Chapter Five

Allison smiled sleepily at Pyros over her breakfast. She and Pyros had made love four more times before finally getting out of bed, and she had gotten very little rest.

“You could just not go to work today, you know.” Pyros seemed very amused and pleased with himself, if the satisfied grin he sported was any indication.

That was ok. She was pretty pleased with herself. She had brought the God of Fire to his knees in ecstasy on more than one occasion the night before.

One particular memory came to mind as she ate her banana. Without saying a word, she took the sweet fruit into her mouth before catching his gaze with her own. She winked when he simply stared at her, open-mouthed. Obviously, he was remembering the same event she was.

“I wish I could, but Tiana’s expecting me to go over the latest data on the volcano.” She smiled, then laid the rest of her banana on the table. “It’s under control again, you know.”

“Yes. Our… sexual frenzy… last night drew excess energy. “

Allison giggled. “Yeah. I noticed that. It was amazing.”

“Yes. It was.” Pyros had moved behind her, and he lowered his head to kiss her shoulder.

She batted at him playfully. “I was talking about how we drew the volcano’s energy.”

“Oh. That too, then.”

Pyros continued to nibble on her neck and shoulder. If he continued that, Allison wasn’t sure she’d care if Tiana waited on her or not.

She was about to say to hell with work and Tiana when the ground started to tremble. It was only a slight rumbling at first, then grew more and more violent until she and Pyros both were thrown to the floor, and Allison’s house started to crumble around them.

Pieces of the ceiling rained down on them. Glass knickknacks burst as they hit the ground and books fell from their shelves, followed by the shelves themselves. Almost every window exploded, raining more glass on top of them.

“Pyros!”

“Talon is in distress.” Pyros covered her body with his and rolled them under a table.

Instinctively, Allison reached out with her mind. Only this time, it wasn’t the fire she was interested in.

“Something is happening to the earth around and underneath the caldera. It’s trying to heave.” Allison had to shout to be heard. “Talon is trying to stop it, but something is blocking him.”

Without warning, everything stopped.

The silence was deafening.

They waited for a few seconds before Pyros moved them from underneath the table. “You can read him that easily?” The question was almost devoid of emotion. Almost. Allison could sense the tension underneath.

“Pyros, you know I have a connection of sorts with the earth. I’m getting that information there. Not from Talon.”

Pyros blinked several times. “Of course. I -- I’m sorry.”

“What’s wrong?” Allison was genuinely worried. There was something… different about Pyros for a second. She could feel it.

“I don’t know.” He blinked again and smiled. “Nothing. I need to find Talon. The earth is taking over him and I think he could use our help.
