Roman laid in his bed. He hated breakfast time so he usually never went down to eat.

This morning was different though.

Most mornings it was calm and cheery down there but this morning it was loud and chaotic.

So he decided to go downstairs and tell them to quiet down.

Is that what actually happened though? Of course not.

Roman made his way down the stairs to see the entire family standing.

He scanned the living room to see Destiny standing as well.

Roman rethought for a moment.

Maybe one bite to eat wouldn't hurt.

But when he made it almost completely down the stairs he heard some very unsettling things.

He stood a few steps behind Eric so was speaking.

I'm not embarrassed Arlo. I knew exactly what I was doing and I don't regret it" Roman heard Eric say

Don't regret what? Roman thought.

"What don't you regret Eric?" Lady Willow stood and asked the same exact question that popped into Romans head.

"Well Lady Willow, last night I caught Destiny sneaking into Eric's room." The room went silent when Arlo said this.

This caught Romans attention.

Why would she go into Eric's room so late at night?

Romans heart rate picked up quickly.

"And not to sleep I promise you that. Destiny and Eric fucked last night" Arlo continued.

That was it.

Romans heart... shattered to pieces.

He could actually feel the pain in his chest as the room went dark behind his glazed eyes.

He could feel the tears start in his eyes and the heat in his hands.

Roman glanced over at Destiny with tears in his eyes.

When she finally noticed him, he could see the pain in her eyes.

Although he didn't understand why it was there, because clearly she had a fun time last night.

Suddenly Roman decided to speak.

"You really fucked her Eric?" Roman asked and he could feel the crack in his voice from the tears welling up in his eyes.

Suddenly Eric turned around to face him and Destiny ran to the stairs where they both were standing.

"No no no Roman it wasn't like that I promise. We didn't fuck. I'm a virgin." She told him, in a panicked voice.

"Then why is Arlo saying that you two fucked last night?" Roman looked between the both of them, he could feel his heart breaking more and more with every word they said to him.

Eric responded to this question very quickly.

"Because Arlos a dick and doesn't know what he's talking about."

Destiny nodded quickly when Eric said this.

Roman looked down at his feet to hide the tears that continued to form in his eyes. Then quickly looked behind the two of them at where Arlo was standing.

"Arlo, how do you know they fucked?" He asked him. Roman was desperately hoping for an answer that didn't specifically prove that they did indeed have sex.

"I heard her moaning his name through the wall when I followed her up there." Arlo responded.

Well shit.

They really did have sex.

And Roman really thought he was starting to fall for this girl.

This girl who was supposed to be sweet and innocent and shy and caring.

She was really just a backstabber who just wanted dick.

Roman sighed and finally brought himself to look back down at Destiny.

She was so small.

Before all this he just wanted to hold her in his arms and protect her from everything possible.

Now he didn't even want to look at her.

But he did and he told her.

"People don't moan in their sleep Des" Roman tried to keep his voice as monotone as possible to hide the heartbreak he was feeling in that moment.

"Roman please." She begged him but Roman had already turned around and walked back up the stairs to his room.

He really couldn't believe everything that had just been said.

This girl. This human girl. She was nothing like what she had seemed before.

Roman made his way all the way back up to his room and slammed his door shut.

He could feel the heat building in his hands.

God please don't let this be happening now.

Roman hated his power sometimes.

He hated how much control he didn't have over it.

He hated how much control IT had over him.

He hated how every little emotion made his ability spark.

The heat is his hands continued to heighten until the flames appeared.

Tears rolled Romans chiseled cheeks.

He felt these overwhelming spurts of sadness, anger, guilt and heartbreak.

He thought this girl was different.

Clearly he was very wrong.

Roman could feel the heat taking over his whole body as the anger and sadness took over.

He screamed as the flames engulfed his body.

First his hands but the flames quickly spread to his arms and chest down to his torso and legs and finally back up to his head.

His hair engulfed in these beautiful yet dangerous orange and red flames.

He screamed at the pain even though deep down he knew it hurt less than the emotional pain.

Slowly but surely his entire room engulfed in flames.

The family downstairs could not ignore the house heating up almost immediately and the smell of smoke.

"What in the hell?" Destiny said confused.

"Its Roman" Wyatt answered her.

From the doorway of the kitchen area Destiny saw Selene out of the corner of her eye.

"You see Destiny? I told you he's a monster. All it takes is one little overwhelming feeling and people end up dead" Selenes eyes seemed to burn into Destiny's soul.

Destiny couldn't help but stare at Selene with an angry expression.

"Are you kidding me?" She asked.

"He's not a fucking monster. He's just hurt" Destiny defended Roman.

"And who's fault is that?" Selene asked angrily.

"How is that her fault Selene?" Wyatt asked.

"She was the one who fucked Eric and pissed off Roman." Selene spat.

Wyatt looked lost and confused.

"You did what?" He asked and turned towards Destiny.

"For the last fucking time, we didn't have sex" Destiny yelled.

