Book Hood Novels & Stories

I picked up the letter and read the gibberish the best I could. “aperi hoc buxum,” I whispered. The box started heating up and I dropped it. It accidentally hit my left foot. It was so painful I fell on the floor. The box shimmered even more and it started ascending three feet in the air. I crawled away from it to the corner of my room. I watched it go two feet higher and get brighter. I closed my eyes, thinking it’s going to blow up. Eventually, I heard a loud thump. I opened my eyes and the box is on the floor. I got up and approached it slowly. The box was open. I dipped my hand in and reached for the content of the box. It looked like a gem, a red gem.

The other one who had an overgrown mustache like he was from London was still gazing at me with lots of curiosity, and it was starting to get disturbing. " Can we skip to the part where you test my blood? I have to watch a movie" I said agitated. I was already feeling mutant-y and a bonding session with two doctors wasn't exactly on top of my list at the moment. " I apologize for that, he's always that way" my dad jumped in and apologized respectfully. Mustache man who didn't appear annoyed by my demeanor waved his arm dismissively. " We won't take much if your time" he said whilst taking out a syringe and a small-sized glass tube, the kind we use in science labs. He also took out a glass bo

Every instinct I had screamed at me not to open that door. Scout barked, his sharp yelp cutting through the silence. Another heavy knock rattled the door. “I hear the dog. Open up, son. I know you’re in there.” I hesitated a moment too long before unlocking it. The door burst open, the man pushing his way in. He filled the space with his presence—broad shoulders, heavy coat, boots stomping against the wood. His salt-and-pepper hair and dark eyes locked onto me, and I knew instantly: I’d made a mistake.

I doubted I'd make it through the night if I had to cope with this. Bennett, as promised, parked his car in a parking garage and arranged for us to be picked up by a man in a suit driving a more modest-looking BMW. We both slid into the rear seat, and as soon as we were fastened in, the driver took off. As the buildings surrounding us became taller and the streets narrowed, I knew we were getting close to the city's core. We got stuck in traffic, as expected. Bennett kept his mouth shut and stared out the window, which surprised me. I looked out my window, observing the crowds of people on the walkways coming in and out of stores and flats. Crowds used to concern me, but they actually fit th

The sun's about to go down and that would mean Clyde's on his way back. It took her double the time she wasted on opening the door and the trapdoor to open this chest. It had double the rusty locks and was completely covered with dust. Alessia released a heavy sigh once the last lock clicked open. That took her long enough. The chest creaked open and released a few spiders. After much coughing up of specks of dust, she finally caught sight of what's inside it. "A book?" She muttered to herself and wiped the clouds of dust on the cover of the book, revealing its title. It was a golden-rimmed hardback with an embossed title. . ." L'Histoire de la Magie."

The clubhouse was behind him… burning. My breath caught and my world instantly tilt. Then another message followed: “You chose wrong.” For a second, everything inside me froze. Then adrenaline rushed through me. I was scared and angry. “Noah…” I whispered. “What?” he asked, frowning. But I didn’t answer, I was already running. By the time I got to the compound, flames were tearing through the roof. The sky glowed orange, thick with smoke. Sirens wailed in the distance, echoing off the concrete walls. Brothers shouted, coughing, dragging bodies out into the yard.

An hour later, I arrived at the police station in my wheelchair. Hearing my voice, the person handcuffed to the chair slowly looked up. Upon seeing that familiar face, I felt a mix of emotions. “Ms. Spector.” My homeroom teacher looked me up and down. A flash of hatred crossed her eyes. “How are you still alive?” I rolled my wheelchair up to face the homeroom teacher. “Ms. Spector, can you tell me why you killed so many valedictorians?” My homeroom teacher scoffed coldly and turned her head away.

I sighed. “Then we have to make sure he doesn’t see you,” I said, already moving to the closet. I had no idea what Ava owned, so I just grabbed the biggest, darkest thing I could find: a faded black hoodie with holes in the cuffs and what looked like a burn mark on one shoulder. “Put this on. Keep the Hood up, and your head down. If you don’t want to see anyone, we’ll find a path where you won’t.” She stared at the hoodie like it was a snake. The phone buzzed again, and this time she stuffed it deep in her pocket, still not answering. I wondered what it was like to be so wanted and so unable to answer the call.

During my three-year-old son's preschool physical, his blood type didn't match mine or my wife's. I had just printed the divorce papers when I suddenly heard my son's voice. [This disgusting man is so stupid. He's raised me, his own little brother, as his son for years and still has no idea!] [Lol, hurry up and get divorced. Once they divorce, I can cling openly to my real mom!] [And divorced men are unwanted anyway. From now on, every dollar he earns will be mine!] My wife was still anxiously explaining, "Honey! I really never betrayed you! Do you really want a divorce?" I looked at my son's tightly closed lips and excited eyes, then tore up the divorce papers instead. "No divorce. S

Whatever the situation is, read the room first! “I’m from Jaxon. Here for pick up.” Aiden said simply. Those were the exact words Jaxon told him to say. “Yeah, he told me,” Hood replied as he ran his eyes on Aiden then Amira who had her hands wrapped around herself. Hood looked away from them and nodded at one of the men in the room. He walked into another room and walked out back with the bag. He dropped it on the table in front of Aiden and Amira before taking a few steps back. Hood picked up a table knife in front of him and threw it at the bag.
