Chemical Guys Black Frost Novels & Stories

The Jackals had arrived. ​The heavy steel doors at the far end of the warehouse began to screech open, moving on rusted tracks. The fog rolled in, thick and white, and out of the mist stepped a figure that made Vivienne’s blood turn to ice. ​Arthur Blackwood walked into the center of the warehouse, his silver hair gleaming under the overhead industrial lights. He wasn't alone. A dozen men in matte-black tactical gear fanned out behind him, their red laser sights dancing across the crates like hungry insects.

As it swung open, everyone froze in shock. "Bring her out!" Ean barked. One guard hesitated. "Mr. Smith, the freezer... It seems to have turned on." Ean's expression twisted in anger. "What do you mean turned on? Are you trying to shirk responsibility?" He stepped forward, the cold air hitting him like a physical blow, sending chills down everyone's spine. His face went pale. "Madeline, don't think that this will make me forgive you. Get out here!"

The creature paused, snarling, confused. I let the cold build inside me. Alba tried to guide me, Shape it, Aury. Don’t just unleash it— Too late. A torrent of blinding ice shot from my hands, slicing through air and bark and everything in its path. The demon reeled, stumbling backward as the frost cut deep into its flesh. But the ice didn’t stop. It kept going, arcing wild, smashing through trees, freezing ground and roots and nearly grazing the small boy still huddled near the battlefield.

The air in the Briarwood locker room was heavy, wet soup—old sweat, the strong smell of sports tape, and the fancy cologne the guys used to cover up the rink smell. Outside my stall, the other Knights were a mix of loud voices, slamming locker doors, and high-fives. Loud rap music with heavy bass played from a speaker in the corner, shaking the floor and my feet. It was meant to be a fun time after skating, but it didn't help with the silence in my mind. “Voss! Are you planning on living in there, or are we going to the Liquid Lounge?” I didn't look up. I knew the voice. John, our goalie and my oldest friend. I could hear the steady clack-clack-clack of his skates as he finished unbuckling h

​The Neutral Zone was a chaotic, beautiful riot of flickering neon and stagnant filth. The heavy, cloying smell of cheap synthetic meat and ionized ozone filled the stagnant air, creating a sharp, sickening contrast to the crisp scent of pine and damp earth we had left behind in the forest. We pushed our way into The Den, a notorious sub-level bar where the bass from the music was loud enough to vibrate the very bones in my chest. The patrons here were mostly ghosts of their former selves, too high on "Glow"—a terrifying new street drug made from distilled, illegally harvested wolf-blood—to even care who walked through the heavy iron door.

"LOL. That's just a subsidiary, and if he ever runs the entire Harrington Corporation, they will probably go bankrupt within a year." "I'm just curious why they chose a freezer. Was a bed too mainstream for their kink?" Mockery darted at Tristan spread across the Internet. As he read the comments, he furiously smashed everything in the living room that he could get his hands on. Face flushed, he roared, "What do these idiots know? What gives them the right to say that I can't compare to Ethan? "I'll have my lawyers sue them all; every single one of them can go to jail!"

“Zara, this is Blackthorn. Everyone knows everything.” That wasn’t comforting. “At least tell me where you’re going,” she added. I hesitated. Then... “The Forbidden Club.” Silence. The kind that made my stomach tighten. Avery’s expression changed completely. “Wait,” she said slowly. “You’re serious?” “Why?” I asked. “What is it?” She stared at me for a second longer.
