Catty Corner Ice House Novels & Stories

Warm light spilled out onto the wet street. A sign above the door read “Charlotte’s Corner” in simple white letters. My heart beat faster as we pushed the door open. A bell jingled softly. The place smelled of paint and coffee. Canvases covered the walls showing city scenes and portraits full of color and life.

*Isla* Green eyes shine out from the darkness in the corner of the room. I hold my breath. I’d seen Antony lock the door. But we aren’t alone down here.

Stooping to scoop her up, I look at her little face. “Ginger,” I mutter. “So you are still alive.”

“Better you than me, Giles. I hate it down there, it’s so cold. This whole pack is grimy and cold.” “Aw, feeling homesick, Bennie?” “Shut up.” Cassy stopped listening. She knew she wasn’t going to get out the room past the door, even if only one guard stood outside. That only left the window that overlooked one of the lower floors of the packhouse. She had considered slipping out of it before, but she wouldn’t get far without being noticed. Now, she had a chance. But first, she had to change.

WRITER'S POV Catherina felt a lot of pain. As she struggled to stand up to go to out of the attic, she unknowingly teleported to the front of their house. She lay there almost lifeless.

A serious tornado had come up. The ground started shaking due to earthquake...

he was hesitant and wished he was wrong. "No, I'm not eighteen, Benjamin," she answered. "Miss Ice, what's your house look like? You forgot to describe it; it's been an hour since we were walking," Benjamin saw her stunned by his question. Maybe she forgot about the description of her house. "It's a big house, not a house; it's a mansion. We have a gate and the letter imprint on it. The gate color is black, and the color of the letter is gold," she describes. Benjamin was shocked. He knows that house.

“There’s a cat on the academy grounds. Of werewolves. And not to mention the hell hounds—” “Oh, no. She’s keeping the kitty in a safe place.” “I see.” I rubbed my arms, considering this. “Where, exactly?” “Outside. On the right courtyard. There’s a small trap door leading to a mini basement where they keep yard cleaning stuff that no one uses. You can check if you want. Just make sure the kitty doesn’t get out, for obvious reasons.”

This situation was already messy enough without me getting stuck in my head about it. He finally turned a little, just enough for me to catch his face when he thought I wasn’t looking. Cute. Really.

I felt a tightening between my legs and my pants began to bulge at the zipper. We pulled to a stop in front of the Iceclaw Packhouse. It was simple and functional, made from ancient stone and brick with moss and ivy covering it in spaces. It had a couple turrets on either side of the entry and extended to the left and right, in what I supposed led to various wings. The front door was an arched double door with a wrought iron handle. On either side of the door were white triangular banners with the Iceclaw crest in gold. The Luna and her in-laws were waiting for our delegation’s arrival at the bottom of the entryway steps. Several others stood on the first row of steps behind them.

He looked at Tommy with a nod. “You look very beautiful, America, congratulations to Vicky, it seems that she took care.
