The Forgotten Fire

Summary

My name is Kitara. I'm not a normal person with a normal life and normal issues. One day, I was on my way to my friend Christopher's 16th birthday party. Then I saw something. It wasn't anything crazy like a murder or something. It was a blonde cat, and then it wasn't. It was sprinting across the road, shadow stretching down the yellow lines. And then...it vanished. The shadow, too. I was running quite a bit early and decided to investigate. I pulled over to the side of the road and exited the vehicle. I jogged over to the place I last saw it and found a sprinkle of golden dust on the ground. I placed my hand were the road should have been but... my hand passed through the road and I couldn't get it back! I was sucked into a glittering void. Fire danced over my hands and I flew out of the tunnel. I gazed at the cat in front of me as he morphed into a cat.

Since when is glitter deadly?

"Hey Alexis! I'm on my way to the party but

I'm gonna be early." I began into the phone.

"Christopher is gonna love the gift I got

him!" I continued."Girl, what did you get

him?" Alexis questioned. "Alex, I can't tell

you! I know you can't keep a secret!" I

exclaimed as she turned on my blinker on

top of the dirt road. A yellow cat was

dashing across the dirt. I slammed on the

brakes, causing a unpleasant noise. The cat's

shadow stretched over the rocky turf, and

then it didn't. The cat and the shadow were

suddenly gone. I swung open the door as

Alexis questioned me through the phone on

speaker in my pocket. "Hey what happened

Kitara?" I slammed the door shut and

jogged toward the place I last saw the

blonde cat. When I reached my destination I

noticed some golden glitter suspended

above the the soil. I placed my hand on the

ground as I squated to investigate. I felt a

tugging on my hand and began to resist.

However, the unknown force was much

stronger than I. " Alexis, help!" I shouted.

"Witth what girl, in stuck down in Florida,

like a million miles away from you! Your up

in Alaska, if you didnt forget. How could I

help you?" Of course she had to be logical.

"MY HAND IS BEING EATEN BY GOLDEN

GLITTER!" I screamed at the top of my

lungs. "Girl, what happened?" Alexis asked

me. "I saw this cat vanish and then I went to

investigate and I saw golden glitter and my

hand is being pulled into the road!" By now

I was sunk in to the shoulder like I stuck my

arm in when the road was muddy. "Oh no,

not already." I heard her mutter. "WHATS

GOING ON ALEX!?" I screamed, now

knowing she knew something I didn't.

"Look, just don't panic. I don't have time to

explain but whatever you do don't trust h-"

my head was submerged into the concrete. I

saw a tunnel of swirling colors. Water, fire,

air, and earth colors had separated into

spirals that twisted together on the walls

and slowly rotated around the room.

Directly below me was a gray cliff covered

in spikey rocks. The rest of my body was

slowly following me and I didnt want to

plummet to my death. I tried shoving my

other arm back up but the rest of the dirt

was solid. My other arm was released and I

was hanging by my waist. I searched for a

way to save myself from certain death but I

couldn't find a solution. I was hanging by

my feet when I heard a whimper next to me.

The blue heeler I had gotten for Christopher

had jumped out of my rolled down window

and followed me. He must have gotten

sucked in, too! He was suspended by the

waist. I hugged him to the best of my

abilities but failed. I felt the last of my feet

slipped and silently said my goodbyes.

Goodbye world. Bye Alex and Chris. By

Asher, you cute little cat. I would die by

myself, as would Percy (that's the dog). I

spread open my arms, prepared to accept

my crazy fate, when a sudden pain spread

through my foot. Percy had bit my leg in

attempt to save me. But soon he fell and

removed his teeth and the pain in my foot

increased. I pulled Percy into a hug and

witnessed even more magic. Percy slowly

shifted into a preteen with glittery, silver

hair styled at a crew cut. He gave a small

smile. "Hi...." He- it- I dont know- spoke in a

quiet voice as we fell. "Um...Percy?" I

started. "Um, actually, my name is-" he

began," I DONT CARE WE ARE GONNA DIE!"

I blurted. "Um, actually, only you. I'm a fae.

Your a human." He separated from me but

didn't fall; he floated. But I fell. Then there

was an intense pain in my back that rivaled

that in my foot. The rocks were near when I

sneezed. I heard a strange sound and

instinctively I tensed the muscles in my

shoulder. My plummeting slowed. I started

flailing my arms and I felt whatever was on

my back totaly rip the back of my short

halter top as they began to flutter. I looked

up and saw the end of leathery, black, bat

wings. They were only partially extended

and covered in a layer of blood. I tried to

open them more but failed. Then I sneezed

again. They fully opened and I then had

control over them. I flapped them

repeatedly in hope of somehow flying.

Instead, I only slowed down. The impact still

hurt, just not as much as the first two

incidents. I lifted my head and pointed my

gray eyes at a sight before my eyes. My

vision was slightly blocked by my long, red

hair. I saw the same yellow cat shifting in

front of her. The blonde cat was now a boy

that looked 16 with chocolate eyes and

blonde hair. The fear had blocked out the

pain, but now I felt the blood loss as I felt

safe in the presence of the boy. My vision

faded as the boy-cat-thing rushed toward

me.
