Dark Places Novel Plot Novels & Stories

Hell, a dinosaur could stomp in front of me and I wouldn't notice because of the dark. My legs stopped only after a few final strides. I stopped walking and just stood. The cold air was making my body shiver badly. My head looked at the ground, and I felt a wet pool of thick liquid surrounding my foot. I saw blood, a lot of blood. On the grass, on my hands, on my clothes, and all-around despite the darkness as if a sudden light exposed those parts. The blood made me scream on the inside but my body didn't react. My eyes followed the trail of blood on their own and stopped suddenly. It took me a second to make out the body on the ground and flames suddenly appeared, burning the lifeless corps

The cold wasn’t just cold anymore. It was quiet. It was unforgiving. It was nothing. Estelle Winterbourne lay chained to the freezing snow at the heart of the Deadfall, and the snow had already buried her to the ribs. Silver burned under her skin where the traitor’s mark had been carved by her own father and lover. She felt empty. She felt numb. “ Finally got to get rid of you, Estelle. You have done well, you are no longer needed.” She still remembered the words that her mate, Darius said before plunging a dagger into back when she was unaware.

I park along the roadside, grab my gun, check the magazine twice, then shove an earbud into my ear as I start toward the funeral home. The moment I get closer, the sound of gunfire becomes clearer. “Boss, I can’t see everything,” Quinn says through my ear. “Too dark inside. If I send one of the drones in, they’ll spot it immediately.” I move faster, my boots crunching over gravel and broken glass. Ahead of me, shadows move between abandoned vehicles and cracked walls while bullets tear through the night. My men are already engaged in a full shootout. And the fact that Dahlia is trapped in the middle of it, when I can't tell if she's still alive or not, makes me hate that I don't have superpo

I turned to the very last page—the one my father-in-law had been writing the day he died. The page was blank, except for a single, trembling line of ink at the top. The Weaver knows the code. The Architecture is the Grave. I closed the book, the sound of the leather snapping shut like a gunshot in the quiet car. The "Day-by-Day" was gone. We were into the "Night-by-Night" now. And as the Suburban hit the open highway, the speedometer climbing toward ninety, I realized that the 300,000 words of our story were only just beginning to get darker. And as the grey Chicago rain began to lash against the windows once again—no, as the black North Woods ice began to coat our path—I realized that I was

I don’t have much food left and I’m starting to have to fill up my water bottles in the sink. Maybe they’ll just leave me here to starve, I thought. No, they said they wanted me, they have to want me for something … sex? I mean they hadn’t so far tried anything but what the hell else could they want? I took a lot of showers, since it was about the only time I felt normal. It was the only time I could close my eyes and feel like I was escaping, like I was home. I had been asleep for a while, there was no way to know how long. When I woke up it was pitch black in the room, those fuckers cut off the light!

Finally, I turned off the TV and tossed the remote on my mother's bed. As I lied down there, staring at the white ceiling, thousands of thoughts flashed through my head: first about my dad who died at the hand of a demon when I was six; then a sister 50 years older, whom I did not even meet, because a few years before my birth she ran away with the demon she fell in love with, which made her banned not only from the family but also the whole community in general; then I started to think of Johnathan - my beloved Johnathan. I remembered his gentle kisses, his touch on my skin... I plunged into dreams and almost felt him lying down next to me, but I knew it was only an illusion. Opening my eye

"If the woman wants to play games and ruin lives, then she best learn the rules of the game first. You know as well as I do—we play for keeps and leave no one alive." And that's how I had to approach this Darkness. With the idea and understanding that we would have to confront it head on, as it risked the lives around us. Lives. Not just Kait's. Not just Sam's or Lauren or Elisa or even Alissa. But there were so many more that she could be putting at risk, so many more that were just going to be caught up as innocent bystanders. First though, we had to dig in for the long haul of the hunt. We had to figure out who was really pulling the strings, and why; since it felt like there was more beh

"There’s a 'Blind Spot' in the basement of the Last Draft. It’s where the Author used to hide the 'Sub-Plots' he was ashamed of.
