I woke up to the smell of smoke. I wipe my tears away from my face. I had another nightmare of my parents. They had died 3 months ago due to fire magic.

No! I thought not again. But it was too late. The house was on fire.

I jump out of bed and run to Nox’s room.

“Nox! Get up! We have to get out of the house! Its burning!” I shout shaking him.

Once he was up we ran to Evie’s room. But with all the scraming I did she was already up. She looked terrified and she runs to me and held my hand as we ran out of the house.

We were all catching our breath when Nox gaspee and said “The family picture! I fogot it in my room!” And sprinted back into the house.

“No, Nox! Come back!” Evie screamed and tried to follow but i stoped her with my arm.

“Evie, stay here,” I said sturnly, then rushed into the house again.

I heard a scream.

“Halo!”

“Nox?! I’m coming, don’t worry! Just stay where you are!” I yell, running up the stair.

I burst into Nox’s room to find him getting licked by fire. He was unconscious clutching a framed picture in his tiny arms.

I scooped him into my arms and look back out to the hallway. It was entirely blocked my flames.

Then I looked out the window. I saw Evie screming into the fire. But she wasnt very small and I could hear her. So the window was close enough to the ground that I could jump out and hopefully wouldnt die.

I carefully placed Nox on his bed and quickly opening the window.

“Evie! I can’t go back though the door! Its blocked. Do on the count of three, im going to jump iut the wondow with your brother, ok? And I want you to make a light net to catch us! Cna tou do that?”

She didn’t speak but I saw her nod her head.

I ran and grabbed Nox in one arm and used the other one to climb out the window and hold on the the top of it.

“Ok! 1 . . 2 . . 3!” I jumped. All I can see is darkness and the light from behind. Then a new light came from underneath me. Evie’s net.

It carried is sloly and safely to the ground before disappearing.

Evie runs toward us.

“Is he ok? What happened?” She questioned worringly.

I gave her a coforting smile as I set Nox down with his head reating on one of my legs. I use my free arm to calm Evie down how had started crying.

“Everything is ok. Its ok. We’re fine,” I say stroking her hair.

Evie’s fae softens and she curled on the other side of me, reat her own head on my other leg.

Her heart beat slowed down she fall aslee due to lot of magic being used in one time.

I take a deep breath.

My eyes drift back to the house that was well up in flames. Relizing that the house full of memories was burning up, I cried. While i was crying I thoght.

But wait when i ran thiught the fire to save nox it didnt burn. And the fire started right as I was having a nightmare of mom and dad burning in fire.

Did I cause this?
