Excerpt:
Ren laughed. “What are you doing? Just sit still and focus, why don’t
you?” He urged impatiently.
I pressed my crossed ankles
together and my arms to my sides. “Ok,
ok. I’m ready,” I stammered.
I forced deep measured
breaths until the cold air stilled the nervous bubbles bobbing around my
head. My hands stretched around my knees
and I flexed my fingers imagining the flame leaping from the tips. I turned inward imagining the spark growing
inside of me. My mind’s eye examined the
small dot of electricity and watched it glow in the caverns of my mind.
Run! I commanded.
I followed the little spark
as it hopped from one nerve to the next, racing down the length of my arm and
felt it, hot and anxious to perform.
Then something strong and sure told me the spark was ready. Without a conscious effort, my arm lifted
from my side and my wrist snapped.
My eyes shot open. A small ball of light glowed bright against
the darkness. I glanced up to find Ren’s
giddy grin.
We sat for several moments
in reverent silence before Ren snatched the wriggling little light from my palm
as easily as a frog snatches an insect.
He chuckled and tossed it
above our heads. The small light bounced
in the air like a yo-yo before settling suspended above our heads.
“Wow! How’d you do that?” I exclaimed.
“Clean flames will do just
about anything you want them to,” he said.
“Can I touch it
again?” I asked tentatively.
Ren shrugged. “Sure, it’s your flame,” he said and sank
back against the cluster of pipes, a pleased smile lingering on his lips.
I reached into the air and
plucked the tiny blaze from its perch. I
held the flame in my hand admiring its dance.
“It’s hot,” I said wincing.
Ren inched toward me and
slid his hand beneath mine. His palm was
soft against my knuckles. Then his
fingers closed around my wrist and he pulled my hand toward his lowered face.
My fingertips grazed the scruff of his chin sending a tingle up my arm. Our
eyes met across the glowing expanse of my palm.
“Even the most magical
things can burn,” he said tensely, holding my gaze.
My cheeks flushed hot under
his intense stare.
“Only… if you let them,” I
responded, carefully controlling my breath.
“Easier said than done,” he
said with a sigh.
I
blew softly across my palm. The flame
flickered and disappeared into a wisp of smoke.
