Enderal The Voice From The Water Novels & Stories

I could hear the voices around me asking if it was the best thing for me, if they were doing the right thing but Tana’s voice topped them all, coming in clear and confident, telling them that it was best until I was old enough to take back the Royal position. The hands put me down on a comfortable bed and Tana tells me that I will feel better in the morning and as the door closes I hear the familiar sound of the lock turning. As I lay unable to move, I scream and shout in my head for Daryl when I finally hear him, he was barely a whisper but he was there. “Where are you Ashley?” “I don’t know, they knew me and they put something in my water. I can’t move” “Ashley, can you hear me?”

That would be proof enough to get paid for the job and she could probably sell it for an added profit. Then, she heard a noise that sounded like a deep pop and suddenly she was all but drowned in a heavy shower of water that knocked her to her knees. Flailing her arms against the torrent she sputtered until finally it let up. Her hands flicked and then swiped the water and remaining spider goo from her face as she vehemently whipped around. Kendrick had produced what looked like a leather canteen of water and had dumped it over her. "You son of a bitch! What was that for?" she shouted angrily, looking like the embodiment of the titular phrase 'madder than a wet hen'.+

“Stop—” My hand slams into the tap cap, and suddenly, water bursts from the showerhead, drenching us both in seconds. Alderon doesn’t stop. If anything, the water makes him wilder. His lips are on my throat now, his fangs dragging against the sensitive skin, sending a violent shiver down my spine. His breath is hot, heavy, his growl reverberating against my pulse. “You reek of him.” His voice is low, guttural.

I am standing at the bottom of a lake. I push my hand forward. The water moves against my skin like heavy silk, but my ribs don't ache. My chest doesn't leak blood. "Hello, Adriel." The voice is high. A sharp, melodic giggle that echoes directly inside my ear canal. I turn my head, my eyes straining against the green tint of the water. There is nothing but empty depth. "Who is that? Show yourself." My voice comes out perfectly clear. The words don't bubble. They don't drift.

The water gathered in the lower seams trembles into tiny standing waves. Trust speakers cut mid-command. Finished line mirrors pause for one fraction of a second, all twelve heads turning toward the stack. Vance’s harvest feed fills with error columns. The Director’s voice goes sharp. So do the people. The tame ones near the coolant housing press hands to their ears. A woman drops to her knees and vomits water. Nell wakes crying again, not from pain this time but from the pressure change, tiny hands clawing at Hale’s collar. The silver light makes skin look bloodless.

A sharp pain exploded in the back of my skull, followed by a warm trickle of liquid seeping down my neck. Darkness swallowed me whole. When I came to, I found myself back in the villa where Lucas and I had spent our early days as newlyweds. Lucas was there, his expression unreadable as he handed me a glass of water. I drank it without a word. Drowsiness crept in almost immediately, and I sank back into the bed, my body surrendering to exhaustion. Half-conscious, I caught the sharp scent of alcohol and felt someone fumbling with my clothes.

Lay your heart next to mine, let the end begin… The surface is losing, the water will win. I’m everything promised, I’m all that you need, Your only truth, your final creed. Manolya… mmm… ooh… Manolya. Descend to me… descend to me… The waves will claim you, soft and slow, Six thousand fathoms... forever below. Come down to me… come down to me… Manolya… ooh… Manolya.”

The fleshy walls tore open, and a torrent of boiling, purple water flooded the chamber. "Kaelor! Vladya!" Aradaa screamed, reaching out as the current swept them toward the dark. The last thing Aradaa saw before the water swallowed him was the Triton leader’s smile. "Welcome to the New Format, Scholar."

Kaden stuttered with difficulty. Since Conri was barely conscious, Caddel dipped his hand voluntarily into his pocket. But withdrawing his hand out, he didn't bring out the bottle. But … “Isn't that the antidote? Did it fucking break!” Caddel screamed in horror as they gaped at his blue fingers.

Command the Endorian to do my bidding. 'It will be my pleasure, Shedim,' she replied, licking her lips and, with a simple nod of her head at me, the water erupted inside, its alien touch spreading quickly through my body until I thought I would burst. I screamed as it streamed from my eyes, my ears, my nose. I choked on it as it poured into my throat and out of my mouth. It was coming again, and I couldn't stop it. 'The water is everything,' the Naiad said. 'The water is power. The water is your mistress and it will never let go, Endorian. Stand now and do as it commands.'
