Little Match Girl

Varinka Kuklev was always a force to be reckoned with. She had been setting people, places, and things from the young age of three. She had powers of fire and no intention of hiding them by pretending to be normal.

That is until she finds herself locked away, thrown into the cold with no chance of escape.

She lights fires to keep herself sane but they are not great enough to save her. She is effectively trapped with no way out.

Of course, that changes when the whole world is on fire. The apocalypse frees her and provides her with a friend who understands what it's like to not be alone. Their friendship is like the fire she can make, warm and unyielding.

But all fires can be put out eventually, and people sometimes leave their friends behind in the apocalypse. And sometimes those friends don't forgive them.
