Milo walked up a few steps, placing a hand on Reese's shoulder.

She nodded at him to join the others that were heading toward the driveway,
promising quietly "I'll be right behind you."

And once he moved, she looked at Nick and motioned for him to at least take
a couple of steps back before holding up one hand, heat swirling around it
and building into a ball of fire.  The light from it played across her
features as she looked up.

"Ashes to ashes.." she intoned as she let loose with the first blast, it
exploding into the house with a resounding crash and the spirit of her Aunt
yelling in both rage and horror "Dust to dust."

Another ball of fire and then another, Reese let her anger from the past few
weeks loose with each blast and watched as a chain effect happened.  Soon
the whole place was on fire.  The Aunt's cry was being buried by the sound
of the raging fire.

We better not be here when the fire department shows up... was her last
thought before she passed out from the exertion.
