The Elements of Hell.

Chapter one: BECOMING THE ELEMENTS OF HELL

NIMIRA

“You’ve gone mad!” Cried Clara. The look of horror on her face was purely entertaining. I let out a harsh, twisted laugh. I laughed long and hard until tears dripped from my green eyes.

“You think I’m just now becoming this way? Oh, that is funny.” I let out another twisted and delightfully evil laugh. “Oh, that is hilarious but, no, no, no, no, no.” I said in a slightly psychotic manner. My voice became harsh and sharp, like the blade on a knife. “I’ve always been a little strange. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I’m insane, though. No, not like the others say. I can hear them, in my head. They tell me who I can trust, but they also tell me who to kill. And I finally listened to them, didn’t I?” I giggled. “Oh yes, I finally listened.” I said in a sing song voice. I grabbed the knife off of the shelf and cut a permanent smile into my face. “After all, no one needs to be serious at all, do they?” I was laughing hysterically now. “No more need for plastic smiles or all day frowns!” As I bleed, the edges of my vision became fuzzy. “Oh my god! Nimira, What did you do!?” Cried Rina, her voice full of fear and worry. Something in her voice made me angry. She touched my shoulder and I lost it completely. I whirled around, knife in hand, and stabbed Rina in her left eye, pulling out her eye along with the knife. “Nimira…” She said, passing out almost immediately after speaking. Seeing what I had done to my once beautiful twin and to my now screaming younger sister, I felt something break inside me. Even with the adrenaline fading, I still felt fine. Not dizzy from blood loss, not in pain, just very very afraid. I screamed, and as I did so, I was surrounded by a green light. My face stopped bleeding, but the cuts didn’t close. I felt blissfully happy with what I had become. My back… There was something new on my back. New muscles. I looked back and saw a pair of green and black bat wings. Then my eyesight sharpened to become more than perfect… I could see a full spectrum and beside that, I saw colors that I never knew existed. My teeth sharpened to a point. Each and every one of them. And the pain. The pain was excruciating. And I liked it. I loved every single moment of it. In that moment, I became the Element of Insanity, and I’d never been happier.

RINA

*Come, Rina. We need to talk with you* I walked towards the voices of my parents. They were dead. They were dead because of Nimira. I walked farther into the darkness.

“Mom? Dad? Are you okay?” I called into the darkness. The darkness was all I could see. All I could feel. And it felt beautiful. Peaceful, even.

*No, Rina. We’re dead. We’re not okay. But we want you to live. You have to live to save your sisters from themselves. They need you. Especially Nimira. She needs you to balance her out.*

“Balance her out? What are you talking about? I’m dead. What can I do?” I was confused. I had no idea what my parent’s souls were saying.

*Rina, you’re the Element of Death. The third, final, and most powerful Element of Hell. You balance out both the Element of Insanity and the Element of Rage. Which your sisters embody.*

“How do I get back?” I asked.

*Use your gifts. Focus your energy into your physical body and focus on making your heart beat. Then you will live again.* I did as my parents said and focused all of my energy and forced it back into my body. I condensed my energy around my heart and forced it to beat. I slowly felt my physical consciousness shifting back towards life, while my higher consciousness began to fade away. My good eye opened and I saw red. So much red. It was surrounding me. The socket which my other eye had occupied stopped bleeding, although I still saw nothing from it. And something was falling around me. Rose petals? I picked one up, and… Yes, they are rose petals! My lips… They became softer than the roses that fell around me. I had a thought. I kissed my palm, and there, growing in the center of my palm, was a red and black rose. I blew on it and the rose freed itself from beneath my skin.

“The kiss of mercy.” I whispered. I looked up and saw my sisters, Clara and Nimira, staring at me in horror. But something about them was different… they both had bat wings on their backs. Nimira’s wings were green and black, and her eyes were now two different colors. One yellow and one green. Clara’s wings were blue and black, and her brown eyes were now sapphire blue. And our home… it was burning! I stood up shakily.

“We have to get out of here before the house collapses. We-” I stopped mid sentence, catching my reflection in the half shattered mirror. On my back rested a pair of red and black bat wings, and my left eye was there, but clouded over, while my right eye was a pure, deep red. My lips were now a rose red color, and I was now wearing a gossamer red dress that came to my ankles. I looked… beautiful. “You were saying, Rina?” said Clara in a shaky voice. “We need to get out. I sense the building is near collapse, and very soon we will be trapped by the flames. Don’t ask me how I know this, I just know.” The floor shuddered and the wall behind us shifted, shattering the window and reinforcing my point. “Go! I’ll follow you out in a moment, there’s something I have to do first.” I whispered.

“Are you sure, Rina? You won’t have much time, and I can’t lose you again.” Asked Nimira.

I didn’t answer, instead, I turned my back on my sisters and started walking to my parent’s room. I saw my mother before I even got into the room. She lay on the floor, blood still oozing from her chest and seeping into the carpet. I sobbed, falling to my knees. “Goodbye, Mother.” I whispered, kissing her forehead and watching the rose bloom. The house shuddered yet again, more violently than the last time, bringing me back to my senses. I walked up to my father’s corpse. “Goodbye, Father.” I whispered and kissed his forehead as well.

Chapter two: GAINING DISTANCE

CLARA

“Where’s Rina?” I said once Nimira and I escaped the burning mansion.
