After We Fell Novels & Stories

Like someone dragging a rake down a wall made of bone and gravel. And it felt like he was holding onto something that was gently lowering us to the ground. But there wasn’t a metal railing or a rope in sight…and that sound… Suddenly, I felt us stop. I was still grabbing onto him, too afraid to even open my eyes. But he gently lowered me to the ground and I stood, too terrified to speak. How on earth had we survived falling down from a five story building?? How the hell were we still alive??? Suddenly, my eyes landed on the wall of the building, and I saw large marks like claws that had scraped against the wall from where we’d just fallen.

I could never live with myself if something happened to him because of me. It’s almost 1:00am. We have really enjoyed our time together. We talked about our childhood, what we missed, our wishes for the future, and we laughed a lot. We decided it was time to make our way back to the packhouse. We get off the wooden walkway and onto the grass when I am hit with an intense feeling. I fell to my knees.

Ethan: Text me when you fall asleep. She smiled faintly and replied. Maya: I will. She hesitated, then added: Maya: Thank you for today. He replied almost instantly. Ethan: Always. She turned onto her side, clutching the pillow to her chest. Outside her window, the campus lights glowed steadily, unaware of the quiet wars being fought in bedrooms and backseats and unspoken choices. Maya fell asleep believing love was enough. Ethan stood outside his apartment, staring at another envelope tucked under his windshield wiper.

If life after death were to be real, there's no need to fret over our loss because. "Someday, you will see them again," "It's hard to continue believing that everything is but a coincidence when we found ourselves right in the middle of something that feels exactly like purpose, is it not?" Regardless of all the pain we reluctantly wanted. The place started to shatter as the fragments float toward the sky but their gazes stayed to each other. This arcane war of theirs; never thought it could also be won by both. "By the way," Unknown spoke as the place was about to cease to exist.

Or maybe it was just Angela grabbing my hand. "You must find Aspen" Angela's voice echoed from afar. I relaxed a bit knowing that the hand holding me wasn't Angela's. "Call his name three times and say the word Videtur. Then close your-" All of a sudden we started falling down. Deep into the unknown, unable to hear the rest of Angela's warning. Mostly because we were also screaming at the top of our voices. You wouldn't blame us. We never expected the great fall. 'Close your eyes or maybe your ears?' We were about to find out. If we would still be alive when the time came.

They jump up and down and keep trying to bite me but with me climbing up the hose and Tristain pulling, there's nothing for them to bite. It takes a few painful minutes but after those painful minutes, I can finally pull both myself and Bailey into the same room as Drifter. "Holy fuck," I say after falling onto the floor and landing on my ass. "How the hell did we survive that?" "I don't know," Drifter replies. Both he and I are panting like damn dogs on a hot summer day. "But hey, we did." Drifter raises his head up before also falling onto the floor and landing on his ass.

I said and we continued to run our best. It seemed like we finally avoided them all, and as I looked back to check if there was any one waiting to jump, I tripped again and fell and as Blaze tried to catch me, we both fell into a kind of large expanse of dug up ground. We rolled painfully all the way down, hitting branches and rocks and finally we got to the bottom and stayed there for a while so if there was anything dangerous there, it might forget the sound that was heard. It had already gotten dark and there were eerie sounds all over.

She would be so heart broken to see my dead body. But then something poked my back and grabbed Kian with double the impact. "Ouch! Mira. It hurts. " I let go at his complain and slowly looked up. We had soft landed on a very thick and dense bush. We had literally smashed it with the impact of our fall. But we were not yet on level ground. We were hanging from the side of a cliff. "Hello.... We are safe... Sir Brian... " " Stella, can we hear me. We are still in one piece... "

I wasn’t sure where we were heading, but my pulse didn’t slacken until we all made it to our destination, which turned out to be another cavern that was situated near a waterfall that flowed down from far above our heads. Most of the wolves shifted shapes after the girls climbed down from their broad backs, but I wasn’t surprised when Silas, Saint, and Gage all pivoted to dash back into the forest surrounding us, leaving me a nervous mess as I was left waiting to see what would happen.

We were trying to give as much less pull as possible but it was impossible. When we were in the middle of climbing down and wishing the knot did not untie the sheet reached to its limits to hold us up. It slid down. One minute we were hanging in the air and next we fell on our asses over each other. Jess was the first who fell on the plants. Thud. "Ouch".I screamed loudly as I landed on her. " Oh Fuck".She groaned loudly in pain. "OUCH". "Ahh hh. Get off me you fat ass"She yelled and tried to shoved me off her.
