LAST CHAPTER WAS AWFUL. K. IT WAS ONLY 900 WORDS. So.. I'm gonna stay up for another 6 hours to finish this. You're welcome.

READ!: The story will now only be held in Austin's POV. I might add a tiny bit of Ally's here and there, but it'll remain as Austin's. So, there's the answer to your un-asked question(s).

Austin POV

The sphere of flames began to truly form. Ally and I both used strong efforts to smooth it over, flames blanketing other flames. It looked more like a rock on fire than a pure sphere of embers. Almost lava-like. Maybe Ally's fire worked differently than mine..

The sphere was complete, and I took the first step back, nervously hovering my fingers under it so it wouldn't fall or explode. Ally and I quickly jumped back away from it, looking at it closely. Nothing happened. It had a slight crackling noise coming from it, as it slowly and gently rotated in a circle. Like the earth.

Ally gave me a pointed look. Remarkably, she remained calm. The fire hadn't upset her or angered her. Despite her falling over, she did extremely well. Better than I did. Looking back, I think I melted a stain glass window..

Not thinking, I smiled at her. Not a half-hearted smile, not a smirk, but a genuine smile. I hadn't truly smiled like that for years.

She gave me a close lipped smile back, motioning to the fire sphere. I peered at it, cautiously taking a step forward. Doing the same, Ally stretched her fingers forward. Steadily, she slid her two middle fingers into the sphere.

Her whole arm abruptly glowed, only at her veins. She looked like a skeleton, almost. Suddenly, every particle of her veins were highlighted golden.

Eyes widened, she pulled her hand back. The glowing immediately stopped. Looking down at her hand, she rotated it many times; like it was the cause of the glowing. Her eyes flickered up to mine. "See if it works on you." she implied.

I took another step forward, still unsure. "Go ahead." Ally pressed. I glared up at her for rushing me, then placed my hand inside of the sphere.

My body filled with a comfortable warm heat, making me shut my eyes. I hadn't felt that warm for a while..

"Austin," Ally interrupted. My eyelids lifted slowly. "Look down." Pursing my lips, I glanced down at my body. Instead of the veins glowing golden, they were a piercing red.

Ally eagerly reached her hand into the sphere as well, highlighting her veins once again. I felt some hotter heat roll in. Kind of.. burning. It had to of been Ally's..

My gaze switched over to her, and I almost did a double take. One half of her body was highlighted golden yellow, the other half red. Like she had been split in the middle.

Ally was staring at me. I must've looked like her. Half yellow, half red. My eyes flickered to hers, and I did all I could handle not to do another double take. One of her eyes was a luminous yellow, the other eye a blood red.

That meant that I appeared the same. As I put my other hand in, her yellow eye slowly faded darker. Frowning at my face, Ally put her other hand in as well. Every time either of us moved, we both changed.

Both of her eyes were red. Our mouths were slightly agape as we stared in awe, each shocked into silence at our own appearances.

Walking into school the next morning, I didn't know what to expect. Maybe some learning? Oh, no, far from that.

How about burning my ex-girlfriend's hand during math class because she wouldn't shut the fuck up about Dallas? Yes, indeed.

Thankfully, Ally had stopped me from doing anything worse. She even made up the excuse that I had a rare skin condition whereas I actually burnt people. Meaning that if I ever got angry, there was this need for me to inflict that rare skin condition heat on somebody else.

A very random and outrageous theory, but it worked upon the nurse and the principal. I got a detention anyway, and Cassidy was going to be fine. So.. it's a lose-lose situation.

Ally and I were sitting in the office, waiting for the principal and the nurse for an update on Cassidy. Not like I cared, but Ally wanted to see how she was. Common, it was just a hand burn. I've been through worse and still didn't give a damn..

Then again, I could heat up to over 200 degrees and not give a damn.

In the office, Ally and I both sat in the waiting chairs, sitting face to face. Ally had her legs and arms crossed, looking at me. "What?" I questioned, getting tired of the look I was receiving from her.

"You know what," she hissed. "I know what Cassidy has done in the past, and I don't approve of it, but you cannot just resort to violence and burning someone because they said something that you didn't like." I heaved a gruff sigh, trying my best to look anywhere but her face.

"The bitch had it coming," I muttered. "She was sitting right in front of me. She knew that I would hear her say Dallas is better at 'it' than I am." I noted. Ally tensed up once again for my use of wordplay. "It's like she was fuckin' bragging. I may appear to be a tough guy, but I have feelings.." Grumbling the last part, I slouched into the chair, shaking my head.

Ally's face softened. Hearing some shuffling, peering upward, I noticed Ally was sitting down in the chair next to me. She leaned in closer, looking up at me. "Look, I know you're going through a hard time. You need to let out your feelings in a different way other than your embers."

I rolled my eyes. "There's no other way, Ally," I explained. "Other than fighting, nothing works." Ally quirked her eyebrow, then reached into a backpack at her feet. Squinting, I noticed she was pulling out her leather book that I saw on the first day I met her.

"There might be another way, Austin," she told me, a small smile forming on her face. Tilting my head, I took a deep breath. "And what's that?" I asked her, curiosity getting the best of me.

"Music."
