After We Fell Novels & Stories

Imagine what she has done now. We moved all moved forward but I got slipped by something slippery on the ground and fell down. I looked at the floor but it is all full of dead leaves and rotten fruits. We got to a place that looks like step. It is a route that goes downward. Four of us followed the route and went down. On getting down, the first thing we say was a gorilla holding a cup and in clothes like a waiter.

The aspirin was useless. Not because it didn't function anymore, but because Vanessa found that she didn't need it after all. Her migraines died out after her talk with Jake and they did not return. When she woke in the morning, she grabbed her phone to see if Jake had texted her, while half-praying he hadn't texted her. But there was no message from an unknown number. She frowned, a little disappointed, and she did not understand why she felt disappointed. She sighed, dropped her phone and rolled out of bed.

I lost count of how long we stayed like that before she broke the hug. "I'm really sorry. I—I didn't. . ." Her voice cracks and she sniffs while I pull her into a hug again. "It's okay, Ren," I whisper, tracing patterns on her back while maintaining the hug. "It's okay," I say again, letting my lips rest on the spot on her hair where my chin should have been. We maintain the position, both of us finding solace in each other's arms and we don't bother breaking it until Clade's voice fills the air.

Out of pure reaction, I grabbed onto the sides of the vent, but it did no good as we all fell. Not realizing how high up we were, or our exact location, my eyes widened in surprise when I saw a deep dark abyss below us. Not being able to see anything, I wasn’t sure how much of a fall we had in store for us. It felt like forever and a day before I slammed down hard on solid ground. I landed on my back, with a loud thud, knocking the wind straight out of me. Rolling to my side, I coughed a few times as I tried to catch my breath. My eyes took a moment to adjust. Wherever we had fallen to, didn’t have any light.

First I wobble on my feet when I try to reach higher and grab the tampon which of course makes me lose balance, I try to keep myself from falling by holding onto the woman’s shoulders but that is an even more terrible idea because she obviously hates me and wants me off her body as soon as possible. I know this because she pushes my hand away which has me reeling back. But I’m not one to give up so easily so I grab her shirt and we both tumble down to the ground. It would have been fine if our encounter ended her but of course not, I don’t have such good luck. The woman had unfortunately tried to grab the shelf to avoid falling down but like me she had failed and only sent all the tampons on

She giggled and I nodded. We both headed our and some time later, we were back at the hotel and everyone is off to sleep. The good feeling of falling on the bed after a long day.

Boom! The ground collapsed, causing everyone to lose their footing and fall downwards. "Aaaahhh!" Frightened screams echoed as they plummeted into the darkness below. Just when they thought they were about to hit the ground and fall to their death, Adrian shouted, "Calm down, guys!" Everyone did their best to slow their panicked breathing and regain their composure. They began to help each other slow their descent, and they managed to land safely on solid ground. But as soon as their feet touched the floor, they were overcome by a strong, foul odor.

All I could think as I fell was ‘my baby…’ After several minutes of falling, I finally stopped. My body was on fire. It ached everywhere even deep in my bones. I wanted to cry out but even my tongue seemed to be in pain as well. “I don’t think she survived that fall,” I heard one of my assailants say above me. “It’s a shame we can’t return with her head,” It’s a shame I can’t meet my baby and tell him or her how much I love them. I thought to myself.

Every ounce of power I could muster surged forward. Auren stumbled backward, unable to withstand the combined force of our attack. His remaining followers either fled or knelt, trembling, realizing that the fight was over. Axel's claws dug into the ground, shielding me as I fell to my knees, exhausted, still humming with power. He knelt beside me, breathing heavy, his hand landing on my shoulder. Our eyes met, and for that second, we didn't need words. We had survived. Together. Against all odds.

I heard Lowa behind me yelling, "Three, two, one." I saw the net on the ground and I let go without hesitation. Ah! The feeling of falling almost made my heart stop beating. Boom! I fell onto the net. The net is strong and soft. I got bounced up and then landed. I gasped as Lowa landed in front of me. Our faces are all red with excitement, and our clothes and hair are disheveled. We're acting like crazy women, not a queen and a princess at all. We looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing.
