The Night The Book Novels & Stories

I couldn't leave the girls alone, unaware of the threat lingering around. "Ana." Jaxon's call halted me again. I heard his footsteps near before a book was stretched to me. "Read this, and you'll have all your answers." *** Sitting in the small table in our kitchen with a large mug of coffee, I pulled out the book from my backpack. Dark color, leather binding and bold golden title; it was the same book Mr. Valerious took away from me in the library. The book of the forbidden creatures of night. It looked old, yet neat enough to know it had always been taken care of. Greatly.

She had already sprinted past the turnoff for her apartment building; leading these unknown killers to her safe house would be suicide. She needed to lose them in the dark, because if she failed to break their line of sight, she would likely end up as a corpse on an autopsy table by morning. The path ahead was pitch black, unlit by any city infrastructure, but her enhanced night vision handled the darkness without issue. Fortunately, she knew these back alleys like the back of her hand. Reaching the absolute end of the concrete maze, the narrow path finally opened up into the wide, brightly lit expanse of the multi-lane highway.

I ran until I couldn't run anymore, until I found myself standing in front of The Riverside Hotel three blocks away. The kind of place Damien and I couldn't afford but that businesspeople expensed without thinking about it. The lobby was all marble and gold accents. At the front desk, a young woman with perfect makeup smiled at me. "Can I help you?" "I need a room." My voice sounded distant. "Just for tonight." She didn't ask about luggage or why I looked like death. She just processed my credit card and handed me a key leading to Room 412. I made it inside, locked the door, and collapsed against it.

“Well, that’s Calvin for you.” There was no bitterness in her voice this time. Just indifference. Or at least she hoped it sounded that way. Ann studied her for a moment but said nothing. After a while, Sarah stood and stretched. “I’m going to bed.” “So early?” “I’ve earned it.” “Fair enough.” Sarah smiled. “Goodnight, Ann.” “Sleep well.” A few minutes later, silence settled over the apartment. Across town, however, sleep seemed determined to avoid Calvin Hart. He stepped into his penthouse apartment shortly after midnight and loosened his tie as he walked through the door. Normally, after a long social event, he would have welcomed the peace and quiet. Tonight, however, the silence felt unu

The night continued. *

But she remained silent and it didn't even laugh so I just kept quiet. The night ended happily so I was happy too. "Let's see, the night is getting a little darker. Maybe Axel is looking for you too," I invited her. "All right, that's good," she replied. I held her hand to help her walk. We walked back to their room at the same time. We caught up with the couple who were outside. They seemed to be talking deeply so we didn’t bother with it yet. I also said goodbye to Andrea and I didn't go in because I didn't want to spend the night on the road because I was already a little drunk.

She tilted her head, looking at Liana with a relaxed, casual curiosity in her dark eyes. ​"So..." Nina started, a subtle smirk playing on her lips. " what really happened last night? Who did you spend the night with?" ​Liana was mid-bite, and the question made her choke instantly. She coughed into her napkin, her eyes watering as she scrambled to grab her glass of water and take a quick gulp. ​"omg Nina! Its not what you think!" Liana stammered, setting the glass back down. "Oh yeah?" Nina smirtked smugly "then tell me where you went last night".

she said softly. I felt a warmth spread through my chest as I sat down on the vacant chairs in the library. I knew that even though the books I had been searching for were gone, there were still so many stories waiting to be told. I looked down at the book on the table, feeling a sense of connection to it, it seemed mysterious and unknown. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I ran my fingers over the embossed title: Nightstalkers; Hunting the Creatures of the Night.

She felt so badass. Ellie wanted to meet with the old Japanese couple she met in her shop but the two went on a trip abroad. But to make up for that, he and Ryo had a hiking trip and camped for a night. It was such a perfect night because there was a meteor shower then. The sky was so dark in the countryside and the stars twinkled against it. They stayed up huddled around a campfire and watched the meteors pass across the sky. It was so dreamy; it felt like they were in a movie.

"I think I will go for the romance novel for now." After breakfast, Jessica tugged into her room. This is my first time in her room. I glanced at the bed; the pillows were propped up against the headboard. A book was face down in the middle of the bed. I grinned and pointed to it "What’s the name of the novel you’re reading?” I asked. "Nightfalls, it’s a mystery novel." "Ohh, I thought you said you only have romance, streamy, and horror." "That novel ain’t mine, I spotted it in the library and decided to spend the night reading it." She admitted
