BURNing Secret Busted

My songs know what you did in the dark - Fall out boy

I screamed in pain as the silver tape got ripped off from my mouth forcefully and I opened my eyes to face Killer.

"Took you long enough to wake. Guess you didn't need a true love's kiss from my spell," he joked and I snorted. My neck ached and the rope that tied my hands behind the chair I sat on was really tight that I knew my wrist would bruise later. That's if I make it out alive.

"You won't succeed in this I swear. I'll kill you and every other of your friends out there." Isobel yelled and my eyes got to Finneas. I bit my lower lip as I observed the blood that trickled down his temple. He slowly raised his head and his gaze met mine. This made me want to cry out but he shook his head slowly.

"What did you think Bel. I'm not as stupid as you thought. When I heard the old men of the Costra Nostra were dying, I knew right away I had to think faster than those whimps. I sent my men to do their jobs and I found out that these little kids of the motherfucking FBI agents I killed and their little ugly friend were the one doing this shit," he said and I gritted my teeth when he referred to me as ugly. I needed to get them away from here. I needed to save myself for Jack and Leroy.

"We did a good job didn't we?" Finneas asked and Isobel glared at him.

"Finneas stand down," she warned but he ignored her.

"We did a pretty good job by eliminating the so called whimps and we're gonna do the same thing to you." Finneas said. I pleaded with my eyes for him to stop but he looked away and stared right into Killer's eyes. A cowardly move.

"You all need to be applauded for. I mean you managed to kill the legends of the Costra Nostra," he clapped and the men surrounding us with big guns clapped along with him. I could see basically see the steam floating out of Finneas' ears.

"Go to hell!" Finneas spat on him.

"You see son, what you failed to realize is I'm not like them. I'm not part of the Costra Nostra anymore. I'm a free man. Something I fought for," he stopped and crouched down to Finneas' level, "freedom." He whispered and stood up.

He came closer to me and my heart beat increased in panic. He clamped his hand down on my shoulder and I felt hot. Hot from the fact that I couldn't bring out the fire in me, hot from the fact he could kill me at any second and judging from the crazed look he had, he would do it slowly and painfully. That alone made me cry out as his hand tightened around my shoulder.

"I would also commend you Isobel for this kid you have in your circle. She's a fighter. A dumb fighter," he said and I tried to squirm out of his hold. Instead, he punched my jaw and clamped his hand back on my shoulder. I sucked in a breath and risked a peek at Finneas'reaction. He was mad, really mad.

"Back to you Finneas. You said something about doing the things you did to those men to me. In this situation, how will that happen?" He asked and Finneas stared at him in anger, his lips pressed in a thin line.

"I asked you a damn question?" He yelled and pointed a gun to my head. The cold metal made me shiver in fear as tears ran down my face. I could hear the slight cries and whimpers that left my lips in my own ear.

"Let her go." Isobel requested nicely but I just stared ahead. Maybe this was my punishment for killing mom. She was anything but nice to me and I repayed her with death. The stupid fire I create with my head killed mom. I killed her all thanks to this dumb fire. Now that I needed it, it went MIA.

"I asked Finneas a question," he ordered  and turned in the gun.

"Stop okay. Please stop. Kill me instead." Finneas said and my eyes widened.

"Shut up Finneas!" Noah yelled next to him. He stared at me like he expected me to do something. I bowed my head in shame.

"Isobel brought her into this mess anyway. I won't let her die this way. She deserves better," his voice broke as I looked down. I don't deserve better. I deserve to rot in hell for killing mom. I deserve to be burned to death for ever existing in this planet. I deserve to be killed. I shut my eyes and breathed out slowly. The words started to repeat itself in my head. The only word I've been searching for,

BURN.

I felt my eyes turn hot and somehow, the hotness made me calm. Finally. The warmth on my fingers came and I smirked as I faced up. Finneas stared at me with eyes as wide as saucers and I ignored him. Anything to get us out of here. The ropes melted and I released my hands and hit the gun. It fell off and everything around me turned to a slow motion. The yells and the bullets that were fired. I stared directly into Killer's eyes and I whispered.

"Burn," he caught on fire immediately and I flickered my fingers to every other men in the same room. The slow motion stopped and only the pugent smell of flesh burning, the screams of pain, the gnashing of teeth physically loud, and the heavy breathings of Isobel, Noah and Finneas was left.

"What the fuck was that?" Finneas asked and I ignored him and untied them quickly.

"How did you do that? Who the hell are you?" Isobel asked and I sighed.

"I'm Po. I don't know who my real parents were or how I got the power to burn people with my mind and fingers but we need to get the hell out of here." I told her calmly and she stared at me warily and walked away. Noah followed her immediately and I was left to walk with Finneas.

"We need to talk." Finneas muttered and walked away. What was left of me now that they found out my secret.

This was awesome!!
