Midnight Tmnt Novels & Stories

The silver pendant around my neck seemed to pulse with warmth. "Mom," I whispered, clutching it. "Dad. I wish you were here." The forest answered with silence. I checked my watch: 11:45. Fifteen minutes until midnight, when the shift would begin. According to the old journals, the first transformation always happened at the stroke of midnight on an eighteenth birthday. No exceptions.

"She doesn't know about our world. It's better this way." "She's so perfect. So fragile." His voice broke with agony. "If she finds out what kind of monster I really am, she'll be terrified." My heart almost stopped. Ryder... wasn't human? "Bullshit," one of his buddies jeered. "If you’re so tough, then stop whining on that encrypted forum every night. 'Midnight_Howler'... real creative." Midnight_Howler. I memorized the ID. I slipped back to my room and opened my laptop. I found the hidden forum called "The Den". With a few tricks, I registered and got in.

I kept swallowing hard, forcing myself to stay composed as I fought the growing restlessness in my body. The bus rattled and swayed, and every bump in the road made me tense. If this kept up, I felt like I might actually lose it. I took out a small purple toy from my bag. While no one was paying attention, I slipped it under my dress. A breath of relief escaped me as I leaned back against the seat, my legs parting just slightly. I turned it on, and the faint vibration finally eased some of the pressure. Traveling without a toy really was impossible.

But neither the gods know what sinister mysteries lurk in the quiet, lush town, hiding behind the endless sea of weeping willows and towering mahoganies. Today is the day that the Midnight Club goes on yet another one of their pretentious adventures; leaving behind Isaac who was still high on alprazolam, Gwyneth who was still in dreamland, and Dean who has unfortunately passed off. The sun is just starting to shed off its blankets at 7 in the morning. Dew on the shrubs and bushes along the streets and avenues were just starting to dry up. Agatha Leon filled herself with early morning bitter coffee; Mickey took his breakfast with his moms; Isa took bites from a cereal bar while packing her dr

Midnight, however, refuses to vanish them back to the yurt and have done with it. “Let’s just go closer,” Jesse mutters. “No!” Midnight hisses. “We must stay unseen. Darkness doesn’t want anyone to know about me. I’m his super spy.” The last bit is preening. “Then just call him up and tell him what you’ve found,” Jesse sighs. “Or, better yet, never talk to him again and zip us back to Moon Valley.” “You’re being a brat, Jesse,” Midnight snaps. “You begged to come along and now you won’t even let me do my job.”

“Who knows what will happen at midnight?” I can’t stop smiling at the picture until Liam pokes me in the side and points to a stage where Alpha and Luna Williams are standing. Everyone else takes notice and quiets down, giving them our full attention. “Hello Everyone, welcome to the Emerald Mountain Mating Gathering. With the kickoff of this event and with the blessings of the Moon Goddess, we are looking forward to the beginning of fruitful mating season.” Alpha Williams greets us with a warm smile. He and Luna Williams give us instructions on where to stand when dinner finishes and tell us all what to expect at midnight when the moon is at its peak.

The moon is bright in the sky, it will be full moon soon… along with my 21st birthday. It is such a beautiful night. The skies are clear, showcasing the bright milky way, and the brilliant moon. It is a perfect summer evening with a cool breeze blowing. As we enter the treeline, my entire body breaks out in goosebumps, my senses are heightened, and Morganite is on alert, fighting to shift… the air becoming even thicker. “O, he's back.” Xander says with a grin on his face. “Who?” ‘Timika, we need to shift …NOW!!’ Morganite claws in my mind, and my body begins to tremble…

Adora helplessly argued. "Is that so? Then she is welcome to do her worst!" Further attempts to convince Edwardo to release the siren were futile. The man was too blinded by greed to see the impending doom. And it came. The quiet waters of the golden seas suddenly became turbulent as several groups of sirens in their hundreds swam towards the surface. At exactly midnight, the scaly-tailed creatures crawled out of the water, shifting immediately to dazzling beauties. They ventured into the city and the once quiet night was disturbed with screams and cries of agony.

We were ready. The ball would start when daylight faded and twilight emerged. I peered in the mirror my ice blue eyes were alert and ready for trouble my hair ribboned down my back resting at my waist. Tonight would be my last in the pack. Vivian was slipping on cleanly polished boots before double checking her silver moon necklace around her neck. Out of habit I played with my own matching necklace my fingers looping around the intricate chain. Matching. A gift from our mother. “Well let’s do the best job we can and then skedaddle.” Vivian joked running a brush through her hair once more.

When I got home, the house was pitch black. Standing alone in the darkness, I sent Delilah a text. [One of my colleagues asked me to come over and watch the game. It's getting late, so I won't be coming home tonight.] Her reply came almost immediately. [Okay. But don't stay up too late. Your stomach's been acting up, so you have to get up and eat breakfast tomorrow morning.] There was none of her usual prying. I knew Delilah wouldn't be coming home that night, so I pulled out my suitcase and started packing.
