Bibleproject Ruth Novels & Stories

Time for "old faithful." I pulled out some scriptures Ruthie, my best friend, gave me. I had a bookmark in Genesis Four. That's where I'd stopped the last time I needed help falling asleep. Yes, I was a scripture-reading teenager. However, my motivation wasn't to get all spiritual - it was to get so bored, I would fall asleep. It was a tip from Ruthie - whose parents were super righteous. Ruthie called the scriptures her insomnia cure - a biblical miracle! Ha! Fortunately, it worked for me, too. I cracked the book open to Genesis Four.

The girl now looked annoyed for being called at another name. “Oh, yeah. I apologize. My bad. It’s Ghada. I have almost forgotten about it since my big bro is a notorious playboy and I have encountered his countless girls with different names resulting in why my memory cannot just stick to one,” Rhian continued to exasperate the brunette. The latter almost rolled her eyes. “Oh? Is that so? Okay.” “Rhian, what are you both doing here?” Zack asked coldly and plainly glanced at me. “You know that sis Irryn and I do jogging every morning, and this time, I am in the mood to go here and to let her finally see this. One of our businesses. Your fitness gym.”

The next morning, I had woken up to an empty bed, I had slept too much to even realize that he had left. I rushed downstairs, Rachel sat on the couch, watching Television, that was rather awkward, she hardly ever sits to watch anything and here she was so early in the morning face first to the TV. “What’s going on?” I asked, raising a brow at her. “What do you mean?” She asked back “I’m watching TV” she added almost angrily. “You never watch TV” I pointed out. “I might as well start…stocks in the company have started plummeting and my friends no longer want to hang out with me” she said, acting like a child whose friends abandoned her.

she said, "I didn't see anything like that, not on the front page, anyway." Wednesday night, Ruth dreamt that she was some kind of feminist nut. She was stalking a guy who had been accused of date rape. Ruth, whoever she was in her dream, caught up with him in the shadows behind the field house. Ruth felt a thrill of satisfaction, as she struck, dropped him with a blow to the head. She used a bronze statue of Athena which "Ruth" had won as some sort of award. She examined it, in the dim light, to see if anything had broken or bent when she heard that THOCK, the sound of bronze meeting bone.

I had been enthusiastic about today, but as the time grew closer, my anxiety got the better part of me. “Hell nah, we gonna do it” I heard Ruth's voice as she chuckled. She had for sure grown courage over the night and that was a good thing, she certainly was gonna use hers to cover up for both. “I'm gonna have these” she stretched out her hands and picked out a toasted bread, she bit into it and stared towards me who was lost in thought staring at her bread, she picked out another and handed it over to me. “Nah I'm good” I turned my face in her direction.

“I needed to escape my past. Umbra seemed like the only option.” Escape. I understood that too well. “What’s it like, this academy?” “Harsh,” Anne said. “Ruthless. But you’ll get stronger. You’ll learn to protect yourself.” “Protection.” That was something I desperately needed. “And you trust them?” Anne hesitated. “No. But sometimes, it’s not about trust. It’s about survival.” We finally reached Anne’s temporary home, a small, modest place hidden away from prying eyes. As we stepped inside, the weight of everything crashed down on me. “Thank you,” I whispered, though my heart was heavy with doubt.

(Ruth's POV) Why is everyone looking at me like that, like they don't know what I can do? I thought everyone already had an idea of what the princess should be like. I moved closer to the bed, looking at my brother in pain. I couldn't help but let the tears in my eyes fall. His pain was the only way I realized how much I had grown to love him, and the anger I felt was not compared to the fear of watching him suffer. "What are you talking about, Ruth? You and I both know that you can't do that at this moment. You can only do that with your wolf—"

A name that tasted like bitter ash on my tongue, a reminder of failure, disgrace, and betrayal. She had done the unthinkable. Ventured into the Hidden Valley. That cursed place, swallowed by dense, creeping fog and poisonous Violet Flowers—its very air thick with magic and menace. Even the bravest lost their way there, their souls slipping away into darkness. Rumors and whispers surrounded the valley, tales of ancient secrets and power that no one alive should touch.
