Dark Sage Manor
Chapter 1: "Mommy!?" A young girl called out, as she looked around wildy. "Mommy, where are you?" She waited to hear her mother's voice, which she feared, she would never hear again. "I'm scared...Mommy!!!" She yelled as tears began to fall from her large golden eyes. She sat down on the hot floor and hugged a small rugged teddy bear tightly to her chest. As she sat there, thick black smoke began to filter into the room and she started to choke as she cried. A few of her tight raven curls clung to her back as the temperature steadily rose. Slowly, she stood and made her way to the door. Now, she could hear sirens and shouts from the outside of the house. When her hand touched the doorknob she pulled it back and screamed. She sat back on the floor rocking herself back and forth, cradling her hand next to her teddy bear. The sound of sirens seemed to blare in the front of the house, and she made her way to the window. About halfway there, she fell to the ground coughing and crying. A loud crash sounded from downstairs and she could hear loud yet muffled yells. "Is anyone in here!?" A man's voiec yelled out. She wanted to at least make some kind of sound. Her mother had always taught her to accept help when it was offered and especially when it was needed, and that's exactly what she was going to do, if only she could breathe. She turned her head toward the door to the room, as she heard footsteps pounding up the staircase down the hall. As she watched the fdoor, orange and gold streamers began to crawl under the door and her eyes widened in fear. They seemed to be teasing her, but she seemed to be mesmerized by them. Within seconds, the door burst into flame and girl started cyring again. "Mommy...mommy...help me...please..."She said in a tiny hoarse voice. She pushed herself up, only to fall back down, making a thud. Footsteps approached the door and stopped just outside. "Hey, I think there's someone in this room." Another man's voice called from the other side of the door. "Help me break it down, hurry!" The footsteps seemed to walk away, and suddenly, the footsteps quickened, and the door broke inwards. Splinters of flaming wood scattered throughout the room. The girl blinked innocently as she stared at the two men in bright yellowish-green suits. One of them approached her, but her eyes wandered to the ceiling above the other man. It seemed that there was a place above him, where the ceiling would eventually collapse. "Oh my god, it's a kid. We need to get her out of here." Just as the first man picked her up, the wood of the room gave a groan, and parts of the ceiling began to collapse. Just as the girl predicted, a part of the ceiling was to collapse on top of the other man. The second man looked up in terror at the flaming chunks of wood coming toward him. The child's golden eyes widened and the faint outline of a flame appeared in her eyes. The rom brightened suddenly, and when it dimmed, the flames were a deep blue. The man in the doorway shook nervously as he gawked at the deep blue flames throughout the room.
