Michael Afton Bear Mask Novels & Stories

Nagtaas-baba pa ang kilay nito. Sumunod ang tingin ko sa tinutukoy ni Athelia. Naroon si Adamson. He was wearing a black button down shirt. Nakabukas pa ang tatlong butones. He was a bit sweaty and under the lights, his sweat shimmers like they were diamonds. May suot din itong kwintas na may dog tag na pendant. Mukhang may magpipigil ng ngiti ngayong gabi ah. Natawa ako nang umirap si Ena at sumiksik sa akin.

Not a sign of life anywhere. They landed in the second ring, the inner zone. "We're here," Nathaniel said as Ark Two came into view. He handed Hayley two masks. "This is Ark One's insignia. Everyone attending the auction has to wear a mask representing their base." The masks he gave her were green. Hayley nodded and passed one to Griffin. They all put on the green masks. The helicopter touched down. Nathaniel stepped out first. Then Hayley followed, holding the dogs' leashes. Griffin and the rest of the group poured out behind her in one noisy wave.

However, when he thought of the fact that Ryder had made this, especially for him, his heart softened and the dissatisfaction vanished immediately. While Ryder put on the coat and boots, Midnight fixed the mask on his face. Since it wasn't the first mask Ryder had made, it was the best one so far she had managed to create. Even though having a few flaws was inevitable, it still was pretty decent. The mask was a half one that covered only the upper half of Midnight's eyes. It resembled a ball's mask. It was black with delicate ornaments made of clay and painted with golden paint. The mask covered most of Midnight's face, including half of his cheeks, but his jaw and lips were out in plain sig

Ursa and Mike wore tiger and deer masks, respectively. From a distance, they resembled two beasts fighting—or perhaps performing an animal-themed dance. Indeed, Helena's suggestion to wear masks added to the spectacle. The officials from Nidora were all on edge. Ursa, with his massive frame, moved with remarkable agility. Within a few moves, he hoisted Mike into the air and slammed him down hard. The spectators were horrified. As for Mike, he was utterly terrified. This wasn't a match—his opponent was out for blood! Realizing he couldn't win and was being savagely beaten, Mike scrambled to his feet, intending to surrender. But Ursa, seeing through his intentions, grabbed him and delivered a

I opened the child-friendly mask and placed it carefully on her face. "Isn't it bad for kids?" Dante asked, voice sharp, eyebrows furrowed as if I had just handed Aurora poison. "It's for kids," I said while adjusting the mask on her cheeks. "I'm not stupid." "I can see that," he huffed, staring suspiciously at the mask in his own hands. "Papa, pat pat!" she urged again, practically climbing onto his lap. I bit back another laugh. He looked annoyed, hesitant, but Aurora’s sheer excitement wore him down. His shoulders finally sagged in defeat. He applied the mask with stiff fingers.

A shaky breath left my chest. One look into his hazel eyes, and I knew I had to rekindle that courage that was long lost. Years and Years of mistreatment had made my soul numb, my courage diluted. I took a deep breath in, nodded. Rayleigh reached for something in his drawer. I walked in, curious. "Wear this mask. Always have the surgical cap with you. For your scent..." he wondered, "Don't worry. I got that covered," I showed off my pendant. That artefact? Spellbound and strong enough to hide my scent from even a bear Shifter.

I can’t deal with all of it at once. “I’ll call you later, brother dear.” “Promise me you’ll wear masks. Stay six feet from people. Just... stay in.” “Love you, Matt. Bye!” I hang up quickly. Ashton raises an eyebrow. “I’m grabbing those masks. Then we’ll go.” “Okay,” he drawls as Asshole starts blaring again. “Answer it if you want,” I call over my shoulder. “I’m done with Paranoid Patty for tonight.” I walk toward my room.

The only sort of noise came from the government of the cars and the occasional softly music coming out one shot for the other. It was private, hence there were no people around except for the four well-dressed guards that stood beside a kneeling man. I dreaded the moment I would step out of the sun, but it was imperative that I did. The heat was scorching, and the sun was blinding, yet I was glad for the addition of the mask I wore. It was a black Japanese oni mask that covered most of my face. The black protected from the harshness of the sun but also made me sweat on the inside.

The bear was the only thing Nicoli still had. The broach Ana had given him on his birthday was ‘misplaced’ shortly after. And the letters Nicoli had from her were ruined by water somehow. It was like something was intentionally destroying everything of hers. But fortunately, the bear was the only thing still intact. And Nicoli worked hard to keep it out of harm's way. I can’t afford to have something happen to you, too. So Nicoli thought, looking at the bear with warmth. “Good Afternoon, friend.” Nicoli greeted, noting the little blue bow. It was untied again. The silk ribbon refused to stay neat.

"It's all Uncle Atherton's fault! He knew that the ugly uncle was Big Demon, but he deliberately incited us to fool him..." Ollie pressed his lips and then suggested, "How about we pretend not to know the truth and still treat the ugly uncle as Mommy’s cousin?" Miles flicked the suspenders of his jeans and then nodded. He was about to say something when a noise of a cracked stick sounded in the garden. Ollie and Miles looked at each other and then walked to the path. A man stood straight against the light, with one hand in his pocket. A silver mask was on his face, hiding the horrific birthmark.
