Volume Ember นิยาย & เรื่องราว

“Because you keep it steady. And you never gloat.” Carolina considered this, then flicked her a half-hearted salute. “I’m saving it up.” Night swelled quickly, shedding the usual half-measures. The city felt like it was holding its breath, the old tides struggling against new, raw currents. They met Ember in an old cold-room behind a cannery, redolent of rust and fish bones. She was smaller than Carolina expected, her face crowded with the delicate geometry of someone who had never, for a moment, been a child.

"My answer is still the same. You're not going." Her green eyes narrowed. There it was. That tiny flare of temper I had learned how to provoke simply because I liked watching it arrive. It appeared that losing her memories had not taken that from her. That was good. Ember planted both hands on her hips. "We need the winterbloom. And you need the cure." "I do." "And the winterbloom is beyond the Veil." "I am aware of all three facts, Ember. It doesn't change anything," I deadpan.

explained Grace. With hesitation, Sarah just followed the walking pace Grace away from the inspection area. She too looks in the eyes of her comrades which nodded on her as a sign of understanding. The city of ember was once of the biggest mining area around the Earth. It was for this reason that this place was enriched with natural gasses and minerals. Another factor adding to their enrichment was the Volcano of Ember. It never once exploded but it has streams underground that deliver minerals from the Volcano to the mainland.

It was intoxication as there was a pinch of beer and Nik was loving it. Miles away, Ember got down from the car and went inside Denholm's mansion. The main door was open and there was no one in the hall. Taking that as a chance, she tiptoed to the bedroom. She was a little dizzy because of the alcohol in the system. But she was mostly sober as the bastards made her fear and all the loads of costly alcohol that she drank went to the drain. She no longer appeared like a person who drank. Reaching, she carefully opened the door without creating any sound, only to be surprised to see Drake inside.

He promised I wouldn’t get angry? He promised I wouldn’t what?! Tobias set down his cup and moved to hold her hand, and seeing that made my blood boil more. “You don’t have to bother yourself baby. It’s just Emery. She reacts like this but she will come around. She always does.” “Excuse me?!” “You know, you do not have to stand here and act like you have the right to question any of my actions, Emery.” Tobias hissed staring daggers at me.

The silence between them grew colder. What do you mean, Ezekiel, I can't seem to understand what you're saying.. Ezekiel muttered, “If Velise was Realiks’ daughter… and Ember has her wolf… then…” Gamma’s eyes widened. “Then Ember may be carrying a bloodline connected to” They didn’t say it aloud. It was too much. Ezekiel shook his head. “No. Ember is not like that. I’ve seen her. She’s pure. Kind. Brave.”

Ember’s words crashed into him harder than any blow could. “You’re lying,” he said, his voice low and dangerous. Ember let out a sharp, bitter laugh. “Oh, how I wish I were.” She took a step closer, her eyes burning with a venom that had been festering for years. “I am the product of one of our father's many mistakes. My mother was one of his mistresses—a tool for him to use and discard like nothing.” Ember took a deep breath as memories resurfaced. She had gone through a lot, and bringing that memory back hurts her more than she lets on.

His eyes fully focused on me as he enunciated the last word. Chills emerged on my skin, as my hands trembled a little, luckily for me, it was hidden beneath the layers of bed sheets. I turned around to go out with James, when his voice came in again. " What's your name?", he questioned I stood still as my father's warning flashed into my head, " don't reveal your surname to anyone", he had warned. I took in a short breath as I turned around to face him. " I'm Ember" " You have a sweet name Ember", he said as a smile made its way to his face.

Emily grabbed Todds sleeve and started to pull him in the direction of their home. They continued their journey back through the slippery mud without another incident. Todd noticed his sister was strangely quiet. What was her problem he wondered, "What's your problem Em?" He asked aloud. He watched as she seemed to think about her answer. Four whole seconds later she responded with "I don't know Todd." Todd didn't respond. He wondered what was going on in his sisters' head. One minute he had fallen and the next he had picked himself up and Emily just wasn't herself. They continued their walk in silence. As they finally exited the forest and they could see their house about half a mile away T

She’d been hearing it more often lately. Not with her ears—*with her bones*. She pressed her palm flat against the glass. Moonlight pooled across the floor. And deep in her chest, something stirred. Not fear. Not even wonder. *Recognition.* Her heart beat steady. She whispered to no one: **EMBER** I hear you. The wind quieted, as if listening back. And for the first time, Ember didn’t feel like she was becoming someone new. She felt like she was *remembering* who she had always been.
