District 9 Book Novels & Stories

The coroner held the notebook up to the bright light, studying every word. After a long pause, he lifted his head, wearing a grim expression that weighed heavily in the room. "In the next life, I don't want to be Mom's daughter anymore." Mom froze, as if turned to stone. "The words in the victim's palm match this last statement. You can see what that 'don't' really meant now," the coroner said sharply. I hovered nearby and let out a quiet sigh.

I will let the letters let me. Like I said, my room is full of books. Algebra, geography, 21st-century Literature, and even dictionaries. I've read almost everything, and my life sucks. Sucks not to the point I have nothing to do, but I am a sucker. A sucker of all forms of knowledge. I just sit here and scan and sleep. But I don't find it boring or a run-on-the-mill. Maybe I am conspired to be like this, to do like this. Nothing is unprecedented. I went near the window and from here, I can see the grainfield and other parts of district G.

Was it because of what he had seen last evening? As she reached for a book on the shelf, her hand brushed against Liam's. She quickly withdrew her hand, feeling a jolt of electricity run through her body at the contact. Liam didn't even flinch or acknowledge the accidental touch. Maya sighed and continued her search for the book, but her eyes kept wandering back to Liam. He seemed so distant, so unreachable. Finally, she found the book she was looking for and made her way back to her table. Liam had already left the aisle and was nowhere to be seen.

His large frame was hunkered down in the corner of the room beside a small boy who was maybe eleven or twelve. He was the man who had asked what we will win. The boy beside him was visibly shaking, his face pale. The large man passed the boy his portion of cake we’d been given for dessert. “Take it,” the man said gently. Then he saw me watching him and motioned for me to come over. “That was very brave, what you did,” the man said. “I’m Tor. From District 5.” District 5 was the mining district, which would explain Tor’s muscular build.

After remembering for the eighth time that I am the real heiress to the wealthy Fletcher family, my brothers are about to hypnotize me again for the ninth time. My three older brothers, Dustin, Dominic, and Derek Fletcher, make me draw lots to decide the role that I'm going to have to assume after I'm hypnotized. The three lots are labeled "fake heiress", "the maid's daughter", and "the impoverished student the family is sponsoring". "Draw one." I don't move a muscle. Dustin's face turns grim first. "If you still want to continue living in the Fletcher household, Autumn, then stop trying to steal Daphne's identity away from her!" Dominic frowns and says impatiently, "Can't you be more

"The insulin manufacturing hub. We own the patents. We own the distribution. If we triple the price by midnight, the profit margin covers the lab costs for the next three years." "People will die," I said. "Statistical necessity," the Wolf-Mask rasped. "The mortality rate in District Nine is already forty percent. We simply accelerate the curve for the sake of the species." "Do we have a consensus?" Elinor looked at me. Then at Evangeline. I looked at the map. District Nine. The place where Vargo had found me. Where Mei used to play in the puddles behind the clinic. "Yes," I said. The word felt like a stone in my mouth.

Her face was soft and pretty, the kind of face people compared to a lily. But her eyes were sharp and calculating. And her smile made the hair on my arms stand up. I couldn't exactly refuse, so I let her walk me down the corridor. The second we reached the bathroom door, she leaned in close, her breath warm against my ear. "Ada, want to make a little bet with me? Let's both fall down at the same time. We'll see who Professor cares about more." Her stiletto came down on my broken leg. Pain ripped through me. I went white, cold sweat sheeting down my back, and I crumpled onto the floor.

Where I came from, it is normal politics is, a fucking do or die affair. I showed the address of the meeting to Mickey and he drove me down there. The weather was freezing cold, I could feel it in my bones. My joints felt numb and sore, even though I had a sweater and a jacket on. It made me realize how far from home I was. We cruised around town for a while before getting to the destination of the meeting, this made me see the beauty of the city, but that was the difference between London and Harmony city, London is beautiful on the outside, makes you unaware of the corruption, the danger and the evil perpetrated in the shadows. Harmony city on the other hand is not going to make you feel a

The old woman's words hung in the air long after she said them. "The Bride of the Ninth Life has returned." Nobody moved. Not Kai, Not Draven, Not even the servant. The whole courtyard had turned to stone around me, and I stood in the middle of it, shaking, with no idea why a stranger kneeling on cold marble made me feel like the ground had opened under my feet. Ninth life?? What did that even mean? I looked at Kai. His jaw was tight enough to crack. I looked at Draven. For the first time since I'd met him, he wasn't smiling.
