First Burn Lyrics Novels & Stories

Inside, it was choked with dust. "Don't worry, Connor," one of his friends had told him during a conversation Samantha had overheard. "We've already set up the timed incendiary. You just need to lure her in and lock the door from the outside. Once it starts burning, she won't be able to get out. Based on the last fire, wait fifteen minutes, then go in and save her. She won't die—maybe just a few burns. But when she sees you coming through the flames, she'll be so grateful and start crying." Samantha had heard it all. And she was ready to let "Samantha" be buried in this fire for good.

As soon as he's on the ground, she steps on his chest and grabs onto his head, holding it inches from the burning fire. "Did ya miss me?!" She grins, seething with rage. "What the hell are you doing here?! Who let you in??" He cries. She smiles, "We got a little creative..." I hear footsteps behind me. I pull my gun and turn around, but it is just Bruno, Leon, and Ishir. They all gather around us. His frightened eyes beam down Ishir. "Ishir?!! What are you-" She shakes his head closer to the fire.

He moved before he could think, charging straight toward the flames. However, two of his men grabbed him. "Don Russo, you can't go in there! The fire's not out yet!" But he shoved them aside, his eyes wild with fury. "Useless bastards! If you won't save Arianna, then I will!"

“So you burn with what you loved.” When I opened my eyes, I was back on the floor of our burning den. This time, I pressed wet moss to my muzzle and dialed the public emergency channel. Let him choose her again. But in front of everyone. The roof beam fell at minute three. Wood cracked across my shoulder—bone snapped, I screamed, smoke swallowed the sound. Another beam caught my thighs. Blood pooled fast, soaking the nest I’d built for her. My daughter—still safe in my womb, five months along—kicked once, weak, then went still.

I started “I have powers, and I can light fires. I haven’t learned how to control it yet.” For a while Ben just started blankly at me. I am not sure if he believed me or thought I was a nut case. “Really?” He said finally. He was hard to read. “Yes, it’s why I am out here.” I continued “I am dangerous, and I have to stay away from others.” “You don’t look very dangerous to me” he said. “Well, that fire was caused by me and that was dangerous” I said, “do you believe me?”

I moan into his mouth, I let the quilt around my waist fall. I had put on my jeans earlier but it wouldn't pose any resistance to this.

“I HAVE THEM! I HAVE THEM!” The voice isn’t familiar. It grates through me, however, igniting a sharp pain in my back that threatens to split my spine. Suddenly, the light is too much. The pain ebbs before exploding with heat. Searing, blistering heat. The smell of scorched meat. My skin.
