Last Of Us: Escape The Dark Novels & Stories

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.

“But he’ll recover.” Lila pressed a kiss to Eli’s temple. “We’re okay, baby. We’re going somewhere else.” Eli murmured something incoherent, then settled. As they moved toward the exit, Dominic’s device buzzed again, faintly, and insistent. A single new line appeared before the screen went black completely. ESCALATION CONFIRMED. Dominic didn’t slow. Behind them, the facility’s lights dimmed one by one. Ahead of them, the tunnel yawned open, dark and narrow.

"What about evacuation?" She tapped the wall. However, Elias shook his head. He did not find it good enough. Anything could happen. He took out a rope and attached one end to the railing. Then, he looped it around him, before tying the other end to Angie. He used a knot that was secure yet could be easily undone. Now that Elias was satisfied, they stepped into the darkness. Angie retrieved the light stick, then threw it along the wall. She waited for one second before advancing forward to repeat the procedure. The deeper they went, the more their features and everything else disappeared. Only the small area illuminated by the green glow of the light stick could be seen. Elias kept extremely

These jokers surely had to come soon, they only gave us enough food for a couple days. We were deep in a game of Bull Shit, one of my favorite card games when we heard someone. We both clung to each other and waited. After several locks and a bunch of noise, the door opened and there stood three guys, all in black with ski masks on. Sorry asses, can’t even show their faces. “You!” The guy pointed at Eve. We held each other tight. He walked toward her with a newspaper, shit he was going to do a ransom video or something, I’ve seen these on TV.

And the worst part of all… he had made love to her last night while the woman he really loved slept under the same roof. “I need to get out of here…” she said slowly trying to rose from the ground, but she couldn’t. She was a huge mass of pain and wounded emotion. “What am I to do…? Where am I to go now? How can I escape him?” Lara whispered. “What a sick, twisted game he put on… Hurting me, hurting Meghan just to get back at his father…”

"It's not that easy! I can't just go blam and take out Grocer Outlet. What would that even do? Kill some people? That won't kill their boss. That won't take out the darkness!" "So, you're just going to sit in here and read books?" "Yes, that's exactly what I'm going to do until I figure something else or you come up with a better plan." Liam growled and disappeared up the stairs. I slammed a book down on the table. I was feeling just as helpless as he was. I wanted to go in and fight, just like him. But the darkness was smart. It always had a plan, and if I didn't understand what it was up to, it would be a slaughter.

We didn't let the darkness win. END OF VOLUME ONE

The only comfort I’d receive was when I took my last breath and the lights dimmed behind my eyelids. The elevator doors slid open and I didn’t hesitate to run past him. I didn’t stop until I arrived in my room. I slammed and locked the door behind me–locking myself away from the psycho with the piercing blue eyes and murderous threats. My back hit the door and slid to the floor in defeat. With my time ticking down, I only had two options if I want to stay alive; avoid Judge Jackson at all cost or escape Eden. Escaping would prove difficult. The exits to Eden always changed and I wouldn’t be prepared for the outside world. The best opportunity I had to escape was two days from now when a feas

Right as they close the door, an ear-piercing screech sounds above us. “Banshee?” Evander’s brown eyes widen, and he grips my arm. Lucas speeds up onto the porch, fangs bared. “Get her out of here!” I shout to Easton. “Go!” He gets in the Jeep along with two other hunters, leaving Ricky and Tom, the young one, here to fight the demons. They’re well-trained and have high-powered weapons, but they don’t stand a chance against the demons tonight. They’re best bet at survival is staying inside the house, and I know they’ll never agree to it. Maybe Lucas can hold them spellbound again and make them think it’s their idea to say inside and away from the danger.

"Good. I've prepared a little gift for you and David. I buried it under the tree, so don't forget to come get it." "David's practically bouncing as soon as he heard this. I'm looking forward to it, too. Once we finish work, we'll pick it up. Tonight, the three of us will look at it together at home." Tabitha didn't answer and just hung up the phone. There would be no more "three of us". She knew tonight, neither Kieran nor David would return home. From now on, the Lowe residence would no longer have her presence. A long-missed mechanical voice sounded in her ears. "Tabitha, the exit procedure is ready. Confirm departure?"
