The root cellar door clicked open. Damp air filled the stone tunnel, carrying the smell of wet clay and gravel. Casper led the way, ducking beneath the low wooden beams with my heavy canvas backpack over his right arm.

I followed close behind, holding Caspian against my fleece jacket. He stayed quiet, his small fingers hooked into my hoodie zipper. His silver-blue eyes moved through the darkness as a vehicle engine rumbled somewhere above us.

"Keep your head down, Olivia," Casper whispered. "Th

    The bronze gates of the south avenue block clicked shut behind the delivery van. Thomas kept the vehicle moving at a steady pace down the narrow stone driveway, the heavy tires rolling over the wet leaves without making a sound. The thick city fog swallowed the back bumper instantly, hiding our location from the main highway.I climbed out of the rear cargo hold the moment the brakes locked. My sneakers hit the damp stone steps with a fast thud. My arms held Caspian securely against my front fleece jacket. His small head rested flat against my shoulder as he let out a soft sigh. The cold morning breeze felt clean, completely free of the pine scent from the woods.Freya stepped out right behind my heels, her hands gripping the straps of our small diaper bags. Her face was completely pale under the yellow safety lamps of the entryway."Get inside the front room first, Olivia," Thomas said. His low voice was a flat, level rumble as he slid Christian’s plastic keycard through the digital

Casper led the way, ducking beneath the low wooden beams with my heavy canvas backpack over his right arm.I followed close behind, holding Caspian against my fleece jacket. He stayed quiet, his small fingers hooked into my hoodie zipper. His silver-blue eyes moved through the darkness as a vehicle engine rumbled somewhere above us."Keep your head down, Olivia," Casper whispered. "The tunnel exits behind the old logging barn near the lower stream lane. Thomas has the van waiting in the brush.""What about your truck?" I asked.My boots slipped once on the muddy floor. I tightened my hold on Caspian and kept moving."Let them find it. The Vipers registration tags are still on the bumper. My father's legal team will need time to check the frame number through the city registry. That should give you enough time to cross the county line.""And what happens when they realize you

  • The Pucking Match   junction stall

    The rusty iron gears of the utility bicycle ground loudly against the wet gravel as Casper skated the tires to a halt behind the junction store. The small wooden building sat alone at the crossroads of the ridge road, its old neon sign flickering weakly against the heavy morning fog. He leaned the iron frame against the rotten wooden siding, his breath forming thick white clouds in the freezing air as he pulled the gray windbreaker tight around his chin.He pushed the front glass door open, the small bell above the latch jingling sharply in the quiet room.The store smelled like stale tobacco, kerosene heaters, and cheap motor oil. A single television set buzzed on a metal shelf behind the counter, displaying the local sports channel logo. The anchor's voice was a low murmur, reading out the morning status updates for the Crestview Wolves roster following the emergency campus lockdown."Morning," the old clerk muttered from behind the cash register, his eyes tracking the broad frame o

    Auto SavedWord Count 106214/70The gray morning light broke through the high pine trees, hitting the dark log walls of the cabin. I opened my eyes fast. The room was warm now, the steady clank of the heating pipes keeping the cold mountain air outside the glass. Caspian was still fast asleep next to my hip on the leather couch, his small hand tucked under his cheek.I sat up slowly, my joints stiff from sleeping in my red practice uniform.Casper was not on the wooden bench. His gray training shirt and red pads were gone from the floorboards. I stood up, fixing the green blanket over Caspian’s shoulders, and walked quietly toward the small kitchen lane to check the perimeter.Casper was standing by the back window, looking out at the frozen grass near the lake. He had changed into a plain black hoodie with no team logos, his dark curls dry. His black smartphone sat on the counter, still completely dead. Near his elbow, three old tin cans of chicken soup and a box of saltine crackers

    Casper opened the passenger door. Cold air hit the cab. He took my canvas backpack from the floorboards."Take the steps slow," Casper said.I climbed down with Caspian in my arms. The wind made my legs cold. Caspian sighed against my neck and looked around the dark yard.Casper walked ahead of us up the porch. He used a brass key to unlock the oak door. It clicked open fast. He pushed the door wide and stepped back so I could go inside first.I walked into the dark room. It smelled like old wood and cold stone. The space was freezing. I walked three steps forward, looking at the dark windows facing the black lake.The cabin was simple. There were no expensive pictures or gold frames. It just had log walls, a fireplace, and two leather couches covered in dust sheets.The front door clicked shut behind me. Casper walked in and threw my bag on a bench. He hit the light switches on the wall. A single chandelier came on, throwing a yellow glow over us."Mama," Caspian whispered against my

    Christian’s headlights hit the stone porch. The bright glare made me shield my eyes. His car stopped fast on the gravel.Casper stood next to the pillar. He held the birth certificate paper tight. His face was pale.Christian opened his car door and walked up the steps fast. He stepped right between Casper and me."The game ended," Christian said. His voice was hard. "Why are you here, Vance?""The father's line on the document is blank, Christian," Casper said quietly. He lifted his head, his face tracking the light from the steps. "Olivia lied to the board to save the kid from my dad's lawyers. If she truly moved on with you two years ago like you claimed on that stage, your name would be on this line. It is empty because she is still guarding my blood."Christian went stiff. He did not throw a punch. He looked at the paper in Casper's hand."It does not matter tonight, Casper," Christian said flatly. He turned to me and grabbed my arm. "Thomas just radioed from the highway. Your fa
