Chapter#27:My most significant loss

I woke up, but something felt wrong. I moved into the main room. I saw Peter standing there.
"You didn't listen to me," Peter said.
"Why are you here? Where's Ezra?" I demanded.
I felt flames coming from my hands.
"You didn't listen to me, and now I'm protecting your 'friends' from you." he continued. "Oh, you mean this guy?"
Ezra's body lifted from the ground.
"Please don't hurt him," I screamed.
"He's family; I won't torture him too much."
"Fuck you! Leave us alone."
"Your wish is my command."
He left, and I was utterly alone. I had no time to cry. I collected the paper from the table and headed into my room. When I saw my bag that I thought I lost at the hotel. I changed my clothes into Ezra's clothing. He left some in the bag. I ran into Nathan and Sarah's room and began to look for something to cut my hair. I found a razor and took it to my hair.
This made me look like a guy. I took a deep breath and headed out of the little beach house. I ran into the forest, and the house got further and further away. I kept walking until it became dusk. I made camp and began to play with my ring.
"I will find you soon, Babe," I said to myself.
I took a deep breath and shot a burst of power around me. This managed to create a barrier around me. I clenched my hand to keep the border intact. I, using my other hand, grabbed the first aid kit and tapped my hand shut. I finally was able to sleep. I used my bag as a pillow. I woke up hoping someone from Ezra's group found me. I was still alone.
I grabbed my stuff and began walking again.  A deer suddenly passed me. My abdomen went numb. I looked down to see an arrow through my stomach. I fell against a nearby tree. Blood soon seeped through my shirt.
"Shit!" I heard someone scream.
I then lost consciousness. I woke up once again tied to a chair. The room I was in was dark grey. A figure walked in. They put my glasses on my face. I saw a lady who looked extremely familiar.
"Hi." She said.
"Sup!" I responded.
"You don't remember me do you?"
"No, sorry!"
"Lily, Emily's mom."
"Oh!"
"Yeah, dork."
"Where are we?"
"A type of refuge camp."
"Cool, Cool. How did you know it was me?"
"Ember, Jerrica, whoever you are. Your red hair is kinda unforgettable."
"Oh, true. Who else knows?"
"No one. It's going to stay that way."
"Agreed. Can you untie me?"
"Ya, sorry, I wanted to make sure Peter didn't get to you."
"Who's here?"
"What do you mean?"
"Anyone I would know?"
"I'm sorry, but no."
She dug into her pocket and brought out the key. She quickly unlocked my restraints.
"What happened to the arrow?" I asked her.
"We took it out and patched you up." She explained.
"Why didn't you say that?"
I lifted my shirt and opened the bandage.
"What the hell are you doing?" She questioned.
I had flame come from my hand and placed it on the wound. I screamed once again.
"What the fuck did you just do?" She demanded.
I lifted my hand to reveal the wound was healed.
"Wow!" She said with wonder.
"Can I go back to bed?" I asked, disoriented.
"Sure!"
I got up and immediately fell. Lily helped me back up.
