Fires Collided

We were just sitting there when I got a letter.Ralph snatched it."From Dexter to you."I got the letter and opened it.I didn't read it out loud.Thank God I didn't.

I told you!I told you he loved you.But you might want to check out what we just got in the mail labeled as 'URGENT'.This is creepy as hell!If they hadn't given names under the news I wouldn't have known it was you and Ralph because...you guys don't seem like yourselves.But other than that...I am so ahppy for you and cangratualtions on the engagement you dumbass hoe!

I looked back in the envelope and checked the piece of gazette he sent me."HOLY-"I covered my mouth."Ralph is this us?"He took the gazette and grabbed my hand."Let's go.The explanation is much urgent."We marched into his grandfather's office."What is this?"Jayden took the gazette from Ralph."They already have it on gazettes?!Oh my...This is much worse than I thought.Sit dwon you two."We sat down and he sat down after he calmed down."We need an explanation Mr.Fern.I mean I can see that it's me because I was always able to turn into my flame form but Ralph never even tried it."

"Long story short you two are literally made for each other."He paused."Legends say that there will always be two people that is created from the same spark if you're a fire.Same drop if you're a water.Same wind if you're an air and same seed if you're an earth.For now tales say that there has been a water couple.Two earth and no air or fire couple.So you two are basically a legend come true and this is also why the whole world knows about this right now.Whether you like it or not it's too late now.But because you two are made for each other doesn't mean that your feelings aren't real.You might think that but it's not.But basically you two are now more powerful than any other fires in the universe.You two are now complete.Your flames reunited."

I reached for Ralph's hand without breaking eye contact with Jayden."What are we going to do?""You guys need to lay low.Lay really low."I turned to Ralph.He turned to Jayden."Grandfather do you mind if we stay here?"He chuckled."Of course not.This is the only bulding that your father has no chance against.You both are safe here."I sighed."If it isn't too much to ask I want to write to my family and a friend of mine."He got up from his desk."My second study is at the other side of the manor.Close to your room.You can use it."I got up."Thank you."I turned to Ralph."You go.I'm going to talk with my grandfather about something."I nodded and left after thanking him once again.

I was just about to write to my family I received a lot of letters.All after each other.One by one.20 letters.Each after the other flew into the room. I was snatching let and right. I didn't even get to see who wrote me.I knew what they were all about so I only replied to few.My grandparents,Alex and Baron.I was looking for who wrote me to see who did.And I came across two letters that I didn't see coming.Dad and mom.I didn't have the guts to open them in my own.I found Ralph."Is everything ok?"I nodded."Yeah...They are.I just...I don't want to do this alone."I gave him the letters."Your parents?"I nodded."I know what my dad said but I know he could careless so I didn't even consider getting a letter from him ever again."He looked at the letters."Do you want me to open it?"I nodded."And read it."He nodded and sat on his bed.I sat next to him.

"Dear daughter,I don't know how it's possible but...you just wrote history.I don't have a lot to say other than congratulations because I don't fully understand what is happening.        -Damien Monroe,your father"

"Well it did take him three years to get used to the way I am.I wonder if mom told him?Anyways.Now it's mom."He sighed and opened the letter."No.I'm not reading this out loud and watch you tear yourself apart.No."He was going to put the letter back in the envelope."Don't.It's ok.They hate me and I'm ok with that.Please.Read it."He took the letter out and started to read it.

"Like it wasn't enough that you were a freak now you are that?I don't care what you say to justify yourself but you're no longer my daughter.I believe you know that.Tell me I'm a homophobic.Call me a bad mother but I raised you to be a normal girl.Not some freak who scares the crap out of me and has feelings for her own gender.I still don't know how to talk to your dad about this.Do you know how much trouble you're putting me through?It was your fault I lost my son.It was your grandparents' fault you got sorted in a freak show.It was all those movies you watched that turned you into an abomination.I don't even know you anymore.Stay away from me.And don't call me mom ever again."

I stood up."Fuck her.Like I wanted her to be my mom.You know what?Fuck them all!But she was right about two things.She doesn't know me.And it is my fault that Remi isn't here.I-I-I don't-I can't stay here.I-I need air."I turned around and left.I went up to the roof.I went over to the edge and sat down.I was sitting there silently when a woman came over."Hello."I turned over."Hi."I sighed."Rose."We shook hands."Michelle."We both started looking at the moon."So...you and my grandson?He did a great job falling for you."I turned to the woman once again."You're Jayden's wife Michelle?"She nodded.We were talking when Ralph came."Hey grandma.""Hello handsome.I'll give you two some privacy."She left and Ralph sat next to me."You were a kid.It wasn't your fault."I sighed."But it was.If I could've controlled myself Remi would be here.He could've been 10 years old.He could've been here with me.He could've knocked on my door when there was a thunder.He could've knocked on my door to get a gift for his girlfriend whom I would kill if she hurt him.I missed out on a lot because I couldn't control myself.It is my fault Ralph.My brother is dead because of me."
