I opened my eyes and found myself in a rough bed inside a dark room. Moreover, I don't think this is an ordinary room.

My eyes wandered around and saw prison cell bars. Guess what. Yes, that's when it hit me.

I'm in a prison cell.

I rushed to the cell bars and shouted at the top of my lungs. "Let me go!" How did I ended up here? If this is a dream, what kind of dream is this?

A girl wearing a sleeveless gray shirt and gray pants with her black hair tied in a bun showed up.

"Tell uncle." a voice told her.

Who are these people?

A man in his 30s showed up next - "I'll take it from here." The girl walked away as the man walked towards me.

"Excuse me? What's going on? Who are you?" I tried to sound as tough as I can hoping that he won't notice my hands trembling.

"Easy there, young lady. YOU were the one who came to us without any notice. That's trespassing, you see? So I should be the one to ask you. Who are you and what's your purpose of coming here?" The man said keeping his calm expression as he stares directly into my eyes. Which honestly sends chills down my spine.

"Purpose?! You have got to be kidding me. I don't even know how I got here."

A guy scoffed, "Wow, unbelievable."

"You'll have to stay there then." He walked away from me after that.

What a mess. A cloud of thoughts started running inside my head. And a hint of anxiety started kicking in.

"Damn it. What should I do? Is this a dream? How do I wake up from this?"

Someone grunted and said "Keep it down, will you?"

I turned my head and found a gray-haired girl sitting in a metal. Twisting the upper half of the bowl ring of a metal spoon repeatedly looking like she's playing with it.

"Who are you? Let me go! Why am I here?" I furiously asked.

She then brushed her soft hair curls. And tucked a strand of her chin-length hair behind her right ear. "Yeah, why are YOU here? What's so special about you that I was tasked to guard here in the prison? This isn't something that I want to do for the rest of my life!" She's wearing a plain dark gray loose short-sleeved shirt tucked in her high-waisted black shorts. She also have a silver boots and elbow pads. And what seemed like motorcycle gloves.

"Quit whining, do you think I'm having fun here?" a redhead guy sitting beside her replied. He's wearing a bright red loose T-shirt, black sweatpants, orange elbow pads and what seemed like motorcycle gloves as well. Then I noticed the girl wearing hers too.

They both seem to be just around my age. They also have some kind of unusual accent.

Okay, Dal. Keep it together. You have to convince these guys to let you go and then you might be able to get out of this cell or this dream. I need to study more for Chemistry.

"What are you guys talking about? Can you get me out of here? In this cell or this dream--"

"Look girlie, we don't entertain trespassers, so if you can shut your mouth, please do so. I'm already pissed enough that they're not letting me train for right now. How can I improve then?" She then bended the long handle of the spoon as if it's made out of baby soft clay or something.

"Train for what?" I asked

"Train to--" Before she could finish her statement, the metal door located behind them slid up open. The man from just a while ago showed up. The two of them stood up straight.

"Crystal come with me, we'll report this to Blaze. And Ash, stay here and see what that trespasser is up to."

Crystal and Ash huh? I see.

"Right away, Uncle." The man and the so called-Crystal exited, leaving this Ash guy here.

Ash grunted. His eyebrows furrowed. The next thing I noticed is he made a high roundhouse kick towards the metal door. But distanced enough not to hit the door. But the leg that he used to do it released a blue flame that disappeared as soon as he landed his leg.

It shouldn't hurt to be a little friendly since this cell bars will be my shield right? And he'll have to free me here if he would want to beat me up.

"A Taekwondo roundhouse kick I see. But what's with the blue flame? Is this some show?" I asked while watching him. He responded with a glare and walked slowly to my cell bars.

"I see ya'know Taekwondo. And the flame, it's called carburizing flame. Would you like to see it for yourself and judge if it's for a show?" With that said he raised his right arm while glaring straight to my eyes. And as soon as he opened his palm, the same blue flame from before appeared, floating an inch above his right palm. It lightened up a portion of his face revealing his emerald green eyes.

