Burning Sand 2 Novels & Stories

Instead of going home she decided to go to a bar and drink all her sorrows away. At the club, She completely lost all composure. She took one shot of tequila after another as the thought of her selfish father popped up. She felt so much remorse and hate. She continued to take more shots as she nodded her head following the beat of the music playing in the background. She got very drunk such that she couldn't do anything other than lay her head down on the table "Ms Benson, are you alright", asked Ashley as she rushed to check if Joy was ok.

I swallowed as my eyes went up. It roared at my presence. Sharp sand molded teeth were exposed. A few more grains of sand spilled at the sharp cry. The sand-made beast clawed at me. I quickly summoned a sand shield. The two molded things collided. I kicked to my feet and ran. My chest burned but I couldn’t look back. I swore one of these days this man was going to fucking kill me. I skidded to a halt at the sighting of another monster. Unlike the one behind me, this was made of ice.

Elian held his gaze for a moment — the grey-green eyes doing that thing again, that translation — and then he turned back to the window. "How far to Budapest?" he asked. "Two hours." "I need to contact someone. My handler. To let them know I'm still alive." "Not yet," Dante said. "Not until we know the channel is clean." "What does clean mean to you? Specifically." "No Meridian intercepts on the line. No tracking signature on the device. No location stamp." Dante glanced at him. "Your current burner — how old is it?" "Eleven days." "Dispose of it. I have clean hardware in the bag behind your seat."

As the music hit its peak, she jumped along, her enthusiasm infectious. The energy of the moment was undeniable, and I could not help but get caught up in the excitement. The sudden intensity hit me so hard that I felt my body react before I could think. I felt like I got my money's worth, being part of that unforgettable experience. She was the kind of beauty money could not buy. The scene turned raw and desperate, the air charged with something dangerous. The thrill of something forbidden, with so many people so close, sent a rush of heat through me.

The desert answered with a roar, its silence splitting apart as the dunes convulsed and rose like awakening beasts. The sand began to move. First in ripples, then in rivers, then in tidal waves of gold and grit that bled fury. Each grain seemed alive, possessed by her will. The earth heaved, birthing colossal serpents of sand that twisted skyward with a hiss like shattering glass. Their bodies glistened with sunfire, they coiled around the dragons that opposed her, grinding their scales to dust.

she whispered. “You’ll get your own cut, babe,” Rumero said, grabbing her waist. “I promised you that YSL purse, right? And those Versace heels you saw on I*******m? Once Natasha sends the next batch of money, I’ll get you the full designer combo as soon as the money drops.” Tamara leaned down, brushing her lips against his. “You better. Or I might just scam you instead.” Rumero laughed. “We both know you wouldn’t dare.”

But no longer this time. She reached for Ethan’s arm. “We can not combat them. We should ” The bald man moved first, lunging at Ethan with surprising speed. Ethan dodged the primary punch, but the 2nd landed rectangular in his ribs. He grunted, stumbling lower back. Jenny’s scream stuck in her throat as the second man grabbed her. “Let me pass!” she shouted, suffering towards his grip. “Enough,” a cold voice stated. The combat stopped instantly. Jenny froze.

Was this how I would die? Tristan would think it was deliberate. He would think I was so angry that I burned down his house. The thought of Tristan's misunderstanding hurt almost as much as the fire's heat. I prayed desperately, "Why would the door jam at a crucial moment?" My body felt weak, my mind dizzy. Something wasn't right, but I couldn't tell what it was. The smoke was disorienting, making it hard to think or breathe. I tried to link Tristan, but my wolf was docile.

I look again at the faces around me, "we never forget." I take two steps and grab a lit torch from the sand. I place the torch to the wood beneath Boot's body.
