Fire and the dust

********** The daughter ***********

-Sister? - I have been standing there completely frozen. What kind of game is it?

- Yes - the voice of Inua was irritated - The proof that our father is disgusting r****t.

He saw my mother when she was selling fruits on the street and asked her to be his mistress. She disagreed so this monster r***d her and left on the street like trash. This is your great father and you are just like him.

- I do not believe you! - I shouted. For some reason, those people are trying to ruin my world. I must confess they are good at it.

- Sure. If you do not believe me then burn me - Inua replied with confidence.

- You know I cannot burn you because of this thing on my neck.

-Then I will do it - she replied and closed her eyes. In one moment, the fire was dancing only on the Inua's clothes. She was standing proudly looking directly to my eyes. She was the daughter of my father. No doubts.

The flames did not do any harm to her skin. Blake needed to make few steps aside to do not be burned.

I was shocked. All of the things I knew seemed to be false or not fully true.

If she was right and it was not any magical trick, that could be the evidence that her story is true.

Inua opened her fist and I saw a small salamander blinking at me. Just like every time when I set up the fire.

- You must be shocked, so let me tell you more about OUR father. It was 23 years ago. My mother was a tailor. She tried to survive on the streets of Rakartoria full of crap, but you have never seen those parts of the city, don't you? Only luxurious clubs and fancy restaurants. Well, the world of my mother was a way different. She was struggling the feed her and the whole family. And then this monster came demanded to possess her. She declined so he r***d her brutally, and everybody saw that but none helped - Inua's eyes were full of teardrops - She did not want to give birth. She said that the child of the monster will be the monster too, but she was a good woman, maybe even too good and decided to do everything to make something good out of me.

Inua's voice turned to whisper.

 - Everything that happened was just too much for her. Especially when a few years ago our father decided to find me, feeling like I would be the one who could defeat him as I also have the power of fire.

- What happened then? - I asked feeling cold inside.

My sister looked directly into my eyes. That was pure rage.

- She committed suicide. I always felt like it was my fault, but then I met Blake.

Inua turned towards him with a smile. I felt like someone was holding my heart in a freezer.

- He explained to me that we are not responsible for somebody's decisions or actions, because We build up our future and the portrait of who we are. And this is the only reason Levana Marilla why I will not kill you...

But believe me I wish to do so.

- I do not need your mercy - I replied and ran into the bedroom. once the doors have been closed I started to cry feeling like I lost everything I had. I did not know what to do and what to think. I needed time to understand it.

Before I heard the story of Inua I wanted to burn them all, but after that, I stopped to feel anything. 

"I need to confront my father with their story. I need to make sure that they are true." - That was the only thought that made sense to me.

The doors opened and Blake came in, handsome as always.

- I am sorry that you find out that way. However, you tried to kill me last night so I think it is a draw.

I looked at him furiously.

- Get out of this room and from my life! - I shouted
