Breaking The Ice Short Story Novels & Stories

The black liquid spills onto the ice and I smile victoriously. One touch of this in his wounds…. I smear my hands over it like a madwoman, desperate to salvage it and rush at Royce, breaking free from the ice that binds me. Pain rips through my knees and it takes me a few moments to realise I’ve broken something. I yank free from the ice around my feet, and he swears, fear flashing in his eyes, and it’s only then I glance down to see I’ve broken my ankles to get to him.

Something snapped in my head and before I even realized what I was doing, I hurled my stick across the ice, the sound of it clattering loudly against the boards. “Damn it!” I muttered, turning sharply. “Mercer…” I didn’t wait, I pushed off, heading toward the exit. My skate slipped. One second I was moving, the next, my foot twisted awkwardly beneath me. Pain shot through my knee instantly, sharp and blinding. “Shit!” I groaned, hitting the ice hard, the impact knocking the breath out of me. For a second, everything went quiet then I heard voices and footsteps. “Mercer’s down!”

W-What is wrong he is scaring me. I make my first move towards him as a turbulent snap has my eyes swell with shock and I directly inspect the ice floor only to notice an enormous crack haughtily mocking me. "Stop. Do not move Theia." He hollers anxiously as my heart springs to pound violently in my chest to the truth of what is transpiring. The ice is breaking. I had been skating on thin ice all along. How could I be so careless? I take a peek at what lies underneath the ice. Freezing waters that shall inevitably slay me. No. Goddess no.

Her irritating presence only riled me up the more. Just then I heard a crack and turned sharply toward the lake. The ice was breaking. "Get out of there now!" I yelled and was running towards them. Natasha stood there like a statue. I didn't get to them on time and they fell into the water. They were screaming and splashing. I walked on the ice with care to avoid another breakage. I lowered on my stomach and stretched out my hand. "Grab hold of my hand!" I yelled and one of the girls held my hand and I pulled her up.

Yet he still couldn't bear to see him get hurt. Across from him, Leon looked up. Their eyes met once more. This time neither of them looked away. The words they both desperately needed to say remained trapped behind wounded pride, jealousy, and fear. For the first time since they became boyfriends, the ice between them felt colder than the rink beneath their skates. After the practice, laughter echoed from the hallway as Derek, Jerry, Nath, and the others headed toward the showers, still discussing the day's drills. In a few minutes, the locker room gradually emptied as teammates began to leave.

It sets you free. She prayed she and Beau and her siblings and friends stayed happy and loving in their relationships. They had been through a lot together. They broke each other yes, but they fixed those cracks with gold and it was beautiful. There was wonder in destructionand they had each other to get through the rubble of brokenness. *BREAKING YOU* *ThE end*

Instead, I turned to the far end of the room, where Leo was watching Jade, who was struggling to pull on her boots, frustration written all over her face. They were next on the ice rink for the figure skating club, but Jade looked ready to explode. Then, her eyes met mine. The boots dropped from her hands, her eyes widening. "Myles," she mouthed. I smiled, and in the next second, she was racing toward me, throwing her arms around me in a tight embrace. I held her too, ignoring the attention she’d drawn and the slight pain digging into my sides. “You’re going to be the death of me,” she whispered, something warm and wet soaking into my shirt. “You’re going to be the fucking death of me.”

I said slowly trying so hard to not give myself out, silence creeps in stepping out of the door, he slowly sits on a chair opposite mine, not saying a word just looking at me, I couldn't look away this time, his eyes knew how to trap a girl " I bought ice cream" he said handing over a cup of ice cream to me, it was chocolate flavor, tears drop fall from my eyes of course he knows my favorite flavor, scooping a little in my mouth, the iced flavor makes me smile, I wished Valerie was here she would definitely be yapping about something right now, " I just knew her for a few hours, I should have kept her up that night" tears rolling down my face, I couldn't control them again.

“Guess you’ll find out.” There was a pause but he replied, “Fine. You show up, you get your favor.” There it was. “Deal.” Nikolai let out a low whistle. “This is gonna be fun.” Yeah. It was going to be. *** By the time we hit the ice, everything else faded. The puck dropped and the game snapped into motion immediately, both teams coming in hard, no hesitation, no room to think too long before you moved. First pass came quick, stick to stick, pressure already building as they pushed forward, trying to break through early.

I should be excited that I wasn't part timing anymore, and have landed a real job at the most prestigious university in the country. "Everyone line up!" I snapped back as the team scrambles into something that's supposed to be a line. My skates hit the ice, my legs remembering what to do even after all these years, and I stand there with the speech I've rehearsed a hundred times ready to go. I open my mouth to speak. But someone breaks off from the group. Skates straight toward me with a smirk already on his face like he owns the whole rink, and my stomach drops out from under me before I even register why.
