The Mountain Is You Thriftbooks Novels & Stories

Four Days Later "I sold her couches off." You hiss, slipping away from Zale's arm that's been circling your waist. "They were very uncomfortable and she wouldn't buy a new set, so I did." The weather is the kind that feels like a kiss of summer without the fiery heat of noon time in August. The grass is a soft green that almost has a hint of blue and in the sky is enough pristine white cloud to show you how beautiful the sky was, how perfect.

Presently I'm prepared. Putting my knapsack on the tile floor, the items tumbling out of its controls, I start to stack my books and covers on top of one another. Then, I put the pinnacle of school supplies in the rucksack, its zippered top open. I handle the handles on one or the other side, venturing onto the small mountain like I had arranged hours sooner.

Silently quoting Raymond’s words to myself: Just love her, Show up, Learn as you go. I swallowed hard. Because now? The mountain didn’t just have wings. It had vibrant colors. It was full of promise—and a few terrifying steep slopes. And in the middle of all that, was our little life waiting to start.

Bree and Lana are counting on me to save them. Taking another deep breath, I rise from my perch and continue to walk. I run my tongue over my dry lips, trying to lubricate them. That's when I see a large shadow from a distance. I blink my eyes taking a few steps closer when I see that it's actually a large mountain. It has jagged ridges that stick out menacingly from the top and a large crevice in the middle. The mountain is not connected to the ground, though. Its surrounding area is a drop-off. It looks like a moat, but instead of water, it’s surrounded by small rock needles. It reminds me of the mountain in the movie Lord of the Rings with its foreboding veneer and spooky-looking rock moa

I woke naked at the top of Moonlight Mountain, sprawled near the cliff’s edge. I didn’t remember climbing here, but the view stole my breath away. From this height, I could see everything, our pack’s vast territory stretching out below, Alpha’s mansion sleek and gleaming in the distance. My gaze shifted further, to the university. MMU, Moonlight Mountains University. I could just make out students rushing to take their classes for finals. A thrill rushed through me. Soon, I’d be one of them.

There I saw a stone that had a the word APERTA inscribed on it. “APERTA?” I said out loud while tracing the letters with my fingers. I felt a spark from my fingertips once I read the word out loud. I withdrew my hand quickly and held it up to my face while I blew on it. The mountain began to open right in the middle and exposed an entrance to a cave. “Ummm.. maybe we can go in through here” I said to the guys while pointing to the entrance. Both turned and looked equally shocked seeing the opening in the middle of the mountain. “How ? Where the hell that come from?” Trevor aske

Felix’s face turned ugly as he snarled, “What do you mean by that, Qiana?” Lily rolled her eyes at Felix and chimed in, “It means that you don’t qualify to go up the mountain with us, understand? People from a small town are the same. You’re all fools!”

“Wow,” Mia sighed as she couldn't take her eyes off the pyramid-shaped mountain with the blanket of snow on top. "Isn't that very beautiful?" the girl muttered, pressing her palms against the glass wall in front of her. "So, how is it, Mia? Is that mountain exactly the same as the one in your favorite chocolate packaging?” Julian whispered while wrapping his lover's back with his body.
