Hunter Burn Novels & Stories

Every part of me hurt, and it felt like I was swaying on a boat at sea. Urgent shouts rang in my ears. "Sir, hang on! The hospital's just ahead!" Hearing that, I struggled to open my eyes. The paramedic was a young lady. Seeing my bloodied face made her panic, but all she could do was comfort me. "Sir, we'll reach the hospital after we pass the outdoor banquet that the Brewer family is hosting. Hang in there!"

For a heartbeat, Hunter simply stared at the dark screen of his phone, unable to think. Then he grabbed his jacket and practically ran out of the bar, with Cassey right behind him. “What happened?” she asked as they reached his car. “Is everything okay?” “Nothing is okay,” Hunter said, panting as he got into the driver’s seat. “The mansion caught fire.” “What?” Cassey gasped, but she didn’t waste a second before climbing into the passenger seat. “How did it happen, Hunter? Everything seemed fine when we left.” “I don’t know,” Hunter muttered through gritted teeth as he shoved the key into the ignition. “They said there was an explosion.”

Hot enough to set paper aflame. He left scorching, smoking footprints on the floor with every step. Lily and Kael both took a step back. 【WARNING: S-Rank Boss, ‘The Ashen Revenant,’ has appeared. He was burned alive in a fire. He hates all living things. His ‘Flames of Retribution’ can burn even the soul to ash.】 But I smelled nothing. Felt no heat. To me, he just looked like some poor chimney sweep after a very, very bad day.

Hunter muttered. --- At the scene, black smoke billowed into the sky. The fire was consuming logistics worth billions. Firefighters struggled to contain the flames, but the damage was already severe. Hunter stood behind the police line, his jaw clenched. Evalina stood beside him, clutching his suit sleeve. “It’s her... isn’t it?” Hunter gave a slow nod. “She may be in prison, but her influence isn’t dead.” An arson investigator approached them. “Mr. Jackson, we found remnants of an automatic ignition device. This wasn’t an electrical fault. It was sabotage.”

Aven's words were law. “But Hilary needs me to save her. Please, Sir. I know she is out there.” Burns rushed to the desk's edge, the panic in his eyes revealing. He wasn’t in this for the Goddess or the pack that had been wiped out. His sole interest was a love interest, a romantic obsession he refused to let go of.

Once out Leneve snaps her fingers and the building is engulfed in flames. The four of us stand back and watch as the bunker begins to burn to the ground. Flames lick high causing black smoke to billow from the roof. Behind me, I can hear a commotion and a rush of shifters heading our way. “Water! We need water!” I hear the familiar voice of Travis barking orders to his warriors. They could get as much water as they could find and bring in all the hoses MacTire had but it wouldn’t help. The walkers were dead and their bodies were burning.

“Yes, ma’am. Dr. Bukhari and his wife suffered mild smoke inhalation, but their son Hank . . . ” The officer trailed off, leaving Sue in excruciating suspense. She felt herself trembling, her entire body quaking as if in the grips of a severe chill. “What . . . is he . . . how bad is it?” “He has third degree burns all down the right side of his body.” “The fire started in the detached garage,” Sanchez continued. “But it was a windy night. Fire jumped over to the back corner of the house. Right where Hank Bukhari’s bedroom is.”

The extinguisher had been released inside the building but Scorpion had set off another outside it. The flames burned deep red and amber, almost livid purple as the assassin saw various firefighters- humans and robots, trying to put out the fire. Nothing inside was likely to survive the fire, Scorpion thought. The flames licked up in the air with the wind, trying to catch something else on fire, and finding nothing but air. It disappeared into the windy night, like disappointed flutters. As he ran the palm of his hand around the three day growth of his chin, he traced the ridge of an old scar. The memory of its origin caused him to wince. He quickly buried the thought and turned to the job i

Alpha Connor was devastated to see the whole island in nothing but flames. Different helicopters that had water to put off the vast fire sprayed water and despite everything they did, the fire kept getting larger and larger. Dead bodies were brought out of the fire and the grotesque scene before Connor caused him to boil as he clenched his fist by his side. Gritting his teeth, Connor swallowed the lump that thickened beneath his throat as he ran his hands through his hair. He stared at the scene happening before him and the more he stared, the more it still looked unreal on his face like he was in a trance.

Watching the police car drive away, I collapsed to the ground. I felt completely drained. After experiencing the same tragedy in both lives, I was at my limit physically and mentally. Michael helped me into the passenger seat of the car and started the engine. As I watched the scenery pass me by outside the window, I couldn't stop crying. Jared hadn't always been like this. I couldn't believe that a person could change so much in just a few years. Years ago, when my house caught fire, I was surrounded by flames. Just as I was at the brink of despair, Jared rushed through the fire like a hero and saved me.
