Amy Rose From Sonic Boom Novels & Stories

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh" The sound that came through the phone instead of a voice was too loud. Too loud to cause an ear problem. It sounded like a moan. Rose had to distance the phone away from her ear, she couldn't bear it! The sound coming from her moan was enough to deafen one's ear.

But the sun and my blurry, stinging eyes kept me from seeing anything. And then the car exploded, causing me to cover my ears and this man’s powerful body sheltered me. The breath of the explosion carried a burnt rose petal at my feet. “Don’t be afraid, son! They've rolled the dice! It just had to be him...”

The violent surge of emotion sent me into another crisis that very night. My breathing grew shallow, my oxygen levels plummeted, and I was on the verge of needing a ventilator. Angela Reign, the head nurse who had cared for me since the beginning, stood by my side with reddened eyes as she administered the medication, gently patting my back to soothe me. "Chloe, hang in there. You have to hold on! Prof. Stenson has already succeeded, hasn't he? I saw the news yesterday—his new drug has made a miracle happen..."

Freya Rose As soon as I heard Sadie and Charlie's car pull away I let my rage take over. I screeched into the air, instantly triggering my ascension. As my wings ripped through the skin on my shoulder blades, I threw my arms upwards and caught the dining table with my fingertips, which sent it crashing into the wall with enormous force. The plates and cups smashed into millions of pieces, sending food and ceramic shards hurtling through the air around me as I burst into my brilliant electrical flames. When I became fully ascended my screeching ceased, only to be instantly replaced by the sound of my weighted breaths. I clenched my fists and then let my arms fall to my sides. I wanted nothing

Astrid roared, her voice a localized earthquake that cut through the deafening thrum-thrum-thrum of the human sonic mines. Beside her, Torin and the remnants of the Silvertooth vanguard were fighting with a desperate, feral energy. But they were losing ground. Every time a sonic mine detonated, a high-frequency shockwave vibrated through the air, scrambling the wolves' internal equilibrium and forcing them to their knees, vomiting blood before they could even shift their weight. Suddenly, a blinding wall of crimson mist exploded across the eastern flank. Astrid’s head snapped up, her nostrils flaring. Cut through the smog and iron was the unmistakable, intoxicating scent of dead winter roses

Something's coming. She hit send. Put the phone down. Looked up. The mirror crack had grown. A web now. Spreading outward like ice. Her reflection blinked again — delayed. This time, Aria didn't blink at all. The flowers shifted gently, as if reacting to the thought she hadn't spoken. The air felt electric. Alive. Not fear. Not quite. Anticipation. The whisper came again. This time, it was clear. One word. Right into her bones. "Bloom."

But the smell; burning fabric, plastic, flesh, hit her like déjà vu. She stumbled back, chest heaving. Not again. From the hallway came a final, echoing scream, and then the unmistakable crackle of fire.

A holographic map of the island bloomed from the floor. "Your first challenge: The Sanguine Ascent," Franco announced, his eyes catching mine through the blue light of the hologram. "Tomorrow at dawn, you climb the Obsidian Ridge. The summit holds a beacon. To claim it is to win the first Sovereignty Credit. But you will wear bio – metric haptic bands. They will broadcast your heart rate, your stress, your fear to everyone else. If you break, they will use it to gut you." Brent scoffed, crossing his arms. "And the reward? Bragging rights?"

How did it get there? Rain stared down at the rose she had found by her bedside the second the woke up. The scent drifting in the air and causing her to smile. It reminded her of her time in the cabin and Rain didn’t realize how much she missed waking up to the comforting scent of roses until this one was brought to her. Rain silently wondered with a smile, would they still let her go back to the cabin or did Alexander plan to have her stay in the mansion permanently?

In the deep forest, Rosa wakeup to the loud sound of flapping birds. Rosa's long ponytail is in mess, some of her hair stuck on her forehead and neck. She was sweating a lot last night and there were some cuts on her face and arms. When she opens her eyes, she saw a lot of colorful birds in front of her. They were small and cute, making Rosa remember her daughter, Damia. Sudden tears fall from her eyes. She misses her daughter. She wonders if Damia is missing her and will have a tantrum with Louis.
