After We Fell Novels & Stories

After that, I would have finally been able to relax a little. But all of that fell apart because of their short-sightedness. Still, I held on to a bit of hope. I thought that if they saw the market respond well, maybe I could push the project through again. Even if I couldn’t take the biggest share, at least there would be benefits for everyone. Unfortunately, soon after that, I suffered gastric bleeding from drinking. If I hadn’t run into Darren that day, I might have died right there on the street. Everything after that became a blur in my memory.

I extend my claws above the closure and swipe. My wolf shifts as we hurtle to the ground. She is flailing, shredding the fibers of the ropes as we fall. We hit the ground running, I can feel the shock of the fall radiate up my wolf’s legs. We’ll worry about it later, a few of the stragglers at the treeline join in now that Finn isn’t alone.

"We did it. All of us, together." The ancient magic of Silverwood Falls had been our salvation, a testament to the power of unity and the strength of the human spirit. As the dawn broke over the town, I knew that while the battle had been won, the journey was far from over. The legacy of Silverwood Falls would continue, and we would be ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

Up a tree in the garden was a figure lying on one of the branches. The light from the moon showed it was Jacob also watching the moon and Kliara’s gaze fell at the tree as it gave her some sort of ease making her fall asleep.

The fear that I felt was something I could taste, first at the tip of my tongue and then at the retreating fold into my throat. I swallowed, ever so painfully, on the lump in my throat. “We’re not going to hurt you—” one of them said in a mocking voice, “—much,” the other guy completed with a chuckle. My legs had given out in fear, and I had fallen to the ground. I curled myself up, hoping to protect my face and stomach when the kicks and blows came raining down.

"On three!" One. I gripped the harness straps until my knuckles felt like they would burst. Two. Ethan wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me close to him and his mother, creating a single, heavy mass. Three. The charge detonated. The pulley shattered, and for a heartbeat, we were weightless. The fall felt like an eternity. The black canopy of the pines rushed up to meet us like a solid wall. We hit the branches first—a chaotic, bone-breaking sequence of snaps and thuds—before crashing into a ten-foot-deep snowdrift at the base of a cliff.

The silence lasted several seconds. Nobody trusted it. Not after everything. Not after the fake sleeping incidents. Finally I whispered. "Are they really asleep?" Order leaned forward. Studied them. Then nodded. "They appear unconscious." Good enough. We left before they could change their minds. The moment our bedroom door closed behind us, both Aella and I collapsed. Literally collapsed. Onto the bed. Neither of us even bothered changing clothes. I landed face first. Aella landed beside me. For several minutes neither of us moved.

Despite the fear and chaos of the moment, there was a sense of unity and purpose that bound us together. As the last of the blind monsters fell, the night fell silent once more, save for the ragged breaths of our team. We stood amidst the fallen creatures, our bodies bruised and battered, but victorious. "We did it," Nova said, her voice trembling with a mixture of relief and pride. Aret nodded, her expression resolute. "We make a formidable team, I hope no one sustained any injuries." Jannah flashed a weary but triumphant smile, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in our accomplishments. "No, we are all safe."

I made the tornado do my bidding, and it let go of us. “Octavia!” Asher yelled, clinging onto me as we fell into the hole in the middle of a tornado storm filled with sand. This is pretty scary and claustrophobic. We fell into the hole and everywhere got dark. “Damn you, Misha,” I mumbled as we fell. Asher was still clinging on to me, terrified. We both got to a dark place, and we fell on our feet. While I fell on my feet because Asher was on the floor. Then I light us on fire so we can see and he is on the floor breathing out.

Eren and Zoya shot the creature several times, until finally both creatures fell. *** “That's Zoya's scream! Should we help them?” Ben whispered to Jacob. "No! Just ignore them. Our main mission is to save the woman," concluded Jacob. Ben was silent hearing Jacob's answer. In his heart, he couldn't bear to leave Team One. *** After the two creatures fell, Eren, Miyuki and Zoya continued their steps back into the main room of the building. They crept slowly and hid behind the pillars of the buildings that were there. Eren peeked through the pillars. There were no monsters in sight at that time.
