I'm back :) yay haha
I apologise for the wait (again) I've had to resort to using my xbox to post updates, so I do when I can
Thank you to all those that have reviewed so far, I'm glad you're liking it :)
I hope I can keep it that way.
Have you ever done something that ripped your life apart?
Leave all the broken pieces lying around on the floor?
Was it your fault?
Did you put lives at risk?
All because of your stupid anger problems.
I have.
"Extremeley flamable?" Cat asked herself as she scanned the can, the orange warning on the back to be specific, she wanted to know what it meant, she blew the candles out quickly and made her way downstairs.
She looked around in the kitchen, going through drawers and cupboards, in search of one thing, a lighter, she finally found one.
With the lighter in one hand and the can of deodarant in the other, she walked through to the garden, in case anything went wrong.
She flicked the lighter a few times, waiting for the sparks and the gas to come together and make a flame.
She held the burning lighter in her hand, just watching the single flame for a moment, then she held up the deodarant can, she pressed it down.
The second the substance collided with the flame it ignited, the flame grew a lot bigger, shooting in the direction Cat was spraying, almost like a flamethrower, no, exactly like a flamethrower.
She liked this, she liked this a lot, she pulled the lighter away, still holding the can, and still spraying, the flame continued to burn.
She finally stopped, she had another idea, she walked down her garden off the decking, to the grass.
Using the spray she wrote her name "Cat" in the grass, once done she used the lighter to ignite the 'C'.
It didn't take long to spread through the other two letters, and soon she began spraying "Valentine" below, being careful to avoid the flames that burned the grass.
She stepped back and admired it, "Cat Valentine" written in flames, she was proud of it, she felt so free, just watching the burning, it was amazing.
-The next day-
Cat was in school, just another normal day, in the morning she went to check the garden to see what was left of her experiment the night before, she saw the "Cat Valentine" written in black, burnt grass blades.
She still had the lighter with her, she never wanted to lose it, it was like her new favorite toy.
Lunch time, Cat skipped down the hall and through the doors, she went over to the truck, asking for her food.
Once she had paid she turned to go find her friends, didn't take long.
She went over, seeing them all sitting down.
Tori, Robbie, Andre, Beck
And Jade...
Jade? why? Jade barely ever said a word to any of them anymore, since that night...
Cat sat down quietly, next to Andre, keeping her eyes firmly affixed on the table in front of her.
"Cat? you okay?" Tori asked looking at her, Cat looked up with a smile, "yeah I'm fine" She was doing everything to avoid looking at Jade, she was still scared of her, Jade never retaliated in any way, but Cat was always scared Jade would get her revenge.
"Why is she here?" Jade asked, cutting off Tori just before she could say something, Cat's heart dropped.
"Because she's our friend and she can sit here" Beck intervened, standing up for Cat, the two were like brother and sister, inseperable.
"I don't care, I don't want to share a table with... it" Jade was starting to get angry.
"She... has a name, and Cat can sit here if she wants" Beck was starting to raise his voice
"Then I'll just go" Jade shouted, catching the attention of most of the other students around.
"Bye" Beck kept his tone hushed this time.
Jade, now really angry, reached over the table, taking Cat's sandwich, she threw it back at Cat, in her face.
A mixture of lettuce, tomato, cucumber, cheese, ham and mayonaise, Cat wiped her face quickly, not wanting to look at Jade.
Jade stood up and walked round to Cat, standing behind her, Cat still kept her eyes down.
"Cat" Jade snapped, Cat finally turned to look at her, standing up as she did so, "Jade"
"Go and sit somewhere else" Jade ordered, Cat didn't want to talk.
"Cat sit down" Tori jumped to her aid, Cat was about to do so when Jade stopped her.
"None of them want you here, they don't like you" it was probably a lie, but Cat had a thing where she 'listened too much' and took everything to heart, so it upset her.
"Really?" Cat asked looking around the table at her 'friends'
Before any of them could say a word Jade continued, "they'll say no now because you're here, but when you're not, they tell the truth, no one likes you, you're stupid and annoying"
Cat's eyes were filling up, "gonna cry?" Jade asked, daring Cat to retaliate.
"Leave her alone" Tori stood up, standing between Jade and Cat.
"Whatever, they don't like you Cat" Jade shouted one more time before walking off.
Tori turned to Cat, she went to put her hand on her shoulder but the redhead cut her off.
"Don't touch me" she pushed her away and left.
She ran, and ran, and ran.
Out of school, down the street, across the road, through the park.
Never stopping once, tears streaming down her face.
Rage building more and more inside her, she just wanted to get home.
She opened the door, slamming it closed behind her, she shrieked at the top of her lungs.
Rage had taken over, Cat wasn't the one in control anymore, she needed something, something to burn.
It had to be big though, very big.
She searched the kitchen, nothing, she searched her room, she thought about setting her bed on fire but that might get out of control and burn the house down.
She went out into the garden, maybe she could burn the wooden furniture, or maybe, she could burn the garden shed?
She looked at it, the large wooden shed in the corner of her garden.
She walked over, opening the door, looking inside.
She scanned the shelves, and the floor, until she found something, a tank of petrol, presumably an emergency tank should the car ever be low on petrol.
She knew it was dangerous, she knew it could burn.
She twisted the lid and threw it on the floor, inhaling the scent, it was perfect, to Cat anyway.
She turned the tank upside down, letting the fluid run out, onto the wooden floor, she spread it all over, on the shelves, the table, the floor, everywhere.
Once the tank was empty she threw it aside, opening the door, she pulled out her box of matches, she struck one and threw it down.
She went out and shut the door as soon as she threw the match, she could already see the glow of the flame through the translucent window, she padlocked the shed door and walked away, sitting down in a reclinable chair on the deck.
The glow from behind the window grew stronger with every passing minute.
Before long Cat heard the roof of the shed collapse, a huge collum of black smoke went straight up.
Before long the frame of the shed was starting to catch, the fire was spreading to the oustide.
And soon, the whole thing was burning, a massive fireball.
Cat sat there, emotionless, watching it burn.
Inside though she was terrified.
She knew fire was her way of calming down.
But this, was bad.
She was getting worse.
She knew it was dangerous.
She knew people could get hurt.
But she liked it anyway.
