The old house had caught fire so quickly the night before and burnt down even faster. It was nothing but ash and smoldering logs now. No one bothered calling the fire department; it was just an abandoned house sitting in the middle of nowhere. It was in a small town located south of the city near the hills. 
 
 A young teen age girl was lying face down on the ground among the rubble motionless. Her bright red hair was knotted and spread around her. As she began to regain consciousness she tried to move. Her muscles hurt like she had been beaten with clubs. Her lungs ached from all the smoke last night. Slowly she propped herself up. She had n't felt this bad since she ran away from the crazy cult group her parents were in. Her light green eyes were watery as she opened them to check for injuries. It was still dark outside. 
 
 She quickly looked herself over and then remembered she wouldn ’ t be burned ever again. With a slight smile and a wince she stood up. Someone might come to check out the remains of the house. None of her artwork survived the fire, unfortunately. The only thing that was safe from a fire is whatever she is touching. Lucky for her she always kept her money tucked away in her shoe. 
 
 She quickly headed for the woods behind the house ’ s remains, trying not to trip or fall as she clumsily worked her way into the grove. After a while she stopped and listened to make sure no one was around, then held up her hand palm up, allowed a little flame to ignite, and was able to find a clearing she could use until the sun came out. 
 
 After building a fire she sat and practiced controlling the flames. Her parents called her Ember because of her red devil hair. She finally liked the name that tormented her throughout her childhood. Ember thought it fit her power nicely, but she would not be evil. She would use it for good, once she could control it. She had made a promise to her little sister. She never breaks a promise.
