EVERYONE: - Complete Strike the Spark

It was warm with him. Nuzzled against the soft fur, it made me want to forget my real family.

I knew he wasn't my father, despite what that woman thought. I knew *she* wasn't my mother. But I called them as such because it was what I wanted.

That world was my own. In it, I could do as I pleased, and there was none to oppose me. I commanded the God of Volcanoes, illusionary though he was, and could have ruled the world if I so wanted.

But no, I was naive then. For a brief moment I wanted my true family back, and that was what I got.

If only it had happened now. I could wish them away and have my ideal again.

Mama is in the lab, researching something I couldn't care less about. Papa is elsewhere, at some site halfway around the world.

I look out the window at the garden, which lays unattended. I wish for a new one, and the flowers burst into flames.

My power is back, and I smile.

Teddiursa squeals, clinging to me. Yes, I'll spare you, don't fret. But the others in this house won't be so lucky.

I have no need for the flames of Entei. I have my own.

And then I will have the company I so desire.

Ohhhh! Molly :-D.

Nice to see a fic about her falling back to evil ways, too. That's one thing with many of your short vignettes though - I always feel like there's so much more of a story to tell ^^;.

That's another problem I have--most of my fics read like prologues.

At least Obsession will go all the way to the end. *whistful sigh*
