Shira released Ashes, and swept her hand across the inferno. "Our home. Our families. By earth. As the rage within me, I as a fire element, and a daughter to warriors. Will revenge their deaths. I- " She broke off, seeing something move. Looking closer, she recognized her as a girl from the town. She rushed to her. Easing her up. "Jade?"

Shira released Ashes, and swept her hand across the inferno. "Our home. Our families. By earth. As the rage within me, I as a fire element, and a daughter to warriors. Will revenge their deaths. I- " She broke off, seeing something move. Looking closer, she realized it was a girl. She was burnt. Shira didn't recognize her, but she ran to her anways. Falling to her knees. "Are you okay?" She asked, and gently picked the girl up, younger than she herself was.

Jade started to cry pitifully. She opened her eyes and looked deep into Shira's. The tears made semi-clean rivulets through the painful burns on her face. "My mama's dead... my papa... my sister...." She started to cry harder. "Go ahead... just kill me..." She started shaking. Jade sobbed, trembling. "I'm the enemy..."

Shira's deep red eyes searched the girl's. She was small, and young. She didn't believe that one so young could reap the destruction that had ruined her life, nor would she take the young girl's life. For she too, had lost her family. "What is your name?" She asked, softly, as she carrried her to where her sword lay. Resheathing it, she decided to tend the girl's burns.

"J-" Jade started to say, but she screamed in pain as Shira touched the burn on her arm tenderly. She trembled in fear. "It's Jade.... All my life.. I've lived in fear... of your people... I've been hidden... for so long.... my Papa was killed... a long time ago... by your people..."she closed her eyes. Her tangled red hair stuck to her burns, furthermore revealing wounds. Jade opened her eyes slowly again, and saw Shira's questioning eyes. Jade mumbled "I got those.. when.. when I went... to give water.. to my brother in battle..." she stuttered. She shuddered and lay still.

Shira swallowed a lump that had formed in her throat, and picked Jade up. Quickly, I carried her down to the nearby stream, and laid her in it. Hoping to cool her off. "Ashes, I don't...I don't know how to help her. I've never had to treat burns. We don't get them. " Shira looked at Ashes helplessly, than back at Jade. Her eyes full of worry.

Jade sighed softly as the soothing water ran over her burns and wounds. She babbled nonsense quietly. Her dress hung off of her frail body in rags. Her tangled red hair matted against her head and her eyes remained closed. Her fingers curled slightly, the muscles twitching. Shira's voice sounded far-away. Jade started to cough, and she felt reassuring hands lift her up from the stream...

"I'm not sure how to treat burns either..." Ashes turned away, "I feel like such a failure..." her voice shuddered, meaning that tears were pounding at the back of her eyes. Shira and Ashes picked poor Jade up. "Jade? Hun?..." Ashes started, as she looked down on the poor girl, "Tell us, what happened when you went to give water to your brother in battle? That is how you got your burns... Right?" Ashes leant closer to her, "Jade? Are you alright? Jade?!" Ashes looked back upto Shira, tears threatening to fall down her face.

Jade opened her eyes and looked at Ashes, as if searching for something in her eyes. Finally she whispered "You burn me." She looked so small, so innocent. "You make me fire."
Jade felt herself drop from Shira and Ashes' grip. She hit the ground with a thud, and got up quickly, tumbling down the hill, towards the burning city. She caught her balance and stood, then ran with all her might towards the city. She heard the screams behind her, telling her to get back, but she did not listen.
Jade fell to her knees in front of the city gates. She let out a heart breaking wail, as she mourned for her family and friends... lost in the raging fires.

Shira let the cries die in her throat. Blinking back tears, then composed herself. She was the oldest, and the responsible for the survivors, and now they had to leave. She'd drag Jade if she must, but she had no idea who else was alive. For three young girls had lived, who else? Resting her hand on her sword, she rushed after Jade, and ignoring her protests, threw the girl over her shoulder, and called over to Ashes. "We have to get out of the open, head toward the trees." Then without saying another word, bounded to the treeline for cover, a struggling 12 yr old drapped over her shoulder. Fortunatly the elmental was weak, or Shira was sure she'd have put up more of a fight.

Jade pounded weakly on Shira's back as she was slung over her shoulder, protesting in some ancient tongue. She alternated between the other language and English. Finally, she quit protesting and just lay limp over Shira's shoulder. Her arms hung lazily, and you could almost hear her bones cracking with every step that Shira took. Jade's burns seemed to glow. She let out a low moan.

"The poor thing." Ashes wisphered to Shira. Ashes listened to Jade moan. "It doesn't seem like she knows alot of english either." Ashes walked next to Shira, completely consumed by the facinating twelve year old, although she felt much pity for her, she wanted to find out more about the poor girl's past.

"EEEEEEEEEEEYAHHHHHHH!" Jade suddenly let out an ear splitting scream. They had arrived at the makeshift campsite, and a fire was already up and going. Once she saw the flickering flames, she reeled backwards in horror. Too many memories were stored up in fire. Too many bad memories.
She grabbed Ashes and Shira, crying pitifully, and pointed at the fire. She was in huge pain, but her fear overcame it. Once again she alternated between languages, motioning to the fire frantically. "It burn me! it make me fire!" she cried.
