My mind flashes through every scene about putting out fire with water.  The fire is supposed to die down, not grow! I slowly roll away to the nearest shelter. What could have caused it to grow larger? The only thing I can think of is . . . . . . Oh my god! It WAS NOT water!
   It was oil.
   How could I be so dumb?
I check the containers again. But they say water. How could it have been oil- The murder. She filled it with oil when I was gone. Dang! That girl is smooth! 
   I run to the fire station and  use their emergency hose. I spray the fire with water and it is dead. It smokes revenge.
   Luckily for it, that's exactly what it's going to get.  
 
   What can I do? I can't flood her house! She'll be expecting me! Whatever I do, Kelly will be effected by it. Maybe I could set her out on a wild goose chase. 
   I don't plan things very often. I just do them. I'm the kinda "I'm gonna wing this test and hopefully get a C!" person. I'll just walk over to her house. Maybe shoot a bow and arrow like Katniss into an apple and watch the house explode.
   I'm going to go back to my "house" (actually, a pile of wreckage) to find some weapons-just in case.  But first, I need to douse the fire in water so I don't get burnt. 
   I walk over to the nearest grocery store which looks almost untouched except for a large hole on the roof. In smells of rotten milk.
   Thankfully, inside there is enough water to fill a pool, so I'm going to take a couple bottles at a time and stash them by the tree. I gently pick up two non-see-through containers and slowly walk over to the tree like there is nothing on my mind. I do this a couple more times resulting in about eight containers of water to douse the large fire. 
   I walk over to the nearest drugstore, and the tree is out of my view. I search the store for any weapons in case I encounter "her". I find a pocket knife with the little scissors and get some rope too. To my surprise I find a gun behind the counter with loaded bullets. I take another bag of bullets- because I'm a bad shooter.
   I walk back to the tree, and there are my containers untouched. I take them all over at once and douse the fire. And suddenly it grew larger and roared.     
 
   The bright sun gleams and sends burning rays into my eyes. I try to shade myself with a rag I found next to me, but I find it scorching hot as well. I start to cough at the inhaling or smoke. Someone can't be having a barbecue, can they? I get a brief look around my territory, and spot a growing, illuminated orange spot in my area. Before my brain realizes what is happening, my body automatically starts running away. Why am I running away from my home?
"Fierrrr, Fieahhh,fiewr!"
   I scream in terror. My mouth can barely comprehend what's happening. I'm running for my life, once again, in the past twelve hours. 
   As soon as I clear the area, I lose my balance and my legs go numb. I take a great plunge onto the sidewalk, and try to maneuver my way to a tree so I can prop myself up. 
    I stare at my watch. It's  7:34 AM. None of the parts are moving. What a piece of junk. I try to open the back panel and it results in a sticky mess with  a small cut on my thumb. Sure, it hurts, but I try to focus on the sticky mess. Why is there wet glue in the back? I'm not dumb (Well, I actually am, but it feels kind of nice to say that without John correcting me). I think it was intentional. It's not like I go pouring gobs of glue in my watch while I'm sleeping. 
    I pull my iPhone out of my pocket. It says 7:37 AM. Of course. The murder left it so the time of the fire approaching me was visible.  Maybe she even hopes... the time of my death. Who am I kidding? She's a murder! Or course she wants to kill me!
    Not only was the killing of my watch intentional, but I believe the fire was, too. Only then do I realize the murder was playing games with me. Today she is playing games with fire. Only it's my turn on the board game to death. 
My mom always told me not to fight fire with fire. Well, sorry Mom, but this fire going to grow much larger than intended.
