Hi those who are reading this, this is not my first fic and this is actually my second account, but I'm writing this Firefighter AU for a friend who's fan art is amazing! This story is based off of her art and I couldn't be happier to write about it! i hope you enjoy and sorry the first chapter is so short!

The world is full of surprises some big some small, and of course they are not all good, but they are not all bad. All my life I've had my fair share of experiences and surprises, we all have. Whether it's a birthday surprise, or your lover telling you their pregnant, or your friend telling you they just got tickets for you and them to see your favorite band, there is always something to give you a little jump. However sometimes these surprises come slow and unnoticed, back then my experience was only the tip of the iceberg or the calm before the storm before my world dull world was collapsed in fire and ash.

My lungs burned with an intense pain and my eyes shot open from their sleep to see my world blazing in what I can only describe as hell. I couldn't tell if I was dreaming and having a horrible nightmare or if this was real life. Last thing I knew I was bent over my text book for a long night of cramming before the big test in the morning. The intense heat and the smoke tearing at my lungs told me it was not a dream and I was actually in my own personal hell. I tried to move out of my seat but my body was stunned in pure terror and the flames seemed to be coming closer and closer. I tried picking up my head but that was no good either. I was trapped in my own body paralyzed with fear, and exhausted by the smoke slowly suffocating me. I yelled for help but I'm sure it barely made a sound over the roar of the fire raging in my small apartment. Tears slowly came to my eyes and stained my face, and I knew this was it that I would die here at the age of 18.

I would never finish school, or go on to find my dream job, I would never get to find the love of my life and be happily married with kids and a dog named gumdrop. I wouldn't get to grow old and watch my kids become adults and slowly grow grey with the love of my life. This was my end and I had done nothing with my life, nothing I could be remembered for. My tears hissed as they fell down onto the hot floor and my lungs couldn't take any more of the smoke. My world was slowly growing dark in my eyes slowly fading. I could hear loud banging and I'm sure it was just the house ready to fall down and bury me in my home.

"I….found…her." I can hear a muffled voice and it's drowning in and out, the roar of the flames is too loud. The figure is cloaked in black and I'm positive it's the reaper coming to collect my soul. I can barely make out its figure and scythe in both its hands. Walking towards me I can't help but let out a sob of pain, knowing this is where it all ends. The reaper slowly makes it way towards me somehow walking over the fire and putting it out where it stepped. That didn't surprise me at all; after all you can't hurt death itself. It loomed over me and touched my shoulder before kneeling down to me, most likely to give me the kiss of death.

"It's ok, you're gonna be ok." Its muffled voice told me, and I believed it because once you're dead your no longer in pain, and I welcomed that with open arms. I was ready to be put out of my misery ready to go into internal sleep, or perhaps finally find out what is on the other side. I closed my eyes ready to take deaths embrace but I was surprised to find a hard plastic cup being pushed against my face and sweet cool oxygen flowing into my air ways. My eyes snapped open and then for the first time I looked into the reapers eyes to be pleasantly surprised by the beauty and intenseness of the ruby eyes looking down at me. They were filled with worry and compassion and they were all I could see, the rest of the face was hidden by a large mask and helmet. I knew then that this was no angel of death, but my guardian angel of life and I would not die here. I smiled I could feel it tug at my lips before my world faded into darkness, while arms of life carried me to the light.

-MMMMMMMMMMM—

"Quick there she is get the stretcher!" Shouts and cheers were calling my name and I felt proud as I came out of the worst raging inferno I had seen in a long time. It was a miracle I myself was even able to get out let alone the girl in my arms. I carried her out onto the lawn and then down onto a stretcher where the paramedics quickly got to work on her. I watched their hands quickly work to get her comfortable and poke her with needles. I never understood how they did any of that without being squeamish I didn't particularly like needles. I moved my eyes over the young girls frame, and she couldn't have been much younger than me. Her skin was fair other than the soot and small burns covering her body, and her face was peaceful. Her hair was dyed a light pink and somehow suited her. All I could think was that she looked like a bubblegum princess, and she was in fact beautiful.

"Ms. Abadeer, Ms. Abadeer!" the press shouted at me and soon surrounded me. "Please tell us what you think started the fire and tell us about the girl who you saved!" taking off my oxygen mask and wiping my brow I gave a sigh and looked towards the building that I had just been in. It was simple white single person apartment and now was a soggy and charred mess of wood.

"We have already found the cause to be Arson, why someone would burn this girl's house down with her in it is beyond me. The fire department and police are already working together to find the suspect and bring him or her to justice."

"And what about the girl do you have any comments about her." The pressed asked as their cameras flashed and they readily had their pens ready to write down everything I said.

"I just hope she's ok. That is all." And with that I left them and returned to the fire truck to put away my ax and tank. The ambulance drove the girl away and I'm sure that would be the last I saw of her.
