Hailstorm の小説・ストーリー

~ Hailey ~ The wind outside the penthouse howls like the opening scene of one of those K-dramas where everything is about to go horribly, beautifully wrong. The storm is worse now, rattling the glass like it wants to claw its way inside, swallowing up whatever fragile calm we still have left. But there is no calm. Not anymore.

Thunder rumbled across the sky. Then came the rain. Big, cold drops like stones. And then—hail. Ice crashed down, slamming into my arms, my head, my face. It hurt. God, it hurt so much. I tried to cover my head, but the hail kept falling. Harder. Louder. And I broke. I started sobbing. Not because of the heartbreak. Not because of the betrayal. Just because… the hailstones really, really hurt. I stumbled forward, blinded by tears and blood.

“Always quick to violence, aren’t you, Victor? You haven’t changed a bit.” Victor’s eyes narrowed. “I said talk.” The man chuckled darkly. “Fine. You’ve made some powerful enemies, Victor. They sent me here to remind you of that. But I have my own agenda.” Victor’s grip tightens on the gun. “And what might that be?” “To warn you. There’s a storm coming, Victor, and it’s bigger than anything you’ve dealt with before. They know about Olivia. They know about the baby.” Victor’s blood ran cold. “Who are ‘they’?”

By the time we reached the temple’s inner sanctum, a full-blown tempest had descended upon the town. Back in Silverwood Falls, the storm hit with brutal force. Gale-force winds tore through the streets, uprooting trees and ripping roofs from houses. Torrential rain turned the ground to mud, and lightning crackled across the sky, casting eerie, flickering light over the chaos. The storm was more than just a natural disaster; it was a supernatural onslaught, a manifestation of the dark omens we had feared.

His mild grimace wasn’t exactly encouraging. “What’re we gonna do about it?” he asked in a whisper. That was a first, the Haunter Supreme not having the answers. Not exactly a reassuring first. I mirrored his grimace, shrugging. I had no idea whatsoever. A furious gust of wind howled outside the window and we both looked up, just in time to see the sky open to an icy rain that soon turned into snow. Brandon brought his arm down from the back of the couch to hold me tight, kissing my temple.

“Um, what?” “Sorry, Gio no time to explain. You can either come with me or drive Lans back. He’s not medically cleared to drive right now.” I nod and helped Lans to his car and settled him in. As I closed his door, I heard the roaring of a motorcycle. Not just any motorcycle, it was a Kawasaki Ninja H2R. My eyes almost popped out of my head and I knew she was smirking at me as she saw the look on my face as she sped past me. Toni must’ve had the same look because I could hear Bianca, Julian and Lileth laughing. At least I know that she can handle speed. I was definitely getting her a car for her birthday which is in 2 months. Fuck! Need to get that order placed, customisation takes a while.

“Grr… what an unlucky day!!” Andrea cursed as she drove her motorcycle. It was raining cats and dogs due to heavy thunderstorm. She went outside to deliver her customers’ orders and she didn’t expect that she’ll finish it so late. It was reported in the news that there would be a tropical storm, so she delivered her goods as quickly as she could, but she didn’t ever think that the tropical storm would catch her at any moment. She speedily drove her motorcycle because she already felt the coldness on her back down to her spine when suddenly…

"You set the table while I light a fire." I turned on the battery-operated radio to listen to the weather while I lit the fire. "This storm is expected to last until midnight tonight," said the announcer. "You can expect heavy down pours. Flash flooding is also expected along creeks and rivers. No tornadoes have been spotted so far but this storm will be accompanied by strong winds and damaging hail."

It sensed the gateway. And then the storm hit. The massive, crushing wall of water and ice slammed into the valley, instantly drowning the front lines of the horde, their pale bodies swept away like leaves in the torrent. Jagged bolts of lightning, summoned by Tala's hands, hammered into the newly ripped fissures of the earth, collapsing entire stone arches. And the gale force wind, screaming with the voice of the glen, tore into the entities, freezing the water on their rubbery flesh until their bodies shattered under the extreme, sudden physical toll.

She'd already chosen a name. Joy Slater. All Ariel wanted for her was a happy life. Nothing else mattered. When the train arrived, Ariel immediately spotted her parents waiting outside the station. "Mom! Dad!" Her mother, Hannah Watson, burst into tears when she saw her daughter. "Ariel, you're so thin! What happened to you?" Pedro Slater's eyes reddened too. "It's all that bastard Remi's fault. Don't worry, sweetheart. I'll make him pay for this."
