The Owl House Luz And Amity นิยาย & เรื่องราว

Owen found a box of thick pillar candles in the storage closet. They were leftovers from a cancelled reading event, vanilla scented. He carried them back to the main reading room, where Jax had arranged two of the heavy leather armchairs near the big window. The rain was still lashing against the glass, and the only light came from the occasional flash of lightning that lit up the room in stark, white bursts.

She didn’t meet my eyes as she left the room. I sat in silence for a while, the weight of her reaction was heavier than anything she could’ve said. The truth hung thick in the air now, and still somehow, I felt more alone than ever. Perhaps because I was. My world, as I knew it, was burning. And there was no one to help me. A cool breeze brushed my cheek, and I sat up sharply, startled. The window which Tamika had closed for the night was now slightly ajar. And there, perched on the sill, was a sleek black owl. Its eyes glowed with an amber color in the darkness of the night. In its beak, it held a folded piece of parchment sealed with deep blue wax.

Whatever mischievous idea Owen has was already making him feel so excited. "What's the plan, Owen?" Amaya asked the minute they were done laughing. "Umm..." Owen tapped on his chin as he thought of something. "I got it!" He half yelled in excitement. "Tell me, tell me, tell me." Amaya urged, equally excited to hear her brother's plan. "Okay, here's the plan..." Owen moved closer to her and whispered the plan to her ear. "I love it!" Amaya squealed with excitement. "Let's go find her." Owen took her hand and they both ran to search for Cruella.

Instead, I turned all the lights off in the house and checked on the kids in their rooms and Amber, who was sleeping soundly on the couch as she hugged a pillow under a blanket. I went to the kitchen and made myself a pot of coffee to help me think about what was going on. The wolves smelled different than any other wolf I had encountered. I made my mug of hot coffee and stood at the back window watching the guest house while thinking. Suddenly, the door of the guest house opened and I watched as Preston and Owen left in just their boxers and slipped into the shadows. What were they up to now?

Giggling at each other, we sneak up to my room. “Want to see what they are doing,” I ask Amy. “How are we going to do that, Layla?” “Follow me, and you have to be quiet.“ We sneak up to the attic crawling along the beams on the roof. “Only lean on the wood, Amy, or you will fall through the roof.” I put my hand to my mouth, telling Amy, “Shush,” before pointing to a crack in the plaster. “Look, we can see them through the cracks in the plaster" giggling, Amy leans over to look.

She looked back at the owl. “I don’t know.” The owl remained silent, then ruffled his feathers. “In a hurry you may be but there are answers you still seek for memories in constant flee.” The owl chimed and then spread his wings and flew over the walls around them before disappearing above the trees. Aria turned to Absalom with a scrunched nose. “He wants us to stay here.” “I hate that owl. We don’t have time for this.”

Lara recalled the cluster of security men converging on the helipad, blurred glimpses of an incredibly large white villa, and heat that only increased the nonstop pounding behind her temples. Jet lag had finally caught up with her. A rueful grimace slanted her face as she gingerly slid out of bed to gratefully appreciate that the ground beneath her feet was no longer rocking. It was dark outside. Locating the bedside light, Lara glanced at her watch. “8 pm… Are you kidding me?” The housekeeper, at least Lara assumed the warm, matronly woman who had come to her assistance was the housekeeper, had been a merciful savior. She had taken charge, banishing Christophe and helping Lara to bed.

It was already 9.30 p.m. in the quiet Belmont Hills, and the soon-to-be-demolished dilapidated buildings appeared even more eerie under the moonlight. Except for Olivia, none of the Cheshire family were asleep yet. Patrick and Susanne solemnly sat in the living room. The pale-faced Amber occasionally looked up at the small gold statue of Hygieia, the goddess of health, on the dining table. Her gaze was filled with sorrow. They had made a mistake.

“Fine. It wasn’t just any owl. Its face was… wrong. Like it was watching us..” Lily let out a sharp breath, leaning forward. “Yes! That’s it. The thing I saw.. it wasn’t human, but it wasn’t… it wasn’t just an animal either.” Rowan raked a hand through his hair, muttering curses. “Great. Fantastic. Two of you seeing nightmares, one of you screaming like it’s doomsday, and I’m supposed to keep this car in one piece.” I said dryly. “Your heroic driving saved us from a very menacing… owl.”

Oliver Lya’s own little army sat in the waiting room as she underwent surgery. Everyone seemed to be glaring at someone. Liam and I continued with our silent argument through looks alone, Jade and Jason - Lya’s supposed cousins - were arguing about whose fault it was they hadn’t realized Lya was a wolf, Thom kept his eyes locked on them as he rocked Kai, silently begging them to be quiet, Anna and Trevor were still in a staring contest about his refusal to let her start warrior training, and Cody was curiously enough shooting daggers at Jade. Marjorie was the only one sitting quietly, observing everything.
