Stars The Book Novels & Stories

We walk back to the pack house and the chat goes back to playful teasing, Zane is his usual quiet self but I can tell he is deep in thought, we approach the front of the house when he sees me looking over at him he looks at me stroking his stubbly chin. “Can we see this vampire book you were talking about before we head off?” “It’s not a vampire book but sure, go ahead straight to the kitchen and I will go grab it.” I left them both and headed upstairs to go get the book, when I came downstairs to the kitchen I couldn’t help but smile. Both Iris and Clara were still in the same place we had left them deep in animated chatter, it looked like they had been friends forever but that’s how Iris m

I’d be totally rizzed up. But for now, I can’t control my heavy-lidded eyes. I just had the longest and craziest day in life. I can’t ask for anything else but a bed. As soon as my body touches the bed, I fall into the deepest sleep. In this silent dark night, I am protected out of my knowledge by a group of powerful future military stars. Nothing could reach base in this dangerous deadly planet. All the danger are eliminated from the moment noticed by them. Leon sits on a sequoia tree. He looks down, that little tent he used to rest is under his eyes.

Ulan was talking about a popular book that stated different theories about the stars. Since the beginning of time, the people of Kabinihan had used the stars as guides to track time and related some incidents that had happened throughout their history with the stars that they believed were present when it happened. Because of this, some stars were given names by those who discovered them and the informations were written down until it was published into a book. Many still doubted the truthfulness of the given facts but to those who wanted to venture the wonders of the world, it served as an opening for them into finding a new existence besides Kabinihan.

Star poured the steaming tea into two delicate cups, and the aroma that wafted from it was soothing, like a gentle embrace in this moment of uncertainty. As I sipped the tea, I could feel its warmth spread through me, easing the tension that had built up. It was as if each sip was a step closer to clarity, a respite from the overwhelming choices before me. "Thank you," I murmured, appreciating both the tea and Star's nice gestures. But my mouth was left agape again when she flipped her hands and a book dangled in the air before it landed on her hands. My eyes still widened in astonishment as I watched the book that had floated in the air a while ago. It was a display of supernatural power th

Star’s jaw clenched. “Let’s be honest with each other, Stone, you don’t care what happened there, you’re here because you want to know how we escaped.” Stone’s smirk grew in slow motion and his hands rose in faux surrender. “You got me.” Star sighed and shook her head. The book was already perched on her bed, she retrieved it from her hiding place shortly after Amanda left expecting summons from Stone, but instead, he surprised her with a visit. Flipping open the spine of the large book, she lifted the sword from the bed and brought it down with force on a point on the map. The sharp edge tore through the page and the ones below, but she hardly flinched.

Sort of. My fingers fumbled toward the nightstand. I grabbed the glass of water Rosa always left there and downed half of it in one breath. But the shaking didn’t stop. I turned toward the small shelf near the window and reached for a book. The only thing that could slow my mind down enough to breathe. I flipped the lamp on. Its golden glow bathed the cover in warmth. “The Kingdom of Soft Stars.” A children’s fairytale. Sweet. Magical. It was about a young girl named Elara who could speak to the stars. But the stars only whispered at night—and only if you were brave enough to be alone in the dark.

She wasn’t scared. Hesitantly Laura walked up to her knelt beside her leaving a respectful space between them enough not to startle her. She told the child. “I didn’t expect to see you here” Silence. Silver eyes stared at Laura. The girl slowly closed the book slowly and oddly tilted her head in an odd way. Old soul. Laura noted. Laura glanced at the book“Tale of Moon-born wolves”. “I loved that book, especially the one about the wolf who talked to the stars.” Laura whispered

And the second time had been when I had found that strange book in the library ages ago. I had almost forgotten about that night, when those words had appeared on the page. The book had recounted the story of the ‘Silver Star’, a figure from legend who was said to possess magical abilities. Strange, that I would hear those words in my dreams like a vision from a past life: “Silver Star, remember who you are…” As I waited for the elevator, however, I shook off my lingering unease from last night’s nightmare. It was just that: a nightmare. That was it.

August asks. I was about to say no, about to close the book and find another one, when I suddenly flash through a small inscription on the inside part of the cover. It’s so tiny I can almost dismiss it as a blooming of mold or age. But it wouldn’t make sense with how pristine the book is. Besides, it’s embossed on the paper, stamped so that it would never go away. A six-pointed star. Cold air seems to run under my skin. I look at August and his face is unreadable. The realization dawns on us.

After the playful exchange, the team got back to their work. Stellar had grown increasingly adept in her research. With the final results just around the corner, they were almost ready to move into the next phase. Time passed quickly. The day before the book signing, Stellar received a call from Larry. "Stellar, have you seen today’s trending topics online?" "What’s going on?" she asked, instantly worried something had gone wrong with her book. She quickly pulled up the trending page. "It’s that new book topping the charts—After Dusk. The title and theme are really similar to yours, and it's been all over the internet these past couple of days.
