Merry was looking up, assessing and thinking how big the cliff was, when out of nowhere she saw a huge explosion.
Her first thoughts were the building where she had been living all this while, the building where Cole was still inside, the building where William and Katie had returned to, was on fire.
It was like there were fireballs in the air, lighting up the whole peripheral area around the building.
