Salish Matter Secret Room Novels & Stories

She said all beaming. “You ready to train with us today, Kier?” Galen asked as my mom opened the secret door. “You bet I am.” She smiled and walked through with us all. She had not known about the second secret room and was puzzled as to why we stopped and watched my mom until she opened the door with her shield. “Wow, I've never seen you use your shield and what is with this other room?” She said amazed. “It is a fireproof room for us to practice our shield bombs,” Galen said to Kieran as she looked around.

She released a soft sigh and whispered, "There's a secret room in this house, a sanctuary where Jasmine kept her secrets. It holds the letters and baubles that reveal it all." I walked on ahead determinedly. "Take me there," I told her. The maid stopped and then led me down a dimly lit passageway behind a solid door. "This room is concealed for a reason," she cautioned. "Not many individuals are aware that it even exists." There was a small table inside with a pile of letters tied up in a red ribbon, some sort of jewelry, and an old picture of smiling Jasmine and some unknown man. I gestured toward the picture. "Who is he?" I snarled.

The keypad let out a high-pitched beep, and the steel door hissed open. “Go!” Elias pushed me inside, following swiftly as the door sealed shut behind us. The room was vast and cold, lined with towering shelves filled with sealed boxes and files. In the center stood a massive safe with digital locks. “This is it,” Elias said, his voice filled with grim determination. “Selene’s secrets are in there.” As we moved toward the safe, a red light flickered on the wall. I frowned. “What is that?” Elias’s face darkened. “A motion sensor.”

It is simply unbelievable and I would not be surprised if those two traitors shall be waiting to murder you when you get back to your room,” Kris replied. “Secret corridor from my room ? But my room is on the first floor !” I stated confused. “Yeah so ?” Kris retorted with a huff of amusement. “Girls and their fucking

He watched her for a moment, then sat in the armchair beside her. “So…” she said, pretending to be casual. “Tell me a secret about the mansion. Something that isn’t in the books.” Dmitry raised an eyebrow, relaxing in the chair. “Do you really want to know?” “Of course.” “There’s a hidden room behind the fireplace in my office. A place where the clan leaders would meet to make… delicate decisions. No records. No witnesses.” “That sounds like something out of a political thriller.” “Or a real story that never made it onto paper.” He replied, with a slight dark tone in his voice. “The mansion holds many secrets. But now you are part of it.”

’ Tears pricked behind my eyes, and my fingers shook as I typed. ‘I’m okay. For now. Can’t talk. Hidden room. Misha put me in here, said people are coming. Probably armed. He looked prepared. Not panicked, just like he’d done this before. There’s a flashlight. Water. Dead burner phone. I can’t hear anything outside. Just waves.’ Sadie's typing bubble appeared immediately. ‘Wait. What?? Are you saying he has a panic room? That he just stuffed you inside it?’ ‘Yes. It’s behind an armoire. Sealed tight. He told me to lock it and told me not to come out until I heard his voice. No matter what I hear outside.’

The grand celebration lasted long into the evening, but as the last of the city officials departed and the echoes of laughter and champagne toasts faded into the polished wood of the bookshelves, Clara and Elias found themselves alone. The "Secret Story Room" was lit only by a few recessed warm lights, making it feel like a sanctuary floating in the middle of a vast, silent ocean of books. The air here was still, smelling of old parchment and the faint, sweet scent of the cedar beams Elias had fought so hard to include.

He had no idea where I was taking him or what was coming next. The doors opened straight into my private floor. I walked through the hidden door at the back of the main living area that most people would never notice. My secret base. Soundproof, secure, and stocked with everything I needed to handle disobedient boys like Aiden. I laid him down on the wide bed in the middle of the room and locked the door behind me with a soft click. First thing I did was grab a clean black blindfold from the drawer. I slipped it over his eyes even though he was out cold. Better safe than sorry. He did not need to see the place yet or worse of all see me. Not until I decided he could.

He said that the party is about to start and we need to get ready. But I couldn't see Zac. Where is he? I asked the man about him. He's still in the secret room, resting. Good thing the man is stupid. And he told me where the secret room is! The two cowgirls started dancing while I ran towards the secret room. I had to hurry, girls, or they might call me to dance and it would ruin my plan. Found you! The secret room had a painting of the Mona Lisa. I press Mona Lisa's nose, and the door on the side automatically opens.

“How many rooms are here?” “Twelve, six on either hallway. The God Sin's rooms are on the first floor and are off limits to the others,” she explained softly as she hesitated briefly before gesturing to the right hall. “Take the second door down the right hall. The first room is Salem's. I will return shortly with a dress for you to wear along with some other clothing items.” Raising my eyebrow, I asked her if she needed my size, causing her to snicker. “No, I'm gifted, so there's no need. I will be back in a flash,” she replied, then was gone before I could blink my eyes.
