Her wounds healed instantly before she caught me and hugged my body so close to her. “I promise I’ll never let you go.” She whispered as my eyes closed. Mom. Rogue The moment I had my son in my arms I could sense everyone in the house moving to my direction in search of the powerful energy they felt. I didn’t hold back this time, having something more valuable to me than the key as I casted a fire spell in the living and casting another spell to flood the way with scorpions. I didn’t spend much time in the building, leaving quickly as I smiled when I saw the house from a distance burning aggressively as I enjoyed the view.

She slowly shook her head "She left because she knew what you would turn your baby into" He stood "What the fuck are you talking about?" "I know you hurt her....." "You know nothing you little piece of shit!" He snapped "What do you know about watching fire burn down everything you've ever had? I was alone. Everything I ever was prepared for, gone. I trained, every fucking day, still got fucking nightmares about it and one day, all of it, I lose it and you're telling me you know what? You know nothing!" She winced, feeling the words pinch her as she said "We... We aren't talking about that. Let's talk about Briar"

"I lost my unit in the first few days after The Burning, " Ben said, his voice barely above a whisper. I looked up at him, surprised. He never talked about his past. Not ever. "We were stationed near the coast when the first fires hit. Everything went to hell so fast. One minute we were evacuating civilians, the next..."

Mom sighed and said, "Gladys, we've never worried too much about you because you know where to draw the line, and you haven't let it affect your studies so far. It's just that your dad and I still think that you shouldn't start dating until you go to college. Your studies now are way more important." Dad nodded and said, "Alright. Since there's no other hanky-panky involved, we'll let the police do their job. Next time, just be more careful whatever you do. Understand?" I secretly heaved a sigh of relief after my parents finally left. The rumors got more and more aggressive. My parents then forbade me from going out and even confiscated my phone. I hadn't been able to talk to Austin for days

A child no one apparently knew about and a child that could be lethal and dangerous. I think back to the day I waited in Isabella's apartment, her home smelling of her usual cherry shampoo that was imprinted in my nostrils, her place of the home which had no photos and nothing to show that she was treating it like a home but the mere thought of her coming back to live with me makes me feel giddy.

Although this graduation painting had not yet been completed, it was far superior to any of my previous works. The moment Willow saw the painting, her expression subtly shifted. I caught the flicker of greed and jealousy in her eyes. I looked around the room. In the next moment, I did something that left everyone completely flabbergasted. I pulled out a lighter and flicked it. Then, I brought the flame close to one corner of the canvas. "Cassidy! What are you doing?" Jess shouted sharply almost immediately. Needless to say, she was the first to react. The flame licked at the edge of the canvas and spread quickly. My masterpiece, the product of my passion and skill, burned down to ash before

I asked. “Most immortals can’t be killed by fire. It takes intense heat, like lava, to kill one, but fire still hurts like hell for the bulk of immortals. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get some things done. If there are any other issues tonight, just let myself or Ash know, and it will be handled.” Taking the hint, I allowed myself to be dismissed and walked out of his office and back out into the club to finish my shift.

As the little bell on top of the door rang out a sweet tune, both Lani and Blake twisted around expecting another package but were instead faced with Jax' angered face. "Jax? What's wrong?" Lani asked. "The feds, they're here." "What?" Blake said with his face etched in confusion, "What'd they want now?" "They're here to snoop around, they know about the fire and they want to know what happened," Jax spoke in a bored tone. "What? The fire that happened nearly a month ago? I call bullshit," Blake laughed as he placed more paint in Lani's hair. She giggled shortly before returning her attention back to Jax, "He's right, there's nothing to investigate," Lani added.

we watched a couple of episodes of Naruto before passing out. ====================== “According to reports from reporters on the scene the CFD continues to try to contain the fire. A five-alarm fire at a warehouse on Noble Street. According to witnesses and reporters, two firefighters are injured from Station 19. They are being transported to the nearest hospital for treatment” I look up in shock when I hear the news I look up at the screen. That’s our station. I’m sure Beck was at that fire.
