A few darker areas. Just a warning

"
An 8 year old Ember sat silently on a rock in the middle of the meadow. She watched the flowers move gently as the wind blew in them. Sometimes she would see a butterfly or a snake. It was peaceful and quiet, but it wouldn't be for long. 
She perked her head up and her smile faded as she heard the first scream. She jumped up and ran to the tree line, stopping as she felt intense heat of a fire. She quickly ran forward, avoiding the flames as she made her way into the teox base. The choking smoke got thicker as she ran forward. She stopped, fear growing, as she soon her mother's lifeless body laying on the rock floor. She heard a scream, not realizing it was her voice. Just then, she heard a yell.  A low yell coming from the race ever one knew as " human.
"Ember." She turned her head quickly towards the voice to see her brother, Lukeas  rushing toward her. His dark, black hair messy from fighting. He held his sword close as he ran to her. " Leave. I'll find father and we'll come find you. I promise. " He said."No. Lukeas let me help you."  She pleaded. "No. Go." He ordered her.
She nodded and ran under the wall on the far side of the rock floor. She heard Lukeas yell and she turned just in time to see a sword go through his chest. She screamed and ran into the forest not looking back.

She didn't know how long she rsn, She just kept running until she couldn't breath. She stopped under a willow. She looked up, and proceeded to slowly climate the trunk to get into the branches. At the top, she hid in the branches and rested for a bit.She looked up and joined a town in the distance.She looked behind her, seeing the sun slowly set. She slid down the trunk and started walking in the direction of the town hoping to get there before sundown. 

She walked for the longest time, the the sun shonking more and more bind the mountains. After she got into the toen, she looked around fearfully as the humans stared at her distrustfuly. A man slowly walked up to her. " Hello young teox. Are you lost?" He asked gently, kneeling down to get to her level. She nodded in reply, scared of the man kneeling before her. " I am brendon. And who might you be?" He asked gently." I...Im Ember Nyx Light." " Well Ember, would you like to stay at my place for he night until we find your parents?" Ember nodded, a slight smile spreading acrost her face. 

He led her to a small cottage on the east side of the town. On the way, she told Brendon everything that happened. " Ember, you may stay here for as long as you need to." He told her as they walked inside. She met his wife, Misty and their son, Obadiah. " Ember, this will be your room..." Misty told her opening a door to a room with a large bed with a black sheep skin blanket on top. The room has a white wood dresser, an oil lamp, and a book shelf filled with books, paper, and pens." Thankyou." She walked in and layed  down on he bed, exhausted from the trip.

Weeks passed and her depression grew. She hardly left her room, hardly ate. She didn't find peace until she turned 10.She was walking down the stream before she felt intense sadness coming from a woman near her. ' I wish she would be happy.' Ember thought. The woman stopped crying and started smiling slightly.Realization hit Emperor thst she made the women happy. She felt a smile cross her face for he first time in two years. 

Ember found out she could heal after Obadiah got a cut from cooking. She went to a look at it and it stared healing slowly. She realized she did that and later found she could heal herself also. She found out when she was 12 that she could control fire when she was cooking and the fire sprung up into her hands withrout burning her. That was also the time she got in trouble for burning the dinning table. 

At 1 the age of 13 she found out she could mimic others abilitys. A human gifted with the ability to communicstr with animals.She watched the man speak to a squirrel  and she had a vision of herself   doing it. She tried and found out, she could do it. That was also the time that she told the neighbors their dogs was a male named Susan and he wanted them to accept his life choices. 

From that point on, Ember decided to travel and help anyone she could. She would help them with anything. That would mean leaving her new family, but she wanted to go help others and search for her father. After Ember turned 15, two weeks after the start of spring, she went to a local merchant and bought a horse named Martes. She packed up the little things she had and said goober to Brendon, Misty, and Obadiah until she visited. She left, riding into the North to make a new life for herself, helping others and searching to see if her only living family member was alive.
