Others carried charts. The argument had split along epistemic lines. — Selene visited a guaranteed zone unannounced. No alarms sounded. The systems adapted. She walked streets where no one hurried. Where schedules aligned without effort. A man smiled at her without recognition. For a moment, she envied him. — In a non-aligned town that night, a fire broke out. Buckets were passed. Decisions shouted. Someone was burned. Someone else was saved. The story spread slower than data. But it spread.

“Rebekah might join if she sees undeniable proof. But Darius? He’ll wait until it’s too late. He thinks he’s untouchable.” Selene’s jaw tightened. “Let him think that. It’ll make his fall all the greater.” Marcus returned then, a parchment in hand — a scout’s latest report. His face was grim as he handed it over. Selene took it and scanned the contents quickly, her pulse spiking. “What is it?” Kieran asked, sensing her tension. Selene’s fingers tightened around the parchment. “Our scouts near Southwood saw fires last night. Smoke rising from the pack’s center.”

"It's a good thing Jacob is gullible. He believed you were in Manhattan even though you didn't return to your aunt's house. But did you shut up the Langham family's driver? Don't let them get a chance to attack you." "Take it easy, I always know what to do before moving forward." At the other end, Ursula let out a long sigh. "You're always playing with fire, Celine. Aren't you ever afraid of getting burned?" "I was already burnt before I even started this, Sula." Celine leaned back comfortably on the chair she was sitting on. Her eyes gazed at the road that seemed to be deserted. The driver who drove her chose to enter the freeway in order to quickly arrive at the place Celine wanted to go.

After a tense silence, Thomas finally sounded utterly defeated. “That’s enough! Stop! The rescue team is already on the way! “Just… go around, don’t come this way.” I exhaled sharply and yanked the wheel, turning the car around. I had gambled right. However, moments of relief were immediately replaced by a wave of heat even stronger than before. Smoke burned in my lungs, and all I could hear was the relentless crackling of the fire. I fought to control the car, spinning through flames and smoke, gripping the wheel with every ounce of strength.

the man avoided his angry gaze, he was looking at his feet, thinking about what'll possible happen to him the moment he got fired. "You didn't even look for her?" He dialed something on his phone while interrogating his men. "We did, but we can't find her, maybe her friend knew where she is" "Call Lizzy now!" His loud voice conveyed fear to them that made them moved faster to do what he ordered. "Her it is, sir" he gave the phone to Hadlee's dad. "Hello Tito" "Lizzy are you with my daughter?" The phone was on loudspeaker so anyone can hear it, one of his men are holding it for him.

Chapter 13 Set Fire and Burn by Ruth Nalio Angelica… Darkness surrounded me and the screaming of the wind filled my ears. The ground shook beneath my feet, cracking with each step I took. My flaming fingertips trailed along the walls of the building next to me, catching it on fire with ease. Inside, I was filled with more pain and anger than humanly possible. Terror woke me from my nightmare, and I sat up screaming. Looking down at myself, I jumped out of the bed as I realized I was on fire. “Fuck! No!” I shook my hands, as if I could shake out the fire.

Shadows flicker red beneath my door now, dancing like cruel spirits. “Run!” The word echoes in my skull. The door bursts inward in a spray of sparks and splintered wood. Flames roar behind a towering silhouette. A man steps through the fire. I cannot see his face — only the outline of him carved in burning light. And his eyes. They glow. Not with reflection. With power. The world fractures into red and gold. Heat devours everything. The scream tears from my throat— I wake choking on smoke that isn’t there. My room is dark. Quiet. Whole.

Chapter 05 "Fire and Ice Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice." ― Robert Frost Floating up in the atmosphere with my knees curled up to my chest in a ball of fire, I realized I was shaking, wincing in pain, breathing heavily; and that my body control was not working under my will. I strived to stop the seething heat that was coming out of me, but nothing I did seemed to work. I couldn't fathom where possibly have I gone wrong. Was it some word I said wrong? I spent years reading the book of enchanted rhymes, and love spells that I found in the attic one time when I and Ophé were but little kids playing hide and seek. Could it be a forged copy? Had I angered the spirits, the t

She could feel them squeezing the breath from her lungs. Tears streamed down her face as she fought against the suffocating tendrils, the whispers growing louder and more chaotic, drowning out her thoughts. Her vision blurred, the edges of her consciousness darkening as the vines continued their assault. At the edge of giving up, Joan knew she needed to fight. The vines had tightened their grip, one of them already snaked its way around her neck, constricting her breath. Panic surged through her, but so did a fierce determination. The strange chantings grew louder, but amidst the chaos, a sudden, desperate will to live and escape ignited within her.

Making us vanish into nothingness. I need to react fast. This is bad, really bad. If she can catch on fire, she can do some real damage to my members. "Return to the pack ground, now," I commanded by the mental bond, and some of them were hesitant, but they obeyed. A few moments later, we ended up alone: the little red wolf, me, and the only woman I would take a silver bullet for. But Bardo, the Water Wizard, stood close by, ready to extinguish the fire.
