Oh shit...the house is on fire...again... (PG-13)

[Kat-la]

//Rating for Language only....sorry....Elizabeth will be cursing like a salior...like most of my characters will once this switch starts at first. *nods* ALSO! CLOSED!//

It was hot….hotter then her house was ever suppose to be…but of course…this was all a dream…her house hadn’t been this hot in 18 years….ever since she sent her parents house on fire and they had kicked her out to her French magic school until she learned to control her powers. She had never forgiven her parents for that…but the heat wasn’t decreasing…if anything the heat was gaining power and it felt like flames were licking her arms. They did not hurt, simply tickled…but when her covers started leaving her in weird patterns Elizabeth Malfoy opened her eyes as she felt two small arms wrap themselves around her body and pop somewhere. Elizabeth looked around and noticed she was in Lacy’s arms and her bedroom was on fire. She also noticed her nightgown was gone leaving her naked in her house elves arms. Even stranger…Lacy could actually HOLD her…Elizabeth was well over six….she looked down and screamed as Lazy put her on the ground and quickly put out the fifteen foot ring of fire she had created with her outburst.

No longer was Elizabeth the six-foot, blonde, silver-grey eyed, beauty, and fire-elemental of twenty-nine…no….instead she was the younger version of herself. She would guess about eleven and she had no control of her element. That scared the shit out of her as she had killed kids before, her powers having not fallen under her control until she was seventeen. She guessed her age simply because right now her hair was platinum blonde, and around twelve to thirteen it had become more of a dirty blonde…and from her reflection she could see in Lacy’s eyes…her own eyes were more of a silver-blue then the silver-grey of her elder years. She reached a hand back and felt the birthmark on her back, it was hotter then it had been in many a years and that meant…no control. “Bloody fucking hell….what the bloody hell is going on here….shit….my bloody house is on fire…and my clothes are gone…and….oh BLOODY FUCKING HELL!!!” Elizabeth yelled talking to herself and sending another inferno ring out a good 50 feet, which Lacy put out before her entire estate burned down. Quickly Lacy gave Elizabeth another one of her gowns, this one a good two feet longer then it was suppose to be and to plugging a neck-line for an eleven year old with no chest to even think about showing.

“Lacy?” Elizabeth asked looking at herself and the old elf smiled snapping her fingers so the dress became more…eleven ish… “Thank you” Elizabeth said as she glanced around the grounds. She was screwed now…her powers were never stable when she was eleven. She was Fiona without the barrier block and without anyone to help her. Josh was gone; she was NOT going to Colby and Cole…no…the thought made her shudder. “Where are Fiona and Noah? Something must be going on and if this is a prank by them….” Elizabeth said her anger flaring for a second, sending a line of fire towards her shrubs, and setting them on fire. Lacy snapped her fingers and the shrubs went out. “Mistress Elizabeth…please do be careful…while most of the house is fireproof…the lawns are not and I do not want you to be harmed or the gossip of the town as I know you do hate when people poke around.” Lacy said kindly and Elizabeth nodded, acknowledging the old elf was right…she had to figure out what was going on though…she was a danger to herself and mainly others right now.

The air-conditioner cut itself off. "Oh No, sweetheart, can you please turn the AC back on?" Fiona Stone asked, still half-asleep. She pushed her brother, eyes closed. It was early morning and she had spent the night at Elizabeth's with Noah. They had slept in the same bed, but she couldn't feel her brother laying next to her. Her eyes flew open in panic. Noah never left the bed before she did, even to use the bathroom.
"Noah!" she scram, looking around her. Water was laying all over in thick puddles. The walls around her had a new black tinge, as if they had been burned.
"Noah!" She cried even louder, jumping out of bed and throwing open the suitcase that lay beside the vbed. She tried to throw on some clothe, but the pants were far too short. She tried the shirt and found that it, too, was too short. She currently had one some short pajama pants and a too-tight shirt.
"Noah!" She kept screaming, running through the long hallway. She turned to the left and saw flames licking the walls. Fiona backed away in fear and turned around, bumping into a tall, older man.
"Move!" He ordered, shooting water from his hands onto the fire. He grabbed her. "I don't know who you are," the man said. "But you've gotta get out of here." There were more flames, but the man kept shooting them out with water. Some would relight themselves from just a spark and he would have to re-kill them.
She ran with him until she tripped and, instead of falling onto her own ass, she fell on a cushion of vines. She quickly recovered and jumped up, thanking the vines even as they withered and died from the heat. She noticed the man staring at her.
"I'm an Earth elemental," Fiona said, now noticing that her voice sounded different.
The man rubbed his eyes for a moment and looked directly at her. "Fiona?" he asked.
"Damn right I'm Fiona! Now who the Hell are you, and why do you look like Arkarian!" She asked, now pulling him along. She had to find Elizabeth. She would make everything all right.
"I'm your brother, dipshit!" He said in reply. "Now," He grabbed her and began leading again. She did not like the change in power, but accepted it. "Let's get the Hell out of here."
Fiona stopped. "No, I'm finding Elizabeth. She may be able to help."
"Bull! She's a fire elemental, I'm sure she'll be fine!" Noah replied, stopping with her.
She gritted her teeth and turned down another Hall. Noah followed, pullng out the wand Arkarian had gotten him without even showing him how to use it (a stupid decision, actually). "Pertrificus Totalas!" He said, pointing it at Fi. She stopped, solid like a stone, and he carried her out to the front and finally out the front door.
He looked at her and wondered if he could magicher up some clothes. He did not try, even though he was fully dressed.

