"It was nothing like a date and if it was, it was for sure the worst. That man gives me a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach and a headache... and makes me feel like I need to nap." Charlotte shook her head as if trying to shake off the bad vibe but she still had a bit of a disgusted look on her face.
She sighed and sat down next to Pierce, holding her head in her hands for a moment before staring into the blue flicker in front of her. She had no clue what to do with it but she had to do something. Leaning over, she lifted the lid of the bell jar and reached out to the flame, to her surprise, it moved into her hand. It traveled up her arm as she stared on in shock, finally coming to rest above her heart but for no more than a moment.
With urgency, the blue flame sunk into her flesh and engulfed her heart. Charlotte nearly fell to the floor, screaming out profanities in between heaving breaths and coughs. She felt as if someone really had set her chest on fire and the more oxygen she took in the more it felt like it was only going to fuel the fire. Her knuckles were white, at any moment her nails seemed as if they'd pierce her palms.
It was over in a matter of minutes but she was still breathing heavy. When she looked up at Pierce, her eyes were an even more intense blue than before and if one looked closely, the flicker of flames could be seen. "Shit... I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy." Char took a deep breath, unfurled her fists and sat up. "Don't ask me now what cause I don't know... All I know is that I have to learn to control this before I can actually help you..." She sighed heavily and leaned back into the couch.
There was silence for a while before she looked over at him and grabbed his left hand. "I'm really sorry if this hurts." Charlotte focused herself on his hand, eyes closed. She could feel the flames traveling through her blood and she did all she could to not flinch. However rather than major heat touching Pierce's skin, it was a minty cool sort of sensation, as if someone with peppermint breathe was blowing away film that left his hand paralyzed.
