'with great power comes great responsibility'. Starting a new school where you have no clue what's going on, who people are and what you are doing is a whole lot harder than I thought it would be. But now here comes the rock hard part... try doing this while realising that you have an abnormal power with you. Being able to move things with my mind and having to learn that everyone else in this school has got something to do with them that I thought was a myth my whole life is quite scary. But if you actually take life here by the balls and walk it off, being in a dorm full of new girls to meet, a hot guy who is in the football team and teachers who like you is actually making life so much better.

Paige Ignis has always loved fire, the crackling flames licking away the timber’s lifeline. Its fingers, strangling the logs as the smoky tentacles of its remains struggled to reach the sunlight; polluting the evening atmosphere. The stifling heat of the Inferno never sent flares of discomfort to her senses, even less than half a metre away she felt absurdly content. Paige worshipped the element of the bonfire, lived for its blaze, wondered at its depths, its creation and origin. Yet she couldn’t stand ash, her joy only lasted until the final few embers curled away to tiny sparks, then specks, before dissolving. However, once the eventual spitting had died away leaving only ashen, pallid remains, it was as if she had been overcome with a flash of schizophrenia, see shadows in its mould. Shaking uncontrollably, in a state of shock; with no ability to rise to consciousness. In this way she’d be withheld, no one having the nerve to move her distressed form. Her body would be frozen rigid with her features distorted into a grimace of personal demons and haunting memories. Hidden from the rest of civilization, with no way to extract or view her locked data; corroding her slowly from the inside. So why might you ponder do the people around her let her near a furnace, let her stare into the blaze, well its quite simple, they don’t stay with her long enough to care or be warned. To learn from their mistakes. It’s not easy being an orphan especially, when every carer she’s ever been with goes up in flames, literally. So the real questions are what is her addiction to fire? What nightmares tie her to ashes? How has she survived every arson she’s been in when the building and inhabitants have been reduced to dust? Why isn’t she on any state files? An unearthly child who rose from the ashes 10 years ago. A 13 year old with controlling emotions and a unique ability of survival, filled with suspicious affects. But what is this ability and where did it come from?
