Chapter Four: Fire of Many Types

4444

The firemen tried to save the house, but the wooden frame of the house collapsed as they sprayed it with many gallons of water in attempts to save it. Fortunately, they succeeded in saving all four members of the family, whose only remaining possessions of theirs was the clothes on their backs. However, they weren't to save something precious to them, as Marion kept pointing out.

"What's wrong, Marion?" Yan Lin, who just rushed to the scene along with her friends Kadma, Halinor and Cassidy (Nerissa was still in her bedroom), asked Marion.

The sobbing girl chocked a simple sentence as she picked up an inanimate object; it had burned fur and what used to be a red leather collar around its neck. Without delay, Yan Lin and the others understood as she tearfully chocked with all her energy "My doggy, Pepper," before going back to weeping and holding her beloved pet's body next to hers like a mother would a baby. Everyone outside where the former house stood, including the four guardians and Marion's family, hugged her and lamented along with her.

Meanwhile in Kandrakar, the council members joined for an urgent meeting.

"Brothers and sisters!" The Oracle announced with a low frown, "Tonight Nerissa, the Keeper of the Heart has found out she could control the Heart for other purposes and caused destruction and death."

"What should we do, sir?" a councilman questioned the all-powerful being.

"That is still pending since this is the first time this has ever happened, but I believe we should try to send her here so we can put her on trial, Althor." The Oracle replied in a firm voice.

"Where should her punishment if she's found guilty?" yet another asked The Oracle.

The Oracle sighed slightly. "If she continues this, Sura," he replied, "she'll be sent to Mount Thorus."

"MOUNT THORUS? THAT'S AMONG THE WORST PUNISHMENT POSSIBLE FOR ANYONE!" almost everyone in the council exclaimed as they started to argue and talk about it rapidly.

"SILENCE, EVERYONE!" Tibor, The Oracle's advisor, bellowed in attempt to quiet the councilmen.

Also at the same time, as Nerissa stood at her bedroom window, she became somewhat unsatisfied with her revenge on Marion, her school bully since Preschool even though it was initially satisfying to see her bully grieve over her fallen pet. Because of this, she started mentally plotting out a hit list of everyone who ever gave her hell. Only time would tell what would happen next…

End of chapter four

A/N: Whoa! Now that's short, even for me! Sorry if this chapter sucked (or you were confused at some parts), but I also hope you enjoyed reading it instead. Don't forget to post even a short review (more than just one to three words, please) before you go off to do whatever you're planning to do next.

Ja Ne!
