Two days after my breakdown in front of the group, I've been good. Maliki is doing something with his men so I'm in the bathroom showering.

Finishing, pulling on clothes, I head for the dining room. Looking for something to eat, I find some spaghetti and heat it up. Tummy full, I want Maliki's company and go find hem.

Closing the door on the library, Xavier walks up. "What cha looking for, princess." He asks. I shuffle my feet, thinking I get in trouble. Xavier places a hand on my shoulder "You looking for Maliki." He asks. I nod, head turned away.

Xavier gently pulls me down the hall. "What you see stays a secret, got it." Xavier says. I cock my head but nod as we get to a solid iron door. Xavier opens the door to reveal a set of stairs.

Going down the first few, Xavier looks back at me. "Coming princess." He says and I follow, staying close. I don't like basements. Grunting sounds as thuds connect with something.

Coming around the corner, Maliki slams a fist into a man's stomach. The man is strunk up on a hook and has many cuts, burns and bruises.

I'm scared shitless, will this happen to me. Maliki turns to me "Uh oh, I'm in trouble. Princess has found me." Maliki says, the man looking at me.

"Who's he, a prisoner, a slut for you to fuck." The man growls. Maliki glares, turning to punch the guy. I speak first.

"Do you know the pain of being beat everyday. Locked in a basement, a color and handcuffs securing me to a pipe. Every day, I'm force to pleasure my captors, fucking one just so I can be ensure a meal atleast." I walk to the guy.

"You know nothing." I deliver a right cross and it connects with his jaw. The sound of bones snapping sends me pleasure as he screams in agony.

Maliki leans on the wall as I take his place, unleashing all the anger that has built up in my soul. Levi and Zack hold the guy as my blows rock the very beam the hook is connected to.

I land one blow, the anger inside reaching a boiling point and the man screams as the flesh is burned. My fist is alight with fire and it feels good.

Looking at the guy, he has a look of fear. With a smirk, placing my hand on his belly, the fire scorches the soft flesh and he howls in pain.

My arm glows, eyes blaze as my body catches fire. A tornado of fire engulfs me, it dissipates soon and I fall back, Maliki catching me.

Time skip

Slowly opening my eyes, I look around and see Maliki. "Your an elemental master. Of fire from what we saw. Oh and that guy was from an enemy mafia group." Maliki says.

Getting up from the bed, I turn and remove me shirt. Placing my hands on the footboard, Maliki's eyes widen.

Hands snake my arms, pulling them from the metal. He turns me around "Never will I ever hurt you." Maliki says. He leans down, lips sealing over mine and a warmth fills me. Maliki pulls away and I see my hand is lit with a blue fire.

"Anger unlocked your fire, love unlocked the blue fire. Some say there's a third level, even a fourth but no one has ever even touched the blue fire." Maliki says.

Maliki pulls me close, hicking a leg on his hip as he leans me over the footboard and kisses me. I know what he wants but I'm not ready.

Hands pushing against his chest, Maliki pulls back. "I'm sorry, I pushed too quickly." Maliki says. Cupping his cheek, I kiss hem.

"Its not that, I'm just ready to be intiment. Not yet at least. Just, give me some time." I say. Maliki nods, kissing me. "Take all the time you need, Mi Amor." Ha said and we lay down, falling asleep.
