The Last Field Party Novels & Stories

I had known this for a long time. My eyelids felt so heavy. I was ready to go. I was so tired. Selena was crying loudly, but I couldn't comfort her anymore. On April 20th, I closed my eyes for the last time and slipped away.

"The lake." Her chest rose with the deep breath she took, and the beat in the vein on the side of her head hadn't slowed. Then she released the air along with a whistle. "All night?" "No. There was a field party at Twin Creeks." One of the largest farms in town also happened to be owned by my boyfriend-or rather, his parents. Sarah's shoulders relaxed, and she regained her normal color. "You were with Austin?"

The field was scorched but eerily still. The air smelt of blood and burnt earth. The camp was eerily calm, there was no sound of celebration of victory. Injured wolves limped around, helping one another and dragging their dead bodies through the wreckage on the battlefield. The crack in the earth has been sealed But there was no celebration. Because their leader, Tristan was gone, he had paid the ultimate price for all of them and something still stirred beneath the soil.

Narayan busy on his laptop as if scanning through to have some knowledge of what had happened, they watched him wear a grin on his face an indication that he didn't like what he saw, Chelsea using her watch when she scanned and saw what he was looking at, he saw him watching the part at which the women at the fence had run away after one of their own had been slaughtered by the robot and she immediately erased it. "Welcome my son, I want you to explain something about what happened last night because I am not having clear view of the pictures, it seems something has tampered with my system," Mr. Narayan spoke as he raised his big eyes to look around and then immediately went back to what he

He had been trying to scold me since, but kept mute due to Elara's presence, but now she excused herself to make a call, his bravado shot up out of nowhere. Too bad, he doesn't have my respect anymore. I got up and looked around the field again, feeling nostalgic as memories of me and the six Alphas with Lilith running around in laughter, flashed through my mind. This field became banned after the unfortunate incident that happened here, some years back. "Enough day-dreaming, time to play," Gittens yelled and I noticed two old men and a woman sitting under the tenth. Pearl arrived to join them and gave me a thumbs up.

“You have to know that, right?” She glanced down at my hand, interlacing her fingers with mine. She mumbled something about the days of the week, but nodded. “Yeah. I do.” We drove another fifteen minutes before I pulled into an opened field where the football team used to party after home games. It sat in-between Zachary and LSU, but it was quiet, besides the cicadas singing and the low hum of the trees tossed in the wind.

I’m happy to hear that it’s finished.” “Thanks, Sav and I will agree with the girls. North Carolina has not been the same without you.”

I stared at the picture for a long time.
