                                                                                   Aaron's POV

     There's something different about me. This fire. It feels like instead of it feeding on me, I'm feeding on it. The fire that once was spreading into the second lab is now getting smaller. It's entering me, protecting my direct surroundings while the rest burns, waiting for me to end their torment by absorbing the fire's energy completely. Just moments later the fire was gone.

     The room beyond me and Stryke was charred black, glass from the bottles cover the floor outside of a ringed outline of the floor where me and Stryke were standing. What just happened? Am I..... a super hero.

     "What just happened?" Stryke asked still looking around the room in shock.

"I....I don't know." i couldn't help but reply in a weakened voice.

     But, I was anything other than weak. For once in my life I didn't feel tired. It's like the flame is burning inside me, fueling my body like some sort of train, I felt like I could lift a car if I wanted to, like I could run a mile without even gasping for a breath. I felt invincible.

"Let's go before someone sees us." Stryke said looking out the door to see if anyone was coming. As usual the halls were extremely empty. The slim lockers all closed. The halls completely devoid of all life.

"Ok" I said following behind him like an obedient little puppy dog.

     When we entered the hall there was nobody but, I couldn't help but feel like someone was watching us. I moved towards the side of the hall letting my shoulder gently bang against the lockers. I peeked over my left shoulder as if I were looking at a locker and saw as a figure shrouded in black moved into hiding.

"Who's there." I called out to the stranger. There was no reply.

"I know you're there, I saw you." I called back again hearing nothing.
