Turning sixteen and harbouring the power to manipulate fire at your own will should be fun for a girl, right?

Lucy had watched as one by one her siblings were locked away in the cellar and slowly transformed into monsters she didn't recognise despite wearing the same faces of ones she used to love. Now it's her turn. She's the last one left, and she must make a choice. She can succumb to the same despondent fate as them - caged away like a wild animal until her mental demons ruin her from the inside, or she can choose to run. But even then, where can she run to? And how far can she run before the darkness catches up to her? No matter how fast of a runner she is... her demons run faster.
