Snippet #1656830

Pyro wasn't sure who he was with, but he noticed one of the other boys was bleeding. Well, it looked like that. It would probably be more correct to say he was surrounded by blood, even if Pyro wasn't one hundred percent sure how that was possible. Seeing the boy look over Pyro's shoulder, Pyro looked back and mentally swore. The black creatures were still there, of course, but so was the one he thought he'd burnt down. Damn, these things must be harder then I thought. Or maybe they're just fireproof. Dang, that would suck, Pyro thought. I hope this group can handle themselves... I mean, I'll help them all out, but I'd rather not have to do too much work. And this seems like it's going to be enough work as it is. Pyro found himself reaching for his lighter, and held onto it with his left hand tightly. He bit his lip as he scanned over the creatures again. They were getting closer, damn it.

“I’d run if I was you.” One of them suddenly said, his voice dark. Pyro turned to see it was the boy who was bleeding. Except, he wasn't bleeding. It was more like the blood randomly appeared on him. Strange, Pyro thought. “You can repay me later.” The boy continued, taking a few steps away from the paler boy and turning back to the group. What's he doing? Pyro thought. Oh, wait, he must want to see what we're going to do... Ugh. This is going to suck if we don't work together, Pyro thought.

"Listen, you guys start to run. I'll see if I can set a few of these things on fire and get them off our butts, ok?" Pyro said, stepping towards the creatures. He concentrated and snapped his fingers, and a small ball of flame danced on his fingertips. Yes, this is it, he thought. Not my best work, of course, but enough to get things started. His left hand was still holding onto his lighter as he threw the fireball at the creatures. It didn't directly hit any of them, but it flew right past his black look-alike and landed in the middle of the hall. The creatures started to shout, but they didn't seem to do anything but that, like they were confused as to what to do. Except for his look-alike, which just turned towards him and continued to walk. Ok, now that's weird, Pyro thought.
