18 year old Katona Willows life changes when her parents die in a mysterious fire, and now she's wanted by a secret organisation, that could cost everything she is. 

 I ran as fast as I could into the broken front door of the house, now in flames.
"MOM! DAD! SIS!" I screamed through my hoarse voice. The fire was spreading and it was closing in all around me, it's tongues reaching to lick my heating skin. 
I searched and searched, but they were nowhere to be found. As I stared down, ready to give up, I noticed three blackened bodies lying against the wall. "No..." I whispered to myself. 
"NO!" I screamed as my eyes watered and tugged at my hair as I searched for a way out. I ran into the crisping dining room, jumping over flames. In desperation I ran into my parent's bedroom. The fire was growing closer to me and my only way out was the window, cracked in the heat. I leaped out and ran for the forest, only to find it engulfed in flames. The smoke overwhelmed me and filled my lungs. I felt my eyes close and my body fall to the ground as the world around me died in smoke and fire.
