Tristan- Fire
I stared at the ceiling, laying flat on my back. I was making butterflies out of purple fire and letting them flutter around the room. I smiled. I remembered my older sister's words. Fire isn't destruction. It's beauty and life, Tris. Remember that, please, when you go.
One butterfly landed on my nose, its luminescent wings beating steadily. I blew on it, and it fluttered off again. School didn't start for almost half an hour, and I wanted to work on the outlines of my creatures. When I had first started making them, I could only have them lay in my hand, in one pattern. Now they could move around as they wished and each looked different from the next.
I wondered how anyone else would react to seeing a girl shape a butterfly out of flames with her hands and send it flying around her room.
