Moonlight Mile Rolling Novels & Stories

Liliana got the memo and kept her mouth shut for the rest of the drive, letting us all fall into silence once more. After another half an hour, we turned down a poorly lit road. The pavement was rough, yet incredibly smooth. It looked like the road was hardly ever used. As I looked out the window, I could see something tall and white cresting over the treetops in the distance. I couldn't make out what it was, but was entranced at how it seemed to attract the moons brilliant light.

I crumpled the note and made for the stairs, then left the way I’d come. It was still quiet outside the house, but when I got to my car I started up the drive with the lights off just in case. The Moonlite was only a half mile or so from here. I figured I’d slip onto the highway then maybe find a way to get close inconspicuously. My mind was working through options for how to do that when suddenly there was a roar that shook the windows and hit me like a punch to the chest followed by blinding light from behind.

{Abebi} The night sky stretched out above us, its vast expanse adorned with a tapestry of twinkling stars. The moon, a radiant crescent, cast a soft glow upon the world below. Shadows danced playfully across the landscape as we navigated the winding road, our headlights piercing through the darkness. The air was crisp and filled with a sense of anticipation, blending with the scent of pine trees that lined the roadside. The occasional rustle of leaves and the distant hoot of an owl created an eerie symphony, heightening our senses and reminding us of the clandestine nature of our journey.

The Cliffs of Moher (or a generic jagged cliffside near Montbert). Midnight. Two engines screamed in the dark. Mia was riding her Ducati superbike, leaning dangerously low into the curve. Behind her, Kian was matching her speed on a modified interceptor bike. The road ended. Mia slammed the brakes, drifting sideways and coming to a stop inches from the cliff edge. Dust and gravel fell into the crashing waves hundreds of feet below. Kian pulled up beside her. He took off his helmet. His hair was messy, his eyes wild with adrenaline.

My heart raced as Xavier slowly eased the motorcycle onto the road. The bright moon and stars illuminated the night sky, creating a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, interrupted only by the motorcycle roaring down the road. Riding with Xavier, I started to grasp his passion for this experience. It was as if we were soaring through the night, feeling liberated and untethered from the world around us.

Maybe this was the start of something new. * * * * * The limousine was sleek, its leather seats comfortable as Lily, Lucas, Liam, Graham, and Maya settled inside. The soft hum of the engine and the city lights flashing by made the moment feel surreal. Maya leaned into Graham’s side, their fingers intertwined as they whispered to each other. Meanwhile, Lily sat between Lucas and Liam, her hands in her lap. "This is it," she murmured. "The Moonlight Dance." Liam smirked.

“I’ve got you. I won’t fall.” His scent and warmth calm me. I try to hold on tight, but my arms aren’t obeying me. We don’t speak as he carries me up the side of the mountain. At one point, he stumbles. My eyes pop open and I dig my fingernails into his back. “It’s okay, baby,” he assures me. One of his men steadies Moon, and my eyes close again. The crunch of gravel alerts me that we’ve made it to the road. I peer at the asphalt beneath Moon’s shoes before I look around. Two dark SUVs are parked on the shoulder of the road close to where I went over. I can see my tire marks in the gravel. Someone opens the back door to the first SUV and Moon slides in while holding me. He keeps moving over

Moonlight spilled in. “Hurry,” he said. Benji climbed after him, followed by Luna Rosa. When Benji stepped onto the grass and looked around, he gasped. They were deep in the forest. There were no houses, no roads, no sign of anyone. Just trees and silence. “We’re out,” Luna Rosa said softly. Ryan pointed forward. “We can’t stay here. They’ll notice you’re gone soon. We need to move.” Benji nodded. They started running. The forest floor was uneven, filled with roots and fallen branches. But Ryan moved fast, like he knew every step.

Me and the road. --- The Blood Moon Race was four hours and eleven minutes of the most alive I had ever felt. The mountain passes were exactly as brutal as advertised — narrow, unforgiving, lit in the strange silver quality of pre-moonrise that made distances hard to judge. The course shifted under moonlight in ways that felt supernatural because they absolutely were, corners that weren't there on the map appearing in the rock face, the road surface changing texture as the moon climbed. None of it mattered.

He felt a low vibration in the tree-trunk, he lay both of his hands. “Luan?!” he calls. “My Dear moonlight” he said. A string of light came out from Aelius pinky, then climb up until it reaches the treetop. In the road of darkness, Stella saw a string of light wrapped around her pinky. Then another string of light appeared from the direction of Aelius. It was as if, he is reaching out for her.
