The flames licked up Claire's legs, fire shooting out of her pale hands, fire surrounding her before I could get there. Her piercing screams splitting the air in two, and for the longest moment of my life, I couldn't get to her fast enough.I rounded the burning cafeteria tables and reached out to help her, but only finding a pile of ash in the place she last occupied.There was no way she was gone. She just got away, right?An overwhelming feeling of helplessness sat heavy in my chest as I continued to search for her.

“Wait, so, this guy threatened you, chased you, and then went after your younger siblings?” Claire asked me again.“Yeah, that’s what happened.”“Why would he do something like that? What did you do?”“That’s the thing—I don’t know what I did. It’s like he’s got me confused with someone else.”I grabbed a lunch tray from the line and stood in front of the lunch lady for her to plop the slop on my plate and continued down the lunch line.
