okay, so I know this chapter is really short, but hey! I'll be updating more regular because I'm not at school for 2 weeks! So YAY for that! But BOO for being ill today! guess you can't win...

anyway, I'll make up for the short chapter by making the next one longer. but the content should be good.


I slowly drifted up to my room. Amara was sitting crossed legged on her bed reading something. Her head shot up when I opened the door, and gave me a look that had "guilty" written all over it. I cocked my head to the side.

"Don't be mad!" she said before I could ask her what was going on, "but I borrowed your book." She lifts up the cover of The Hunger Games. I smiled, glad that at long last Amara was taking reading tips from me.

"How you finding it?" I ask, lying down on my own bed. Amara sighs.

"Words can not describe it…" she says. I look over at her to see the lazy smile on her lips. I laugh before sitting up. Amara frowned at me. "What's wrong?" she asked, her voice laced with concern. I turn my head involuntary towards her.

"Nothing." I say simply, my response forced, but Amara knows me. She knows when not to pressure me. She shrugs casually and goes back to her book. But she's watching me from the corner of her eye. I lie gently back and take a few breaths. Then close my eyes as the darkness caresses my mind.


A stranger man leads me away. He turns suddenly, showing me the full force of his brilliant red eyes.

"Ma Cherie, you are no longer safe," he begins. But I shake my head. Cutting him off with a voice so different from my own.

"No, my friend, it is not I who is in danger…" I say my voice low, but sweet. It entices him, and his eyes never leave my own. I raise my hand, a brilliant green light shines off of it, causing this stranger to tear his gave away from my own to look. Then his eyes shoots back at me, panic running through them. A smile plays at my lips, but not my usual flirtatious smile, a smile that makes me want to rip my self apart if it were possible. A smile that says "your all mine" but not in a good way. The green glow escalates from my fingers, and then, my vision is gone. Filled with a green haze…


Far off, I hear a scream, which I first assume to be as Amara, before it dawns on me as my own. My body feels like it is on fire. I struggle to open my eyes, and when I do, I see that, in fact, my body is on fire. I hear Amara screaming from the door, her panicked voice breaking with emotion.

"HELP! ROXY'S IN TROUBLE" she yells, trying to get someone, anyone's attention. I try to keep calm, but the fire rages on. I start to wonder if anyone could hear Amara, who had now resigned into crying quite loudly whilst screaming for help.

"What is- holy crap!" came a voice. I had no idea who it was, but it sounded an awful lot like Evan. This was only confirmed when I heard "Aunty O, we need you!" and foot steps running towards the room. I hear the sudden gasp and knew Storm had entered. Within seconds, the flames are put to a stop, but then another pain fills the void. You know that pain you get when you sit in the bath after being sun burnt? Well that was the pain I was having right now. Only 100 times worse. I let out a terrified scream, even more scared to open my eye's now than I was before. The pain was much more intense than it were before but it didn't last long. I felt the needle being pressed into my skin, and then the drowsiness took over. But not before I heard Storm mutter to someone "I wonder what happened…"
