[color=silver]The voice startled Cora so much she nearly fell over with shock. As the illusion disappeared, she stared with shock. Her eyes widened. Crackling and burning filled her ears and fire filled her vision. Flames licked the grass, the trees, and animals who had been too close. Distantly, she heard another voice speaking, this time familiar. She didn’t immediately register it though. Her knees unbuckled and she found herself gripping the grass around her. The forest began to spin around her. Realization was hitting her harder in the face than Linnet’s punches.

It had all been an illusion. From the voice in her head, it sounded like the light-elf-turned-demon from the ball. As she watched the forest burn, she felt frozen. How had this demon known about her past? It had occurred moments after speaking about her family. More importantly, how had he followed them? Who else knew where - the familiar voice from earlier interrupted her reverie. 

[Color=1a7b30]"[i]Cora! You need to snap out of it! Something is playing with your mind, there's nothing there! You need to put your fire out otherwise you're going to burn down the whole forest and alert others to our location![/i]"[/color] 

Cora heard faint footsteps and tensed as a result. Her mind was spinning. The grief, fury and rage she kept pent up over the years had come bubbling out into destruction. She had never felt so much rage in her life. The voice came closer, this time softer and more pleading. [i][color=pink]Cade[/color][/i]. Cora’s eyes widened more. [i][color=pink]Elsea[/color][/i]. She felt a hand on her shoulder and her instinct was to bat it away; but when she looked up, she saw Elsea. [i]Cade[/i]. She set her hand over Elsea’s and then stood up. With tears streaming down her face, she turned and faced the fire. She pulled her hands away and raised them facing towards the fire. Narrowing her eyes in concentration, Cora began extinguishing the flames. Quickly the forest began returning to itself, though with smoke continuing to billow. She stared at the deer she had injured and felt guilt rise. It would be a tough pill to swallow. 

She stared at her friend, then pulled her into a hug. [color=lightcoral]”I’m sorry.. I’m sorry…”[/color] Her voice choked up and she felt herself shaking. Cora let go and looked around for Cade. Her mind porcessed blood on Elsea's face. She gawked at her. What the hell had happened to her? [color=lightcoral]”Are you okay? Where’s Cade - is he okay? We need to go before someone finds us. Do we have everything we need?”[/color] Her words came out calm, yet she felt chaos inside. She took a deep breath and shoved it aside. There was no time for self pity or loathing now; they had a situation they needed to address. Cora rolled her neck, shoulders and cracked her knuckles. Cora then stepped forward and heard a small hiss.

Looking down, she watched as flames emanated from her footsteps. She took another step and glanced forward. The demon had its share of fun, but why? What had happened to the other two during her illusion? This was something she needed to know; they both appeared fine. Judging by Elsea’s voice, her illusion had been over sooner. Cade wasn’t too far now either she noticed, after glancing back at the campsite. Cora turned back and smiled wickedly to herself before becoming neutral. 

[color=pink][i]One day… I’ll have my fun with you too.[/i][/color] Sparks crackled and hissed around her wrists but didn’t land on the ground. [/color]
