Raise The Roof Novels & Stories

“Speak for yourself who is being obsessed by a ghost who died in the past.” Ryder gritted his teeth. “Then come at me, conjurer.” ----- Everything seemed to be almost in flames. Raeya was panting for air. The smoke was getting thicker and thicker. She had to go up the roofs of the buildings. She concentrated energy at the balls of her feet. Then, when she felt that it was enough, she jumped, using the broken ledges of the windows as she hauled herself up. But the person waiting on the roof didn’t want to let her catch her breath.

She asks, getting off the desk and stamping her hands on it. “ Yes!” He replies, taking his last portions by bits and listening to what she had to say. “ So, climb down to the store room, break down the glass, get a long rope, and climb up to the flat roof, tie down the rope and fling it down to us. We will climb back up and I'll assert our next move.” She stated and awaited his reply. “ You mean like the ones we use for tug of war?” he asks and looks away, keeping his hands under his chin as he considers what she had just said.

I couldn't tell Tai, without a risk of him retaliating against Marek, making everything worse. Marek opens his mouth to respond, but the sound of Tai's voice echoing from below interrupts him. "Akara? Are you up there?" he calls. I freeze, looking down past my feet. Marek is up in an instance, concealing himself from Tai's view, who now walks down the path, looking up toward the roof. Pathetically waving down at him, I attempt to look as normal as possible, despite the fact I'm sitting upon the roof.

Garren pushed open the door revealing a winding iron staircase. "Where does this lead?" I asked. "The roof," Garren muttered before making his way up the stairs leaving me standing there confused. Why the hell was he taking me to the roof? I shook my head, running after him. My boots clicked against the old metal steps. A large metal door greeted me at the top of the stairs; Garren stood against it, holding it open for me. The sun lit up the dark entranceway, and I squinted my eyes against the sudden brightness as I stepped out onto the roof. My eyes widened as I took in the sight before me.

"That's strange." "What's wrong, Cay? Did you discover something?" Sydney looked at him. Cayden touched his chin and nodded. "The ceiling is too high. It looks around 30 feet tall, and normal ladders don't reach that high. It's basically impossible for someone to tamper with it unless they have professional lifting machines. However, such machines are large and can't be transported through the door of the restaurant."

There are only the normal ones over the doors, no one expects anyone to enter through the windows. When a lonely car has passed, I cross the street to the nearest building and jump 3 metres up, grabbing hold of the downspout. I push my feet against the wall and easily climb the rest of the way up. At the top there is 2,5 meters out to the edge of the roof. I throw myself out into the thin air, grabbing the edge of the roof. For a moment I hang there in my arms, checking that no one has spotted me, before I slowly pull myself up on the flat roof. Now I just have to find the right ward, the one with the vegetables.

After he finished speaking, David’s energy skyrocketed again. Boom! Crack! Crack! The inn began to shake. A shocking force directly lifted the entire ninth floor of the inn into the air. The ninth floor was a thousand square meters, but the roof was effortlessly lifted. Without shade, the sun shone into the room. Although the temperature had risen, it still could not drive away the chill in everyone’s hearts. As the people gradually looked up at the unobstructed sunlight, they only felt shocked in their hearts. ‘What the hell is that?’

"What do you need us to do." Atlas says without hesitation, maybe bringing him with me wasn't such a bad idea. "I'm gonna jump onto the roof to get a better view of the inside, I need to find a way to muffle the sound. Distract them somehow." I take a few steps back in order to get a jump start as I make my way up to the top while Atlas and Shaun use their werewolf powers to knock a big branch that fell next to the van as I hit the rooftop.

First, I need to sneak back inside. That is also mostly up to Ruby. It’s a big leap from the ground to the lowest roof, the one that she used to hop down when we left, but she manages it, barely catching the shingles with her front clawd and scrambling up. It’s a little loud, and I have to hope no one heard anything as she continues to jump from one roof to the next until we reach our window.

Kael cut down another soldier. "I rather take my chances." She sighed. "I was hoping to avoid bloodshed." Lucian laughed bitterly. "You brought thirty soldiers." "At least they're enough to guarantee success." Another crash came from downstairs, Rynese looked toward the staircase. "They're coming in from below too!" "We're surrounded," Zara said. Kael's eyes swept across the door then he noticed something. "The roof." Everyone looked up at once. The ceiling was old and the woods were already rooting. Kael pointed his sword upward.
