Novel & Cerita After The Altar Falls

Her faith was already shattered, but now for sure it was eternally broken. Jasmine sat on her bed knees up in the silence staring blankly at the wall, drinking tequila straight out the bottle. Replay of her falling down the stairs and seeing Chelsea’s spirit lead her to her own battered and bruised body, seeing her face, knowing she failed. In her mind Chelsea was blaming her, walking zombielike towards her, hands out pointing at her. It was only in her head, but Jasmine covered her eyes by hiding her forehead in her knees rocking back and forth.

Shirley replied, then she cringed when the image of a newspaper bearing the headline flashed in front of her eyes. You underestimate me, baby girl. I do not think sex or anything can kill me that easily. I am an alpha after all, a very strong one at that, do not ever forget that. I would not mind dieing that way though, it is a very honorable way to die and I will not mind dieing now if it means I am going to die under or on top of you. We can continue from where we stopped in the afterlife. That is, if something like that exists, I can not really say because there is no way to prove if it does exist or if it does not, "Zane replied with a smirk." Who thinks of having sex in the afterlife? S

He spoke on his way out, "The baby wipes are on the upper shelf so, don't hurt yourself while getting them. Also, the fresh hand towels are in the lowest drawer." Scarlet stuck her tongue at the boy's back, "I'm not that short! Watch me." Vantae raised an eyebrow at her, gesturing for her to go ahead. The girl huffed, marching into the bathroom. Vantae leaned over the lavatory's doorframe in case she did hurt herself (that you guessed is about to happen). Scarlet bent down to open the drawers in the form of a ladder. She balanced her weight on the seams of the wooden cavity and reached the shelf. Stretching her arm fully, she grabbed the pack of wipes. Vantae sighed, "You could have just ask

said Professor Alex pleasantly. “I will announce something important to all of us. But first I will explain our current situation. You must know that the world is getting out of control. Last night, I chatted with a board member from the Hope organization. They think that if the world will collapse soon and within two months, seventy percent of the human population will become terrible creatures due to the 'S' virus,” said Professor Alex in a serious tone. All members of the Jaguar team listened carefully to Professor Alex's words.

Its upper body crawled, bone grinding against rock. “Not wolves,” he growled. “Not anymore.” The first one caught my arm. Cold. Too cold. No warmth in the grip. No blood in the skin. I twisted, kicked, drove my knee into its ribs, and finally it dropped but not because it died. It stopped moving because it finished whatever it came to do. The altar began to glow, Low at first, then burning. Chito’s team slammed into the circle from the far side, breaking two of the figures down. The spiral shattered in places. But the center held.

Not when we had only just begun. The violet light of our new marks flickered in the darkness like twin stars, illuminating the stone walls as we plummeted. The fall felt eternal, a transition between the world we knew and whatever lay beneath the Altar. If we die here, I thought, pressing my face into the crook of his neck, at least the flame dies with us.

Shattering it. Silence. Sudden, deafening silence. The chant cuts off mid-groan. Kin collapse, writhing, clutching their heads, severed from the source of their amplified madness. Arthur reels back from the altar, the dagger clutched spasmodically. He stares at the Child, then at the fallen Kin, utter confusion warring with fury on his ruined face. The blue flicker in his eye is gone, swallowed by raging green void. But the Child… they don’t hover. They fall . Like a spent firework. Their light gutters, dims to a faint ember. They hit the blighted earth near the altar, a small, still form. Cold. So cold. Detachment won. Or… sacrifice did.

“The only thing that scares me… is not being close enough if someone tries to take you.” Her stomach tightened, both in fear and something warmer, deeper, more dangerous. “Get dressed,” he murmured. “I’ll be waiting.” ****** The gala was held in the Crestfallen Hotel. A towering marble fortress lit with white stone columns that stretched into the sky. Snow drifted in slow spirals, settling on the awnings and glowing under the lanterns. Lucian helped Elara from the car only after scanning the street with a careful, lethal precision. If anyone had ever looked at her with such wordless protectiveness, she didn’t remember it.

Rohan told her and she reluctantly did so. She smiled as she placed her hand on his shoulders. Just as soon as his hand wrapped her waist, she noticed Damien staring at her behind Rohan. “Damien?” she called and immediately, her legs wobbled. The heel from her shoe broke, and she fell to the floor, while the crowd gasped.

Cordelia bit her lip and let her blood fall under everyone's watchful eyes. The prophecy scroll glowed faintly red. The Crown Prince was overjoyed. "See! I told you..." Before he could finish, dark clouds suddenly gathered overhead, and the hall plunged into shadow. The scroll burst into black flames with a roar.
