*Inspired (a tiny bit) by Candygame's The Cradle*
New chapter up every to every other day.
== Prologue ==
She sat near the flames, smiling in envy of all the people who had touched the gorgeous flames. They were engulfed in an orange blur, screaming and howling but somehow it gave her the excitement, like the fire was in her heart itself. She wanted to jump in with them...to join their endless fun with fire. She wanted to dance and sing and skip like she was when she was little. 
She loved the fire and the fire loved her. She generously leaped into the orange, waiting for the love she had craved. The fire danced into her skin and seeped through her bones, yet she was fine. She gave up to the flames, the flames burned her soul, her very spirit of life and replaced it with the burning rage. Yet, she was somehow whole. She was somehow superior. She was somehow, finally loved by the mysterious fire. 
Some would call her mad, a pyromaniac, sadistic and cruel. But my parents called me Grace and I am grace to the world.
