Icebreaker Novels & Stories

“Stay back!” Mrs. Astor crumpled sobbing against the Mayor, who's stoic face looked twice as afraid. Natalie gripped my arm, nails drawing blood. Leo stood frozen, staring at Myles’ lifeless hand dangling off the mattress, then back at the game. For on the TV, Tristan lay motionless on the ice, crimson pooling beneath his head. The crowd roared, but the sound warped—distant, underwater. “Clear!” The defibrillator thudded. Myles’ body jerked.

She said while taking another pill. "Jack rea-"I was interrupted by another knock at the door. I got up and walked back over to the door expecting it to be one of the boys. "Ew can you just go away already..." I said opening the door annoyed then soon realizing it was room service. "Oh my lord I'm so sorry I thought you were someone else!" I exclaimed to the man standing in the doorway. "No no it's okay, here you are." He said handing us our ice cream. "Thank you"

"There are no guards here, Ezra! No throne! Just you and me and the girl you’re about to watch die!" "You're wrong," I countered, stepping forward—one slow, predatory inch at a time. I let the rain drench me, let the cold settle into my bones until I was as numb and lethal as the ocean itself. "I am exactly what I’ve always been. The man who breaks things. And you, Ivan... you’re already broken. You’re just too high on your own fear to feel the pieces falling off." "Shut up!" "Remember the club, Ivan? Remember how it felt when I shattered your ribs? That was a warning. This... this is the end of the Sokolov line."

Behind her, Raven adjusted the last of the gear: waterproof packs, encrypted transmitters, and the slim thermal cutters meant for ice tunneling. “This isn’t sabotage in the city streets,” Elise murmured, fastening her harness. “This is a fortress under miles of frozen ocean.” Raven didn’t look up. “Every fortress has vents. It’s about knowing where to cut.” Sophia nodded once. “Then we cut.” ---

“Andrius Moonshade.” Ivan wore a frosty grin on his face as he glared at Andrius. “This saber is named the Jade Breaker, and it has been with me for 30 years. It is forged using reinforced steel and metal. Quenched using the icy water of the far north, it’s so sharp that it cuts through metal like paper. One slash can freeze even your bones. It is a treasure that is unmatched in the world.” Then, he swung the saber softly. The glares from the blade almost blinded everyone, and a blast of frosty gale assaulted everyone.

Usually this was not a good sign, and if there was one thing I liked in this world it was to see Tom get screwed. I looked up in time to contemplate the spectacle. ““Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, It's home from work we GO” Then Tom was in the water, completely soaked and extremely confused. He had fallen face first into the water and onto the concrete, and his nose looked badly bruised. Anne came forward in distress to try to help and Nick was laughing in the corner, shouting and pointing "he's gone, he's gone" seemingly oblivious to Ethan and me.

Eric drove the car into a big entertainment company and parked the car. He turned off the engine and looked at Isabella through the rearview mirror, she had her earphones on and was pressing her iPad. He stared at her for a while before clearing his throat. "Miss Isabella?" He called but received no response. "Excuse me, Miss Isabella." He repeated but she was simply carried away. So Eric had to touch her knee which got her attention. She frowned when their eyes locked and removed the earphones.

She probably could, Malakai won't underestimate her but he could only pray that Eden would behave. It's been an hour since he's sent the cleaning crew and Eden never showed up. He looked to his right and saw the drawer that Eden broke into. He was quite impressed at how easily she did it. But then he looked carefully and his gaze landed on the floor. The earring Eden used. She must have dropped it, too concentrated on the gun. Malakai picked it up and looked at the back of it closely. It wasn't an ordinary earring, it had a knife-like back, like a hidden weapon. Cleaver. That's why Eden got in so easily.

Ericson uttered ecstatically to Denise as he reached for a bottle of champagne that was situated not far away from him ,inside the ice bucket"You are going to get blown the fuck away!" "OH MY GOD!"Denise squiled loudly , bouncing excitedly on the seat as she looked at Eric with wide eyes"Are we really going to LáBlanca? Like Dom LáBlanca?" "The one and the only"Ericson confirmed just as thrilled "OH FUCKK!"Denise screamed one more time, earning chuckles from the rest of us ,before turning her face towards Bani who was sitting between her and Nikhil"Did you hear that Bani? We are fucking going to LáBlanca! Oh god ,I've been wanting to go there like....since forever"

It comes at center ice. A bad pass. Too soft. Too obvious. I jump on it instantly. Breakaway. The crowd rises. Everything narrows. Just me. The puck. The goalie. Don’t hesitate. I don’t. I push forward, closing the distance. The goalie squares up. I fake left— Pull right— Lift. The puck snaps into the top corner. Goal. The arena erupts. Teammates crash into me again, shouting, laughing, adrenaline everywhere. But all I feel—
