Catching Fire Haymitch Quarter Quell Chapter Novels & Stories

she shook her head and suddenly stopped at the thought, "You're just Scarlet." "Whatever, Haymitch." Maybe it was before he heard why he was so shocked by what he heard. He even moaned when his wound was hit. "You just called my name," it obviously said, "And you didn't disobey me. Damn, that's so sexy." I was just shaken by what he said. "What really happened to you, Haymitch? Why did you get blown up?" I know there is already a document of his confession regarding this but will I still read it if I can hear from him.

Eventually the pain receded completely leaving only a slight ache and I wiggled against him, testing the feeling and wincing slightly at the slight sting but the groan that left Tristan’s lips had me wanting to do it again and again. Steeling myself against the sting I knew I would feel I wiggled again but this time the pain was less, so I tried it again. “Cali, you’re killing me here baby.” Tristan uttered through clenched teeth, and now it was my turn to smile, the knowledge that I was driving him this crazy was oddly satisfying. “I need to move, I’ll be careful, okay?” He asked his expression full of love as he continued stroking my face, and it was then that I noticed the ice on his fing

"The only way to stop the fire is to pull those levers—but we’ll have to go through the flames to reach them." I hesitated for only a second. Then I nodded. "We have no choice." Without another word, we moved. The heat was unbearable, and the flames licked at my legs, but I forced myself forward. The smell of burning fabric filled the air, but I reached the lever, grasping it with all the strength I had left. As I pulled, the fire died down, replaced by a cool breeze that swept through the chamber. Sophia, on the opposite side, had pulled her lever as well. Her face was slick with sweat, but there was a triumph in her eyes.

I took them out and let out a deep sigh as I struck the flint. It sparked and went off again. I tried again, harder. “Come on,” I muttered, tightening my grip. “You have to work.” Spark! The flame caught. The flame-burning grass didn’t waste time, the fire raced over the dried strands quickly. I stepped back as the crackle grew louder, and within seconds, the haystack had turned into a pillar of fire. Light flooded the field and suddenly, the treeline across from me wasn’t quiet at all. “Shit!” a voice yelped, sharp and startled.

The fire receded like a tide, leaving the council chamber scorched and trembling in its wake. Smoke curled along the stone floor, curling around the boots of trembling councilors who dared not meet my eyes. My chest heaved, every breath dragging against the searing weight of the shard, its rhythm still hammering against my ribs with merciless intent. It had not finished with me. No, the shard had only begun, and its hunger pressed deeper, whispering that the choice it demanded could not be postponed much longer.

the partner pack cried in panic, and the conference room dissolved into chaos. Hailey took one breath of the smoke and folded into a violent fit of coughing. Her legs gave out and she dropped to the floor, clutching at Cassian's trouser leg, and screamed in a frenzy. "Fire! Cassian, I'm so scared! I don't have the strength, save me!" The smoke stung my eyes, and that burnt smell yanked me straight back into the nightmare of the year I was eight. The firelight in the cabin, the burning beam crashing down, the skin searing off my back.

[RHIANNON] Kael's arms felt like the only real thing in the world. I came back to myself slowly—lungs burning, throat raw from screaming, body shaking despite the warmth of him wrapped around me. The vision had faded, but emotions clung like smoke, refusing to dissipate. Fire. So much fire consuming everything. The ceremonial grounds engulfed in flames, warriors burning alive, their screams echoing through pack bonds until the sound became unbearable. Kael reaching for me through the inferno, his hand turning to ash before our fingers could touch.

Another memory struck me. A hallway. Someone running. Someone screaming. Smoke filling the air. I covered my mouth. “No.” Kael immediately moved closer. “What is it?” “Fire.” My breathing became uneven. “There was fire everywhere.” “Nyra, look at me.” “I can't.” “Look at me.” I forced myself to meet his eyes. “You're here.” His voice was calm. “You're in Moonfall.” I nodded slowly. “You're safe.” “I don't feel safe.” “I know.”

After throwing up, Elaine took a sip of water to freshen her mouth. She was still weak, barely on her feet, when a man suddenly appeared behind her. He grabbed her arm fiercely and slammed her against the wall. Her back pressed against the icy surface, sending a shiver down her spine. Then, the chilling click of the door locking echoed in the room. Jasper's hand was around her throat, his eyes ablaze with hatred so intense it was terrifying. His voice was sharp as steel when he interrogated her. "Are you pregnant?" Elaine could only stare at the hand clenching her neck, making it difficult to breathe.

Aazim who was taken unawares also crashed down to the floor and crawled under a chair only big enough to cover his head and shoulders. "Go! Go! Go!" Was what Mariam heard and she dared to turn her head towards the exit. She could see armed uniformed men entering the courtyard from the hallway and the front entrance. She recognized them as the military and a wave of relief flooded her heart. The sound of many guns firing off at the same time was deafening and she pressed her hands to her ears and shut her eyes as fear quickly and suddenly crept into her so she reached out for Saadiya who at first flinched at her touch but looked up to see Mariam's have searching for hers and trying to hold on
