Gravity Fall City Novels & Stories

I reached out, my fingers clawing at the empty air, but there was nothing to catch me. I saw the roof receding. I saw Marcus and Sienna leaning over the edge, watching me fall like I was nothing more than a piece of trash they had thrown away. They weren't crying. They weren't screaming. They were just watching. I fell through the dark. The wind tore at my hair and my dress. I saw the lights of the city flashing by—floor after floor of the building my father had built. I thought of my dad. I thought of how much I had let him down. I thought of my own heart, which had shattered long before I hit the ground.

Leo had been staying with Gavin at the Lacelle mansion lately, and he'd been growing increasingly curious about Gavin's older brother, who was known as a financial genius. "Alright. I'll be right back after I clean up for a bit," Leo replied, rubbing his temples. Just as Leo got up from the bed, he suddenly hissed aloud in pain when he stepped on something. Upon closer inspection, Leo realized that it was a button. He picked it up, figuring that the button had to have been torn off someone's shirt. For some reason, Leo decided to pocket the button. Then, he got into his car and drove back to the Lacelle mansion.

He pressed his forehead to mine, shaking, crying, clutching me like I was the only thing keeping him grounded. Another quake hit. The ground tore open further. The city seemed to fold inward like a collapsing card tower. The sky dimmed into a dying glow. I could feel the world pulling at us, tugging at our edges like we were becoming part of the glitch. And then the system voice returned, louder, colder, final. “Ten seconds remaining.”

Chapter 45: The City That Starts to Sink Valenfort was no longer just shaking. It was sinking. Not like a normal collapse where buildings fall and dust rises, but something deeper. The entire city felt like it was slowly being pulled downward, as if the ground itself had turned into water. Evelyn stood on broken stone, breathing heavily. Her sword, Hallowed Reaver, was still in her hand, but her arms felt heavier than before. The red cracks under the city kept expanding, forming shapes that looked too organized to be random.

I would look odd dressed in my suit especially with the blood stained cuffs from when I had inserted my hands in Karani’s rib cage earlier. I had to focus as the road blurred in front of me and I turned the volume on the radio up. Metallica’s Low Man was playing and once again the music spoke to my soul. I opened my window to let the cold air in. It felt soothing somehow as the cold air rushed over my face and into my lungs as I breathed it in deeply. Canada. This part was a lot like Alaska and I felt gravity pull me onwards.

What wish would possibly fix this shit heap? “I – I wish that Rose was never born a Fallen.” I said, hoping I don’t regret this decision. “Hmm. Interesting choice. Very well.” Gabriel said before clapping dramatically. I felt my body free fall, and everything turned black.

Killian hissed, his voice regaining its sharp, tactical focus as he leaned out over the drop, ignoring the dizzying height. High above the tip of the spire, where the upside-down city met the solid stone ceiling of our citadel's floorboards, three massive, black-iron rings were slowly uncoupling. With every sharp clack of a giant locking tooth sliding back, the ceiling above us—the very floor of our high hall, where three hundred of our people were still being evacuated—settled down by half an inch. If the inverted spire dropped its weight completely, it wouldn't just tear itself free. It would drag the foundation of the Northern Citadel down into the abyss along with it.

The driver started to load the things Jace had in the trunk. Hardy's three wolves watched the city below them with blazing eyes on the roof of one of the buildings not far from the station. Benjamin was not far from the three Hardy brothers, standing at the end of the building's roof barrier. His hair, face, and coat were swept away by the strong wind. He looked down at the bustling streets of Haridra City below. "I really miss the atmosphere of this city." Ben smiled widely. In the next second, Ben jumps off the roof of the building and floats down like someone who is about to fall.

I pleaded in a shaky voice, my knees suddenly felt weak, so I sat down, not minding that people were passing by and watching me. "Your mom collapsed and when the doctors examined her, they said she was getting worse and she had just a few weeks-" I didn't listen to the rest of what he had to say. I ran down the staircase as my chest tightened. I swallowed the lump in my throat as I kept pushing through the wind, running as fast as my little legs could carry me. Tears kept falling from my eyes but I didn't bother to clean them.
