Stillhouse Lake Novels & Stories

Now all they had to do was wait, wait until she returned. River rode down to Keystone, to see Mount Rushmore. The drive was so beautiful. If you’ve never been up there, then you are missing out. The beautiful, huge, green pine trees, even the dead trees lying on the ground were mesmerizing. There’s a reason they called that small town Deadwood. The breeze, the air quality, the mountains, the lakes…speaking of lakes, Lake Pactola and Lake Sheridan, are beyond magnificent. Nothing like Lake Houston, River thought and giggled. Stopping at both lakes, to her surprise they were still icy cold and it was about to be June.

Shimmer Lake, our destination, was a mere twelve feet from us, sparkling, as its name implied, in the sunlight. Tall, skinny pine trees and some birch fell all over each other to create dark, mysterious tangles of trees all around the lake. Not that all of the lake could be seen from this one spot. According to Hank, you could portage through seven lakes just by accessing this one. The lakes we’d be fishing were Shimmer Lake, North Shimmer, and Little Shimmer. “Okay, everybody out! We need to unload, then the menfolk need to get the boats in the water,” Hank said.

Mhir muttered and looked at Kulv who was just silent. “Kulv?” Laggas called as he walked towards Kulv. “What the hell is going on with you?” he asked with a frown on his face. “’Dream Lake’?” Skye muttered after he heard what Hierro whispered to him. “’Dream Lake’? What is that?” Mahi asked. “It is a lake underneath the Mirror Lake.” Loheiruchel spoke. “There is another lake beneath this one?” Laggas was surprised as he looked at the Mirror Lake.

It was a nice night to go for a swim in a lake or something. She didn’t realize she had thought aloud until she heard Jimmy’s voice behind her. “There’s a lake if you’re looking for one.” He said and she turned to face him, seeing him raised his hand to point towards where he was talking about. “It’s right at the edge of the mountain near the West Vally Bridge. It’s a nice lake, really. Can’t be dark out there too because of the big lights from the bridge.” “Oh, really? Isn’t that just great?” She said, smiling. “Well, thank you, Jimmy. I have to go now. I’ll see you back at the house.”

The mate bond blinds him to what's happening right before his eyes. The road narrowed as we climbed higher, pine forests giving way to spectacular views of a pristine lake nestled between towering peaks. The water shimmered like liquid silver in the afternoon light. "There it is," Elena said with pride. "Silver Lake." The retreat emerged like something from legend – a stunning estate with a main house of timber and stone overlooking the water, surrounded by private cabins nestled among ancient pines. Stone pathways wound between buildings, bordered by gardens filled with rare mountain flowers. Elena took charge immediately upon arrival. "Aurora will take the cabin nearest ours," she instruct

Sure enough, about five minutes before we were supposed to reach our destination, the road curved and opened into a valley, at the center of which was a lake. “There’s a dam here for some of the hydroelectric power that Packhaven uses,” Ed explained. “So, this reservoir is a man-made lake. That doesn’t make it any less important. There’s no recreation allowed on this lake. But there is hiking allowed in the foothills around it.” “If you really want a good view of it, I suggest hiking up on one of the bluffs where you can see the panoramic view. It makes for wonderful pictures. I’ve taken my wife and kids out here a couple of times. Pack a picnic, and it’s a nice day trip.”

When I tell them what I am ordering the pizzas for I can tell that they are hesitant to feed the witches but at the gentle reminder that I am here as well they decide that they can get the pizzas here rather quickly. I chuckle as I begin to study some of the lakes once again. One is this gorgeous teal color with a small waterfull built out of stone on one side and even some boulders and random points around the lake that can be used as seats. There are actual lounge chairs that are added in areas as well as some picnic tables and even a hidden cave in the falls. Not too surprisingly, the witch that was caught sneaking out last night is on this team and manages to blush when I look at her wit

Seven fragile, borrowed days where nobody shouted her name through closed doors, where no one watched her with contempt disguised as concern, where silence did not feel like the warning sign before cruelty. The lakeside rental sat at the edge of a quiet stretch of land beyond the city, hidden behind rows of pine and narrow gravel roads barely touched by traffic. It was not luxurious, though after the Rutherford estate, almost anything would have seemed humble in comparison. The house was small and painted white, with dark wooden railings wrapping around the porch and large windows overlooking the water. At night, the lake reflected the moonlight like black glass disturbed only by gentle ripp

Then, she looked away again. As the name suggested. Dragon Lagoon had a lake within its grounds. It was a man-made lake of more than ten acres and was filled with running water. Because the lake was managed well, the water was so clear that the bottom could be seen. There were also lights at the bottom of the lake. When they turned on the lights at night, all the creatures in the water could be seen clearly. "What's the thing you wanted to show me?" Stella was dragged to the lakeside, but she did not see anything. So, she could not help but ask.

It had been tough for her, and at times, based on her emotions, I was sure she thought there wasn't a smidgen of magic talent within her. Today, we were going to a picnic spot beside the lake on the Silver Wolf Pack side. The place is incredibly serene and beautiful.
