Ashes Ashes All Fall Down Novels & Stories

Not the full version. I glanced at Dominic. His usual sarcasm was gone. He looked grim as if he already knew he wouldn’t like what I had to say. I swallowed, then nodded. "I fell," I began. "From the sky. And it hurt—not just the fall, but everything. The pain was everywhere like it lived in my bones. At first, I thought it was just a dream, but then the snow started falling. It was beautiful, soft... until I realized it was mixed with ash."

Try me with your best weapon, Break me with your strongest blow, Stab me with your sharpest knife, Make me bleed till you heart enraptures. Keep repeating till you leave nothing of me Till I am brought down to ashes. But when you stop, When your hands worn out, When your happiness reaches the seventh cloud. Then will I play my Ace. Then will be my time to rise. To rise from my own ashes. Then will be my time to bring you as down as high you went.

Its body dissolved completely, nothing left but the faint curl of smoke drifting away into nothingness. Ashton fell to his knees, his blood dripping onto the ground, staining the dirt. His chest heaved, his eyes wild, his lips trembling. “No… no, come back… come back to me…” he whispered, over and over, like a prayer he knew would never be answered. I stared at him, my body shaking so violently that Alice had to hold me up. My throat tightened, the words barely making it past my lips. “It’s gone… it’s really gone…”

The door suddenly closed and she pushed me to the big hole and in an instant, I fell. I fall and fall like there is no end. “Aaaahh!!!” I shouted because of the never-ending fall. I saw her watching me fall with her cold eyes and emotionless face. I keep on falling like I was falling from a very tall building. The pressure is pulling me down. I don’t know where my falling ends but this is better than getting stuck in a place full of agony and hatred. I keep on falling and falling and falling…

The chain is broken. Then Ashlyn cries out as she falls on the floor. Her long nails scrape at her neck as she goes, leaving a big mark.

"To every woman who was told she was too emotional, too soft, too ambitious. To every person who lost everything and had to start again. This is your reminder that we rise. And we rise stronger." That night, Natalie sat on the balcony of her penthouse, watching the stars return to a sky once clouded by doubt. Lila joined her with two glasses of wine. "You know," Lila said, handing her a glass, "I always believed you’d come back. But I never expected this." "Neither did I," Natalie admitted. "But maybe sometimes we have to be burned down to remember what we’re made of." Lila raised her glass. "To rising from the ashes."

Natasha glared at him, hissing, "Shut up, would you!" She gracefully approached Andrew and sighed, "Darling, you'd better go comfort her! She's a woman in love! If she doesn't get a response, it could cause serious problems!" Andrew's mouth twitched. "Fallen in love? Who? You can't possibly mean Aspen, right? If that's true, congratulations to her for finally finding someone!" Natasha snorted, "Stop pretending you don't understand when you clearly do! You know better than anyone who caused Aspen to fall in love!"

The frost-field collapses into silver light— —and I’m back in the church. I gasp, nearly falling. Lucien catches me instantly. “I’ve got you,” he says, urgent. “I’ve got you.” My heart races. My skin hums. Ruby leans in. “What did it say?” I look at them—all of them. At the cracks in the altar.At the shattered wards.At the snow falling gently outside, like it’s pretending nothing changed. “It said,” I whisper, “that everyone’s coming.” Gideon closes his eyes. “Then Winterthorne won’t survive another night like this.”

There was a loud crash, which scared everyone there. My ashes scattered everywhere. Jasper still felt angry. He laughed disdainfully and stepped on my ashes, grinding them with the sole of his shoe. The staff members' jaws had dropped in shock. They hadn't even had time to stop him. Jasper kicked my ashes and sent them flying. "Tell Amara that she came up with a very innovative trick this time round, but it's lame. I'm not going to waver at all, no matter whether she's dead or alive!

I thought as my hands fading caught my attention. “Paisley, you will have the best life. Know I am with you in spirit always,” Asher professed and moved closer as if his ghost like frame could hug me, but with one shove, I flew backward and all the surfaces I once stood on were no longer holding me there. “ASHER!” I screamed as I slipped through the clouds, falling back toward earth. How was it he couldn’t touch me before but could shove me off the cloud? What the hell was going on? First, I was dead now I’m falling to my death again? I scrunched my eyes shut just as I was going to hit the ground, but instead of a splat, I jolted awake gasping for air.
