew to the manor.I turned back to my human form."Ralph?Ralph?!RALPH?!"He wasn't there.I flew far away.While I was going over the mountains I saw a circle.A very gigantic one.Like a meteor fell there.Wait a minute!I flew down."RALPH?!"I got his head on my shoulder and started crying."Ralph!"I screamed his name and it hurt so bad."Ralph I'm so sorry!Whatever I did or didn't...I'm so sorry!"Then I heard him gasping."Ralph?"I placed his head on my lap.I brushed his hair away from his face."Ralph?"He got up on his own and even helped me."What the hell happened?"I sighed.I couldn't hold it in and I just hugged him.Tighter than I ever did to anyone."It doesn't matter.You basically just ripped out my heart but I'm ok."

Her figure fit right into my arms.And I buried my face into her neck.I was fighting with my father.Things got heated and I set the house on fire.I knew they got out but I couldn't hold it in anymore.I blew up.I heard her begging me to stop.Begging me because it hurts.Begging me because it burns.I thought it was just my mind playing tricks with me so I dismissed it.But it was her.She was burning.She was hurting.She looks like a wreck.I ripped her heart out.And she doesn't even care about that.I had a breakdown.I started crying."Shh...it's ok.I'm here."She let her fingers run through my hair.Taking me completely under her control.I hugged her so tight.Tighter than I ever did to anyone.I'm not a hugger in the first place.But if hugging meant holding her then I would do it forever."I'm sorry!I'm sorry Rose!"She broke down too."It's ok.It's alright.I'm fine.You will be fine."Then she whistled.A long whistle.I didn't understand why until a huge dragon showed up.

"Baul?""Kiddo is back.You don't look so good.Is this the guy you told me about?"I shook my head."No.This is Ralph."He chuckled."Bunny guy?"I nodded."Can you take us back?I know you don2t like it but I'm hurt.He's hurt.We both almost died and I don't thing tranforming into another thing than human won't help us."He rolled his eyes."You're going to tell me all about it?"I nodded."Hop on."I got Ralph by the hand and slowly dragged him to Baul.Baul took us back to the manor and left before anybody saw him.I finally found Baron.He was there looking for me."You're ok!"He hugged me."You were talking about...Ralph?"I nodded."I can't explain it.Not now."Then I felt dizzy and I blacked out.

"I told her not to move but no!She had to get up.She had to portal here.And she most definitely had to ran away the second she got out of the headquarters!"Baron complained all about how she didn't care about her health all the way to the hospital.Not until she was in her own hospital room I didn't realize she wasn't wearing her ring or bracelet.I found Baron immediately."Her jewlery?""What?"I sighed."The bracelet and ring she always wears for some unknown reason?They're gone!"He sighed."No they're not.I took them off while I was trying to keep her from dying.Thank you by the way."He took them both out of his pocket and I snatched it."My advice?Never take these off of her hand."I went back to her room and put them both on.A doctor came in and asked for me.I have nothing to be treated.I'm fine.But I couldn't make them believe me.They did their routine.I turned out to be fine and when I came back...her room was full with her family and friends.So instead I left.

I woke up and my room was filled with my family.Thent he doctor came in.I whispered her to come closer."I have a deal.You take them out of this room and make whatever you were going to do quick and I won't run away from the hospital.What do you think?"She was cool.She said it was ok.I acted like I was still sleeping and she took them all out after waking them up.Now it was just me and her."You had too many soul scars.I never thought one could get this close to death because of soul scars.But seems like it is possible after all."I chuckled."I'm a miracle I guess."She nodded with a smile."You are.But it's either you take this ring off or...the flame's owner pulls themselves together."I nodded."I-I'll talk to him."She sighed."Lastly your hand."She took my hand and took off the ring and bracelet."Can you not take them off?"She shook her head."Besides I'm just going to heal your hand.Then you can wear them back."I nodded.After she left the room I changed into an oversized shirt and a sweatpant.I later on wore my ring and bracelet.I was finally out of the room."Juniper?"He left after that and I turned my head to my side."Dex?"We hugged and Alex came with coffees."You're awake!"He gave the tray to Dex and hugged me tight.

"Can I go back home now?"He chuckled."Do you see our outfits?"I looked at them both."Uni-Oh no."Dex laughed."School started a week ago."I rolled my eyes."Perfect.Professor Dresden and Revera will be watching me again."We all chuckled and we went back to school.I got my timetable from Headmaster Lyre and went to my club tower.I changed into my uniform and went to Dresden's class."I'm sorry I'm late Professor Dresden.I just came back."He looked at me like he had something in mind."Don't go to your seat Ms.Monroe."What now?I sighed and walked over to him.

"We were talking about-"Then the door opened once again and this time Juniper came in with Ralph and onther friend of theirs."On second thought go to your seat Ms.Monroe.You too gentlemen.Except Mr.Fern."Oh oh.
