The Fire That Chose Me Chapter Twenty
They walked in silence for a long time.Not the kind of silence that felt empty — but the kind that meant everything had changed, and neither of them knew how to say it out loud. Evelynn’s fingers were still wrapped around Aiden’s, and his thumb brushed over the mark on her wrist in slow, rhythmic circles. It was the only thing anchoring her.The vial was gone. Whatever power had been inside it was now a part of her.And she could feel it.Not burning — not anymore — but pulsing. Like a second heartbeat, tucked somewhere beneath her skin.“Aiden,” she said softly, “that creature… it looked at me like it knew me.”“It probably did.”“But how? I’ve never seen anything like that in my life.”“Not this life,” he said gently.Evelynn stopped walking. She turned toward him. “You keep saying things like that. Like I’m older than I think. Like I’ve done all this before.”“You have,” he said.Her breath caught.“Not in this body, not in this town. But your soul — your fire — it’s ancient. You

The storm that had been threatening all day finally broke over Ravenwood by nightfall. Rain hammered the roof in wild, uneven bursts, as though the sky itself had lost patience. Evelynn sat by the window, knees drawn to her chest, watching the glass bead and blur. Every drop seemed to echo the pulse in her veins—too fast, too sharp, too alive.She could still feel Aiden’s presence, even though he hadn’t spoken for minutes. He stood on the other side of the room, leaning against the wall with his arms folded, watching her the way he always did. Quiet. Intense. Like he was memorizing her just in case she disappeared.It was that look that broke her.“You can’t keep staring at me like that,” she whispered, pressing her forehead to the cool pane of glass.“Like what?” His voice was soft, but she heard the thread of danger in it—the kind that came not from threat, but from wanting.“Like I’m the only thing in the world holding you together.”The silence after was heavier than thunder. Evel

The forest was quiet as they walked.Not peaceful. Not safe.Just quiet like the world was holding its breath, waiting for something to break.Evelynn kept close to Aiden’s side, their hands brushing now and then as they moved through the tall trees. The sky above was a pale blue bruised with silver, morning light filtering in through the leaves. Every sound felt louder the crack of a branch, the rustle of wind, even her own breath.“I don’t think I’ve ever seen it this still,” she whispered.“It’s the fire,” Aiden replied, low. “It woke something. And everything else is listening.”They reached the edge of a ridge, overlooking the town below — Ravenwood, quiet and distant, nestled in its little pocket of mountain and mist. She could see the rooftop of her house, the road winding toward school, the grocery store where her mom used to buy candles on Sundays.It felt like another life.“Do you miss it?” Aiden asked suddenly.She blinked. “What?”“Before all of this. The quiet. The norm

The tunnel was darker than Evelynn remembered.She followed Aiden through the narrow stone passage beneath the cabin, their footsteps echoing off the damp walls. The torch in his hand cast long shadows that danced like spirits ahead of them, flickering over moss and ancient carvings etched into the rock.Her fingers curled tightly around his.Not just out of fear — though it was there, coiled like a snake in her chest — but out of something deeper. A trust she didn’t fully understand, but couldn’t seem to let go of.“They’re close,” Aiden said quietly, glancing back at her. “Stay quiet. Stay near me.”She nodded, heart hammering.Behind them, somewhere above, the floorboards had groaned. Whoever they were… they were already inside.The mark on Evelynn’s wrist burned hotter with every step.It wasn’t painful, not exactly. It was like a heartbeat — pulsing with energy. With knowing. It seemed to pull her forward, down the tunnel, like it wanted something. Like it was leading her.Aiden
The Fire That Chose Me Chapter Sixteen
The next morning, Evelynn woke before the sun.For a moment, she forgot where she was — until the scent of pine and old books filled her nose. The room Aiden had brought her to was tucked into the top floor of what looked like an abandoned cabin, hidden somewhere deep in the woods. Quiet. Secluded. Safe.But nothing inside her felt safe.Her limbs ached with the memory of fire. Her thoughts spun like leaves caught in a storm.She swung her legs off the bed, her bare feet touching the cold wood floor. A shirt of Aiden’s hung loosely on her frame, soft and worn and smelling faintly of him — like cedar smoke and night air.She didn’t even realize she was crying until a tear splashed onto her hand.“Get it together,” she whispered, wiping her face.The fire had changed her. That was undeniable. Her senses were sharper. Her skin still hummed with something unnatural. She could feel the energy of the forest outside — birds waking, dew settling, something dark shifting far beyond the trees.

The door slammed open with a force that shook the walls.Evelynn gasped as a freezing wind poured in, blowing out the candles and tossing papers into the air like frightened birds. Aiden stood tall in front of her, blade in hand, his shoulders tense, muscles coiled like a spring ready to snap.But what stepped inside was not human.It was tall—its limbs too long, its face wrapped in shadow. Its skin, if it had any, shimmered like oil in the firelight, and its eyes—two burning coals set into a face that didn’t belong to this world—locked straight onto her.She felt it in her chest, like someone had reached into her and squeezed.Aiden didn’t flinch. “Get out,” he growled.The creature didn’t answer with words. It tilted its head slowly, like it was listening to something only it could hear, and then it stepped forward. One foot over the threshold.Aiden moved.It happened in a blink—the blade flashing, a snarl tearing from his throat—but the creature was faster than anything Evelynn ha