“See Mistress Elizabeth, Mr. Noah and Miss Fiona are fine.” Lacy said easily recognizing the two. Elizabeth looked at Lacy as if she was nuts…but then realized she was now eleven…it should surprise her that much that Fiona and Noah were older….though it pissed her off…they would be able to control their powers…and Elizabeth would not…she knew how…, they did not…, and yet they would have the control. That simple fact made her blood boil a bit and because of that, another shrub burned to ashes in a matter of seconds and Lacy again had to stop the inferno. “BLOODY HELL!!!!” Elizabeth screamed to the heavens frustrated with herself and her bloody emotion controlled powers.

“Mistress Elizabeth….meditation might help…” Lacy suggested and Elizabeth shook her head. “The meditation I was taught was for someone who was nineteen…not eleven…my body and my mind would explode.” Elizabeth explained and Lacy looked lost. She had lost Elizabeth when she was eleven to that French school and had not been allowed to follow her Mistress. Now she had the opportunity to protect her Mistress and she couldn’t…Lacy also knew that working out would probably burn every house within a 10 mile radius to the ground as her power surged when she got worked up like that. This was not good, not good at all. Fiona was in the most trouble…but with Noah there to hose off her Mistress if things got to bad it could work. Elizabeth gave a small sniffle, her eleven-year-old female emotions of frustration turning into burning tears that feel from her face and left little bursts of fire on the grass or her feet…on her feet though it did not hurt. “I’ll go inform Mr. Noah and Miss Fiona of the situation…they must be a little confused also.” Lacy said and Elizabeth nodding sitting down…creating a circle of singed grass around her…but not starting another fire.

Lacy snapped her fingers and appeared in front of Noah and Fiona, quickly noticing Fiona was frozen. “I do wish that the two of you are not involved in this…My mistress is very upset, but by your expressions I do asses that you two are just as confuse. Please follow me…the house will extinguish itself in a few minutes.” Lacy explained calmly. As you could tell, Elizabeth raised her different then most house elves.

Noah looked at the house elf, then back at his frozen sister. He picked her up, hawling her over his shoulders.
"Well, let's go then. Any chance you could find her some clothes? I was somehow able to magic up some. But I have no idea how," he admitted, following the house elf.
"She was severly worried, you know. Porbably still is. She tried to run off to Elizabeth's room to make sure she was OK. Or was it to cuss her out for causing this? I honestly have no idea. Where is Madame' Malfoy anyways?" He asked, looking to his shoulder to see his sister's face. It looked so different yet so familiar, with that look of complete rage and confusion. Just like Fiona. Apparently, new, older Fiona was fond of hair coloring, because her normally straight blond hair was now slightly curly and a deep brown. He liked it that way, set off her brown eyes.
Noah turned back to the house and felt a supreme need to go back in and be Mr. Firefighter again. But knew that it would be worthless if the house elf was not lying.

“Mistress Malfoy is over there….trying not to set the surrounding ten miles on fire with her emotional outbursts…” Lacy said as she looked over and saw Elizabeth sitting in the ground and looking at it, fire tears leaking from her eyes. “But my Mistress did not cause this…change. She is just as frustrated as you are, but she did cause the fire simply because her young body does not have control over her element.” Lacy explained, “Now…I have to go put out the small fire she is starting.” Lacy said snapping her fingers and popping over to the middle of the grounds, but still in sight of the front door and quickly drenched the small fire that had started in the sand and had turned the sand to a dark glass.

