As Amy approached the cave, she spotted the Hunters. They had already reached the cave and had surrounded the entrance with guns drawn. Mara was just inside the cave entrance, panicking and looking around wildly for some way to escape.
More like cowering in fear, thought Amy. Well, I'll give those hunters something to really be afraid of.
She circled around, and landed on top of the rocks above the cave. She let out an earthshaking roar to get the Hunters attention. They looked up at her with fear, a fear she could smell. It smelled good, and she couldn't help but smile. She felt a pressure on the right side of her chest. She looked down, and saw some foolish hunters firing their guns at her. The bullets were not powerful enough to pierce her thick hide, and they bounced harmlessly off her skin. But they bruised her a little, and the arrogance of the humans annoyed her. She sucked in a large gulp of air, then blasted the truck beside them with a large jet of flame. The car was engulfed in flame. It resisted, but eventually exploded in a fiery blast.
The explosion excited Amy, and she looked for another car to destroy. She quickly spotted one, and let loose another jet of flame. It exploded, sending fiery shrapnel in every direction. Amy went wild, targeting every car she could find. She wanted to make them all explode, to make the fire even larger. A hunter fired a shot at her face. She quickly turned her head and let lose another jet of flame, incinerating him. The smell of burned flesh was intoxicating. She began to target the humans now. She wanted to set them all alight. She wanted to set everything on fire!
Amy turned and saw Mara. She was crouched over a human, a small boy. Amy hesitated, and reigned in her fire. She looked closely, and recognized her brother, John, in Mara's arms. He looked hurt, and was not moving.
Amy slowly came to her senses, and looked around her at the carnage. There was fire everywhere, the forest was a smoking rubble. And dead smoldering bodies littered the forest around the cave entrance.
No, no. This is wrong. This isn't what I wanted, thought Amy sadly. I just wanted to help Mara. I didn't want to kill anyone. I didn't want to become a monster.
She looked down at her still brother, and her friend, Mara, too frightened to even meet her gaze. Amy hung her head in shame. She flapped her wings, and flew away.
