I expected to find Uncle asleep, but when I ran in he was standing there talking to Dargon and one of his men. Beside them was a chest of mine from the barn. It’s what I kept my belongings in.“Why aren’t you out in the barn?” my Uncle growled. “Why’s my chest in here?” I asked, ignoring his question of me…and even forgetting what I came in to tell him. Before he could answer me, I realized he was giving me to the thieves. I began to get very upset. A warm breeze entered through the open door. At first I thought that it was just the warmth coming off of the burning cottage on our neighbor’s land, but it kept getting hotter and hotter. I was feeling calmer and more in control. “She’s a sorcerer!” the thief with Dargon yelled as he ran from the house.Dargon reached for his sword, but I raised my hand to protect myself and he was suddenly ignited on fire. As he writhed and screamed in paid, I silently watched him burn. He would never again hurt anyone like he hurt Momma and Poppa and so many countless others.
