Burned to Beta

 The blaze flared into the sky. The night filled with smoke and sparks. The stars disappeared in the haze and glowing embers. The historical saloon hotel was shaded by the inferno roaring behind it. The life Lynexia had known and loved, devoured by coruscate.  Lynexia stood at the edge of the woods and watched two figures being pushed through the ruins of the entrance to the saloon. They were covered in ash, and they were pale with fear from the building, disappearing inside again.  A crack was heard through the screams and flames, and another window exploded.  The roof began to buckle as more smoke and sparks sprayed the night sky.   In the mountains of the wild west of Wyoming, the old town sat several miles from civilization.  Though perfect for the pack, there was no way for emergency services t

A knock came from the kitchen door. Lavender left the dishes and opened the door. A red-haired, slim female stood on the step. “Ginger, thank you for coming on such short notice.” the older female greeted. “You’re welcome, Mama. You said that it was important. How is the pack?” Ginger responded, entering the kitchen. “The ones that are here are shaken up but coping. The one we are most worried about is Lynexia She watched as her father and mother got as many of the pack to safety as possible. Then the building collapsed around them” LAvender explained. Poor girl. How is she holding up?” Ginger required. “I’ll take you to her.” Lavender offered. The red-haired female followed her mother out of the kitchen. The males continued their conversation as the females left.Lavender opened the bedroom door and allowed Ginger to enter first. Ginger looked to the bed and found them curled-up teenagers sleeping. The tee

Lynexia woke the next morning, confused. She remembered being in the fields but not returning to the ranch house. She sat up, stretched, and sniffed the air. The smell of sausage and eggs filled her sinuses. She kicked her legs over the edge. Lynexia slowly got to her feet and left the room. She made her way through the house to enter the kitchen. Alrik, sensing her presence, looked up from his plate. “How did you sleep, Lynexia?” he questioned. Lynexia shrugged her shoulders in response. “Are you hungry?'' he inquired as he got up from the table and approached her. “Not really” she whispered as Alrik led her to his chair and had her sit. “You really should eat something.” Lavender urged. Alrik moved his plate so his grandmother placed a plate of sausage and toast in front of Lynexia. Lynexia was not really hungry but felt all the eyes burrowing through her. She took a small bite of toast. Ginger then placed a glass of juice next to Lynexia's plate. The young female finished one pie

I am sorry that I have not written anything in this story for a bit. I am working out where to go from here. I thought I had a plan but that did not work out so well. I am working on the next phase.

I want a few more twists before I continue. Thank you for reading. While you wait you can check out my other books. Happy Reading!

Lynexia awoke sometime later, hearing voices down stairs. She got up and walked out of her bedroom. Then she walked down the stairs and cracked the door open, just a little. She could finally hear the voices more clearly. “I’m sorry, Alrik, Lynexia has not come down. I don’t think this is a good time to visit.” Melania said. “Mel, I need to see her.” Alrik protested. “I understand what you are feeling but you cannot rush her feelings. You constantly around will unnerve her. She is already struggling with the new life she has been dealt.” Rydell responded, trying to calm the young man. “I can’t just walk away and wonder how she is doing. She is me..” “Stop, do not talk about that right now. If she can hear us, this news would scare her more. Now is not the time to add that into her world. Give her some time to settle. You can come back another time. We will let you know when it would be a good time. I promise to keep you up to date on her condition. Be patient.” Melania urged. Lynexia
