Ember Falls Audiobook 소설 & 이야기

She loved soothing his soft fur and how it felt under her touch. “Hopefully, they return tonight. I miss him so much.” The ride to the office was not all quiet, and soon they arrived. The news of the fall of Berries Entertainment was all over the place. Williams Empire had made sure to announce they no longer had connections with them, but the board was yet to be convinced. Emilia walked in, and Audrey Philips was there with a few files, ready to lead the way toward the direction of the board meeting.

' Listen. Umber has her head buried in a book. My eyes zero in on the beating pulse in her neck. Gradually, I pick up on the slight noises circulating the library, the rustle of clothes, the crisp flipping of pages, the occasional distracted mumble. Suddenly they all combine to form an increasingly loud din the more I struggle to concentrate. Rustle, flip, mumble. Rustle flip mumble. Rustleflipmumble. RUSTLEFLIPMU-- Snapped fingers. "Gwen, are you okay?"

Emelia closed her eyes while remembering the past. Flashback “I am so sorry, lady.” A baritone voice came across Emelia’s ears while she picks up her books that was scattered all over the floor. “Next time, watch where you’re going.” She irritably said as soon as she stands up. However, she was taken aback when she looked up to see the man standing in front of her. He was handing the books to her with a shy smile. The man was tall and the most noticeable about him was his emerald eyes. When you look at them, you would feel like there was a force that’s pulling you towards them. Like there was an invisible magnet that would keep you from looking away.

“That’s impossible! He didn’t even take his phone with him…” She was right. They had taken my phone before we left, but the housemaid couldn’t bear it and secretly returned it to me. I had planned to record the route, thinking maybe one day I could find my way back. Hence, when I was taken, the phone was still in my chest pocket. That was how this footage was captured. After seeing it, Ralph crawled to Agnes’s feet, crying. “Jacob is doing great overseas right now! This has to be AI! Agnes, don’t believe it!”

I looked down at my plate fast but then I felt his foot nudge mine under the table just enough to make me jump. Darcy giggled. “You okay? You’re so jumpy today.” “Yeah,” I mumbled, staring at my toast. “Didn’t sleep well.” Emily finally looked over. Her voice was calm but there was an edge to it. “Me neither. I thought I heard something outside around one. Like footsteps. On the dock maybe.” My whole stomach twisted into a knot. Darcy laughed it off quickly. “Probably just a racoon. This place is crawling with them at night.”

A high-pitched voice, which definitely belonged to one of those hypocrite ladies, who would do anything to warm up to my dad and maybe get in his pants, called after me. My steps faltered and I turned around to the sound of the voice, plastering a smile that never reached my eyes. “Yes. I’m Ava.” My voice sounded almost hypocritical like hers, except I wasn’t a mastermind in games like that. “Wow, it’s pleasant meeting you.” The lady flashed me a smile. The cherry red lipstick on her lips was excessive, it almost hurt to look at. “Same here.” I flashed her another smile, one which matched her energy.

And dusk came early to Emberfall. Not as night. As an omen.

The pull. Aelin especially. As they got closer to Emberfall, her heart burned with a strong flame. On the seventh day, the ground changed into sharp black rocks. The trees looked weak with branches like bony fingers. The wind carried whispers that sounded like promises and threats at the same time. Emberfall appeared before them, filled with broken fire-temples and fallen towers. Once a sanctuary of the Flame, now a haunted graveyard of broken memories. And at its heart— A gate. Tall. Featureless. Flickering between solid and shadow. Runes danced across its surface, unreadable even to Maelor’s teachings.

Vicky spat. “ It's annoying just looking at them!” Grace took her seat and hissed. “ It's okay, don't let it get to you!” Sonia whispered. “ I guess she's head over heels already!” Grace spat. Lena stood there still wondering what was happening, she couldn't hear everything because she had Airpods on and now being choosed by Jayden felt weird. She turned to Mrs Tom and was about whispering to her but Mrs Tom took another step aside. Obviously avoiding Lena.

“From the one who took command after their leader fell. They say it's from the High Seat.” ⚪️⚪️⚫️⚫️⚪️⚪️⚫️⚫️⚪️⚪️⚫️⚫️⚪️⚪️⚫️⚫️ EMMELINE ♠️✨️🦸‍♀️✨️♠️ I froze. My blood turned icey cold in my veins. The warmth from Darius’s body, the peaceful weight of my son sleeping nearby—it all vanished, replaced by a single, paralyzing thought: 'It’s not over.'
