House Of Leaves 소설 & 이야기

The blood moon hung low over Ashfang camp, casting an eerie red glow that bled through the towering pines. Shadows twisted and lengthened, the forest around us alive with whispered fears and restless spirits. It was a night heavy with ancient power — and a night that promised no peace. I stood at the edge of the clearing, the weight of the pack pressing behind me, their eyes reflecting firelight and uncertainty. The pup inside me stirred with a steady heartbeat, a steady pulse I clung to amid the growing chaos.

The lady flicked her fingers, and he suddenly felt an extensive amount of energy getting out of his body; he was feeling light and relaxed. Again, he heard the eerie chants of this woman, and for a moment, he thought that his imagination was getting out of hand when the lady vanished from his sight in just a blink. And before he could even react, his eyes pulled him to doze off. THE sight of dried palm leaves roofing came to view when Eleand woke up. He was dumbfounded upon realizing that he was inside a small room with the smell of fresh flowers. He was not sure of how long he had been asleep.

He flashed us a cryptic smile. I gulped hard, eyeing the house. It looked truly haunted, occupying a significant space on the side of the dock. The windows and walls looked as though they had been forgotten through time. Giant bats and gargoyles manned the threshold and roof. “We can choose another booth,” Liam said when I kept eyeing the house. Shaking my head, I tugged him back when he was about to leave. “No,” I stated. “Let’s go. This is perfect.”

Their class had already started and everyone was listening to their teacher while Sam peered out the window he saw the tree house outside the classroom. "Claire ..., I hope what I heard isn't true." Sam thought. She was surprised to see the black shadow in the tree house. "What is the shadow doing here?" Sam whispered. The black shadow has long lived in the tree house. Sam didn’t know that the black shadow she saw in the tree house and the black shadow in their house were different. The black shadow in the tree house was so bad. While Sam was looking at the black shadow in the tree house, suddenly one of her classmates passed by her so she lost sight of the black shadow.

Black as the darkest night hair against a crisp linen pillow, brown skin against a blindingly white sheet, and tiger’s eyes burning with deliberate cruelty and triumph into hers. In horrified rejection of the imagery that had sprung into her mind, Lara Anderson shuddered violently, dimly aware that she was still in the grip of severe shock. Abruptly, she was dredged from her turmoil by the insistent shrill of the telephone in the hall. Reluctantly she answered the summons, carefully shutting the lounge door behind her so that her father was not disturbed.

With his devilish good looks and a laugh like that, I knew I was in danger even without everything else that had happened before this. "Come on now. Time to eat." Emmett declared as he led me out of the room, leaving no space for argument. I took in the dark green walls that seemed to be a theme throughout the entire house if you could even call it a house. The place was massive, as big as a mansion. A black runner spread through the hall and down a set of stairs leading to a grand entrance. A chandelier that must have cost a fortune hung from the ceiling. It was huge enough to dance on just like the light did on the intricate placements of crystals, allowing the light to reflect beautifully

Or even my pack. This was not my room. I repeated springing awake and staring in awe. The room was way bigger than the small bedroom of mine at the Packhouse. The red drapes against the black stone.. Except that wasn't stone. It was obsidian. Obsidian was rare and extremely valuable yet durable all the same. I had heard the stone was able to last for decades against all kinds of plunders. Who in their right mind had enough gold to spend on an obsidian room? I groaned rubbing my temples feeling as though the shadows stretching along the wall was watching me. I eyed it warily along with the strange room. Where in Goddesses name was I?

She looks up at me when I move toward one of the shelves, picking a book at random, and sit down. “What are you doing home so soon?” “Nothing,” I reply, and it’s the honest truth. “I’m doing absolutely nothing.” I open the book, flipping through a few pages while the house whispers around us, sending a soft gust of air skittering around the room. I smooth a page down, but the spirit of the house, in a playful, annoying mood, sprints around me–a phantom of silent chaos. A single page rustles before falling flat, and it’s a picture of a forest, lightning bugs dancing, blinking in the gaps between trees.

Only the moment she stumbled inside the said room a loud, shrill scream erupted from within her lips, the glass of water quickly breaking into million pieces as it fell to the hardwooden floor. There, in the dim lighting of a floor lamp stood the tall silhouette of a male, dressed into a neat black tuxedo that snugly fit his lean physique, the top hat adorning his head faintly shadowing his heavily painted face, making his appearance all the more frightening as she stared, completely frozen. Black smokey shadows circled his dark eyes, starkly contrasting that white smearing the rest of his features and that deep, burgundy red over his lips, stretched into two fine lines across his cheeks, hi

"Ian, stop being mad already, okay? If you keep this up, people will only laugh at us. I already had your work card reactivated, and your spending limit restored too. You should be satisfied now." Alas, the only thing that answered her was dead silence. After waiting for what felt like forever, June finally lost all patience and went to the administrator for the spare key. The moment the door opened, her eyes widened in disbelief. My dorm room was completely empty. The blanket on the bed had been folded neatly, but a thin layer of dust had already settled over it. The cabinets that used to be packed with my belongings now sat hollow and bare. Even my toothbrush and towel were gone from the s
