"Lillian? Lillian, where are you?"daddy called out, looking under the bed. I giggled and ran out of my room, looking for a place to hide. I ran down the hall and entered a random room. At least I thought it was a random room. There was a huge fireplace that was constantly burning. I watched the fire, forgetting the world.
"Reach for it."a voice in my mind whispered. I walked up to the fireplace and gazed at the fire. It danced before my eyes, creating pictures of dances and balls. A girl and a boy kissed.
"Reach for it."the voice said, a bit louder. I reached for the pretty fire when daddy opened the door.
"Lill...Lillian, no!"he said, reaching out for me. But, I was consumed in dancing flames. I heard crackling and I fell on the floor.
When I woke up, I was in my bed, my father holding my hand. He smiled when he saw me waking up.
"Hey darling. How do you feel?"he said, rubbing the back of my hand. I smiled.
"What happened daddy?"I asked. He sighed.
"Darling ,that was dark fire. A witch put it there for you to find."he said. I didn't quite understand but as I got older, I quickly realized what this was. It was a curse.
