Thread: The Town

Name Kaige Mayfair Location The Town Tag Rupi, Guards, Arek She couldnt understand why the people were rushing out so. Sure the place was on fire, but it was just.fire. The flames that climbed higher and higher, licking the ceiling were nothing to her. She had seen it a million times coming from her own fingertips. There was no heat. It wouldnt burn her. Had it been possible, she would have burned her own body to nothing years ago ending her suffering at Eternal Peaks, but it wasnt possible. She wondered for a moment what it must feel like to these people. Hot water she could feel. Flames that could reduce a building to rubble, flames that could a person by burning them from the inside out, never gave her an indication of heat whatsoever. Flames, just like the ones that burned Sams lungs to oblivion, could not harm her. It was the words on the phone that made her think about Sam, what she had done to him. At first, the voice on the line did not register with her. Even when she heard the name, it still took a moment before she grasped who she was talking to. Rump.Rupi, she slowly responded. She listened to every word Rupi spoke. Already she knew Candice was dead. The reporter had said so. This somehow confirmed it, making it more real to her. She laughed softly as Rupi finished. This world..doesnt understand me? How many more lives must..I..put at risk? For a doctor, you sure have your facts fucked up Rump Rupi. Im not the one putting anyone at risk. Its you doing it. Its the..intuition..the place you think I should call..home. Truth is..I had a home..once. I had a whole other home..a whole other life..I will never..remember. That place is not home. That place..is hell..and Im not going back, she paused, her eyes traveling up to the ceiling as the flames painted across it now, over her heard. With one breath she added, Alive. The phone went silent, and Kaige let it slip from her fingers to the floor beneath her. The clash of people coming in through the side door drew her attention. Guards. They had found her. There was no time to go to Aliya. There was no time to do anything. This was happening here and now. Kaige resolved herself to die right where she stood, but she would not go alone. They fired upon her, fragments flying up in the air. Her body temperature rose, sending the temperature around her soaring higher. The bullets continued to fly at her, but something changed. They never made it to the ground at her feet. Instead they began to explode the closer they came to her. Kaige began to realize they couldnt touch her. She was far too hot. The air around her was far too hot. A weak smile spread across her face. Her features spoke of elation. She began to move towards two of the guards, seeing their faces as they watched her come closer. Without a word, she lifted her hand into the air and drew back. As she thrust her palm forward, flames engulfed the two with such force they were thrown against the wall, nearly buckling it, before their corpses fell to the floor. Again she smiled. You..shoot..at me, she said, turning her gaze to two more guards. How..dare..you. Her elbows bent, her palms facing upwards, briefly, before her fingers curled into fists. With a loud scream, she threw her head back, sending a section of the roof flying as the flames stretched up to the sky. She was surrounded by air so hot the very air would scorch a persons lungs. Her skin glistened from the sweat that now covered her. You should have let me go. Fireballs erupted from her, crashing into the men, sending them through the wall. She could hear the screams from people outside. Good. Let em scream, she thought as she turned her attention to Arek. Her fingers were clutched so tight her knuckles were white. All I wanted..was to leave. They killed my family..and now..theyve come for me. I wont go back. Not alive.
