<3rd person POV>
Lucy froze in shock, her heart racing as she realized the question that would determine her future. /WHAT IS YOUR DESIRE?/ The bright blue light piercing her soul. For a moment, Lucy's mind was blank, but then the memories of her past life flooded in. She saw herself as a child, suffering abuse at the hands of those who were supposed to protect her.
The rage and pain of those memories welled up inside her, and she felt the power of fire course through her veins. But at the same time, she remembered the two beautiful children who were her life now, and she knew she couldn't give in to her darker impulses. "I want the power to protect my children," she said, struggling to keep her voice steady. But even as the words left her lips, she felt the anger and pain bubbling up inside her, and the heat of the flames rising to the surface. She had to choose: protect or destroy. Which would she choose?
Lucy closed her eyes, taking a deep breath to steady herself. She thought of her children's smiling faces, and she knew her answer. "Protect," she said, opening her eyes to meet the light's gaze. But as she did, she felt the flames surge within her, threatening to consume her resolve. The light flashed, and she felt the power of fire pulse through her body. But she held on to the image of her children, and she forced herself to focus on her new life, not her old one. It was a battle, but she was determined to win.
CRACK
It was just a little loss in her concentration, and she could see 'his' face. It was only a fleeting moment but it was enough.
CRACK
Lucy felt the rage and pain within her build to a fever pitch. Like a dam slowly breaking, details of her past life forced their way in. She thought of the people who had harmed her, and she wanted nothing more than to make them suffer as she had. She felt the flames rise within her, and she knew she had the power to destroy them all. And in that moment. "Destroy," a voice, low and full of fury. Echoing from everywhere and nowhere. She felt the power of the flames course through her, and she knew it was becoming something else, something beyond human. And she reveled in it.
" No... Stop." She pushed back, forcing the surge back in futility.
Deep within her soul, she saw a sea of fire, each wave of destruction encroaching on her psyche.
She found herself on a beach with golden sand, with destruction washing up the shore from the sea of fire.
She felt a strong pulling sensation from the sea of fire, so she slowly walked into it. Minutes, hours passed and she finally got to the center of the surge.
In the center of the blazing ocean covered in chains, each one scalding, Rd no was a young girl. Looking no older than sixteen the girl stared glared at Lucy. Her gaze thick with hatred, loathing, detestation, abhorrence, animus, antipathy and enmity. One had to wonder what she went through to release such a multitude of emotions with a single gaze.
"You." Lucy recognized her, why wouldn't she? She had died in that body.
"What are you?" She slowly walked up to the girl.
The girl stared a little longer, her mouth slowly parting to speak.
And then, with a roar.
"BURN EVERYTHING!!!!!!".
"Gah." Lucy came to, her hand gripping the steering wheel of her car so hard it dented.
She was covered in sweat, her entire being still trembling for the amount of rage forced into her mind.
"What the hell was that?" She didn't get the chance to ponder however as she received an alert from her system.
'Can you give me a second? My heart's about to give out from beating so fast '
I open the door and step out of my car to escape the increasing heat I'm currently feeling.
Of course the system pays no heed and resumes with a red light.

*Sizzle*
I look at my hand which is resting on my car and see my hand melting through.
Oh shit .
I can't let people see me.
Ah there's an alley.
Not bothering to look if it's safe, i rush in to the alley.
This burning pain isn't going away.
~ERROR~
Pain is the only thing i can feel as a familiar surge rises from within me.
"Well what do we have here?" I hear a voice, male. Too much pain to get up.
"You look to be in a pickle. Why don't i take away your troubles, hehehehe" i can hear him standing over me.
"Now let me have a taste blergh" Like a blur my right hand is already clutching his throat.
So much pain, i want to scream but my voice won't let me.
~€¥π¢%DEST%©®CTION~
"You 'urk' bitch arrrh" His words are cut short as his head literally burst into flames.
Eh, what just, did he just die. No no no , why.
I watch as his flaming body quickly turn to ash. My head still hurting from the pain.
My right arm suddenly begins itching.
I can see my right arm turning red with every second, emitting steam.
Splat
It explodes, my arm literally exploded. I stared at it for a moment and then even more pain hit me as i grab my stump. My voice finally returning. I shriek.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!" I roll around on the floor as i lose my self in the pain and i nearly missed it.
~%€¥$@@PROT€€°°®©ON~
The itching intensify and i watch my stump grow new flesh and bone as my right arm regenerates in seconds.
'Wha'
~€¥π¢%DEST%©®CTION~
My left arm explodes with no warning and I'm back on the floor screaming in pain.
~%€¥$@@PROT€€°°®©ON~
As quickly as my right arm, my left arm mends itself.
~€¥π¢%DEST%©®CTION~
This time my right leg explodes and I'm filled with dread as i finally realize the pattern.
