The room fell into silence until a sharp smell cut through the air. Thin smoke seeped through the door crack. “Mom…” Amora gasped. “The house is on fire!” She immediately pulled Jessica back into the room, their bodies pressed close. Flames spread quickly, devouring every corner, igniting the walls until they blazed. “Did you forget to turn off the stove?” Amora’s voice rasped, her nose already stinging with smoke. “No, Amora! I swear I didn’t light anything!” Jessica clutched her daughter tightly.

Locking my gear and using the crossbody strap to keep it on my back, I moved to check the back. “Oh, SHIT! GET DOWN!!” I shouted as I realized why they were quiet. I spotted one with a canister of gasoline pouring it from the foundation backing away from the house. Another was scaling the roof. This is not going to be good. “What’s going on?” Daniela questioned, starting to come to me, but it was too late. The one in the yard lit the fuse, and the flames quickly made their way to the house. At the same time, a grenade was dropped down the chimney exploding in the living room, sending Daniela flying.

Clarice frantically ran through the night. It was pitch black. The only light was coming from the fire that burned her house. The flames rose higher and higher. Her lover was caught inside. She ached all over; her arms and legs were burned badly. Blisters had formed on her feet and yet, she still kept running. She had to get help.

The Explosion — 4:20 PM Diego was halfway across the rice fields when the world tore open. The sound was colossal—a deep, rolling whump that shook the ground. He turned. Smoke poured from the top floor of the Marla house. Black, thick, angry. Flames licked at the windows. Already, workers were running toward the house, shouting. Señor Marla stumbled out the front door, screaming. “¡Mi hija! ¡Hannah!” Diego stood frozen. Not your business. Walk away. You’ve seen worse. You’ve caused worse.

I guess that was meant for my ass. I could only say it was a mixture of embarrassment and amusement. The day was a myriad of unexpected things and when the day ended, I was eager to go home in anticipation of Fern's surprise. I swung the front door open and yelled,"Babe, I'm home." The house was dim and the only light source were the scented candles in various shapes and sizes placed in a glass container placed on a specific area; on the floor, on the table, on the staircase - emphasizing for me to follow to where it was leading to. The rest of the house was dark so it was obvious she didn't want me to go wayward. There were rose petal trails on it as well.

Dante stood absolutely still, hands clenched, jaw tight, staring at her like she was both salvation and ruin. Their eyes locked. The storm inside them didn’t end. It only waited. *** Lucia didn’t sleep when she got home. Not really. She lay in her tiny apartment above the bakery, staring at the ceiling while thunder rolled outside like an echo of the office. Every flash of lightning brought back the look on Dante’s face when she left: A man losing a war he never wanted. Morning came heavy and gray. Her phone buzzed at 6:11 a.m. **Dante:**

As Rufus and other body servants joined them, August mumbled, “We should’ve gone back south to the Legion.” They rounded the corner at the end of the village. Two homes there seethed in flames more than the others. August thought these the residence and adjoining shop of a barrel maker as the skeletons of such objects stood in the flames. The cut timbers of the buildings went up fast in the night. He still saw no people from the village anywhere.

Now, seeing how happy Selena was, Tasilla felt even more resentful! The evening glow bathed the courtyard, creating a serene and beautiful scene. However, everything gradually twisted and became dangerous without anyone noticing. Selena had already finished dinner and washed up, and had gone to bed early. She was easily tired after becoming pregnant. Little did she know that a woman came in from behind, stealthily entered the house and glanced around, a hint of malice flashing in their eyes.
