Crooked Tree Novel Novels & Stories

Why does this man always interfere with his life? "I say once again, get out of my territory!" The cold attitude he gave out made all his opponents tremble. But that doesn't apply now. "I didn't enter your territory. Look!" The man pointed at the big golden-leaved tree. A different tree than others. A large golden scratch encircled the tree's trunk and a gaping hole. The scratches were like golden ink, and those immortal beings could only read ' The Lightcrown Claws Pack.' Not only that, a large hole that even a few squirrels just got into it gave off a fragrant scent. A kind of fragrance of several types of flowers converges there. Because of this, many are interested in entering its territ

The sound of soft weeping draws my attention to one of the few remaining trees on the lot, a large, aged oak that at this distance I can see a patch of pale skin contrasting with the tree's wood. I change the course of thoughts of the past with the inopportune curiosity of discovering who is hiding, I look over my shoulder confirming the endless line of associates sucking up to the most important new name within the mafia, with his pet dog beside him feigning pain with the loss. The funereal atmosphere is not strange, the cold wind raises some fallen leaves despite the clear sky at that moment the announcement of the storm lurks around the corners like the darkness in my chest, hidden by the

We don’t have too many of these moments to bond together left, at least not for just the two of us. “I’d like that.” ________________________ In the early hours of the morning, a cloaked figure slinks through the dense trees of the Novan forest, a canister of some unidentified substance in one hand, and a book of matches in the other. They move through the woodlands as quietly as a ghost, leaving no tracks behind them, only a steady stream of noxious liquid spilling from the can.

The black crow symbol seemed to grow more prominent with each step I took, leading me deeper into the woods. Finally, the path opened up to a clearing in the woods, and I found myself standing in front of an old tree. The tree seemed ancient, with gnarled roots that spread out in every direction. And then I saw it - a small crevice in the tree, just large enough for me to slip my hand into. I hesitated for a moment, feeling a sense of trepidation creeping up on me. But then I remembered the promise I had made to myself earlier in the day, and with a renewed determination, I slipped my hand into the crevice.

But the witch made it seem like magic, and, to her, I supposed that it was. “There were attacks,” Kathrena breathed, breaking me from my reverie. “And at every crime scene there was a white tree with a black smear on it, like a handprint.” “Keep reading,” I said, nodding at the book. Kathrena flicked her eyes at me – a half-roll – but she quickly re-focused her gaze on the worn pages.

Not knowing proved better. Michael threw his foot onto the fallen tree—it groaned under his weight. His sneaker covered in mud and the green ink of crushed leaves. Leapt over it. Landed on his knees. Out of sight. The Beast stepped into the clearing. The tree was long and bulky. A blackened crack ran its length from where a lightning bolt had likely struck it down. Because the clearing wasn’t even, the tree propped up, creating a space between its bark and the ground, like a storage unit under a flight of stairs. With the branches and vines hanging along its sides, it made for the perfect hiding spot, a convenient tent for Michael to slide under.

He sat on the frozen floor and cried the way men cry when they realize the war was never against the machines; it was against what they themselves had poured into them. That night he loaded the gun, pressed it under his chin, and counted heartbeats. One. Two. Seventy-three. On seventy-four he lowered the barrel, because the tree had opened one fruit while he wasn’t looking. Inside were seeds arranged in the exact shape of Eden’s handwriting: COME HOME WHEN YOU CAN BE GENTLE AGAIN. He left the gun on the table. He left the morphine. He took the tree (wrapped the pot in his only spare shirt, carried it against his chest like a child) and walked south through the ash winter until he found a sno

It was as if when the Alpha helped me get this apartment, he knew I would use the tree more than the door. My fingers grazed the bark as I inhaled deeply. This was where I truly excelled. Up here in the tree, it was the only gift that Kroll gave me. I never even wanted this, but he forced it down my throat. At the time, it was such a bitter pill to swallow. However, up here in the trees, I had freedom. I bet my lovely Uncle never expected that. I jumped to another tree, making my way slowly through the town. If it was any other day, I would probably just pick the lock on at Rose's library, but not today.

The witch looked at the crone. "Good luck, please make sure you'll return." The witch said. A portal opened, and a shiny light made the crone blinded. Lucifer took a timer with flame symbols. The crone made her way to the portal. A magical tree stood upon her. She was amazed at what she saw. She ran to the tree and cut a branch with a knife. The water-like liquid slowly showed up and she catches it with her bowl. The crone smiled at the liquid. It's the tree's resin.
