Fire And Shadows (Ashes And Ice #2) - Plot & Excerpts
The house swayed a bit, too old even to stand still. I held my breath as Nanan lit the candles around me. “Will this hurt?” I asked. She sighed and lit the last candle. “Yes, my boy. And it’ll never stop hurting.” I clenched my teeth, still determined. “Ya still want to try this?” “Yes.” Nanan’s voice rose in a language I couldn’t understand. She raised her hands to the air and rocked back and forth. The house rocked, and swayed and bucked under me. I could feel the whip and howl of the wind even as the candle flame burned brighter and brighter until the whole room was an orangey- yellow and Nanan was no longer in sight. Did she get swallowed up by the flames? I couldn’t think about that. Because just as the thought trickled into my mind, excruciating pain stabbed through me. The pain was too much, as if the world had placed magnets on my sides and they were ripping away from each other.
