With a final flourish, she extinguished the flames, leaving only a faint wisp of smoke in their wake. Elara, the newcomer with the Celestial Flames, stepped forward next. Her presence commanded attention, and her eyes burned with a fierce intensity. "My power is the Celestial Flames," she said, her voice ringing with authority. "These flames are imbued with celestial energy, capable of healing and destruction."

The flames lick at our skin, but we push through, our determination fueling us. As we move forward, the flames shift and dance in intricate patterns, seemingly guiding our path. I can feel the energy of the fire coursing through my veins, merging with my own inner fire. I summon my strength and focus my mind, channeling my resilience to withstand the intense heat. Jericho follows suit, his eyes lock on me as we move together through the blazing inferno. He draws upon his own courage, letting it burn bright within him.

I cross my arms over my chest. “Not happening.” I’m not going to tell her that a conversation like that is going to last way more than fifteen minutes. “He’s famous, Isabella.” “Is he?” I ask. “Don’t be an ass. You know him. Black Flame. The band.” I pretend to be nonplussed. Amina gapes at me. “You know them.” I shake my head. “Come on! ‘Hold My Hand’? ‘Freak and Fire’? ‘Jumper Judy’?”

“Stay with me, stay with me, please !” He thrashes, fangs snapping inches from my face . “Make it stop… Ella , please...., make it stop…” “No!” I cry, leaning my whole weight into him . “You don’t get to leave me , You hear me? You don’t get to leave !” The fire climbs higher , wrapping around us like living sunlight, pulling something raw and huge out of my chest and shoving it straight into him . “Feel me,” I whisper against his ear, tears dripping onto his cheek . “Feel that I’m still here . That I’m scared out of my mind but I’m not running. That I’m choosing you every single second .”

“We’re lost.” Dax’s arms tightened around Flame protective, worried.“Flame’s light is dimming. The vial is holding, but she’s tired. She’s scared, Kael. She needs rest, but we can’t stop here.”Flame stirred silver violet eyes opening tiny whimper escaping.Dax rocked her gently voice soft, soothing.“Shh, little flame. We’re okay. We’re together.”I knelt beside them hand on Flame’s back green vine curling weakly around my finger.“She’s trembling,” I whispered throat tight. “She knows something’s wrong.”Dax looked at me storm gray eyes full of fear and determination.“We can’t go back.
