Amazon Queen
“My back hit a tree seconds before my butt hit the ground. I cursed and tried to stand. Pain grabbed me, like someone had slipped my spine into a vice and was twisting down the handle, trying to twist me too. I gritted my teeth and tried to convince my mind it didn’t feel the pain, didn’t feel anything at all.
Doubled over, I staggered forward.
The cabin was an inferno; smoke billowed from the hole that had been the roof. The leaves on the closest trees, curled from the heat.
“Thea?” I called. Amazons were hard to kill, harder than humans anyway, but a fire like this? Nothing could survive it. Still bent at the waist, I jerked off my shirt and wrapped it around my face, then I lurched toward the fire. She hadn’t been in the cabin, hadn’t even been as close as I had been. Surely she had survived.
Heat slammed into me. Fire roared forward like a live beast unleashed and set on destroyting its captors.
