Novel & Cerita Taste Of Sky By Ventrecanard

"I've been flying from town to town.. From London to Taiwan... I've been all around the globe.. Trying to protect your soul.." Nica did not realize that she was about to finish the food because she was enjoying listening to the voice of the man singing. His hoarse voice nearly made her want to fall in love. "We are heroes tonight.. We will fly above the sky.. We are heroes tonight, yeah.. We are heroes tonight.. We will fly above the sky.. We are heroes tonight, yeah.." Nica wondered how he looks like. His attractive lips she saw that night. "I'm feeling like a dynamite..

"Fear isn't weakness, dear. Sometimes it's just recognition of how much something matters." “Right,” she muttered. Riley’s eyes narrowed slightly, but she said nothing. After a while, they sat down on an open field. “I’m having fun,” Sky announced suddenly. Riley blinked. “Good?” “I mean it,” Sky added quickly. “This is fun.” “Excellent,” Riley said. “Because you sounded like you were trying to convince yourself.” Sky frowned. “No, I didn’t.” “You absolutely did.” They stopped at a stall selling handmade candles. Sky sniffed one labeled Ocean Breeze.

The sight of the dough soaking up the grey fat made her vision swim with nausea. “Now, the dark nectar,” Tyler said, prying the lid from her cup and thrusting it at her. She began to pour the sweet liquid, but Ryan’s hand suddenly clamped over hers, forcing the entire contents to splash into the bowl in a single, muddy surge. The table erupted in predatory laughter. “And a dash of fire to ignite the spirit,” Glenn smirked, splashing a heavy dose of crimson chili-extract into the mess. “I believe a contribution from the Southern Vines is in order,” Matt added, emptying a dark, fizzing bottle of fermented juice into the mixture.

Yanran, who did not laugh easily, made a sound that was not quite a laugh but was its close neighbor, and Nothing shifted on her lap and she moved her hand very carefully to his ear and scratched, and he allowed it, which was as close to an endorsement as he gave anyone anymore. The mountain held them in the warm evening. One year. There was so much more to come. ✦ ✦ ✦

“I…he… look he’s not distributing it. Like I said rake venom is banned. They’re cooking it in large doses.” “Who’s they?” Estelle asked. “Locus, give me a beer and another one for my new friend,” a scruffy man with a thick beard demanded. Gross, I thought. He slapped my ass so hard I was sure it would leave a mark. He barked out a laugh afterwards. “Hey! Hands to yourself buddy!” Estelle yelled. “Not now, Estelle,” I said through clenched teeth. “A feisty one. I’m a lucky man today.”

The strip club. Not here for lust. Not a dance. It is a trance. Forget it all. Inside smelled like liquor…not the cheap kind though. Men danced under the strobe lights with bodies moving to tease. I ignored them and made a beeline for the bar. "Whiskey," I muttered to the bartender. "Double." The first glass burned, the second dulled, and the third blurred the contours of my pain. I drank until my thoughts slowed and Adrian's voice was no longer echoing in my consciousness.

They may not like me, but at least when they're near, other students can't kill me. Ahead of me, Rowan, Seyla, and Lyra, all link arms as they giggle in excitement. I slow my pace slightly to keep a distance. I don't want my sour mood to bring down theirs. I glance up at the night sky, and I gasp. I stop walking altogether as I take in the millions of stars lighting the sky. I almost forgot how beautiful the night sky is.

“You should have seen your face. I wish I’d taken a picture.” I frowned. Something was definitely wrong with this girl. I couldn’t believe I had believed her so easily. I mean, surely if someone could make someone vanish, kill another person’s cat and slash a teachers tires, there was no way they would still remain a student at this school. “Ha ha, very funny,” I said, regretting my decision to stop and talk to her. “But he’s really dangerous though,” she said with her mouth filled with food. “And you crossed him. But in case you need help, come to me and I’ll help you with my voodoo magic.”

“Whenever I see you fly, I always have that thought that maybe you know what is the taste of the sky.” “Taste of sky? Nonsense.” Sonja looked up at the cloudless blue sky. “Sometimes, too much freedom will make you feel as if you are lost. Having someone to go back to is still the best.” Not waiting for Diana to spout nonsense again, Sonja started walking away again. Just when Diana thought that Sonja would shift to her form, Sonja stopped. “I have tasted the sky and got lost in it… Thank you for giving me back my sense of direction.”

Candles flickered, casting a soft golden glow over Sky’s face as she grinned at the crowd. “Alright,” Sky said with mock solemnity. “Sing nicely or you’re all banned from cake.” “Like you could stop us,” Lucas said, but he still counted everyone in. The song started slightly off-key but loud, the kind of cheerful chaos that made Suzi’s heart swell. She joined in, her voice quiet but warm, watching Sky’s expression soften as everyone sang to her. Sky looked almost shy for a second, her fingers twisting together before she straightened and blew out every candle in one breath.
