Castle Nim Novels & Stories

Steel-tipped black boots edged into my line of sight. "Jericho? Fuck, Jericho, are you still alive?" That sweet yet bitter voice. Not like my mother's but probably just as imaginary. I had to be hallucinating. Forcing my chin to lift, I was met with Miranda's gleaming blue irises peering down at me in concern. A sniper rifle was slung across her black-clad figure. "Oh, thank God," a breath of relief whooshed out parted lips, "listen, I'm going to have to shoot the locks on the chains and then untie you. I don't exactly have keys. Don't worry, I won't hit you."

Then, Verus' eyes narrowed as he amended, "But not before we kill Titus." "Agreed," I replied, nodding. I knew if we didn't, he'd try creating shape shifting vamps again. "Let's go." Staying in the shadows, we ran down the alley to the end, where we could see the metal citadel gleaming in the moonlight, knowing it would be blinding to passersby in the daylight. At the end of the alley, we slid against the wall, melding into the shadows. Verus eyed me, wondering what I was up to.

Now that it’s over, I wonder how long it’ll take before things start to go back to normal. ~0~ Lena walked with Casey and Dawn to where a small stage had been set up on a patch of grass near the dorms. Principle Grant was holding a candlelight vigil to honour both Bryce and Shawna and to mark the end of a dark chapter in Cranmoore’s history.

Only an hour had passed by, but my feet were killing me and I was tired of putting on a fake smile. I was now standing in a small circle surrounded by three other couples. They were the future Alphas of their own pack, but they seemed to be only slightly older than Nathan. Ben and Krista were the next for the Blackmoor Shade Pack, John and Angela next in line for the South Shade Pack, and Daemon and Liz inherit the Thornton Shade pack.

I apologized many times for being a hinder and slowing the journey towards the county. After a few days of adventuring, we finally reached the county, "We're finally here!" Said Zale. We walked in and were stopped by the knights guarding the Gates of the Heliutin County. "Show us your identification certificate." Zale and I were taken aback. We don't own any identification certificates. From where we came from, which is the Southern Islands, we don't really need the use of this identification thingy, we just state our business and that's it. Our security is lame.

The voices intensified as a beam of light lit up Jeremy on a higher stage. The rhythm he played started soft and slow but little by little the drums intensified. When the symbols crashed, a platform rose onto the stage with Kyung Jiho on it. Hae Mina grinned when she saw the white slivers light up under the black lights. On the back of Kyung Jiho's shirt was his name and on the arm was the Nightide emblem. The drum's symbols crashed and the next instrument joined. One by one, Nightide appeared on the stage with their parts. Hae Mina knew this was not her song to come in on because she had never been given a part.

Missy said, making eye contact with Christine. I looked at Nate and he winked. Missy must have worn her sassy panties down here, and I fucking loved it. I also loved the name, Shadow Village. It was perfect. I didn’t even care that we hadn’t discussed it. “Well we hadn’t planned for there to be … someone else,” Christine said, slowly. “Meaning … you … had planned to be by their side,” Missy said, fully reading the tone in that statement. Without another word Missy stood up and pushed in her chair. I heard vehicles pulling up outside.

The elevators opened to a very beautiful office with very similar interior style as the lobby, only the brights limes and striking silvers were replaced with dark mahogany, black and dark brown cow-hide leather accent and office chairs, a white linen sofa perched on top of a pedestal off to the left near an obscure door and large wall to ceiling windows that overlooked the entire city. I sat down in the chair opposite an empty desk white waiting for the Liam to arrive. It was eerily quiet in here, everything all stuffy and neatly packed. Even his desk was well organised with piles of documents to one side and ready and organised documents, I assumed, in a black wire basket on the other. “To

Climbing out of the car I try not to stare at the “good looking man” at the pump across from me. As I’m trying not to look like a complete stalker while filling up the car I see a flash of movement out of the corner of my eye. Turning slowly I see a familiar car pulling in behind me. Oh no, Nick.

the girl in ponytail said cheerfully and twirled. "What are you talking about?," Iktanne replied, completely baffled. The girls looked at her with a bit of confusion at her remark but wasn't bothered by it. "You see, Iktanne-sama, some of our relatives live in the northern province of Japan. Right now, our Empire's northern barracks have detected anomalies that involve about one and a half dozen of Giant bandits attacking villagers from there. Remember the sudden appearance of a tsunami a couple of weeks ago? General Gary of the North barracks sent a report to the Academy that those bandits were the ones responsible for that happening," the girl in pigtails explained.
