There was hearty laughter at her threats and Stephany swiped at the jacket again, hitting Tegwen's right arm brutally.

Tegwen screamed so loudly that her throat burned. It was a guttural, dreadful sound that caused all the girls to cease their relentless beating for just a moment. Though it was only a myth, the girls were certain they'd heard a banshee's shriek filling the gym. GET OUT!, it seemed to wail in unearthly tones.

But as loud as the cry was, it couldn't compare to the ear-popping explosion. There were five faint screams of terror as flame seemed to erupt from all over Tegwen's body, mostly shooting from the palms of her outstretched hands. At least, that's how it felt to Tegwen.

A frightening, unfamiliar feeling burst from the little witch's palms like flame, acting as the physical embodiment of all her rage and fear. It was so uncontrolled, terrifying. Like wildfire baring down upon wilderness.

Smoke filled the Duckburg High School gym. Slowly, Tegwen lost consciousness, hearing her attackers' screams drowning to blackness.
