My Shadow Mate
The fire around his eyes light up and I smile, I like it when it does that, but he doesn’t do it all the time.
“You have fire eyes, Rome.” I squeal excitedly. He smiles softly as he carries me out of the house. He sets me down on the grass and turns towards the house
“Daddy didn’t hurt me, Little River, I hurt him, and I’m going to hurt him some more. No one hurts my mate and lives to tell the tale.” And then with a flick of his hand, he sets the house on fire and it starts to burn. I know Rome has powers and I think it’s cool, but then I remember that mummy and daddy are still inside, and I panic when the fire goes up and touches the ceiling.
