Kara had attempted several times to hold back the flames. She wanted to release it when one of those men opened the hole at the bottom of her door to put in lunch. The meal would never come when she was awake and flaming. She lay quiet on her metal bed. They’d put herbs in her food to make her sleep. She awoke cramped every time she woke from them. The bed made her angry. She shut her eyes and tried to think of something calming, but when she did she saw her brother letting the King cart her away. A small flame trickled up the side of her foot. They would know she was burning. They would know she was awake. They would smell the smoke through the cracks in the door, and they would come to spray ice and water on her that made her freeze in the dungeon cell. She tried to calm herself by breathing evenly and she heard the key in the lock. They only opened the door to put her back in bed after they had shot that icy water through the cell’s window. This might be her chance. Her first chance at revenge, if she could only hold back the flames a little longer.

The door creaked open to admit a woman with shoulder-length black hair. The woman wore a little to nothing all black leather outfit. Kara knew they had sent a torturer to her room, someone that would make her feel pain until they got whatever they wanted. She would not let them torture her. Kara jumped up to her feet and the woman didn’t move as the flames came to life around her. Kara lashed out, throwing flames off her body. The woman held up a hand and the flames were averted to the ceiling and disappeared into finger sized holes all over it. Kara hadn’t noticed those holes before. She pushed the flames harder. The torrent of white hot flames licked the walls and bed that was hanging from chains out of the wall. The metal turned a yellow glow, but the woman was untouched. Kara didn’t want the wet or the cold so she pushed harder, but the woman stood in the doorway, holding her hand, palm forward, defiantly mocking Kara’s effort. The flames shot through the holes in the ceiling and finally Kara started to panic. Sweat started to form on her forehead as she fought the only way she knew how. She thought no, I know of another way to fight. She stepped forward, swinging her hand at the defiant woman. The defiant woman moved to easily swipe it to the side and her hand landed a slap to the side of Kara’s face. Her head rung as she fell to the stone floor, still warm from the flames. Kara backed into the far corner and scrambled to her feet. The woman still stood in the doorway, hand at her side, standing not smiling or fighting in any way.