Does he think I'd be fooled to say that that's some kind of magic? He could be hiding some invisible fire-producing equipment you know?

"Messy and straight ginger hair, emerald eyes, fair skin with a little to less freckles, who or what type of character are you portraying?" I tilted my head and took a closer look at his features, "I've read quite a ton of books and your features could get you to portray a soft guy and--"

"DO YOU WANT ME TO BURN YOU TO DEATH?!"

I felt my eyebrows rose as my eyes widened with how he said those words with such a sharp tone. Moreover, I felt a thin sheen of sweat roll down on a corner of my forehead.

Was that a threat? If it weren't for his emerald eyes, I could probably see his eye color turning into the color of rage of fire.

A soft guy? Him? Really Dal? Maybe not.

"Don't scare the lass off. She could be the girl that can help you drag Blaze down."

"Shut it Crystal. And tell me what are we supposed to do with this nuisance? Burn her to death? Extract the air or water from her body? Crush her with a boulder?"

As he speak those words, I can feel my heart pounding heavily. What did I get myself into? I can feel my fingers trembling again. This dream is not interesting and I just want to wake up as soon as possible!

"We'll have to bring him to Blaze's place."

"To who's place? Are you talking about that bastard? -"

Crystal sighed and pat him on the head. "There, there hot-headed cousin. Please stay back and perform your pissed scene behind me. I've got some Ferrokinesis to do."

Ferro- what?

Ash turned around and marched some steps back stomping on the floor. Why, he reminds me of a kid having tantrums.

What's the deal with you and your temper redhead? If I am to be with this guys for longer, I want to tell him that soon. Just not now, I still don't know what he's going to be like if I pissed him off.

Crystal took a deep breath then performed some firm moves with her arms. Then suddenly the cell bars slid up open.

You know what I'm thinking? Yeah, well. Did she seriously just do that?

"Did you? -" I asked in disbelief.

She stared at me for a moment and looked at Ash over her shoulder. "Are all trespassers falling in this prison as clueless as her?"

"We're not even sure where that nuisance came from. If she's one of the Mad Men, we better get rid of her soon."

She turned to me and said "You're weird. Haven't you heard of psychic abilities?"

Oh I've heard of them quite enough from Dylan. But watching her control the metallic cell bars and make it slide open without touching it, right before my eyes.

Did I hit my head somewhere? This doesn't make any sense. The spoon she was twisting before looks metal. And the cell bars that she just slid up open are metal as well.

"Are you saying you can manipulate metal?" With that said, she grinned in response.

"There's a pair of foot socks and shoes by the corner. Use them. We'll have to take a stroll."

Oh that reminds me, that I've been barefooted ever since I came here. Who would wear shoes inside their homes right? Considering how I got here, that's not surprising at all.

──

"Blaze really wants us to bring her to him?" Ash exclaimed in disbelief.

"Yeah. And that's the first. Don't you think something's weird with this girl?" I heard Crystal said at the back. While Ash is in front of me.

I'm weird? You guys are the weird ones.

"That is none of my business and I'm not interested."

They've been escorting me for minutes now. To where? I have no idea. We've been walking in a roadway in between some fields. They also have my wrists in handcuffs. I still don't understand why am I treated as a prisoner. Though I still have my legs. Ah let's see..

"What are you doing? Keep walking!" Crystal said when she noticed I stopped and turned to my right.

I gathered up my strength and threw a low roundhouse kick aiming at Crystal's left leg. But before I could touch her leg, she managed to take a step back and dodge my attack. "Woah there lassie!"

Then just before I was able to make my next move, the handcuffs slowly tightened in my wrists that made me close my eyes and shrieked in pain.

I froze.

So this isn't a dream after all?

"Stop it Crystal. Behave yourself trespasser, you won't be able to get away no matter how hard you try." Ash told us. The handcuffs started to loose at this point.

I just rolled my eyes and thought The next thing you guys know, I escaped.

"Where are you taking me?"

"You heard us before, to Blaze." Crystal said.

"Who?"

"Ash and Crystal! It has been a while, hasn't it, dear friends?"
