"Papa put it down." She begged as tears began to spring forth from her eyes. Daringly she tried to reach out and grab the bottle away from him. However that wasn't what he wanted. With a swift motion his hand slapped her hard across her face sending her spiralling to the ground. She screamed in agony as she threw her hands uselessly up to protect her, "PAPA STOP! PLEASE STOP! I'M SORRY!" With another quick motion his foot kicked her square in her gut causing her to gasp in pain. "How dare you little maggot! How dare you try to stop me from investing in what I enjoy doing! This is unacceptable!" Yet again he brought his wretched foot down upon her gut as she gasped for breath. Then he was upon her. Throwing his empty bottle to the ground he held her down as he unleashed his fists upon her face. Blood splattered from her mouth as his first punch slammed against her cheek. His next punch then landed itself perfectly on her left eye sending half of her world into darkness. "p..p... lease... s..st..op" she whimpered as she began to slip away from consciousness.

The next thing she knows a glass shattering scream is rippling through the room as the door now lies open. "M...ma.. ma." she mutters through her swollen mouth as her one good eye makes contact with her savior. "GET OFF HER!" Her mother screamed as she attempted to push her husband off their daughter. "Screw off you cow!" He bellowed at her and sent an elbow straight into her gut. Her mother reeled back in pain as the elbow made its contact with her. With tears now falling down her cheeks her mother picked up a large shard of glass from the broken bottle. Then with one last screech of battle ran yet again at her devilish husband. This time she drove the large shard into his chest the second he looked up at her. He screamed in pain but before he could retaliate she pulled the shard out and stabbed him once more. This time he fell as his blood washed over both her's and her mother's bodies. Instantly after he fell her mother crumpled to the floor next to her crying heavily. "Sheele.... I'm.... I'm so sorry." She continued to mutter over and over and over again. After what seemed like an eternity of pain and sorrow her mother helped her to her feet and led her to her bed. There she left her until she returned about an hour later covered in mud and soot. Sheele didn't even have to ask where she had been for she already knew. Her mother was burying her Father. Her mother had killed her father over her. His blood was covering both of them. It was then when Sheele finally passed out into the darkness.

When Sheele finally woke up again she was met by a wall of pain caused by her bruised stomach and swollen face. She was also face to face with massive flames that were burning away her house. Instincitvely she looked around for her mother terrified she was trapped inside. However, she quickly noticed her mother sitting silently next to her watching as their home burnt away. She also noticed that both her mother and she were wearing entirely different and clean clothes. Only in that moment did Sheele realize that her mother must have set the house ablaze as a way to conceal the death of her father. Surely enough when the peace keepers finally woke up and arrived at the scene the house was all but ash and my mother proclaimed that my father had been trapped inside. Sure enough they believed her for that but they did ask how the fire started. Shockingly her mother answered that it was Sheele playing with fire from our small fire pit/place after they had fallen asleep that started it. They also asked how father got trapped and she explained that he was drunk and wasn't listening to us. With a nod they turned to Sheele and asked whether that was all true, surprisingly she admitted that it was true. That was the first lie Sheele ever told, and the first "fire" she would experience.

Two years pasted since the incident and nturally Sheele couldn't forget that night, how could she? How could a seven year old girl ever forgot that? Even though her and her mother had moved into another crappy house in the Seam the old one still haunted her. She tried many different tactics but could never find a way to help her stop thinking of it. Her mother being gone working all day like she was the night until she got home didn't help either. No matter what she figured there was no way she could ever levy the pain of that unfortunate event. That was until she met a boy named Zori. Zori became the one who gave her the way to unlocking a gate way to peace of mind.

Zori wasn't the typical district twelve boy who moped along about being hunger and all that stuff. Instead he was the type who enjoyed letting his frustrations out. How so? Fire, that's how. He would sneak out to the meadow or to abandoned houses and simply light them on fire to take out his rage. That was how Sheele first met him in fact. She was walking in the meadow one day when she saw him laughing as his lit a tree on fire. At first she was wary but after talking with him she couldn't help but want to try. So try she did. He taught her how to light fires then off she was lighting trees and buildings on fire with him. Everytime she watched the flames it felt as though her memories were being burnt away by them. She would never have imagined that the thing that hid her mother's crime would be her freedom from pain.

For about a year she went around with Zori during the night to lit things on fire. They had become such a nuisance to the Peace Keepers that they actually posted wanted posters throughout the district for who they called the fire demons. Naturally Zori and Sheele embraced the name and continued lighting fires, more carefully of course though so they wouldn't be caught but they surely wouldn't be scared off. In fact, they embraced their new title so much that they would leave little wooden squares with the name Fire Demons burnt onto them at all their fires. However, this era of excitement and fun would soon come to an abrupt end when Sheele was yet again thrown a new wave of pain.

It all started when during one simple fire of a small run down abandoned shack went wrong. They had successfully started the fire and were about to leave when we saw them. Two peace keepers running towards us with a man pointing our way. "Shit!" I said in shock as I looked around for a way to escape but there just simply weren't any. "When I attack them run." Zori said with his eyes set on the peace keepers. "What no I can't leave you!" I screamed in agony at him but he just started running towards them.
