I am the fire, I am the burning.
I am a new life, rising from the ashes like a phoenix in the fog.
There is no disappointment left in my body.
No sadness, no weakness, no fear.
I am not ashamed of dying this way.
I am no longer terrified
I am angry.

I looked up towards Will in terror. I lifted my head a little more.
The ceiling above us was falling.

Epilogue:
Evelina POV-
"Everyone run out of the building!" Will yelled.
"We need to get Blaise she can die in here!" I screamed at him.
"Blaise is strong, she can do this on her own. Help me get the people out now!"
I ignored Will's words and started running towards the arena. There was no more tears streaming down my face, but the saltiness was still there.
I reached the bars before jumping down. I was at least fifteen feet high and jumping wasn't the answer. I could barely run with my sprained ankle.
I looked every where for a solution down. Nothing. I thought once more about jumping, but I couldn't. I would break my leg, and possibly my other one.
Someones arms wrapped around me, I started screeching and squirming.
"Evelina what were thinking? Jumping!?" I turned around to see that it was Will again. "We have to leave! There is too much fire and smoke we will all die if we do-"
I pushed Will away from me and started sprinting towards the fence. Without grabbing anything I jumped over the fence and started falling. Crack!
I fell exactly on my bad foot. Now it was shattered, it wasn't just broken this time.
I started to wipe some tears away, but I didn't care. I had to get to Blaise, otherwise she would die here.
Blaise was collapsed on the floor next to the box with the boiling oil. Her entire body was motionless, but she was still breathing.
"Blaise!" I sighed.
I tried to pull her up and carry her, but I was limping. I couldn't get five feet without collapsing.
I turned around and couldn't believe what I was staring at.
Red and orange flames were surrounding us. The heat from the fire was unbearable. The blazing fire was getting closer to us; all I could hear was the loud thumping of my heart.
The arena was engulfed with flames and smoke; reducing the visibility to near zero. I wiped my brow as the sweat was pouring down my face. The red flame came closer to us.
I looked back towards Blaise.
"Blaise! Please, please wake up! I can't go on without you! I could never live without you. Please wake up! Stop the fire, control it. I know you can, somewhere inside you you can stop all of this. Cause if you don't. We will both die here, and maybe thats whats supposed to happen… But we have to leave! Please wake up! Please please please." I sobbed.
"Please…" I whispered one last breath, before the smoke started to fill into my lungs.
And at that second Blaise's eyes opened, and they weren't her usual brownish greenish. They were black, black as coal.
I couldn't find the effort to say something, anything, but I didn't need to because what happened to Blaise is something I could never forget.
She ran towards the fire, but there was something on her back. There were dark wings, torn, and tattered. And then I realized, she is a fallen angel, her wings are torn, her immortality stripped from her. However, she did not die. For she is dead on the inside.
Her body vanished into the flames, but the fire stopped.
I saw her running back towards me, but she collapsed. The fire eating her up from the inside. I tried to lift my body, but my field of vision vanished.

Blaise POV-
I know I am in Idris. Everything is green and light. I see a giant Cathedral and it looks old. I start to walk up the stairs leading to the two giant double doors of the Cathedral.
My toes touch the threshold and suddenly I feel like I am on fire, like the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life. The pain is all over my body, and then suddenly I feel two large hands with claws dig into my shoulders and spin me around. Right in my face is this pale face with blacked out eyes and a unnatural smile. No teeth, just the outline of a smile, and black inside the mouth. It has no feet and hovers a few inches from the ground and has black ragged robes draped over its body.
I turn to run, and then I am in this room with a lot of beds. All around me are children. Some of them are missing faces or limbs, and some are just energy balls, or spirits. They are telling me to be quiet and hide. I start to run, and the thing is searching for me and singing in the most atrocious male voice. It sings one two THREE come count on me... one two three don't hit three come count on me. I run to a bed and climb under the sheet, and then I am suddenly awake.
For a brief moment after I awaken, I see a man standing by my bed and holding my arm, and then he's gone. A strange dark mist covers my field of vision, and I hear the man screeching my name. BLAISE! BLAISE!
I woke up screeching and sobbing. I was breathing forcefully.
"She's awake! Get the others! Blaise! It was just a nightmare you're okay!" I turned and saw Evelina, it was all just a nightmare.
"Lina…" I sighed. No tears, no terror. Just confusion and relief.
Im sorry this chapter is short and that I am late. I have been very sick. I wasn't feeling good enough to open my computer, get on this website and upload it. The epilogue is very sloppy and unorganized and I apologize. Something happened to my computer and I lost all my documents for this story. So it may take me longer to upload...
Anyways, I hope you guys like it so far, I had such a fun time writing it. The first chapter will be out maybe next week. Don't forget to leave a review and to favorite and follow my stories.
I really hope you guys liked it!
