Go Back To The Shadow Novels & Stories

Willow applied pressure to her arm with a piece of paper while Roy gripped the steering wheel tight, his knuckles white. Sierra’s call came in halfway down the road, and she sounded panicky. “Roy, the candle we lit for Melanie in the church is flickering for no reason. I think it’s about to go out. Can you check it out? I’m worried.” Roy slammed the brakes and replied, “I’m heading back.

Alexis shouted, “how will I know who is coming to help us?” “Keep your eyes on the Shadows.” She whispered as she faded away. “What? Keep my eyes on the Shadows? What the hell does that mean?” She whispered to herself. Mary frowned, “Hhhuummmm...I have no idea. I guess we’ll just hafta to keep a lookout.” Mary shrugged with a smile. “Do you still want to go with me?”

But the more I pulled, the more complicated everything became. At midnight, my phone buzzed again. *“The mirror shows what’s hidden. Look closer.”* I glanced at my reflection in the windowpane. The woman staring back at me was pale and exhausted, but her eyes burned with a quiet determination. Slowly, I moved closer, finger trailing the cold glass. And then I saw it — a flicker, subtle but unmistakable. A shadow moving just behind my reflection, a shape that didn’t belong. My heart skipped. ---

“You’re drooling, Little River.” He teases lightly, and I flush. “Sorry” I murmur, but before he can say anything, something moves beside him and moves towards me as if coming in for a hug. I scream and jump back, only to take a close look… What in the Dr. Facilier shit, is this? Is that his shadow casually coming my way? “I-uh-I…” “Back.” He says, and the shadow seems to deflate sadly and then retreat into his actual shadow.

Too late. The enemy was already pulling back. Boots pounded against the gravel path. Someone shouted in a thick Slavic accent. Engines roared to life. More gunfire—then silence. “They’re retreating,” Zayn muttered, watching the movement through the gaps in the hedge. “Falling back fast.” “No,” I said quietly, a knot of dread hardening in my gut. “They’re not retreating. They’re done.” He turned toward me. “What are you talking about?”

A girl in her early twenties, how disgusting Lionel? Jacky, here I come. You want to reap where you hadn’t sowed, Sorry but it won’t work. She stood up and left the place resolving in her heart what action to take next.

With a fierce determination, he fought through the visions of lost opportunities and missed chances, emerging with a resolve that burned brighter than ever. I faced my own shadow, a figure representing my fears of inadequacy and failure. It whispered insidious doubts into my ears, trying to erode my confidence. With every challenge it posed, I fought back with memories of my victories and the strength I had drawn from my allies. Slowly but surely, I forced the shadow back into the darkness from which it came. After what felt like an eternity, the shadows dissipated, and the forest began to return to its natural state. The trees parted, and the creature who had challenged us now regarded us w

She needed the boat to come back, but if the shadow brought it back, the shadows would outnumber the horses and they would be lost. "Nimuel come back." "Shadow and shadow on the boat." "Shadow come back. Get down on the shore." "Nexus and Khoral, jump on the boat, and cross the river." It was getting impossible to discern through the mist, and at every move, she had to squint to see if it's a friend on the boat. It was also hard to keep track of the number of shadows, low as they might have. Everywhere around her were shadows. "Khoral and shadow come back."

I shot a glance towards my mother to see how she’s keeping up but she’s looking at me shocked but I couldn’t distract myself from the shadow for too long. “What do you want?” I ask with a dual voice since I’m sharing the control with Lua. “You.” The shadow laughed. “You promised something and I came to claim it.” “Never promised you anything.” I answered him while my mates were getting closer to the house. “You silly girl, you did it in your past life.” The shadow dared to get closer to me and I took my chance. “That’s a shame, you should have charged me in the past life and not this one.” I say while lighting my body and punching the shadow hard, making it stumble back again but this time I
