Fire Inside- Chapter 2 I woke up screaming. A nightmare. I was being engulfed in flames. What scared me even more was that I was still on fire. On the inside burning out. The man burst into my room just in time to see the flames burst from my palms and catch the bed on fire. The fire was the same blue as my eyes. "Oh my God." He whispered from the doorway. I jumped out of the burning bed and the man ran to the bathroom to get a bucket of water. He returned and poured the water all over the bed. "Sorry 'bout that." Wait, did I just speak? "Don't worry. I know what you are. I think it's time for me to tell you what your lessons are about." I looked up at him. "My name is Gerald. Come with me please." I reluctantly followed him down the hallway into a small office. "Sit there, please." I obeyed. Gerald cleared his throat and began. "I adopt mutants. You have just experienced something neither of us can explain. You are a fire mutant. Your training will be about controlling your inner fire. The other kids here are mutants, like yourself. There is Claire, water mutant, John, plant mutant, and Rocco, earth mutant. Their rooms are in the hallway also, past your room." What just happened? I'm a mutant at some weird mutant house? I CAN SHOOT FIRE FROM MY HANDS? That part was pretty cool. Gerald looked at me expectantly. Oh yeah, I was supposed to reply. "Ummmm... I don't know what to say." I stuttered the words out. "It's okay, no one knows what to say at first. Meet me in the dining hall at five o'clock.