Suddenly they all looked up to see the fire was spreading down the stairs faster and faster.

Wyatt didn't think twice before racing up the stair.

He disappeared into the fire.

"What the hell is he doing?" Destiny asked the family.

"He's a water controller dear. He's going to diffuse the fires" Elena explained to her kindly.

"As for the rest of us. We should probably leave before Destinys mess kills us all" Selene said and glared in her direction.

"Knock that off Selene. Its not her fault. For the record she went up there looking for Roman but decided against it and came to lay down with me so she wouldn't make some dumb decision" Eric explained.

"What kind of dumb decision? Like sleeping with you?" Selene shot him a look.

"We didn't even have sex. I was just helping her because I'm sure we all here know that if she had sex with Roman she would've ended up dead." Eric continued.

"He has a point. I mean I know we're all inhumanly much bigger than Destiny but Roman is quite literally twice her size in every aspect." Eleanor backed him up.

"Thank you Ellie" Eric smiled at his little sister.

"That doesn't justify it Elle" Arlo said to her.

"What was he supposed to do? Let her stay in that state until it drove her crazy enough to go to Romans room?" Elena asked and directed her attention to Selene and Arlo.

Suddenly Lady Willow stopped the fight by turned on the kitchen faucet water.

"Would you guys stop fighting and try to help Wyatt out before this entire home burns to the ground" Lady Willow demanded.

They all rushed to the kitchen and bathrooms and turned on as many faucets as they could.

"What is this gonna do?" Destiny asked quietly.

Arielle was the one who answered this time.

"Wyatt and Wynter are water controllers, all they can do is control it and freeze it. They can't create it like Roman can create fire." Arielle explained to her.

Suddenly the water from one of the bathroom faucets started levitating towards the door.

Arielle and Destiny looked to the doorway and saw Wynter.

"Thanks" she smiled at them before rushing with it to the stairs to help her brother.

Meanwhile upstairs...

"Roman!" Wyatt yelled.

He got no answer.

"Roman you have to stop!" He yelled again.

"Roman! You're gonna hurt everyone in this house if you don't stop!" Wynter yelled as they bother hovered the water over the flames.

"That's including Destiny!" Wyatt yelled.

"I know you care about her. You wouldn't want her hurt would you?" Wyatt asked as they continued putting out the flames on the first and second level.

Suddenly all the flames went down a bit and Roman came into sight.

"Roman" Wynter whispered.

"I do care about her. But she doesn't want me" He said sadly.

"How can you be so sure?" Wynter asked.

Tears formed in his eyes.

"She slept with him" Roman whispered.

"I heard all about that. I heard both sides of the story Rome. Arlo dramatized it. He made it seem like they had sex but they didn't" Wynter told him softly.

"Then why did he hear moaning? Huh? How do you explain that?" He asked getting slightly angry as the flames got a bit higher.

"Okay Roman just calm down a bit. Des is still in the house. She came up here looking for you last night." She explained to him.

"Then how'd she end up in Eric's bed?" He sniffled.

"She thought you wouldn't want her so she decided to lay down with Eric. According to her she felt like that because she was thinking of you. All Eric did was help because he didn't want her to leave and find you because you could easily hurt her if you two did anything" Wynter explained further.

"You guys really think I'd hurt her?" He asked.

"Not willingly" Wyatt continued.

"You think I can't fucking control myself?" He got angrier by the minute.

The flames continue to rise.

Roman engulfed in flames again as the anger spread throughout his entire body.

"Roman stop!" Wyatt yelled as he continued to put out the fires with the water.

But Roman just easily built them back up.

Suddenly Wyatt quickly froze the water, creating an icicle shard and threw it at Roman.

While Roman was busy dodging the shards of ice, Wynter continued putting out the fires with her water.

This plan worked because slowly and surely the third floor was rid of fire.

They slowly backed Roman up into the fourth floor and continued on.

After what seemed like forever the entire house was rid of fire and a mess.

As was Roman as well.

On the fifth floor, Roman laid on the floor, exhausted.

His eyes were closed and his skin covered in burns.

As soon as the fight was over Destiny ran up the stairs to Roman as fast as she possibly could.

When she found his body her eyes filled with tears.

She knelt down by his body and held his face in her hands.

"Oh Roman" she whispered.

"I'm so sorry" she cried.

"I didn't mean for this to happen. This is all my fault, please don't die on me please." She sobbed and begged.

Destiny couldn't imagine what she'd do if Roman died.

It would kill her.

And it's crush her even more so because deep down she knows it'd be all her fault.

She should've just stayed in the living room last night.

If she'd just done that, then none of this would've ever happened.

But instead, the house is all burnt and needs to be fixed, everyone's exhausted and scared and Romans not waking up.

Destiny cried harder.

She hasn't even been here that long and she was already causing issues.

She let go off his face and brought her legs up to her chest and sobbed.

Suddenly in the midst of all her crying, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Roman move ever so slightly.
