Feudlings In Smoke (Fate On Fire Short Story) - Plot & Excerpts
The knowledge that he was making her face this all alone ate at him, and sleep was pretty much nonexistent.So when the phone rang at 3:00 a.m., he was awake, staring at the ceiling. Only two people ever called him. Anyone in the colony would just walk over unless it was a serious emergency. He jerked upright, tangled in the blankets, and careened off the bed in an attempt to reach his nightstand. His hand just caught the phone as he plummeted to the floor, and it sailed after him, landing with a painful thump on his head before bouncing to his lap. Ari's name and face lit up the screen.“Ari? What's wrong?”“Nothing, Will. I'm just worried about something. Can you talk?”Relief flooded through him, but he knew Ari wouldn't be calling if there wasn't something seriously stressing her. “What's up, baby sister?”“Can I come home? It's hard to talk here. I'm hiding in the bushes right now and I'm pretty sure there are spiders all around me. Crickets, too.”Will smirked. Mighty warrior afraid of bugs.
