Blood Echoes Book Novels & Stories

But for those who could learn, the Echo-Walking opened up the past in a way that was profound and safe. An Echo-Walker could stand in the Chamber for the Final Pattern debate and feel the compelling logic and the passionate defense not as a war inside their own soul, but as two powerful currents flowing past them. They could understand both, empathize with both, without being swept away by either. They became observers who could feel, rather than participants who were consumed.

"Don't ever enter my study again. You're not allowed to touch anything in my room again!" Back then, Liam had spoken to me with a dark expression on his face. Yet, when he turned to hold up the crystal ball, his eyes had been filled with infinite tenderness. He'd shoved me to the floor. When I looked up at him, I unintentionally caught sight of the inscription carved into the base of the crystal ball—"From: Vivi". I thought back to the rather platonic love that Liam and I had shared over the past six years. Liam would say he liked me very much every time, but he would only ever go as far as staring at my lips and holding my hand.

“You mean Varethkaal.” Ezra’s gaze snapped to her. “Not Varethkaal. What came before it. What the forest feared. What the sea bound. Varethkaal is a fragment—this is the origin.” A silence fell over them all. Then the Echo Heart pulsed. Once. The bioluminescent veins across its surface glowed a pale violet. Symbols writhed across its face, shifting like fish beneath water, incomprehensible yet urgent. Ezra dropped to his knees, clutching his head. “It’s waking up. It sees us.”

LORENZO’S POV Back in my room ...the weight of everything we had discovered settled on my chest like a stubborn cat. Heavy. Warm. Unmoving. Echo’s entire life had been ripped open in front of her... and she couldn’t even do anything about it. She couldn’t run to save her mum. Couldn’t fight for herself. Couldn’t even touch anything. And somehow… in the middle of all that mess… I had enough material to almost finish my novel. Yeah. I am horrible but also… kind of brilliant.

Suddenly, a low growl echoed from behind me. My heart leapt into my throat. I turned, my pulse racing, but all I could see were those glowing eyes staring at me from the darkness—the same eyes I’d seen haunting my nightmares, the same eyes that belonged to the Echo. It was coming for me. I felt a sudden rush of panic. Running as fast as my legs could carry me, I felt like the ground was quicksand beneath me. Each subsequent step felt more difficult, as if I was being dragged downward into the ground. The increasing growling sound came closer and louder, making me feel like the Echo's breath was right behind me.

He knew the kind of monster his Lord was. Even in the darkened room, he could still see what was happening before him, since he was a night creature. The red thread and the coffin began fading into nothingness, revealing the two people floating in the air while still embraced together. What could be heard in the darkness was the humming and cracking of bones, as though a body was remolding. The sound was eerily creepy and nerve-wracking, but not for someone like Butler Thomas — to him, the sound was like music to his ears.

The "Hard Reset" was a wall of white light that moved with the speed of an editor’s eraser. In the Author’s Study, the infinite bookshelves began to "Bleach," the titles of a thousand "Norths" vanishing into the grey static. The Author himself was unravelling, his "Ink Black" eyes turning into two hollow voids of "Cancelled Narrative."

“I won’t believe it! My mother’s simply acting!” Echo pushed Beth away despite her own trembling body. “Mom has cerebral hemorrhage!” “Cerebral hemorrhage? Dad died because of this too… And he died so quickly…” What Echo said startled Beth. “She… She’s not acting?” Echo could feel pain spread into her heart before she vomited blood and collapsed. “Mom!” Fia screamed.

Just as a flood of overwhelm flowed over the bond, an intense aura emanated from Echo and slammed into us like a brick wall. Stumbling heavily, I righted myself before I quickly assessed the situation and saw that the Betas and Deltas were all knocked off their feet, and Echo stood there looking stunned. Instantly, she screamed in a way that tore at my insides, as I heard her arm snap before she dropped to her knees.

yhe window as I looked past the road contained by various people and cars. I know, I know, this chapter is whack. I think I'm going to take a break from Echoes because I'm really having a block. I don't know when next I would update but please bear with me. I don't want to write due to pressure so as not to ruin the book for you and I. Also, there is something important here so don't think too much of the boring chapter. It happens 😂😂
