The dim glowing of the sphere lit up the pitch black of the room, only enough so that the hand holding it could be seen. The large audience was a collection of quiet oohing and aahing, barely audible whispers could be heard from where the sphere was. It took only a second to recapture the audience’s attention as the sphere started to move around slowly, the glow grew stronger, now barely illuminating a body. The person was controlling the sphere with such ease, as if it was just another extension of their body. The sphere moved so fluidly over their hands and arms, gliding over and in between finger tips before returning to its stationary position.
Everything suddenly stopped, the audience was still and the ball had returned to its dim

A smirk crossed her lips as she knew that the people were quite taken by it.
“My name is Cecilia. As you can see, I am not getting burnt. This is not painful, this is not harmful. That’s why I can do this.” Cecilia spoke for the first time since she had been revealed, twirling the fire around her arms as she did before the lights were cast down. She paused a moment more after rolling the fire between her fingers and over her hands again. Embers from the fires had fallen beneath her feet and immediately snuffed out before anything around her could catch flame.
The audience had become a roar of applause and cheer when she stopped. The show was over and Cecilia turned away from the audience, snuffing out the ball of fire in a clenched fist. Cecilia had left the stage area and headed towards a small house, opening the door she was greeted by many others around her age or older.
“Cilly that was a great performance. The audience loved you!” She said being greeted with a kiss, the girl being much taller than Cecilia and having to bend down to kiss her. Cecilia returned with a smile, sitting down on a couch next to the taller girl.
“Don’t you get tired of me yet, Tora?” Cecilia asked, before taking out a cigarette. She put the vice between her lips before lighting it with a flame she produced with her fingertips, taking a large puff, the smoke shooting out of her nose as opposed to her
ii. Fire – “She was putting in a fire now, and he could no longer see her face.”
Through this first incident, Jeanette’s mother, Rose Mary, encouragingly said, “Good for you. You‘ve got to get right back into the saddle. You can’t live in fear of something as basic as fire” (Walls 9). Soon then, Walls became “fascinated with it” (Walls 9) as she passed her finger through a candle flame, slowing her finger with each pass, watching the way it seemed to cut the flame in half.
The flame had been extinguished, the feel of it snuffed out between his fingers nowhere near comparable to the heat scorching through his veins. His Grace had never been like this, had never scoured every nerve inside his vessel as it grew, it had always been warm, been comforting even in the most desperate of times and yet now. Why? Gabriel let his fingers brush over the heated wax, letting it conform to his fingertips before he pulled them back and watched it quickly dry. Pale nubs sat top his index and middle finger, twisting them slowly back and forth as he studied it before her voice caught him off guard. The wax was easily discarded, pulled off and set back at the base of the candle as he turned, almost uneasy at the fact that he hadn’t realized she woken up sooner.
He turned and glared at her. Fire burned in his eyes. “You will hold your tongue, woman. This disrespect will not be tolerated.” Sana stood her ground. Her face calm and relaxed. Her purple eyes faded into a light pink violet.
Axel’s eyebrows furrowed before he took in the picture she was looking at. A grin tugged at his lips.
Soon we will all be free from the trappings of this world,” she told me, covering my eyes. She stops singing, and I could no longer feel her breath blow across my skin. My body at that point began to burn, and I felt a stinging sensation I have never felt before. The pain was unbearable.
“Isn’t it exciting!” Her eyes sparkled and she couldn’t stand still, which caused some very
I watched as her eyes lit up at my offer, nearly bouncing up and down. She was excited and couldn’t seem to stop smiling at me.
“She learned it from me.” He smiled, procuring a shiny, silver flask. The glare that’s waiting for him when he gets down off the chair was historic, some of her best work, and made him snort a
Then Myra pulled her hand back, and shoved it forward, shooting the fire into the cave, lighting it all up.
“Well then I hope she looks just like you.” He said and wrapped his arms around. Leaning down he kissed Esmeralda soundly, before giving a whoop of joy.
Before either teen could say another word, Theodora drew her hand back, preparing to throw an ever-growing ball of fire that she held in her hand at Vella. Before she could, Shay pulled out his spoon and chucked it at Theodora’s head. The ball of fire vanished and Theodora looked at him for a moment, stunned.
“I’m going to take that as a compliment.” Addison leaned over and pecked Megan on the lips.
Flames roared their defiance to the skies, punching fists of red and orange into the air, snarling defiantly as gentle raindrops sizzled into vapour in the fire’s insatiable maw. Sinuous orange and yellow tongues licked at every opening, leaving charred blackened wood in their wake. Fingers of flame waved manically behind windows until the glass shattered from these demonic ministrations. She stood on the gravel drive with the other two women and William, gazing helplessly at the vicious scene of destruction playing out before them.
The Queen opened a gold cigarette case and lit a long, perfumed cigarette with a silver tip. "Cigarette?"
