Stray Arrow Novels & Stories

The boys quickly formed a defense stance behind each other giving me the chance to look at the source of such a strong voice. The tattooed stranger! “And who are you to tell us that?” The leading guy asked, his voice hard unlike that of a teenager he is. “Someone who can break your bones and dumb them in a police cell if you don’t leave this minute” he threatened It’s highly unhealthy how his strong command makes my painties wet in the face of danger. I must be going crazy.. The boys ran away in a matter of seconds leaving just the two of us in the area. “Uhhhm…. Thanks” I managed to say

Outside, loud music blasted—a tradition when our group of friends gathered. I screamed and shouted, but no one heard my cries. As he smeared sticky saliva over my face, all I could do was struggle to grab a lamp from the bedside desk, smashing it over his head. Then, I made a run for it, stumbling towards the window. Jeremy was like a monster, relentlessly chasing me after he recovered. I threw myself over the windowsill, and as I hit the ground, I clearly felt warm blood gushing out between my legs, as if a life was slipping away.

“No one leaves.” “No one enters.” “And find the archer.” ⸻ High above… A lone figure stood atop the shattered bell tower. A hood concealed the stranger’s face. A long black cloak danced wildly in the mountain wind. Another arrow rested calmly against the bowstring. Unlike ordinary arrows… Its shaft had been carved from white ash wood. Blue symbols glowed faintly along its length. The stranger quietly whispered, “Forgive me…” Then released another shot. ⸻ The second arrow struck the Fourth Bell.

An arrow flew straight at us. Pain exploded in my shoulder as the arrow struck. “No!” Gib screamed, scrambling toward me as I tried to crawl out from under the hut. I reached for the arrow, desperate to pull it out, but a hunter grabbed my wrist. “Don’t! You’ll spread the poison!” The Duwlamarey let out an ear-splitting shriek, its fluid form rippling violently as if reacting to the chaos around it. The ground beneath us trembled like an earthquake was brewing.

“Shit. Listen, crunch through the trees. Footsteps. Heavy. Controlled.” A crunch echoes through the trees. Then another. Footsteps. Heavy. Controlled. Metal shifts softly. “They’re here,” Kat growls, grabbing my wrist hard, her grip bruising. “They’re here?” I choked out. “Kat, what the hell are they? Serene, you picking up more? Talk to us!” The hiss cut the air. An arrow slammed into the trunk above us, splinters raining down. The shaft quivered, black wood gleaming, silver tip carved with a strange symbol.

The gesture is anything but friendly. I force him to move, bringing the others into his field of vision. "You know. Here in Lastgrove, we're not always fans of strangers." I say, keeping my voice light, but the look in Bruce, Ronan, and Reece's eyes says otherwise. He looks at them one by one, and I can see the radars in his head working. As if he's wondering what his chances of survival would be if he made a move on the four of us. Poor guy.

It rages wildly piercing the mist. Altarria shifts her weapon back to a bow again. She takes two arrows and aims to her left. The mist is still covering the surroundings. She breathes in and tries to stand steadily. She charges her arrows and they glow in red. Red lightning emits from them. She changes her bow position to horizontal. She moves from the wall and releases the arrows.

I crouched low, every hair on my body on alert. The eyes left, taking with them the horrible sensation of being watched. I relaxed but not fully. I can't sense them anymore, Astrid said. I was confused, someone came all the here to shoot just one arrow at me. He missed so why didn't he shoot another? I walked towards the angle where the arrow came from, I inhaled deeply. It was as I thought, there was no scent. I shifted back into my human form and removed the arrow from the tree with a grunt. There was something hidden at the bottom of the arrow, I pulled it out. It was an envelope.

"You walk in front and we'll ride behind, so we can see what you're doing Tom Sevenstrings bowed deeply and said, "Before, behind, it makes no matter. Come along, lads, let's show them the way. Anguy, best pull up those arrows, we won't be needing them here Arya sheathed her sword and crossed the road to where her friends sat on their horses, keeping her distance from the three strangers. "Hot Pie, get those cabbages," she said as she vaulted into her saddle. "And the carrots too

Arrows littered the sky as they fell to their targets. Me and Arizer ran into the fight, I let loose so many arrows hitting beast after beast. While Arizer was using his at my side.
