Tyro's Tail-Ember's story (part 1)

Tyro, medium sized for a tiger and playful
This is going to be a series of tales about my elemental characters, Ember-fire, her twin Sparx-lightning, her younger brother, Granite-stone, her little sister, rain-water, and her mother and Father, Rose-earth and Crow-wind. This is all told by a young white Tiger named Tyro, who is also Ember's very close companion.

Wildfire(bottom) still deep within Ember's own heart,
knowing every emotion and feeling, planning to crush every last one when she returns
Wildfire
Ember had a wildness about her. She was part wolf(part human), and had the power of fire. she was kind and determined, one who never ran from a fight, especially when it meant something to her. But she had her own issues. Anger was her mortal enemy, the anger that Ember could not control. When she got this way once a boy had kissed her to calm her spirits, sometimes they through water over her, and sometimes confined her to a closed space. But there were times, when she outgrew her own level of anger and hatred. When all the things that meant life to Ember became dust. In Ember's mind, Tyro could only guess, was a constant battle, a battle for control over her own self. She fought with the fire that surrounded her heart and the fear that she could kill someone she found too dear to live without. Yet, those times came, she would lose all self control and become a new being that did not have anything to do with the teenager who's body it dwelled inside, except wanting to survive and make that teenager hurt so much...
Tyro was sure not even the boy who kissed her could make her change back. Nor could water or closed spaces, because at that time she would no longer be her, who she was or who she wanted to be. She would be the monster that all the little children saw in there sleep, every mother feared while there children ran with a candle, every man saw in the flames while the elders recited their legends. She would be as wild as a mustang, reckless as a barbarian, and as deadly as the grim reaper himself. She would become a demon that everyone despised, and more than that feared with there heart and soul. And all that kept Ember from finding a way to rid herself from it was"she is the only thing that my mother could do to keep me alive...."

Tyro looks away, his eyes glazed with tears, this was true. When Ember was young she almost drowned in the water. When she was recovered, the doctor said that she wouldn't make it, that half of her was already in the spirit world. Ember's mother, Rose, cried for days, and rarely left Ember's side. When Ember's twin,Sparx, came back with her father, Crow They too wept over her, though Ember didn't yet know why. One night a demon came, twas the demon of fire itself, a demon only heard of in legends. The demon named Wildfire. Rose pleaded with the demon, who was inside dying as well, to help her save Ember. The demon to graciously agreed. Ember was alive again, but the demon was brought back as well.

Through the years Ember grew to know that she as different and the villagers soon learned that as well. Ember soon had two knew brother and sister. Rain and Granite. She loved them, but soon after...the worst happened. The villager's learned of Ember's demon side and wanted to destroy her. Rose blocked the way. Ember watched as they brought her mother down and fled. Her father had returned by now and saw his wife laying crumpled in a heap on the ground. He too tried to stop the villagers, but he too was killed. Granite and Rain were children now, the age as Ember when she fell into the water. They were playing in there rooms, Sparx was tending to the horses and Ember didn't know what to do. She was afraid, and angry, and filled with undying hatred....Tyro had been a young cub then, his mother,Serenity, belonged to Rose. She too was destroyed. Tyro had hidden and did not know the rest...that you would have to ask Ember herself.....
