Sebastian
Sebastian sighs and slumps in his bed looking over at the TV and seeing the news, talking about the latest victim of Ignis. He frowns, it was bad enough about those two girls who died right outside their concert, but the fact his overprotective mother is keeping him with her is the cherry on top. He's not a kid anymore, I mean he's 24 now. He sits up, looks out the window, and sees the birds flying by. He smiles as they perch on a tree, the sunlight shining through the leaves making them seem onfire.
"Isn't fire beautiful?" a voice behind him says. Sebastian turns to see Ignis in his room. His eyes widen, and he screams out, backing up.
Ignis laughs and steps forward his boots creaking against the hardwood floor, suddenly Sebastian hears his mom,
"Honey, are you okay?" She yells running upstairs. Before he can respond she swings the door open looking right past Ignis and straight at him,
"Why on earth are you screaming?" She walks right past Ignis and to the TV shaking her head,
What's going on? Why can't she see him? Sebastian thinks
"You have to stop blaming yourself for this hon. I know you saw him burn those girls, I can't imagine what you're going through but you couldn't do anything." She hugs him and he nods still at a loss for words.
"Now, I'm going to make you some lunch" She smiles and walks out
Ignis turns to Sebastian and laughs,
"No...no. You're not losing your mind here Sebastian. You saw me in action and lived to talk about it, normally I'd kill you right here and now. But I like you, kid." Ignis laughs and then coughs holding his throat.
What the hell is he? A ghost? A god? Sebastian thinks
"How generous! A god! I like it...But no I'm an Angel Sebastian" Ignis laughs his dry wheezing laugh again
"You...You can read my mind?" Sebastian stammers out and Ignis nods
"I can do lots of things Sebastian...Lots of things" Ignis's lenses of his gas mask reflect fire inside of it and Sebastian backs up shaking his head.
"You're not an Angel...If anything you're a demon. What do you want? My soul?" Sebastian asks fearfully and Ignis shakes his head,
"No. I want you to witness my next murder, my friend." Ignis says sitting down on the bed and looking over at Sebastian.
"Me? Why?" Sebastian asks and Ignis stands up opens the window and hops out,
"You'll see when we get there. I'll come back, at midnight. If you don't want your house to burn down. Meet me at 442 Hickory Street." Ignis jumps out the window and disappears into a cloud of smoke.
"What the hell just happened," Sebastian says and sits down on the bed, the smell of smoke permeating around it.
Midnight huh? Well...I have no choice.

As midnight rolled around, Sebastian snuck out the window and walked to the place Ignis told him to meet. He stares into the house, and Ignis appears behind him.
"Very good, now I'm going to grant you my sight, you'll be able to see through my eyes. You might want to sit down and out of view." As Ignis says that, and before Sebastian can ask he sees his vision fuzz and switches to Ignis's perspective.
Ignis nods, walks up to the house, and lights his flamethrower, all Sebastian can do is watch on in horror. he sees his vision fuzz before Sebastian can ask and switches to Ignis's perspective.
