--- Burning Empire Chapter 1 Matteo’s heart hammered like a drum as he slipped through the crowded streets, clutching the small leather pouch tight beneath his coat.

We sprinted for the front entrance as another electronic chirp echoed somewhere behind the walls. Then everything exploded. The blast threw us through the doorway, heat roaring past like a living thing. Glass shattered. Bricks tore through the air. The entire house folded inward before erupting into flames behind us. I hit the ground hard, ears ringing, lungs refusing to work. Smoke climbed into the sky. The safe house burned so fiercely it looked as though someone had tried to erase it from history itself.

“Okay, okay. I’ll just let you continueplaying chessin your dreams, I guess.” We both laugh as I begin driving again. When we get to my house, I set her on the couch, against her protestations, to unpack the books that’ll go on the living room bookcase Law and Jackson will be bringing over. Then I go into the kitchen to unpack the one heavier box I brought over myself, the pots andpans.

The house is usually occupied only by me and stepmom but now Felix is back. Today the house is quiet. Lizzy, my stepmom went to the mall and Felix left home a lot earlier, making me the only person in the huge house.
