Fire burned everywhere. The heat coming from my hands scorched my hair. The fire from another blinded me.

"Elenor! We must move farther in, there're going to trap us!" My love shouted over the screams of the creatures closing in on us. I answered him by making the fire from my hand clear a path for us to safety to back away from the ever growing crowd.

No matter how many we kill off, these things keep coming. It's like there're not scared of dying!

A warm, gentle hand threaded itself into mine. "Stephan, we're not gonna make it," I said exhausted, obliterating ones that get to close with my free hand. "Yes we will. Keep running."

We started running faster to the point my legs felt like they were gonna give out at any second. "AH!"

Stephan yelled something obscene and pushed me out of the way. I landed hard. My head was getting foggy and I couldn't lift my torso. When I heard my beloved scream somthing I couldn't understand I managed to roll my body toward his voice and noticed something.

He was bleeding. Alot. There was blood everywhere and it all seemed to come from him. One of the creatures was on top of him seemingly watching him bleed to death. Stephan locked eyes with me yelled again, "DO IT ELENOR, DO IT!"

I knew what he was talking about. Could I bring myself to do it? Could I possibly wait here and watch as he suffers?
My mind was ringing so loud I couldn't get my thoughts together. Why must this happen to me.

I let out a scream, or rather a war cry that would have scared anything living from miles away. I lited my hand and burnt a hole right through the chest of my one and only love.
