Of Mist And Shadow Novels & Stories

The forest was veiled in mist, as the moon, lacking its full radiance, cast a dim, yellowish glow resembling a dull halo. Encircling the moon was a foreboding red ring, emitting an eerie light.

The mist dampened sounds and dulled the senses, providing an advantage to the shadowy figures that lurked, preying on the unsuspecting.

My eyes seek out the flames first, and only then do I take notice of the shadowy black mist pouring out of Alaric, like an inky black abyss, it swallows up the flames, leaving him completely unharmed.

The mist tricked their senses, bringing back memories of previous regrets, unmet desires, and phantoms of lost loved ones. Zara saw the ghost of her father, his face carved with pride and grief.

In silence, the two locked eyes. Suddenly Pauline let out a chilling laugh. As she turned back, a syringe needle appeared in her hand. “Don’t blame me! Since you know my secret and refuse to side with me, then you all must die!” she growled. “You don’t love me anymore! You’ve fallen for Mariah, haven’t you?

My family has been long members of the council, and as if it was some kind of inheritance, the responsibilities were passed on to us. The Council of the Moon Shadows were meant to protect, not hurt anyone. “How much do you know about the council, Ethan?” Alaric asked as his eyes, like Izobel’s color, which is golden yellow flickered from Zena to me. I shook my head and smirked. “Come to think of it, Nolan and I never really take all those stories seriously. We don’t know much.” I groaned and turned my gaze to Alaric. “I know you don’t trust me that’s why you wanted to erase my memories. But I also want to know what I’m dealing with. I feel blind walking in the dark.”

Lucky there’s nothing deep needing stitches. In my grieving and broken state, I begin to feel faint. I let myself go and pass out. Opening my eyes I feel myself transported into another realm. Standing in front of me is my grandmother’s house which stands in front of a looming property which I dare not go near. The “LeFleur” mansion.
