Prologue
The house was covered in flames.
A girl, barely twelve years old, opened the door of her room, holding the sleeve of her nightgown over her mouth and nose, pressing her arm closer to her face as she coughed when she inhaled a dark, thick cloud of smoke. She stepped out into the hallway she gasped, and then clutched her throat when another round of coughing started.
Before she could inhale any more smoke she ran, making her way towards the end of the hall where her parents room was only to stop short when she saw the flames surrounding the few feet between her and the door, along with the entire door itself. Letting out a small sob she shook her head, her parents were in there, surrounded by fire. They were most likely dead.
Another anguished sob made it's way through her throat. "Mom, Dad." She called but there was no sound other than the cackle of the flames that were around her. She stared at the door, jumping only when she heard a large crack from above her. She looked up just in time to see a large chunk of plaster fall from the ceiling and managed to jump back to avoid it, but unfortunately as she jumped back she stumbled, landing on her back so when another crack sounded as another piece fell she couldn't manage to avoid it.
The large chunk of flaming plaster fell fast and hard, landing on the young girls thighs and stomach, covering her in flames. She let out a pain filled scream, along with another sob as she felt the air being knocked out of her, while flames started to engulf her. The girl squirmed, trying to crawl out from under the piece of ceiling that had fallen on her, but it out weighed her and she couldn't.
She felt as the flames ate through her nightgown and soon through her skin, as white hot agony rolled through her lower body and stomach, testing her limit of how much pain she could endure. She sobbed as she tried to crawl out from underneath the large piece once again, her fingernails digging into the hardwood floor until they bled but still, she had no luck getting away.
Knowing that her only chance at getting out of the house was getting out from under the plaster she sucked in a breath, trying to push down her panic, and sat up as far as she could, sticking both of her hands in the flame and grabbing a hold of the plaster. She shrieked, using all of the strength she had in her arms to push the plaster off of her, trying to ignore the fire- and her burning flesh.
She let out another cry as she got the heavy weight off of her and could breath once again, but she couldn't truly breath right, not with the smoke around her, not from the smoke she had already consumed and most certainly not from pain she felt coming from her arms and hands, along with the rest of her body as flames licked away at her skin.
Mustering us the strength she had left she rolled left, then right and again and again, managing to multiply the pain she felt, but put out the angry fire that heated and burned her body. Then she tried to catch her breath without inhaling anymore smoke as her body shook with pain and fear. Pushing herself on to her hands and knees she tried to get up, failing as the pain that consumed her body seemed to get worse, along with the fire around her that seemed to grow larger.
Giving it another try she managed to stand but leaned against a non burning wall as black spots clouded her vision, reminding her of the smoke that surrounded her. Once she was steady again she managed to take a step, screaming in agony as the pain became unbearable.
Holding her breath she took another painful step, and then another, slowly and very painfully making her way down the steps only to find the entire first floor of her house in flames. She looked around frantically, trying to find an escape route away from the fire that was far to close for comfort but found none .
That was the moment she her her mothers screams, a sound so pained, so anguished that the girl felt a fresh wave of sobs take over her, along with the new darkness taking completely over her. The girl collapsed, falling just inches away from the flames and sobbed when a excruciating pain took over her face, blinding her.
The last thing she noticed before she lost consciousness was two arms scooping her up, carrying her out of the house, along with the lost and hopeless screams of her mother as they echoed through the house and through her lonely, pained mind.