“I can’t stop crying…I want to…but this is how this bloody fucking eleven-year-old body is handling the situation! Instead of letting off steam easily by fighting targets it cries instead. I don’t bloody WANT to…though.” Elizabeth said tears of flames still falling but now only making the patch of dark glass clearer and thicker.

"Charlie?" Noah asked, keeping a good five feets distance from Elizabeth. "McGee? It's okay. Umm, I'm sure we can get someone to fix this." He felt that he needed to pat her shoulder, but was cautious. He set Fiona up so that she was standing and poked her with his wand. Nothing happened.
"Charl, honey, can you tell me the spell for undoing a petrificus totalus? I have no idea how and you are the only one here who can help. Please, Charls?" He still wanted to hug her.
Meanwhile, Fiona was frozen and repeating the thought 'I will hurt you' over and over in her mind until she was sure she would go insane. Normally, around now, she would've wrapped a vine around Noah's neck and began to strangle him.
Nothing happened. No vines came up without her directly willing them. Well, this was new.

“Evenerate.” Elizabeth said as she sniffled and wiped her tears away…and then stopping as she was flinging the little tears of fire onto un-burned grass. Elizabeth sighed and tried to calm down again, finally coming to a soft sniffle, while the tears had stopped…though she did sit on a plate of glass that was still hot to the touch. “We better….do you realize how dangerous I was when I was eleven? I was Fiona without the mind block and the power of fire instead of plants…I killed kids without trying simply because I was upset to be going to a different school then my brother. I set five of the houses next to us up in an inferno…no one survived….it’s not only that I’m scared…I’m a danger to everyone around me…it took me YEARS to get my powers under control…and a lot of training…years upon years of self training…” Elizabeth said, seriously scared….the emotions of her eleven-year-old memories were surfacing…but she couldn’t do that…she’d kill Noah and Fiona.

He looked back and forth at his wand and Fiona before poking her with his wand, repeating the spell.
Fiona crumpled to the grass. "You tinheaded nimwit! How dare you! How dare you use your wizard magic on me! Of all people! I swear to the Gods I will. . ." She stopped an army of vines had come out of the ground and came from behind her like a pack of dogs, threatening. She looked at each of the vines from over her shoulder. She blinked, not knowing what to do.
"No, you won't Fi. You cared so much about Charlene McGee and by God if we won't help her. I suggest you call off your little pets before they burn. That's not a warning, that's fact." Noah glared at his sister.
"What do you suggest we do, Arkarian?" she asked, taunting him. "Do you suggest we use our amazing newly found powers to bind her?" she could always seem to tell what he was thinking. "Ha, funny, but don't you need to have a wizard with control? And, last time I checked, I wasn't a witch and you sure as Hell don't know how to wave that little wand around." Fiona closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down. Yelling at her brother wouldn't fix this and neither would taunting him. She had an eleven year old, extremely dangerous, elemental who needed someone who could help, not yell.
"We need to find someone that can help us, Fiona. Not just make fun of me just because you don't have any other magics."
"What can we do, Noah. What?" Fiona asked, finally turning to Elizabeth. "Malfoy. Please. If there's anything we can do right now, tell me. Tell us. Noah, keep a watch on any possible flame-ups and water them down before they start anything. And, by the way, I may not have more magics. But I have more power. You've been jealous of me since Mother bound me. So I'd suggest you shut up and use your puddle magic." Noah attempted to retort, but Fiona glared at him and he stepped back.

“I don’t know….how do you explain adults turning into children and children into adults. And we aren’t the only ones…Since I live in an all magical community anyways and you can hear the screams from other houses, and they aren’t because of the fire, it is obvious this has happened to everyone. I don’t know how to fix it and it’s to late to block someone’s elemental power…that has to be done within the first 3 years of an elemental’s life…So what do we do? I don’t know…last time that bloody school locked me up in a stone room by myself where my teachers appeared on a screen and I had to teach myself how to control my powers.” Elizabeth spat at the memories. Clothes were magiced so they didn’t burn…but only a few sets at a time could be like that…so there were times where….she shuddered at the thought of doing that again. She also had already been a teenager and was not planning on redoing those years. She’d worked to damn hard to just do them over. “As for your powers…it is easier to show you over the years…and right now I can’t show you anything….my body is to underdeveloped.” Elizabeth said frustrated again and so flames spurted up in random places.
