Nine Light Door Novels & Stories

It disappeared and the gates open. “She, does he means Ana or the girl in black?” Van thought. Van and Cara are the first to enter the gates. Kirsten and the rest hesitated, yet no one wants to be left out here with the metal face so they follow with their eyes closed. Van and the rest then emerge into a vast chamber or a void perhaps for there is no floors, walls or ceilings here. There are only doors here, lots and lots of doors floating around like hooded ghosts. Van approaches the nearest one. The door must be more than eight feet tall for it towers above Van’s head.

Niko As I survey the room, I notice three distinct doors, each providing access in and out of this space. The first door, positioned at the back, swings open to reveal a cramped area filled with storage cupboards. Among the clutter, I spot an elderly woman nestled among the shadows, her presence almost hidden. She exudes an air of gentle vulnerability, with silver strands framing her soft, weathered face. Though her age marks her features, she radiates a sense of inherent harmlessness, as if shaped by years of quiet resilience.

As we walked, I could hear Alden’s voice behind me, low and dark, “Don’t test my patience, Nyx. You won’t like the consequences.” I shuddered, knowing he wasn’t just talking about me coming down here. He meant something far more dangerous. Nine said nothing as he guided me back to my room, his hand still firm on my arm. Once we were back in my room, Nine gave me one last warning, his voice devoid of emotion, “Stay here. Don’t come down again without the master's permission. It’s for your own safety.” He turned and left without another word, his footsteps echoing in the hallway as the door shut quietly behind him.
