Having really nowhere to go, Courtney joined up with some traveling gypsies. They sensed what she was but didn’t mind as long as she fed elsewhere, they had secrets of their own. It was company to say the least. Except for this one guy who seemed to take a liking to Courtney (we will call him Sebastian). It wouldn’t have been so bad but this guy was not desirable. He was big in the belly and very dirty. His filthy hygiene covered up the smell of his sweet blood, Courtney couldn’t stand being in his presence which was very difficult. Sebastian seemed to find Courtney wherever she was. He even followed her out on occasion when she had to feed, he was fascinated with her.
On one particular evening something strange happened. Courtney was relaxing by the fire in the camp. She was staring into the flames watching them dance, she was mesmerized. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught Sebastian heading in her direction. As he approached, Courtney imagined the flames jumping out of the fire and onto Sebastian. Screams woke Courtney from her trance; she looked up and saw Sebastian in flames. Courtney slowly got up and walked away from the fire, oops!
She packed her things that evening and left the camp.
(Courtney’s power is to be able to manipulate fire.)
