Red Rising Sling Blade Novels & Stories

The hunter dropped from the ceiling, silent as shadow, fast as vengeance. Their swords clashed — black against silver, old against unbroken. “Still slow,” the hunter sneered. “She softened you.” “You never let yourself feel enough to be softened,” Riven snarled. Their blades met again, sparks flying as the vault pulsed with firelight. The hunter’s gaze was pure rage. > “You were supposed to rise beside me. You were *meant* to become the blade she fears.” Riven’s blade slipped under the hunter’s guard. Blood. Shallow. But it shocked him.

I hissed in pain as the metallic stench of my own blood mingled with his, the blade having sliced through both my leather arm brace and the skin. I cursed under my breath and finished the rogue off swiftly. The knife clattered to the ground beside his now-limp hand, revealing a strangely beautiful silver hilt with a ruby embedded in it. Oddly ornate for a rogue—likely stolen. I took the knife and slipped it into the sheath at my hip.

I looked past them, the fight was dying down and my guys were winning but they were too far. Selene closed her eyes and moaned like it felt good. Axel leaned in, lips by my ear. “Watch this.” He pulled a silver blade from his waistband. It was long, sharp and glowed faint blue from whatever poison coated it. He raised it high straight to my chest. At that moment, I had no strength left to move, so I just closed my eyes. Ethan’s scream made my eyes open fully. He was running at full speed towards me.

I called but was met with silence. I wrapped the towel tightly around my check and walked over to it. There was a card on top of the box and I sat on the bed and read. 'Red, Can't wait to see you in them. You always look stunning. Love, Jack' I took it out of the box and gasped at how beautiful and soft it was. "Oh my god," I chocked out and ran my hand through it. It was a beautiful red dress with a low v neck and a low back and a high slit. There was also a pair of black shoe with red crystals on it.

He knows he's got to prove he's tough enough and deserving enough to marry Jess. Blade trailed the knife around his throat and then down his chest towards his crotch. He stabbed right between Axel's legs into the chair merely inches from his cock. Axel still didn't move or speak. "Think we got a tough guy here, huh Sarge?" Ryder asked. "My turn." Ryder pulled out his gun. He aimed at Axel's right leg and pulled the trigger. It just clicked. Axel did close his eyes but immediately opened them. He aimed at the left leg, click. Axel clenched his jaw.

* *Clang! In a matter of seconds, a reddish-pink fire aura began to form around the attacker's hand as Ravyn let go. The trapped sword slashed through the flesh and aimed at Ravyn as she raised her pistol to block the attack. *Screech…* "Meeting you again, little girl. That new gun looks nice." Said the eagle-eyed woman, pushing her sword forward as Ravyn tightly gripped her gun and retaliated. *Scraaape…* "Olivia the Lacerator"

But before he could reach me, the blade’s energy surged again, and I was thrown backward, the force slamming me into the stone wall. As I lay there, dazed and gasping for breath, I could feel the blade’s energy resonating with my bond, pulling at it like a riptide. Rigel knelt beside me, his face pale with worry, but I couldn’t focus on his words. All I could see was the blade, still glowing with that ominous red light, and the terrifying realization that it wasn’t just reacting to my bond—it was feeding off it.

—the Glass Empire’s elite, faceless in their matte-black tactical gear and sleek, insect-like visors. The drama erupted into a frantic, close-quarters struggle. Sloane was a whirlwind of desperate violence. She wasn't just fighting for her life; she was fighting for Julian’s last breaths. She used the environment she knew by heart, sliding under fallen beams and appearing behind pillars. She dispatched the first two with her Beretta, the cracks of the gunfire echoing like thunder in the hollow building. The third she met with her ceramic blade, driving it through the gap in his armor with a primal scream.

The massive Nullifier lunged forward, slamming a six-foot steel riot shield into the debris, his heavy boots skidding through the frozen slush. Beside them, Rylan was already moving like a beast unhinged. His Alpha dominance was flaring hot, a heavy, suffocating weight that made the air feel thick. He didn't use a rifle. He had two heavy combat blades out, his dark eyes locked onto the shapes leaping through the smoke. "They brought everything, Korr!" Rylan yelled, his teeth bared in a bloody snarl. "That bitch Vex emptied her entire perimeter for this!"

"Fine. Give me the weapon." Juvien’s massive white paws twitched in her sleep while a low, unconscious growl rumbled through the tether at the mention of Clara. Riven reached into the swirling mist without another word and drew out a blade made of pure, solid silver light. It hummed softly in the silence, sharp, hungry, and cold as death itself. I wrapped my fingers around the hilt as the silver burned against my palm, but I held on tighter. Let Damien mark Clara if he wants. When I get back, he’ll see exactly what happens when Sienna stops running.
