The Night Ends With Fire Sequel Novels & Stories

Chapter 31 - Everlasting Fire The hours of the night ticked by slowly. I couldn’t get his words out of my head. ‘I feel nothing for you. You were just a piece to a game I am no longer interested in playing.’ Lies, that’s what his eyes told me. All he was speaking were lies, trying to push me away. I stared up at the night sky until the black of night mixed with the oranges of the morning sun.

“Then we burn it.” She looked at him sharply, disbelief flashing through exhaustion. “You mean the Hollow?” “No,” he said quietly. “Everything. The old order. The pacts. The chains.” His gaze flicked toward the horizon where the moon—shattered by the eclipse—hung dim and broken. “We end it the same way it began: with fire.”

The land itself groaned beneath their feet. The rift pulsed like a heart, veins of black light spiderwebbing out into the soil. “Hold formation,” Kieran barked. Elizabeth stepped forward, her golden aura flaring. Solbrand gleamed, hungry for battle. And then, Something stepped through. Tall. Slender. A silhouette of thorns and starlight. Its voice boomed in their minds. “She burns with the Flame of the End. She must be unmade.” Kieran didn’t wait.

Adrian listened and felt something inside him give way. He remembered telling Mira once that the bridge was too sentimental. He remembered the way she had gone quiet, then smiled as if the comment had not hurt. He remembered all the little silences he had mistaken for agreement, all the times she had swallowed pain because there was a show the next day, a meeting the next morning, another crisis waiting for her hands. When the last firework fades, promise me you'll still look at the sky. The line filled the hall in Mira's voice.

And this time, nothing not fire, not betrayal, not the world collapsing around them could stand between Savannah and Jackson Sterling ever again. THE END.

Elena *****Nightfall — Camp Beyond the Ruins***** The fires were smaller tonight. Controlled. No screams. No collapsing towers. Just the quiet crackle of flames and the low murmur of warriors setting camp among ash and broken stone. The twins were finally asleep, wrapped in cloaks too big for them, their breaths even against my chest. Finn had one fist tangled in my shirt. Fia’s fingers twitched now and then, like she was dreaming of something she couldn’t escape.

It wasn’t nostalgia that filled the air, it was reclamation and a silent vow that whatever came next, this ground would stay belonging to them. Raven reached into her coat and pulled out a lighter. The small flame caught the edge of a fallen curtain, igniting slowly, deliberately. Jaxon watched, no protest, no question. Just a steady, measured breath. “You’re burning it?” She nodded. “Every ghost, every lie that started here. It ends tonight.” The fire spread, devouring fabric and memory alike. Smoke rose, curling up toward the ceiling where the gold trim blackened and peeled. The heat licked across the walls, casting their faces in restless light.

I only stop the stream of fire when Ember tries to blast me with hers. “Do it, Kenna,” she says, asking me to kill her. “Gladly,” I snarl, sending another concussion bomb of fire and hatred at her and Merellien. She screams falling to the earth as Merellien burns alive on her back. Then, I turn my attention to Nylion who thought it would be a good idea to try and run from me. I send a stream of fire behind him, chasing him as he runs, toying with him the way he toyed with Laiken and Naevys. When I finally tire of playing with him, I light his legs on fire, watching him burn slowly.

My ears were ringing. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t even think. My friends were gone. Burned. A shape appeared through the fire. Jake. He walked straight through the flames like they were nothing. His face was calm. Too calm. “This fire,” he said, his voice echoing like thunder, “is the same fire from the night your parents died.” I shook my head. “No… no…” “You can’t run from it, Selena,” he said. Another shape burst into the room. Cullen.

I paused for a brief moment before replying in a calm and peaceful manner, "Yeah, I won't be returning to the country. Please stop calling me, Zeke." I hung up the phone. I had basically severed all ties with him. I stared at the skyscrapers outside. From this point onward, Zeke Jones and I had nothing to do with each other. We would never cross paths ever again.
