Chapter 15: Fire!

Jayden was home alone or well kind of. James and the team was outside. The others were asleep. Ji went to get groceries. So he was alone in the house.

Jayden was running through the house. Jayden wasn't scared. The others woke up and went to watch their parents train.

Jayden ran into a table and it fell. There was a lit candle on. Jayden ran away from the fire. He ran deeper into the house. Jayden was scared. He wanted his father. He NEEDED his father. He started crying silently. He hid in the farthest room from the fire.

Line Break

"Does anyone else smell smoke?" asked Shane. James sniffed. He did smell smoke. James looked up and he saw smoke coming from the Shiba House.

"Get the kids away from there!" James shouted. The parents grabbed the kids and drew them away from the fire.

A couple of minutes later, the fire department arrived. James looked for Jayden. He knew Jayden would be scared. When he didn't find him, he panicked.

He ran towards the burning building. A firefighter grabbed him.

"Sir, you can't go in there!" the young man cried.

"Do you have a son?" asked James.

"Yes," said the man.

"Would you rush into a burning building for him?" asked James.

"Yes," said the firefighter.

"Well, my son is in there and I am going to get him," said James. He jerked his arm away from the man and ran into the building. James couldn't see through the smoke, but he went deeper into the house.

"Jayden!" James called.

LINE BREAK- these are so lame, but very helpful

Jayden was scared. He couldn't breathe. He couldn't stop coughing. It was all dark. He started stumbling towards the door, but it was hot. Jayden backed up and started crying.

"Jayden!" Jayden heard his father call.

"Daddy!" Jayden called.

"Where are you?" James called to his son.

"Your room, Daddy!" Jayden shouted and he started coughing. James burst in and grabbed Jayden. He kicked the window out and jumped out with Jayden in his arms. Jayden was clinging to him and he was sobbing.

"Jayden, it's okay. You're safe now," said James.

"No. I started the fire," said Jayden," I ran into a candle."

"It's okay. It wasn't your fault," said James.

"Daddy, please hold me," said Jayden.

"Wouldn't let you go if my life depended on it," said James.
