Hidden Deep: Book Novels & Stories

She slowly steps inside, no trace of Merfoy even his shadow. “Hello? Merfoy? Why is it so dark in here?” she said lowering her voice. She suddenly heard a loud thud in the right corner, it was from the bookshelf. It was so dark that she can’t see a single thing. She step into a book and picked it up. “Is this Merfoy’s magic book?” she thought as she opened it, it suddenly produced a light that struck her eyes and lit the corner where she is standing. The pages moved on their own as it suddenly stops, she read what was written on the page.

As Alexander and I explored the depths of our newly acquired mansion, we stumbled upon a hidden door concealed behind an intricately carved bookcase. Intrigued by the discovery, we exchanged excited glances and approached the mysterious entrance, our curiosity piqued. With a gentle push, the door swung open, revealing a hidden library bathed in the soft glow of flickering candlelight. The air was thick with the scent of ancient parchment, and the shelves were lined with rows upon rows of weathered books and delicate scrolls.

"What do you suggest we do, my Lord? How can we ensure our secret remains hidden?" A devious smile crept across Lord Arcturus' face as he formulated a plan. "We must be more discreet than ever before, my dear. No more late-night rendezvous, no more moments of vulnerability. We shall become shadows in the darkness, whispers in the wind. Our act must remain hidden, buried deep within our hearts."

His expression remained flat, stiff, and emotionless, like a mask that had been worn for too long to be removed. He lowered his head again, pretending to be busy reading the menu, scanning the rows of images and descriptions of food in the book. But his mind was no longer there. His thoughts had drifted far away and been swept back to several years ago. Trapped once more in an old wound that had never truly healed, despite his efforts to forget and make peace with everything. A wound he had been forced to bury deep within the memories of his younger sibling. He had kept it locked away in a dark, empty closet of his mind. But today, without warning, that closet opened on its own.

One slip would ruin me. Not when suspicions were already rising. Not when Darius Blackthorn was casting his shadow so close next to mine. "You all right?" Darius asked as he breezed in and sat beside me. "Yeah..." I hissed as he rubbed the ointment on my wound. "Good. Now about the whole couple thing..."He let the sentence hang, and I squirmed in bed. The Hide That Binds Gossip swirled around me like that second skin which, once added to a body, could never be

I kept walking toward the back wall then I saw something strange. A soft golden glow appeared between two massive bookshelves I walked past a thousand times. It was a hidden section. The books here looked ancient, their leather spines shimmering faintly. Titles like The Touch of Shadows, Bound by Moonlight, and Whispers After Dark seemed to pulse with their own light. My fingers trembled as I reached out and pulled one book from the shelf. It felt warm, almost alive. I was so curious to see so I opened it slowly.

His silhouette dissolved like smoke, leaving only the faint echo of his words. "The catacombs are behind the fourth bookshelf. Press the golden spine. The King is waiting." I stood there, trembling, the photograph pressed against my chest. My mother's smile. My mother's betrayer. The fire inside me didn't burn hotter. It turned to ice. A cold, diamond-hard resolve settled in my bones. I turned toward the fourth bookshelf. My fingers scanned the spines until they found the gold—warm to the touch, pulsing with an ancient, hidden power.

They were still dancing, but no one was paying them any mind. She felt like she was going to throw up. "I was going through some of my father's old books, the ones that speak of wolves. I came across a new one that was hidden deep within the back of the library underneath a mountain of his old books. See, the wolves have been quiet for the past few months, not attacking villages or livestock, and I was hoping to figure out more. The book was filled with information like I had never read before. It was obviously information that very few are privy to. It might very well be the only book of its kind."

There were no other things except for the book. Right! It was one of the ten secret treasures of the realm, ‘The Sacred Book Of Answers’ or also knows as, ‘The Oracle'. “Do you know why I brought you here?” Diamond shook his head and stared at his uncle’s hands when he held the floating book on his grip easily. From what he knew, that sacred book has its own soul and it would punish the person with a dark intentions. If the book don’t like the person's soul and he will hold it, it would instantly burn him alive even the kings with powers.
