Black Door Bell Novels & Stories

Caleb whispered, his voice dropping to a flat, chilling vibration that cut through the dead silence. I scrambled to pull up my trousers in the dark, my hands shaking so violently I could barely guide the metal zipper. The absolute security of the Blackwood estate—the fortress I had grown to resent yet rely on—had just been compromised. Suddenly, a red, low-intensity emergency strip along the baseboards flickered to life. It didn't illuminate the room; it only cast long, bloody shadows across the grand piano and the polished floorboards. Before I could even step off the instrument lid, the heavy mahogany double doors of the music room burst open.

Grandma always said that the black colour gives a calm atmosphere to concentrate while practicing a spell. I stood in front of it and the huge oak double doors opened by itself, sensing my presence. Those doors were under a spell that could recognise a person's aura. If someone was a resident or came with friendly intentions, it will open itself. But if some ill-willed being tried to enter, it will block them out.

But there were no humans or vampires in the group that was found. The large black horse was meandering around nibbling on fresh grass when he came up to the bell tower. He walked over and sniffed the two bodies holding each other. The horse snorted, shook its head and walked over to the bell’s pull rope. It pulled the rope and caused the bell to ring. Everyone’s head turned toward the sound and they made their way in that direction. When they reached the tower they saw the horse holding the rope in its mouth. It dropped the rope and walked over to the dead couple holding each other. Cassia walked over and saw who they were.

Ding-dong. The doorbell chimed.

The doorknob began to turn. Black magic. Isabella was here.

I noticed a hint of sadness on his voice. “I’m sorry hyung. I just want to enjoy my homecoming. I know that in the following days, I will be busy again.” I said turning serious. “You almost ruin a special occasion tonight Black Dragon. Wanna tell me what happened?” he answered turning serious too. “Yes, sir.” I just said. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3RD PERSON Four watches alarmed at the same time as their owners rushed their hands to stop it. One of them left the frying fan ordering his assistant to take over. He entered at the pantry, opened one of the cabinets and stepped inside. Upon closing the door, a humming can be heard inside.

“When even light begins to fear the darkness… the true war finally begins.” ⸻ The Seventh Bell continued to ring. Not loudly. Not violently. Its sound was slow. Heavy. Ancient. Each toll echoed beneath the mountain as if something buried deep within the earth was answering its call. Then… Every candle inside the Cathedral turned black. Not extinguished. Burning. But with flames darker than midnight. The temperature dropped instantly. Frost spread across the marble floor. Every breath became visible.

A hidden panel in the floor began to slide open, and a scent I knew better than my own name began to fill the room. It wasn’t a sedative. It was the smell of ozone and high-voltage electricity. “Zander, wake up!” I screamed, but as he bolted upright, the glass walls of the master suite didn’t just break—they polarized, turning into a solid, impenetrable black. The voice of the girl from the monitors—the “Real Blackwood”—echoed through the room’s hidden speakers. “The first night of freedom is always the shortest, Mother. Happy anniversary.”

He pulled a small, black whistle from his belt—made of human bone. "You think a little light can stop me?" Silas screamed. "I have spent fifty years preparing for this! If I cannot have the Origin, then no one will have a soul!" He blew the whistle. The sound wasn't a noise. It was a frequency that made the very air curdle. Far off in the North, a sound answered. A sound of a gate being ripped open again. Not by a Soul-Eater, but by something smaller. Something faster. The ground beneath our feet began to turn into black glass.
