On Fire
#2
Mizu woke up quietly. For once no bad dreams haunted her in her sleep. She smiled and looked around. She cocked her head, J'adore was gone. She was sure he had other duties to do.. He was probably tending to the fire. She remembered the first day they met when she had found him working at the fire. She got up and walked out the door, trying to remember where the fire was. When she caught the scent of it she trotted slowly towards it.

J'adore came into view and she smiled, "Hello lovely." She grinned and walked closer to him. She still was weary of the fire but she held in her fears and went up to him to look at the fire. Most would find the heat and crackles of the fire comforting. Mizu however, felt it disturbing and it scared her. Each time she would look at a fire she got visions of being locked in that shed, the fire burning her. She shut her eyes tight for a moment and opened them back up. She took in a deep breath and pushed away the memory. "How are you on this fine morning." Her words came out a little shaky but she forced them to remain calm.

As she stared at the fire she realized how badly people needed fire to survive. And she wondered if her fear for it was stupid. She often used fire for medical reasons. People needed it to stay warm and to cook food if they wanted too. She couldn't bring herself to not be afraid though. Twice in her life she had been burned badly by a fire. She peered around to view the nasty burn scar on her leg. She looked at J'adore and gave him a small smile. She was sure that he would be able to tell what was making her look all around.
