I am who i am. I wouldnt change for anyone. Not even my true. My life is worthless. I follow my ancestors for what they were. They could control the elements. Fire, water, earth, and sky. but out of them all fire is rare. And fire is what i possess.

                   Im only 17. A girl with long black hair that flows past my waist, and red eyes to see the beast within me. i am, and will always remain a monster. i am Maria.

                   I live in the woods on the outskirts of of a small village of raining Cloud. My father, who is the last one in my family, lives on the edge of town farthest from the river. my mother died when i was born. i was kinda glad. My father explained that she was a stuck up ***&*. But even hearing him say that, I still hate him.

                  My only friend is Logan. He is the only one i can trust, for he knows my secret, and i know his. Hes just like me. He holds a monster within. He can use water style, which comes in handy if i give way. My fire is still very uncontrolled. If im not careful, i could burn the whole village, or worst, my home. The treehouse i share with nature.

                   Logan is the only person who acctually cares about me. Hes not only my friend. Hes like my brother. He saved my life. when i was 3, I set part of the woodson fire. there was a ring of fire surrounding surrounded me, burning the trees. I was crying. I was scared, holding on to the tree with all my might. Then a wave of water swept across the ground, shaking the tree, and putting out the fire. The impact of the water hitting the tree knocked me down. I fell into the cold water. It was deep and i couldnt swim.

                    I couldnt stay above the water. everytime i gasped for air, water rushed in. i started going under when the water slammed me into a tree, and i fell unconscience. It was night time when i finally woke up to see that i was wrapped in a blanket by an open fire. His arms were around me i felt safe and warm.

                    He took me home that night. I woke in the morning to see him staring at me. I swore to him then i would repay him for saving my life. I've never returned the promise yet, but one day i will. I never back down on my word.
