Clan who started laughing as well- Lavina joined in and lifted her cup to her lips. Lola stood bewildered, staring at the women who sat with their pinkies stretched out from the cups, pearls pretty around their necks, and laughed with their mouths but it didn't quite reach their eyes. She was pulled out of the living room but Melissa and they disappeared down the hall. “Thank god. Any longer and I would've suffocated in there.” Melissa said and massaged her throat. They closed the door to the so-called Hideaway which was a room filled with historic artifacts related to the founding of Wild Cliff. The room also doubled as a small library with scripts, books, ro

AVA R. -*- The journey to the village is quiet, the rhythmic crunch of my steps the only sound accompanying me. Just ahead, the cobbled roads emerge from the mist, marking the end of my long trek. Nestled far from the relentless hum of city life, the town is an ideal sanctuary—a place where werewolves can vanish into the crowd, their existence masked by the mundane. A perfect execution of "hiding in plain sight," if what I've read is to be believed.

"Until I figure out how to deal with Silas, we have to stay hidden. He won’t rest until he has you, Sophia. And I can’t let that happen." Sophia nodded, but the unease in her chest didn’t subside. She couldn’t shake the feeling that they were running toward something darker, something they couldn’t escape. --- **The Hideout – The Darkest Corner of Safety** Several hours later, they arrived at a secluded cabin deep in the mountains, far from the reach of anyone who might recognize them. The location was isolated, the perfect place for a hiding spot. But as Sophia stepped out of the SUV and looked around, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread creep over her. The place was quiet, almost t

I whisper, and the creature holds up a finger before stepping towards a bright panel. It presses something and steps back toward me cautiously. "Please remain calm," it says, and my eyes widen. "Where's my Mam," I question as my muscles instinctively prepare for pain. "Your Mam is on Earth. You have been transported to Kea. My home planet. Your illness and injuries have been healed. You have been sent from your planet to participate in a Harvest tournament. I am your correspondent, Jali (jail-ee). My job is to inform you of rules and traditions relating to the Harvest. I understand you have many questions, but your body needs sustenance," the alien says and my brain practically explodes.

“I'd heard Kelvin speak of it. Back when I was imprisoned… before I escaped. He mentioned it several times.” I took a step closer. “Mentioned what, Gwen?” She exhaled, her fingers curling at her sides. “Morgan’s sanctuary. A place hidden by magic, shrouded in death. He called it "the Hollow Keep.” “The Hollow Keep?” Asher repeated, frowning. Gwen nodded. “It’s an ancient fortress deep within the Wyrmwood Valley, cloaked in shadow magic and sealed from the outside.” No one goes in. No one comes out.”

Vines and tall grass did a fantastic job of concealing it, while the interior boasted a hidden generator and a sweet wireless setup, all cleverly disguised by old potting tables and rusty tool hooks. The seemingly rough wooden floor held a secret – a trapdoor leading to a secondary safe room underground. And just for good measure, there was even an escape route snaking through the sewers and emerging in a ditch by the nearby woods. As Aldrich had once explained to Greyson, a well-placed hideaway could be a lifesaver in a pinch.

This was my haven, a secret space where no one could find me—away from everything, from the pressures of my role, from the expectations that weighed on me. In my hands, I held the book I had stolen from the secret library. It was bound in dark leather, and its pages crackled with age. I had barely managed to slip it from its hidden resting place without anyone noticing, and now I was finally going to read it. The title was unassuming, but the stories it held, the knowledge it promised, stirred something deep within me.

“This should be fun.” Evelyn ignored him, pulling the burner phone from her pocket. “You have a safehouse?” Jonah nodded. “You need it?” Evelyn hesitated before nodding. “For tonight.” Jonah tossed her a set of keys. “Warehouse on 10th. No one will find you there.” Evelyn caught them, then turned back to me. “We’re leaving. Now.” Jonah watched us for a moment, then gave a lazy salute. “Try not to get killed before the favor’s done.”

" Due to this incident, the kindergarten was closed as an emergency measure. There was no one around now. The usually noisy kindergarten was eerily silent today. I had a bad feeling about this. "Let's split up and search for them!" Officer Jenkins said. However, that was also when the lights in the kindergarten turned off. Only one light was left turned on. A rose-red hugging bear was standing under the light. Its eyes were red as it spoke in an electronic voice. "I've hidden your children somewhere. You can save them if you find them in 30 minutes. Any longer than that and you can prepare to collect their corpses."
