Ocean's Wings chp 7 Fire! Part 2
Yami looked and ran around madly, calling Tea's name. Hearing no answer, he turned to the oak tree they had ate under an hour ago, relieved to see that one of it's branches lead up to the art room window, which was still open. Running up the tree's bark, Yami managed to get through the window.
"Okay, I'm on the first floor, so Tea should be on the second." he thought, running out the room to be greeted by flames and...Music?
"What the...?" Yami voiced to himself, quickly moving to a safer place of the hallway. "Hello. This is the crimson firefly. If you pay close attention to the flames Yami, you'll notice their not burning you, at least not yet anyways." A male voice rang over the intercom, along side the music. Yami took a look at his surroundings, which wasn't much since the fire had claimed just about everything. But alas the voice was right, the flames weren't burning him. Flickering around the sides of the hall, they looked like chained dogs dying to be let loose however. "Ah...I hope I have your attention now Yami or your little friend won't live very long." the calm voice of the speaker spoke.
"Who the hell are you?" Yami screamed at the box." A friend whose decided to help you out. You did want the school to burn down didn't you?" Yami became silent at this remark. "I'll take your silence as a yes," the voice continued. "If you truly want to save the girl, you'll have to beat me at my own game. And seeing the fact that flames have always been my advantage, I'm going to give you a hint. So I'd advice you to pay attention."
"What do you mean by always? I don't know you!" Yami growled at the speaker. The voice just laughed in response.
"So you really don't remember? That's just priceless. Don't fret, I'm sure you'll remember me soon enough. I'm kinda hard to forget. We of the elite have always been better than normal people." I'm not going to answer the many questions I'm sure I just put in your head. You'll have to find me first. The game is simple; we're going to play cat and mouse, flame-style. I'll let the flames go, and we'll have to find and submit the other. I'm the nice big cat and you're the small insignificant mouse. Beat me and I'll tell you where she is. Deal?"
"I won't lose." "We'llsee about that. Can you beat the flame elite 'shadow'? I wonder. Game start!"
At the immediate departure of the voice, the flames picked up and raced to cover the unclaimed ground where Yami stood. The dogs had been unleashed. "Sit!" Yami swore, running quickly down the staircase, the flames following just as quickly.
Tea ran down the hallways, trying to find a sudden cry of help down one of the halls. "Please help me!" the female voice cried. "Tell me where you are!" Tea yelled back. The released flames finally caught on the 3rd floor. Tea saw the smoke. "I got to get out of here quickly!" she thought.
The flame elite calmly walked down the auditorium alleyways, his amber eyes glowing unnaturally. He needed not to run, for shadow would come here soon enough. The flames were his eyes he could see everything that was going on in the building. Focusing on the flames a bit, he found the girl running down the 3rd floor, while 'shadow' was in the basement, trying to turn on the emergency sprinklers. Rushing the flames quicker down the basement solved that little problem; 'shadow' no longer would be able to breathe down there. To mess with his mind even further, he made sure the song 'Burn Baby Burn', played on the voice boxes.
The teen laughed at his own cunning. He was 16, one year younger than Yami was. Also like Yami, he wore a collar of the same design, only a deep red color instead of black. He has chestnut brown hair and wore an attire of black jeans and a red shirt to match his eyes, along with a black leather jacket to match. He smiled at his leader's trust in him. Of course as usual he had a plan to follow up 'shadow's' accident. As the year went by, each one of the elite were supposed to visit 'shadow', giving his memories back with something he had done before. What was actually amazing about that was he was first picked to 'play'. A crash was sounded in the back of the room. 'Shadow' had come.
The flame elite walked on the wooden stage ready for the fight that was sure to commence.
"Show me your best shadow, or this won't last long." the elite spoke with contempt.
