Running Novels & Stories

They now show us a small winged animal with a very sharp nose. "A trochumm," Professor Runn says with a smile as he spins around. "A very small animal but incredibly fast, a minimum speed of 75 miles an hour, and is almost always moving. Very rarely had anyone ever seen one of them stop. Some fighters believe they never stop moving at all. Can anyone tell me anything more about this speedy animal?" Most of the students raise their hands but Corentin and I are among the few that don't." "Hmm," Professor Runn says, tapping his chin as lightning speed as he stares at us. "You. Over there. The boy sitting next to the girl with very bright orange hair!"

"What are you doing on the beach anyway. It's like the middle of December. It's cold you know." "Sunsets, the sea, and refreshing winds. What else could it be?" She said. "Not that cold after all. Well, even though it's a little bit chilly." "You need to stop running away you know?" I said just when the wind hit my body. I saw Autumn shivered and hugged her legs as her hair flew freely. "I'm not running away. I just need to release stress. My wolf is so annoying." She said and put her head on her knees.

POV Ruby "I can do this. I can do this. I HAVE to do this." I mumbled to myself as I wobbled out of my room. It was late or early, depending on your point of view. I had managed to send them all home a few minutes ago. Mom, Slivia and Cassy all wanted to spend the night but I had argued and Varg drove them home with promises that they would be back in a few hours. I knew that I had to be quick but I needed to see it. To be sure.

I turned off my phone and cried all the way home. I went straight to the refrigerator to grab my wine. I needed to calm my nerves. I pulled out my phone, turned it on, and called Kita. "Hey , girl what's up? I'm kind of in the middle of some." She answered the phone out of breath. "Nothing, just call me back when you get time."

Ruta answered seriously while balling his fists. “Ooohh…” Yuta replied eerily. “Moving faster, huh? But won’t you get tired easily then?” Yuta asked the suddenly serious Ruta while subtly glancing at Jai’s direction, pretending to be interested. Ruta nodded firmly. “Yes! But Brother Jai said I can move faster without getting tired if I raise my stamina! So I have to run every day because I can raise my stamina by running.” Yuta nodded profusely. “Hm. Hm. I see… So running isn’t just to keep our body healthy, but it can also raise your stamina… That is a very good thing to know, isn’t it?”

Astrid's POV: My wolf moved swiftly through the dense forest with powerful legs propelling it forward with ease. The sound of her paws hitting the soft ground echoed through the woods. Her thick fur coat rippled in the wind as she weaved in and out of the trees, her sharp senses attuned to the slightest noise or movement. With each bound, my wolf covered great distances, her movements fluid and graceful. As she ran, her piercing eyes scanned her surroundings, searching for any sign of danger or prey.

"I hate the distance. I hate that I created it by being afraid. I hate that my default response to vulnerability is to run." "I know," Eli said. "I want to stop doing that," I said. "But I don't actually know how to exist any other way. I've spent so long maintaining control that the idea of just... surrendering to what I feel is terrifying." Eli stood up and moved closer to me. "I'm not asking you to surrender," he said. "I'm asking you to stay. While you figure it out. While you're scared. While you're learning. Just... stay instead of running."

Run. I’m barefoot running through the forest. I can’t remember how I got here, but I know I gotta get the fuck out. My legs are moving faster than my feet. I can’t keep up. Shit. I fall to the ground and quickly bounce back up into my sprint. The rocks and roots under my feet don’t even hurt. I reach the highway.

This neighborhood was too unsafe to take chances. Jogging is the only way Roy has been able to organize his thoughts. He doesn’t run. He hates running because it takes his breath away. He gets so tired so easily that he’s already catching his breath after one flight of stairs. Hailey was a better runner. The athlete of the family. He’s halfway down the block when he realizes that someone’s been tailing him—and wasn’t even covert about the fact. He turns around just as a streak of grey flashes before his eyes and a thick stench fills the air.

[LILA] Lila races through the dense forest, her paws striking the earth with relentless speed. The world around her is a blur, the scents of moss and bark barely registering as she focuses solely on the chase. Ahead, the blue-eyed wolf’s scent grows fainter, but Lila pushes herself harder, determined to close the distance. Her instincts scream at her to catch up, to protect, to keep the young wolf within her reach.
