Chapter 18: Lost in the Inferno

   

I scramble, realizing that I am not completely split up from Molly. The flames grow higher behind me as I run. I panic, my second time I almost die today. That’s when it happens. Just my luck. I'm sprinting forward when a tree lands right in front of me, fully lit as if touched by the devil. I was trapped. A full 360 turn reveals full flames. I'm scared as I hear nothing of Molly in the distance. She's gone, probably miles away from here. No Molly to save me now.
I huddle in a corner, crying. I made it through so many trials, just to be killed here. I feel the flames getting closer as I look to my left and see them approaching, same to my right. This was the end, no dream I could escape to, no witch trying to torture me. This was the finale of the Legacy of Klarsey, the final chapter. I sat, curled into a ball on the forest floor, waiting for the fire to singe my skin off, making me into a human pot roast. I could feel the fire as it came to my back, and I flipped. "AAAHHH!" I screamed in pain, it was flaming me. I thought, as life flashed before me. All torture, and survival. I had been through war zones, hell, mental facilities, and even a damn Godzilla movie. This couldn't be it. My shirt lit on fire, but it had no effect to the burning rage inside of me.
I ripped my shirt off, feeling part of my back melting off with it. I then ran, full of fury towards the fire. The scariest thing yet. I then took my final leap and landed in the middle of another fiery inferno ring. Parts of my arm were peeling off now. This couldn't be the end. I then kept sprinting, quickly towards a small gap I saw in between the fire. I flew, my nerves literally on fire because I was nearly just skin and bone. I dove for the gap, hoping to land in my last fiery ring. I hit the ground. Then looked up to see my progress. Fire... I couldn't get out alive. This was my final adventure. The end of my torture, and probably the last time I would see Molly. I peered upwards one last time to finally seal my fate. All I saw was the black hood and white face of death, I then blacked out.
