Hide Doors Novels & Stories

"Sub-level vault doors closing. Hydraulic seal in ten seconds." The massive, three-ton steel door behind Eli began to slide forward out of its concrete recess in the wall. The heavy tracks ground together with a high-pitched, automated screech that vibrated through the floorboards and rattled the loose teeth in Eli's jaw. The gap to the outer hallway was shrinking with every tick of the emergency timer.

The adrenaline from our conversation was still humming under my skin, but it was nothing compared to the thrill of what I was about to do next. I kicked off my flats, moving with absolute silence across the plush carpet of my room. I slipped into my walk-in closet, bypassing the racks of clothes until I reached the far back corner where my long winter coats and heavy evening gowns hung. Pushing the dense fabrics aside, my fingers searched the dark wood paneling until they brushed against the tiny, flush brass button I had discovered that afternoon. I pressed it. With a low, almost silent mechanical hiss, the hidden door slid open. The dim, amber motion-sensor LED strips instantly flickered t

But not tonight. I moved toward the other door, the one that promised escape. As I got closer, I could see it more clearly. Unlike the bookshelf entrance, this door was smooth and seamless, made of the same material as the walls. If you didn't know it was there, you would never notice it. And there, set into the wall beside it at shoulder height, was a small panel. Two buttons, clearly labeled: LOCK and OPEN. It was simple, elegant, and perfectly hidden unless you knew where to look.

Elaina watched as he lifted a small piece of the wall revealing a keypad. Expertly Elder Zacariah entered a code and stepped back as the sound of metal groaning filled the hall. The wall began to move upward, below it rose a metal door. It screeched as it continued rising until finally the wall that had been there minutes ago was replaced by two solid metal sliding doors. Another keypad sat right above a handle.

She mumbled she just remembered that he has all the spare keys to every single room in the house she quickly removed her back from the door as she ran and hide inside her wardrobe. "Now I got you" Handy yelled as the door went wide open he look around but couldn't find her. "Are you playing shit with me? he yelled checking every corner of the room. Kaira went numb as she continue praying silently for him not to see her she knew she is domed if he should find her. Handy remain silent using his eyes to roam the whole room then his eyes caught the wardrobe slowly he marched towards it and flung it open there he met his wife where she was hiding.

The hidden entrance was discovered behind an old storage room. A steel door concealed beneath shelves. No obvious markings. No visible handle. Only a hidden electronic lock. The kind designed never to be found. Hale bypassed the security in less than thirty seconds. The lock clicked. Loudly. The sound echoed through the silence. Nobody breathed. Then the door slowly opened. Darkness waited beyond. Absolute darkness. The kind that swallowed light. The kind that felt alive. Cassian immediately hated it. "Absolutely not." Nova pushed him forward.

Fresh limestone, reinforced iron doors, polished brass numbers that glinted gold in the sun… Whoever lived here had sunk serious money into this place. The garage doors were controlled through a keypad. Ryan input the code and the heavy steel doors grated open. Or at least I expected they would. There was not a single sound made by the doors. They slid up silently, and very quickly and when Ryan drove inside, it slid back down even more quickly without any further prompting from him and shut without so much as a click. Every one of my senses were on high alert now. That was no ordinary door. It served a purpose. I scanned the house as best as I could from the distance I was, trying to pick o

While the maid service for the place were all members of the Striker clan, the hidden door kept interlopers from finding their way into the basement. Riley was waiting for me by the closet. We slid the hanging items to the side, and I pressed my palm firmly against the hidden panel in the back, watching it give way and slide to the side for us to make our way down to the holding cells. The open door allowed the sounds of pained howling to travel into the space. My grandfather had installed sound proofing and we had updated it as new technology became available. No sound from below could carry to the main house except through the open door.

“Excellent point. Let’s find out. Gents, if you’ll be so kind to take on those hinge pins and see if we can’t get this foolish door open. I’m sure everyone is like me and is interested in what’s on the other side of these doors.” Ty made everyone step back while two shifters came forward with equipment to remove the door’s hinge pins. It took several minutes, and Mikey stopped the video while they worked. Once there was noticeable success, he started up the video again and explained what they did off camera. Four hinges per door. That’s what they found on all five doors. Ty figured it would take forever to get all the doors opened. So, he sent the two wolves on to repeat what they’d done to
