It was a cold, stormy night in the year 1457… You had been accused of witchcraft, and your lover was condemned as your protector. Both of you were sentenced to burn at the stake.
As the guards closed in, you clung to each other, sobbing, desperate to hold on to the love you knew was about to be taken. In that final embrace, you whispered words you’d never get to say again, pouring a lifetime of love into moments stolen from the flames.
But it wasn't enough.
They dragged you both through the muddy streets, the villagers shouting with hatred, torches raised high. The fire at the stake danced wildly, as if it knew it was about to feast.

You also had a fear of fire which you thought was very random and odd.. but never thought much of it. You arrive at school finding tons of students chatting away and giggling loudly, you feel slight annoyance but you just suck it up. You walk towards your locker and grab the essential things of the class you have in 5 minutes. After that you decide to head over to class early, you take a seat at your usual desk at the back and just stare out the window, there were a few other students there with you and you heard them speak of a new student coming here, you wondered if he'll just be the same as all the others or different. The bell rings and everyone heads inside, the teacher comes in with his usual black coffee and tired look on his face, before starting the lesson he began to speak
