Snippet #2420765

His mind was like a blank piece of paper. No words would come to the surface. She didn't get a single thought from him, not even an emotion. Through his explanation she couldn't tell if he was lying, secretly planning to kill her, or was telling the truth. It unnerved her and Fire kept shifting in her seat, nervous. Fire had heard the rumors about uprisings, but hadn't thought much of it until now. The Captain of the Guard was so desperate that he was asking her for help? Fire caught herself staring at his eyes again. They were so amazing. It reminded her of the Monsters in the Dells. How different and beautiful the monsters were, yet had malicious goals. Maybe this man had a dark secret also?

"human monster"

At those words, Fire snapped to attention, her eyes narrowing in apprehension. Although it was true that she was a monster, she hated the term, and hated when people called her that. "My name is Fire," she blurted out with a twinge of annoyance. She didn't mean disrespect to the man, but despised the word 'monster' As he continued, Fire became increasingly more angry at him. To top it all of, she still couldn't understand his thoughts at all. When he had finished speaking, Fire stood abruptly, so suddenly the the kitten spilled from her lap onto the ground with a meow, her chair toppled over, and the scarf slipped from her hair. Exasperated, she pulled it out and flung it onto her chair.

"You want me to use mound control against people?! Read their thoughts unwillingly? Force actions upon them?" Fire sent him a vicious glare. "I only use my abilities in self defense! I only read thoughts to make sure someone isn't going to kill me. If you think I'm going to do that to people, you must be out of your mind!" Fire said with increasing intensity, her last word a shout.

"I'm sorry, she isn't normally like this..." Simon started. Fire sent him a glare and then exited the room, running to the stables to see her horse.
