Stranger Things In The Sky Novels & Stories

Just then, my phone buzzed with a call from my leader. "Marvin, the chopper's landed at the hospital for your granddad. Where are you? I'll send someone to get you."

Karina cried out in fright. "Layla, you cheap b—" She never finished; the rest of it lodged in her throat. Those below couldn't see clearly. All they could tell was that I'd appeared at Karina's side, and that her head had tilted strangely to one side. But the people on the second floor saw it plainly! I was holding a pistol, its muzzle pressed to Karina's temple. The smile hadn't left my face. "The auctioneer's asking you. Care to raise?"

"They are punching a hole in the sky." Above New York, the stars vanished. The night sky didn't turn black; it turned a bruised, sickly Violet. Swirling clouds formed a vortex directly above the Sterling Estate. HUUUUUMMMMMM. A sound, so deep it vibrated teeth, resonated across the city. Car alarms went off everywhere. Glass in the mansion shattered. "My head," Nova fell to her knees, clutching her temples. "He's screaming... he's screaming my name..." "Who is?!" Serenity ran out, grabbing Nova.

Stiles stood in the middle of the room, looking like his head was about to explode. “Wait, wait, wait!” Stiles yelled. “I am totally lost! Back up the bus! What do you mean Sky didn't kill him? Was he supposed to kill him? Is Sky—is he a professional hitman? Am I missing a huge chapter of the story here? Is everyone in this room a secret agent except for me? What's going on? Or….” Stiles’s eyes went wide in realization as he turned to Sky. “Wait... Sky, are you actually a—”

"What could be worse than ancient vampires?" Elder Sarah looked at me with eyes that were full of fear. "The end of everything," she said. Just then, one of the younger pack members came running up to us. "Beta Elias!" he said, breathing hard. "Elder Sarah! You need to come quickly!" "What's wrong?" I asked. "There's something wrong with the sky," he said. "Look!" I looked up, and what I saw made my heart stop. The sky was changing. What had been normal blue was now streaked with red and black. And in the distance, toward the town where Noah and Daisy were, the sky was completely dark. Not night-dark.

Just a full tank of gas, six impossible teenagers, and a year we already named ours. The sun climbs higher. The marks on our wrists flare once (bright, proud). And somewhere above the Ozarks, thunder laughs like it’s been waiting for this exact moment since the day we were born. Summer is over. The sky? The sky just got started. The Sky Court Sends an Invitation September 3, 2029 – somewhere west of Amarillo, 2:14 a.m. The sky cracked open at 2:14 a.m. and started bleeding auroras.

The sky — once dark and heavy — slowly began to clear. Little cracks of soft blue light peeked through. Rowan looked up and nearly smiled. “It’s coming back. The real sky.” Ava stared in awe. Cullen sighed in relief. Even the elites stared at the sky like they had never seen it before. Then— A loud crack ripped across the sky. Not thunder. Not lightning. Something else. Something big. Something heavy. Rowan frowned. “What was that?” I looked up. And I saw something dropping fast—

Theodore hesitated, clearly unsure how to answer. After a moment, Theodore finally spoke. "I saw something in the sky," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "It was moving strangely, and it didn't look like anything I'd ever seen before. It... it didn't seem natural." The officer's expression became even more serious. "You saw something in the sky that you couldn't identify?" he asked. Theodore nodded. "Yes," he said, his voice still shaking.

Ava gasped, clutching her head as a sharp pain lanced through her temples. The Stranger cursed softly, his gaze snapping upward toward the cosmic fracture. "Too late. The barrier is entirely gone." The fracture suddenly expanded with a violent, deafening rip. A massive crack of jagged silver light split across the heavens, tearing the sky wide open from horizon to horizon. The ominous, deep heartbeat that resided beyond reality suddenly accelerated, throwing off its slow, ancient rhythm. *Boom. Boom. Boom.* Something was coming. Something massive, fast, and driven by an incomprehensible momentum.

“Make sure you get some tonight. You need a stress reliever.” I rolled my eyes at her and chuckled. Dark storm clouds started to roll in. Storms in Montana were pretty impressive when you could see them during the day. Every time I saw those big dark gray clouds roll in, it sent a chill down my spine. The wind blew as if to prove me right. I loved storms, but they kind of scared me too, because I had seen the damage they could do.
