Last Of Us: Escape The Dark Novels & Stories

More of the creatures swarmed around us. Well… if this is our fate, then so be it… I lifted Figaro and pressed him to me, gently stroking his furry face. We stood back to back with the others, and there were so many utulisks that the sunlight barely pierced through. Yet, in the center of this black chaos and grinding, I noticed a light. It grew brighter and brighter until it erupted into a massive explosion, sending the cursed utulisks flying in pieces with the shockwave. They literally dissolved and were incinerated by the blast, leaving only clouds of drifting ash.

“Our debt is paid. The lights are finally out. Live for us, Sophia. Live for the world we couldn't see.” With a powerful, spectral push, the two men propelled Sophia’s consciousness upward, through the layers of cooling code and back into the physical interface. [The Escape] 00:10. Sophia’s eyes snapped open. She gasped—a jagged, raw sound of a soul returning to its body—and collapsed into Jake’s arms as the security field flickered out for the last time. "Run!" Jake roared, hoisting her up. They hauled Sophia toward the emergency escape pod, the floor buckling beneath them as the Atlantic Ocean began to reclaim the Silent City. They dove into the spherical pod and sealed the hatch just as t

I reach into my pocket. I pull out the device. The one Liam gave me. "It was about the data." I hit the button. The estate lights go out. The power grid fails. The entire city goes black. "What did you do?" "I ended the power." "And now..." I step into the dark. "Now you’re just a man." I run. I don't look back. I don't look at his body. I don't look at Liam. I run into the woods. I run into the night.

“The data we just pulled is a map of Hydra’s major operations. If we can’t leave with it, neither can they. Soren wants a war? Let’s give her one.” The Escape With the gas filling the corridors and alarms blaring, the team fought their way to an emergency exit. Guards swarmed the building, but Elena’s team moved with precision and ferocity, cutting through the opposition. They burst into the night air just as the facility erupted in flames, the explosion shaking the ground beneath their feet. As they fled into the darkness, Elena glanced back at the inferno. She knew this was only the beginning. Soren had declared war, but Elena wasn’t backing down.

he said coldly, “You’re counting the final days of your pack.” I hugged Lucius from behind, trying to calm him. His muscles slowly relaxed. He shifted back and gathered me gently into his arms, whispering softly to soothe me. After that night, I never saw Shawn again. But I heard the rumors. That his entire pack disappeared overnight—vanished without a trace. No one knew who had done it. They only said it was an Alpha… and that his Luna looked very much like Shawn’s former mate. From that day on, there was no Clara. Only Lara.

I pulled the girls close, shielding them with my body as Alex returned fire. Lena was already on the move, crawling toward the southern exit. “Go!” I shouted. “Move now!” We stumbled through the shadows, gunfire echoing like thunder in a cathedral. Elijah stayed behind, covering our escape. His last words rang in my ears: “Get her to the Bastion. If she remembers… it’s over.” We reached the underground tunnel. Cold. Wet. Stinking of rust and rot. Alex slammed the grate behind us just as more bullets ricocheted off the stone.

“But they’re stalling us. If extra guards come, you won't make it out in time.” The Escape The override tool finished its sequence, and the servers’ lighting fixtures flickered and died. The hub went silent, its structures absolutely offline. Vanessa’s voice got here , triumphant. “You did it! The hub is down—they can’t coordinate anymore!” Ethan gestured towards the exit. “Then let’s get out of here earlier than they lock us in.” We fought our manner and returned to the elevator, the sound of alarms and gunfire echoing in the back of us. As the doorways closed, I let loose a shaky breath, the load of the assignment sinking in.

Not only that, they forced me to stay in a dingy, windowless basement apartment and saddled me with massive debt, leaving me to be beaten by loan sharks on a daily basis. Now, the comments were telling me that the person the three women loved most was me. All I could do was find that funny. Ignoring the comments, I stuck my head through the noose and kicked the stool away, allowing an overwhelming sense of suffocation to wash over me. Before my eyes appeared Mom and Dad's loving smiles. How nice. I was finally going home. "Don't worry, everyone! Elena is on her way! She might have a sharp tongue, but she'll save Daniel in the end."

She smiled back, waving her hand as I left the hall. I walked over to the supply closet, gathered the cleaning tools and fresh linens I needed, and headed straight up to the master's wing. I pushed open the first heavy door, entering the space that belonged to Valerius. A familiar chill ran down my spine. As usual, the room was dimly lit. Since they were supposed to be thousands of miles away in Russia, I had planned to escape through the back door tonight. Once the rooms were flawlessly presentable, I slipped out of their suffocating rooms and made my way down to the gardens to meet Leo. The crisp evening air felt like a lifeline.

he said to me. The third guy stepped forward and held his phone up. Eve started to read: “Derek, stop fucking around and wire the rest of the money, if you want proof of life, here you go. But this is it, send the money and the girls will be dumped somewhere you can find them. You have until 6pm today. If you’re even missing one dollar, we’ll…” Eve stopped and looked up. One of the guys gestured for her to continue.
