"The fire you set in me
Will consume everything in its path.
And when the smoke clears,
You'll be the only thing left to burn." ~Araneae Ruber

THE BATH water splashed around as Louis suddenly stood from it. As usual, she had fallen asleep in the bath, lost in her pitiful thoughts.
Stepping out, she didn't care to clean her body as she walked up to the mirror and stared at her reflection.
She could feel it. The raising anger growing within her.
"I should stop being like Luella? I don't need to be like her. I am better than she. I will always… always be better than she would ever be." Louisa gritted her teeth and, without warning, she punched the mirror, forcing it to shatter in pieces.
Clenching the sink till her knuckles turned white. "What Luella can do. I will do it better."
She lifted her head and stared at her reflection through the broken shards. "No, not will. I can do better than she ever will."
