Ellie In Chains Novels & Stories

It opened up to an old staircase filled with cobwebs and anything dirty you could think of. She made her way through different channels underground but still could not spot athing. It was also too dark to see clearly, only supporting herself to the wall. She had walked for almost ten minutes when she heard the sound of chains. She immediately turned around to a small compartment and saw what looked like a person tied up in a chain huddled up in a corner. "You finally came my dear," came the tired voice from the woman. Elise was shocked at this and moved closer, her eyes had adjusted to the darkness and could now see.

But the leader clamped his mouth shut, his jaw tight. Ellie appeared in the doorway, her small hand clutching Elara’s mother’s journal. The phoenix mark on her chest glowed faintly, casting red light over the stone walls. “He’s scared. Of the lady. Of the cave.” The leader’s eyes widened, and he pulled against the chains, his face contorted with rage. “You shouldn’t be able to do that. No child should wield such power. It’s unnatural.” “Natural,” Ellie said, stepping into the cell. She held up the journal, her golden eyes blazing. “Mamma’s book says fire is family. Like me and Mamma. Like the pack.”

"Don't think you can escape me. I told you, I have a system. You'll never get away." The officers later informed me that she would be held for 15 days. Yet, I thought that was nowhere near enough. After all, my entire life and work were rooted here. I was not about to abandon everything just because of some so-called system.

“Shit,” Ellie muttered under her breath, watching the man restrained against the wall inside the next room. Every time she sneaked into the viewing room it depressed her but she couldn’t stay away. She knew he couldn’t see her through the two-way glass and yet he seemed to be looking right at her. Her gaze skimmed over his bare chest and the straining muscles of his well-defined physique. His large biceps bunched while he pulled on the chains, rage evident on his features as he fought them.

He said as he stopped pulling at his chains and looked over at me. "What..?" I replied in a whisper, thinking he heard someone. "Ellie, you might not feel it right now, but your still in the process of turning... it's just the early stages". "Okaaay... what does that mean?" "It means that if anyone can rip these chains off, it's you! You're called a newborn Ellie, so you're going to have more strength during your turning phases than you'll ever have!" "But... but I've tried, they're not coming off!".

"We're different people. You can punish her some other way, but... please don't kill her. Spare her." My eyes stay low. I don't dare meet his. "Your wish," he says with a lazy shrug. That's all it takes. Ella drops like a sack of potatoes, gasping for air. Before she can crawl away, he snaps his fingers. White glowing chains burst from the floor like they were waiting all this time. They coil around her-torso, wrists, ankles-locking her in a glowing cocoon. Ella's scream echoes as the chains tighten and in a flash of white smoke-

"I loved the waiting. The anticipation of departure. The way humans gather at thresholds, holding tickets to unknown destinations. I loved it enough to refuse my return. The dark country permitted it. For a price." "What price?" "I am the warning." The conductor stood. Her uniform moved, though no wind blew. "I am what the Chain becomes if the debt is not paid. I have been here for a century, neither breathing nor released, counting tickets that lead nowhere, waiting for the one who would wear the Chain and understand what must be done." Eliana's throat constricted. "What must be done?" The woman extended a hand. It was pale, the skin translucent as parchment, and when it touched the Chain,

Chains: I got up this morning and got ready for my day but didn't know what I was doing anymore. Everyday it is the exact same thing everyday I get up take a shower and go to the diner to see her after that I head to the club. Nobody knows how I feel about her hell I don't even think she knows.

In a matter of time, the people at the cafe broke into whispers and mumbling. "Oh my God!", Hannah whisper-yelled. " Aiden Walters is back!" I saw him exit Blossombee taking one last look at me. "Who is he?", I asked Hannah, digging into my pancakes again. She looked at me with a serious expression and spoke " He is bad news, Haven.
