Kite Runner Novels & Stories

Half the bowl pivoted in his direction. “Right,” Jake said to the weather, to the city, to the part of himself that had always known this day would come. “We do it your way.” He ran. He ran along a gutter that had forgotten what to do with water, over a skylight that flinched, across a sagging clothesline where someone’s shirts learned about storms. Behind him, claws took purchase where human feet shouldn’t. Ahead, a narrow span waited over an alley that didn’t care if you missed.

I’m still staring at her when I see a tornado starting to form around her, which causes me to panic until I realize she is the one creating the tornado. “Catch me if you can fellas” she says before the tornado starts to carry her away. That’s when I finally kick him into gear and start chasing her. Me and Saint are running neck and neck at our top speed and she is still at least half a mile away from us on her little tornado. Finally, I see her starting to lower herself to the ground, which makes me pick up speed. Me and Saint get there first followed by Zion. It takes our warriors a couple minutes before they catch up to us as well and we all circle my mate.

"I was a bastard, Helen—the worst of them all." She reached out and pressed her lips to his. Then she gently stroked his cheek and wiped away the tear rolling down his face. "You weren’t a bastard. You’re just a human being who went through pain and misery. I was immature, too. I didn’t know how to face reality. If I had known, that first day I ran from the church, that you were the great love of my life, I would’ve gone back. But unfortunately, humans are like that—we think we can solve everything. And it’s not true. Life is unexpected."

It is because of all these wrongs that I ran and will keep on running. The safe-haven I call the town line finally comes into view, bringing renewed hope into my being. I take the chance to pick up speed and rush into the safety net. I feel some resistance at first as if some invisible force is trying to keep me out, but I keep pushing forward, and soon I am safely across, relief causing my nerves to settle down. I turn around to face my pursuers with a smug grin, slowly walking backwards as I take in each of their faces.

And now he laid gasping for air, blood-covered from head to toe. “Who did this?” He asked. And the young man tried to speak but his throat was shattered and his chest smashed. What a cruel way to die, Zeeb thought. But who could have done this? And how could they have done this? Zeeb uses pain absorption on Lucas. To help him get through the pain somehow. Maybe just enough, so he can talk. To give them something– a name, a face to look for. “Who did this?” he asked again.

Pushing me down the route it wants me to take. Jim was panting and his lungs were beginning to burn. He wasn’t in the best shape and the running was taking its toll. Halfway down the new path he saw the grave. He recognised it instantly. The gravestone was unique; Jim knew every inch of it intimately. The moment he saw it he knew why the thing in the ground had guided him here.

I yelped as I ran away I could hear his steps from behind "get back here!!" he yelled as he ran after me "ahh....!!" I screamed and laughed "you're really chasing me??"

He said. His comment struck a nerve within me and before I could respond, he added quickly. "Goodnight, Jessica." He turned and walked out and this time, I let him go. I stood there watching his retreating figure until he disappeared into the crowd. Then I looked down at the folder again. The opportunity was real. That much I knew. The problem was everything surrounding it. Because Roman Stone wasn't helping me out of kindness. **************************** By the time I reached Rolda's cottage, the sky had darkened completely.

Straight to a waiting listener. In the depths of the dark district of the city Victor Lang had a winning smile on his face. He had been with Cinthye for a long time so if anyone knows how she would respond to this new rising star paired with her Victor Lang could bet his precious sedan for this. However, he felt something strange right next to him and so he took a peek.

As he stood by the window, looking out of it, his back to Damon, asking the girl's question, he looked at the road, and he thought: "Holy fuck" "What?" Damon called. There was the guy they were looking for, running down the road, running in a zigzag in case there was a shooter overhead. At one point, he turned, seeing Derinem at the window, and threw a middle finger at him. "Damon, he's getting away." Without waiting for a response, he jumped down from the window. Jumping down stories, his hands supporting himself on the rail before he landed on the ground on his hands and feet.
