"S-Sarah...." I gasp. My daughter's bright blue eyes stare through mine, noticing the pain burried deep within them.
"You have let us down, Daniel!" Fiona snarls. I get to my feet, feeling fire coarsing through my veins, "LEAVE. US. NOW." She shouts. Memories flow through my mind back to that night where I lost my brother, Ralph, permenantly, and Sarah temperarily as I gained this curse.
"I HAVE LET YOU DOWN?!" I spat, fire arising from my hands, "NO, FIONA! YOU KILLED MY BROTHER, BURNED DOWN MY HOUSE, AND TOOK MY DAUGHTER AWAY FROM ME! AND TO THROW ON TOP OF ALL THAT, YOU TOOK AWAY OUR PEACEFUL LIFE AND GAVE ME THESE POWERS! YOU THREW ME A ONE WAY TICKET TO HELL!" I shout at her, now inches away from her face.
"What...?" Sarah's voice breaks as she gets between us. I take a few steps back, calming down as I notice how much she looks like me, and how much she has grown, "Y-You lied to me, mother!" Sarah whisper yells as she pushes Fiona back.
"Mother?" I stiffle a laugh, "Sarah, honey, that is not your mother! Your mother is dead!" Sarah whips her head around looking at me, then back at Fiona.
"I thought you said my father was dead?! I thought I trusted you?!" Sarah's hand meets Fiona's face creating a loud slap. I can tell Fiona is stunned, but I know that she had to see this coming. I know that she knew I would see her again. Sarah looks back at me, tears in her eyes. She runs towards me and into my arms, burrying her face in my neck, "Dad..." She whispers.
I honestly thought that I would never get to see my baby again. Suddenly I snap back into reality as I hear Fiona scream at the top of her lungs, "RUN!" I yell at Sarah. She hesitates for a moment before running back towards the parking lot. Fiona tries to run after her, tears running down her face. She runs full speed (which is faster than the average human) towards me. I can't let her take my daughter away from me again. In a blink of an eye she runs into me, causing us to fly back, and a fire to grow so big, the whole forest starts to light on fire.
My vision fades in and out until everything turns black.

Kyle's *POV*
As I walk out of the apartment complex I am knocked to the ground. I look up to see a girl with jet black hair and bright blue eyes. Her skin is a bit on the pale side of things. We stare at each other for a minute, our breaths heavy, but then are distracted as a huge flame burst in the center of the forest, having everything sent the ash.
"Dan..." I say silently.
"DAD!" The girl standing above me shouts hysterically, a tear strolling down her cheek. Wait. I sit up, studying the girl's facial features. Oh my...it's Sarah! I get to my feet and start running towards the burning forest, Sarah trailing behind.
"DAN!" I yell at the edge, not wanting to get burned alive. Suddenly, a charred hand grips my ankle causing me to scream out of surprise and out of the burning sensation from their hand. Dan suddenly pulls himself out, beat, and weak. His breathing is hoarse as he takes Sarah and I into his arms.
