Rae's face scrunched up slightly as she thoughts 'we're the freaks? take a look in the mirror' she took a deep breath and put her hands out in front of her as she, for the moment, had a clear line of fire between her and the ratbug. she tried forcing all the fire out through her hands and 2 (comparatively) impressive strings of fire went from her to the beast. she started to slump immediately but forced her back to stiffen and, as the fire petered out, she dropped her hands and took several deep breaths to attempt to build up the fire again.
