Ray Bradbury Novels & Stories

I’ll never get used to this thing. Amelia joins us outside and we get in the robotic vehicle, freaks me out—I’ll never trust a car that drives itself; I laugh to myself. “What’s so funny?” Jade asks. “This car, I wonder if I can trade it in.” “Why would you do that!?” Jade repulsed by my question. “I just want something simpler...” “I think it’s cool, but it is a little scary, isn’t it?” “You both realize that we’re immortal right?”

MATTEO RODRIGUEZ Matteo Rodriguez has just gotten back from his morning exercise. His body dripped of sweat and smelt of fresh leaves and of woods. He marched straight to the fridge and grabbed a sachet of packaged blood. He tore it open with one bite and gulped the whole content at a go. He wheezed out air and hissed noisily with a squeezed face. There was nothing better than drinking human blood.

I had no choice but to do this job so I just did my daily routine and did as was told and cookd what Brian loved. I walked with a tray in my hands of a chicken salad I had made with a glass of lemonade since it was kinda hot outside today and I knew Brian must be a bit warm in his room. So I wanted to make him something cool and refreshing to drink and eat. I took a deep breath in before knocking and then coming in but no guards or nursers were with me this time. I guess they all got tired of this bull shit as I was. I came in to find Brian sitting on his bed smiling at me.

My wolf growls at me, "the moon goddess, our creature, our mother, she has blessed us." A light knock on the door and it opens, "Charlie, my love, are you alright?" I turn from the mirror to see a groggy Braddock, "why are you up so early, the sun isn't even up yet," he wipes his eyes with two fingers and looks at me.

All this time, Luke has been the one who has been authorizing the experiments. “Dr Reyes is just the face of the organization. The master mind of everything is Luke.” Sebastian had explained everything to us back at home, in the war room. Luke is the one who sent Justin into my life. He’s the one whose war has taken Tori away from him. Every path of the last months has led to this exact place. It gives me more reason to hate him and want to kill him the more. Jayden keeps his weapon raised, eyes moving between the exits. “All clear on the left corridor. No one’s coming.” He notifies me.
