Flames

"Are...you sure?"

I asked but then she looked at me and I knew she wasn't completely confident yet.

"Let's just do whatever it is we have to do. What does she want me to do?"

The three of us were stuck. We didn't know what exactly it was that Jagi was supposed to do it's not like she could cast spells like Kim Yuri. We kept thinking for what felt like forever but nothing was forthcoming.

"I don't get it, if I'm meant to do something am I not supposed to know it? You know, like a gut feeling".

"You can try to meditate".

We both looked at Joo Ah, the one and only person who could ever come up with such a suggestion, and suddenly, all three of us burst into laughter.

At this point, Jagi had calmed down a lot and the room felt more at ease but we still didn't know what to do. In the process of talking, Jagi came close to the now completely frozen Kim Yuri and looked at her ice cold face.

"Are we sure she's still alive?"

She said and placed one of her hand on Kim Yuri's cheek and that was it. Suddenly, Jagi gasped which drew our attention. I was behind her so I couldn't see her face clearly but then Joo Ah called me.

"Shin Suri, you need to see this".

I went to the opposite side of the bed where Joo Ah was standing and then I began to witness another stage of something unexplainable.

Jagi's eye was completely black while Kim Yuri's eye was red. I went close to see Kali's eye and it was the exact same color as her mom's.

"What's going on Shin Suri? Why do they look like that?"

I looked at her with a face that said 'how exactly am I supposed to know?'

Slowly, the ice on both Kim Yuri's and Kali's body began to crack and we were both scared that the mother-and-daughter duo would break into pieces but it wasn't like there was anything we could do about it.

Jagi was beginning to look really pale which made us worry that whatever was happening was not a good sign. I went towards Jagi to try and pull her away but as soon as I touched her, some unexplainable invisible force pushed real hard and I hit my back on the wall.

"Shin Suri!!"

Joo Ah ran towards me. When she got there, she tried helping me up. While helping me up, she asked.

"Hey, are you okay?"

I looked at her while imagining if she didn't know that she was saying rubbish.

"Are you stupid? How can I be fine why I just flew halfway across the room?"

She left my hand which she was holding and in the process, I fell back on my butt.

"Awch, hey!!"

"Judging by how you can still talk so much, you look pretty okay".

She said and walked back to Jagi and the other two.

'Hah, I can't believe this girl, did she just leave me like this? Auch my back hurts and so does my butt'.

I could not stand up at least not yet.

The room was getting really cold, so cold it was like everybody inside would freeze very soon.

I finally stood up after what felt like forever and went toward Joo Ah. We both gave each other the 'I'm still pissed at you' look but we obviously weren't.

"What do we do? It's been more than an hour and the room is really cold. If this doesn't stop now, we will freeze to death".

"I don't know, you've seen it yourself, it's not like we can touch her".

While we were still talking, Jagi suddenly began to scream, and just like that, she was in flames. It started from her legs but the flame spread very fast and before we knew it, she was covered completely in flames.

"Oh....my....god!! This is bad".

Joo Ah was literally going crazy right now and she was holding me so tightly like she wanted to break my bones.

"Suri, what should we do?"

"Hey, let go of me. What do you want me to do? Jump towards the fire?"

While we were arguing, we didn't notice but as soon as we turned towards them, we realized that even Kim Yuri and Kali had been covered in flames and soon enough, the ice was melting and the floor of the entire room was covered with water.

Soon enough, the fire began to die down and when it did, both Kim Yuri and Kali both looked like they were back to normal although they still looked weak and were still unconscious.

Joo Ah fell to the floor so myself and Joo Ah ran over to see her condition. When we got to her side, her eyes were wide open and they were still completely black but the good part was that we knew she was alive, and funny enough, she wasn't burnt at all.

"Hey Jagi, are you okay?"

As soon as I asked her this question, her eyes began to go back to it's normal white color.

She tried sitting up but it seems she had a really bad headache as she was holding her head and whining in pain.

"Awch, my head hurts".

She then looked at me and Joo Ah and said.

"What happened, why am I on the floor? Is she dead?"

Joo Ah looked at me and I looked right back then we looked at Jagi herself.

"You don't remember anything?"

"No, I just remember holding her and then finding myself on the floor. Did something happen?"

"Well, we are not sure yet but it's either you killed her and her daughter or you saved them both".

She stood up and rushed towards Kim Yuri and we followed suit. She checked their pulse and it seems fine.

"I guess you are not a murderer after all".

I said and Joo Ah laughed lightly while Jagi looked at us with a killer look that looked cute, scary and funny at the same time.

"Let's leave them for now, it's already late, you guys should sleep here for tonight".

"Wait what? How long were we in there for?"

"Say about four hours".

"Jagi!!"

We heard someone call her name and we all turned around to see who it was.
