The flames had engulfed the surrounding area, each person feeding into a new fear they didn't know exist. A figure had appeared walked through the red hot burning flames, not a single one touched their skin. It waved around like the wind had taken over it. Brushing it past them as if they didn't even feel the heat.

"We need to move him before he wakes up. It has to one of us." A man shouted as they tried to train there eyes from the looming shadow in the flames. The one that looked double there size. That didn't move from the center piece, it's own attention seemed to be watching.

"We're prey in the game." A man spoke as all eyes followed back to the figure. The flames still growing up the building. A terror that they wouldn't be able to get out of this situation.

"Give him back to me." A girls voice had now echoed through the warehouse. A taunting sound that had the men soon bursting in laughter.

"It's a gir-" his voice had cut through as the knife embedded between his eyes. The name scribbling across it had caught attention.

"This is his knife, but he's knocked out he's not a girl." The man spoke as the knife now laid in his hands. There eyes moved up to the flames as she had now stepped in front of them. She wore a small smile however her style was much different then expected.

"You're right," her smile dipped away as she looked to them, "he's not a girl."  She stood in front of the waving flames, not a single one would touch her. Her eyes had counted out how many people had been in the room. She was not her brother, but she wasn't going to be helpless now.

"It's a girl, get out of here. This isn't a girl lifestyle. Go make a sandwich of something." The man spoke as she had taken a single step forward.

"Or what?" She challenged as there was a small snap from his fingers. Her eyes narrowed down on each person as she had dipped back behind her. The flames didn't dare touch her as she had smiled.

"Then I suggest you come and find me." She spoke as she disappeared back into the flames. It was a messy few minutes nobody dared step past the flames, nobody chased after her until the knives began flying out of the flames.

"Well don't stand there get her." The man spoke in a low tone as he watched the few men left enter into the flames. He watched from outside the waving heat. It was quiet not a sound had escaped the flames besides the soft cracking he couldn't hear footsteps anymore.

Then the screaming had pierced the air, however it came from several different spoke around the building. All echoing around him as his eyes had dared look away from the entrance.

"Fatal mistake." She whispered from behind him as the knife in her hand had gone through his back. She step away as he hit his knees. Struggling to get the knife out of his back.

"I wouldn't move too much, might not want to make the poison spread too quickly." She spoke as the man looked back to her. His eyes looked as if they had seen a ghost. His eyes had widened before the knife had flown past her face. Embedded deeply into his right eye. His left eye rolled a second looking between the girl and the appearance behind her.

"You could've gotten yourself killed you idiot." He spoke from behind her. The terrifying figure that had scared the man to his death now. She had slightly bounced on the balls of her feet as her persona had quickly fell. She whipped around as a smile had taken over her features.

"And you got yourself partially kidnapped. Who's the idiot here." She spoke he stood there much taller then she was. He looked like a mess, the dark bags under his eyes. His hair a mess as he had rolled his eyes.

"Everybody wants to rule the world." He spoke revealing the plan that the men thought would work.

"Shame they couldn't keep Dagger King to themselves much longer." She spoke as she had turned back to the flames that engulfed the building more and more by the minute.

"Dottie I would hope you had a plan to escapee this rescue mission you seemed to hell bent on." Dagger spoke as Dottie glanced back hardly before smiling like a child.

"Better get ready to run." Dottie spoke as she had taken off into the flames again. It now was solved how they hadn't touched her, she was precise in moving away from each flame that tried to lick its way up her skin. She found no trouble getting out of the building. A quick glance back she could see him. In the flames that didn't dare touch him. They didn't even come close to waving his way in the wind.

"You're perfect for hell." Dottie states as she had watched him now leaving the building that slowly caved behind him. Never once daring to fall while he was in the place.

"Sounds just like my home one day. When I'm ready to go." Dagger states as the girl swirled the keys in her hand before they where tossed his way.

"Don't leave me behind, I don't think this world serves its purpose when I'm here with out you." Dottie states as she climbed into the vehicle, her eyes on the building that would bring some backlash toward them.

She didn't care, all she cared about right now was that her brother was safely in the car and they where headed home. He wasn't just MIA on some mission he was here now and he was in some way safer then he was.

She found comfort in his silence to not answer her. Maybe she knew better then everyone else he was Dagger he showed he cared in other ways. But words were not built for Dagger to say he cared. They where made for Dottie to tell him she cared, and for him to know he wasn't alone. Not when she was still breathing.
