When she becomes a citizen, she wants to join the fire office and finds that there is only one thing standing in her way...her own genes. Her mother got pregnant on a distant world by their Guardian, and Jimra has to face the fact that she isn’t welcome on her world, but she might be welcome on her father’s.

    Blazing Serious - Viola Grace

    Tales of the Citadel Book 44

    By

    Viola Grace

    Chapter One

    The homeowner ran up the street toward his house. The blaze was roaring and threatening to spread to the houses to either side.

    Graftic fastened his gear and prepared to go into the blaze in search of the life signs that had been there just five minutes earlier when the drone had flown in. The drone had been destroyed, but it had identified the one spot where someone could still be alive.

    Graftic and his team faced the blaze and moved forward with their dousers when the flames went inward.

    In under twenty seconds, there was no sign of the fire and the wood and steel were not even smoking.

    What the hell is going on, Chief?

    I don’t know. Clear the house but be on alert. This could be the start of an explosion. We don’t know what is going on.

    A little girl ran out with a smudged dolly clutched to her chest. The homeowner rushed forward and hugged her.

    I was only gone a minute. I swear. He sobbed and held his child.

    Was there any one else in there?

    The little girl nodded. Jimra came in. She made the fire go away, but I think it made her sick.

    The father looked wary. Jimra was there?

    She said that the fire shouldn’t have been there. She said the fire was wrong, and then, she ate it.

    Graftic nodded and headed into the building. He identified the part of the building that had been available to a possible survivor and entered the room.

    A young woman was on her knees, and she had her arms wrapped around her midsection. When she heard Graftic, she whirled. I can’t hold it much longer.

    What?

    She stared at him, and he saw fire in her eyes. It began to leak out and skittered down her arm. I can’t hang onto the fire much longer. It wants out, but there is no safe place to put it.

    He blinked. You can release it?

    I have to. I have never pulled this much fire inside. I have nowhere to put it. Fiery tears tracked down her cheeks.

    Can I wrap you up in a blanket and get you somewhere you can let the fire go?

    She nodded, and she huddled in a ball at his feet.

    He flipped out a fire blanket and wrapped it around her; the heat of her body registered through the insulation of his suit. Graftic used the com to get a vehicle out front, and when he had settled Jimra in the back seat, he pulled the skimmer up and headed toward the nearest stand of rock.

    Take it easy, little one, we are almost there.

    She nodded from inside the bundle. Good. I can feel the power going.
