No Place To Hide Book Novels & Stories

On New Year's Eve, Gwen Hurst and I attended a reunion with our old classmates. After several rounds of drinks, someone suggested a game of Truth or Dare. Gwen was the first to lose and drew Truth. "What was your biggest regret when it came to love?" She answered without hesitation, but her gaze kept drifting toward her first love, Nikolas Stratton, who was sitting nearby. "My greatest regret was not ending up with the person I loved most. Instead, I married my backup and settled for a life of compromise." The room erupted in shock. Everyone thought I would storm out in anger, but I only smiled and gestured for the game to continue. When it was my turn, the question became, "Have you ev

I quickly upheld it back and took something else. "The way she...rushed out to die for me and keep me hidden" I was lucky that I could snap my head back to reality when the thought came back to me again. Then, I saw a book that made me recall something. It had the same sign as the one mother was holding. I took it after that I went through it. Luckily, I found it. The next thing I should do was to get out first but...I was unfortunate. The crack of the door made me realize that somebody was getting in. I put the book in my left arm and hid it behind my rear. Mother pushed her way so hard into the chamber angrily. I smiled without giving any inkling that I'd done something wrong or...taken an

kitchen—if it could be called that—was sparse. A three-legged table, chipped chairs, a tired stove, and a fridge clinging to half-spoiled cans. Gloom seemed permanent here. Even the sunlight felt weary. I warmed a can of beans and some processed meat over the last dregs of gas while Keli whined, pawing his empty bowl. His whimpers broke something in me. This wasn't a life. It was survival, at best. Hiding, grieving, remembering. I wasn't even sure what I was holding on for. The Nortons had taken everything. They called themselves protectors—guardians of the nation—but their uniforms were soaked in blood and greed. My parents were just two more names erased in their path. We used to live on

And what did they know about me that I didn't? I swallowed hard.Then I heard movement behind me.I turned.A narrow shelf stood against the wall, crowded with old boxes, rusted tools, folders, and metal containers.I needed somewhere to hide.My eyes moved quickly over the room.The men were still distracted by the voice that had ordered them to leave me alone.It was my chance.I slipped sideways.One step.Then another.I reached the shelving and squeezed into the narrow space behind it.My shoulder brushed against something cold.I froze.A metal ledger sat on the edge of the shelf.It looked old.Heavy.

" Speaking of Cole, I was very curious about the reason for his blocking my mind-link with him. "Do you know where Cole is, Holden? I want to see him!" … Holden quickly brought Eva and me to Cole's office. We'd only just arrived at the door when we heard loud music in the air. We peeked in and saw countless beautiful and scantily-clad she-wolves dancing inside. The pungent fragrance in the air made me want to puke. Meanwhile, Amy was all nestled up in Cole's lap as she pouted and complained, "Cole… To think that such a disgusting and lowly she-wolf wanted to join our pack!

Niffa said as she run to catch up with the old man. “I’m telling you this for the last time, do not go in there,” he said and leave Niffa outside. Niffa was confused, she wanted to convince the old man. The sky was bright but cloudy, she cannot feel the sun that mostly had warmth on her skin. The place was cold as she look around, the place was surrounded by huge trees. She was like in the middle of a circle space. She look at the wooden hut, the old man was inside. Niffa decided to escape, she run slowly making no sounds of heavy footsteps. She should suppose to step inside the dark forest but she hit an invisible wall and she falls to the ground. She stands up groaning in pain, she decided

Wright's cryptic file names and the surveillance camera I had found at home. Piece by piece, it felt like something much larger—and far more unsettling—was coming together. Some secret, hidden in plain sight, was waiting to be uncovered.

Their attention turned to me instantly, but they seemed more surprised than anything. “I'm sorry,” I said as I rushed to their front door. “Forgive me!” I yelled as I left the small apartment. Instead of going down the hall stairs, I ran up the stairs. I needed to find a place to hide until they gave up on this building. Running up the stairs to the roof, I searched for a place to hide. There weren’t any options on this roof, but I noticed another rooftop with a few hiding options. Dashing across the roof to the edge, I smiled when I saw there wasn’t much of a gap. Having been a cheerleader for most of my life, I retreated to the center of the roof. With a goal in mind, I ran as fast as I co

I was done hiding my light. **********

This was my haven, a secret space where no one could find me—away from everything, from the pressures of my role, from the expectations that weighed on me. In my hands, I held the book I had stolen from the secret library. It was bound in dark leather, and its pages crackled with age. I had barely managed to slip it from its hidden resting place without anyone noticing, and now I was finally going to read it. The title was unassuming, but the stories it held, the knowledge it promised, stirred something deep within me.
