Flaming Gemstone

Warmth Of Home

'A day like no other,'They said,
'Everything will be fine,' They said,
Surely they hadn't foreseen the disaster that was soon to come to Their lovely little Town, had They?
Aaden thought as he lay his shaking Orange orbs, who's vibrant color was matched only by the raging fire in front of Them, upon the burning pile that was once His Home.

The Stench of smoke and burning corpses was the only thing he could smell, the sound of owls and cracking wood the only sound that filled his ears, It hurt, god it fucking hurt a lot.

He just wanted it to be over already, to wake up and find out it was just a bad dream, A nightmare that had been conceived in the back of his mind somewhere, but it wasn't, the feeling of flames licking his skin, and the shards of wood and glass in his skin was proof enough of that fact,

He didn't know who did it, but they were long gone by now, even as he ran the fire seemed to still burn him, laughing at him at how he could do nothing but weep at the lost of his family, even through the salted tears filling his eyes, he could recognize the area he used to love, where his 'Super Secret Base' was hidden, he realized that he had been subconsciously running towards the one place he always felt safe, the one place he could always go whenever he was scared.

As he pushed himself to keep running, sweaty and out of breath he finally caught sight of the cave of his hideout, once he got in, he collapsed to the floor, barely enough strength to move, he forced himself to sit up against a wall, so he could at least see anything approaching, he knew he was injured, his patches of burnt skin proved that, he understood that he wouldn't last long, as he fell asleep, hoping to wake up the next day.

A/N sorry that its so short, im just trying to get into writing, and thought no better way then to just start writing, this is my first book so its probably not gonna be the best, or good for that matter, thank you for even deciding to read the beginning of what I hope can be a decent start to a book
And see you maybe next time
