  Title: Wildefire Author: Karsten Knight ISBN: 9781442421189 © 2011 Karsten Knight Every flame begins with a spark. Blackwood Academy was supposed to be a fresh start for Ashline Wilde. A secluded boarding school deep in the heart of California's redwood forests, three thousand miles from her old life—it sounded like the new beginning she needed after an act of unspeakable violence left a girl in her hometown dead. But Blackwood is far from the peaceful haven Ashline was searching for. Because terrifying, supernatural beasts roam the forests around campus. Because the murderer from Ashline's hometown - —her own sister - has followed her across the country. Because a group of reincarnated gods and goddesses has been mysteriously summoned to Blackwood...and Ashline’’s one of them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I found this book in a little free library and took it home with me.

  gazing up to the stars in the infinite sky the world suddenly seems so small my thoughts irrelevant my body frail as I watch the constellations slowly move above me I know that I am less than I was before I've aged each second that passes, I wither away and die a little death each day my time on earth is not given there is no such thing as fate, just eventual fatality it is why I lie here, gazing up to the stars knowing even those stars will die in time maybe it doesn't matter maybe there is no before nor an after only a now each second presents us with a choice and I choose to die

I hadn 't been going around killing people, but people were hurt - the memories just kept trickling in like rivulets of fresh acid dripping into my brain until I wanted to scream. It was in my blood, I knew. A darkness. The darkness.
