Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 340

My eyes were glued to the screen, trying to catch Hazel's reaction. But in that instant, Evan's photo tumbled down unexpectedly, causing Hazel to flinch instinctively.

The place was suddenly swept by an eerie gust, the flames leaping higher, sparks flying in all directions.

The next second, the photo that had fallen stood upright again, as if by magic. The flickering light cast Evan's face in the photo in a ghastly distortion, his pupils unsettling, floating as if alive. Hazel, terrified, crashed onto the ground with a chilling scream.

Farley and Jaylan also shivered, eyes wide with horror as they stared at the photo.

Then, in a twist beyond belief, the photo caught fire as it floated away, burning rapidly. The face in the photo grinned more grotesquely as the photo, carried by a gust of fiery sparks, flew towards Hazel and set her clothes ablaze with a whoosh.

The fire in the dark, isolated space burned brightly and ominously. The person filming the video exclaimed, "Holy smokes! Her clothes are on fire!"

Hannah responded sharply, "Quiet!"

The voice whispered urgently, "It's lit, you see that?"

Hazel, sitting on the ground, was screaming continuously, rolling and crawling backwards in a dreadful panic. Her cries were bone-chilling.

It was only then that Jaylan, previously stunned into inaction, sprang into motion, rushing to his mother's side. But even as Hazel's screams intensified, he seemed clueless about how to extinguish the flames, pacing wildly in desperation.

Farley was the quicker thinker. He ran over and began stomping on the flames engulfing Hazel's clothes.

Jaylan finally snapped out of it, grabbed some grass by the roadside, and started beating the flames on his mother, all the while crying out for her.

Hazel screamed in agony. as she rolled on the ground trying to put out the fire.

Soon, the fire was out, but Hazel lay motionless.

Hannah and I were speechless, staring at the screen, goosebumps prickling our skin, hands rubbing our arms in disbelief.

Hannah kept muttering, "Holy hell... Holy hell..."

I was too shocked to even close my gaping mouth.
