Tango's Perspective-

As each day went by, I was disliking the little village more and more.

I found it hard to keep lying about being able to control my power and I felt terrible about making Davien keep that secret.

Each day, Davien would try and help me, but it was no use. I just couldn't handle it.

I was a mess.

A broken, shattered, torn apart mess.

And there was no fixing me.

-

"Tango! Do you mind helping me with something?"

I jumped and turned around to see Gem.

"Oh- er, sure. What is it?"

"I need your help setting up the little food festival that's happening later tonight. I just need you to light some wood on fire so we can cook the food over it. Nothing hard." Gem explained.

I forced myself to smile.

"Ha, uhh...sure?"

"Great! Thank you!"

Gem led me to where the festival was planned to take place. The center of the little village.

"Okay, here are the piles of wood." She gestured to five piles.

I gulped and shakily walked up to one of them.

"Just do your thing!" She smiled and gave me a thumbs up.

I nodded and took a deep breath.

I snapped and nothing happened.

I exhaled and sighed.

"Sorry Gem, seems like I'm no use."

"Oh...can you...try again?" She asked, sounding a bit hopeful.

"Er- okay..."

I turned to another pile of wood.

"Come on, this should be easy! You're a fire hybrid, right?" She asked.

My eye twitched.

Fire hybrid. I don't even know what I am anymore. I'm not human, I'm not complete fire, I'm just a failure. A mistake. That's all I am.

My rage and emotions started to get the better of me and I didn't notice that the pile of wood set on fire.

"Great! Can you do the others?" Gem asked, but I couldn't hear her.

Her voice was drowned out by my thoughts as I started to cry. I kneeled down, not able to control the fiery rage taking over me.

"Tango?" Gem put her hand on my shoulder, and I jumped, fire accidentally shooting out of my hand and hitting her.

Gem gasped and my eyes widened.

"I- I'm so sorry!"

I tried to help her, but Gem backed up, padding the fire to diffuse.

She looked into my eyes and had a look of fear.

I backed up, unaware of how with each step I was taking, a trail of fire formed.

"Y-you can't control yourself, can you?" Gem asked shakily.

I shook my head, turned around and ran.

Third Person-

"Campers in the forest have reported seeing smoke nearby, and firefighters rushed to the sight to see a huge fire burning down the forest. The fire is stronger than anything we've ever seen before, and no one knows what could've caused it. Firefighters are working on diffusing it and seeing if anyone was harmed by the fire."

Skizz's Perspective-

Skizz ran through the forest, seeing someone crouched down in the middle of the burning forest, crying.

The fire had diffused and now smoke was filling the area.

"What are you doing? Are you okay?" Skizz asked, gasping as the guy looked up at him.

He looks just like the guy from the house fire...

Skizz approached him slowly, but the guy backed up.

"G-get away." He said.

"You're that thing from the house fire, aren't you? You have the same fire in your eyes and everything."

The guy sighed and looked down.

"You're causing all of this, right? You're the one who's behind all of this chaos."

"I don't mean to!"

"You don't mean to? Then stop! Simple!"

"Oh wow. Thanks for the advice. I'll make sure that the next time I have any sort of problem, I'll just stop."

"Just..." Skizz took a deep breath, "Are you the problem to all of this?"

"Yes!" The guy shouted, crying as a wall of fire formed between him and Skizz.

Skizz gasped and stumbled back.

"I'm always the problem." The guy sobs and he runs off.

I'd like to mention that my search history now is filled with random questions about firefighters for this story XDDD

ALSO

Did you know that the coat firefighters wear is multiple layers of fireproof jackets that ends up weighing around 20 pounds? Idk I found that cool :)

Uhh- anyway I hope you enjoyed the story so far and this chapter. And merry Christmas to everyone!! Well, depends on when this chapter comes out. Right now it's December 15th and I am sitting on my floor, alone, while listening to Hatsune Miku ://
