The Stranger In The Woods Audiobook 소설 & 이야기

A stranger that I literally just met while driving. “I’m going to the beach!” I say loudly. Oh goodness. He drives closer to me and I glance in his car for a quick second. It’s empty, he’s alone. “Same! Follow me, I know a great spot!” He says loudly and speeds a bit. His car is in front of mine and I follow it. I’m so crazy. I’m just the perfect girl for a horror or kidnapping book. I literally say yes to everyone. Why do I say yes to everyone!?

If we lingered, they would come after us. I stumbled as I tried to keep up, my exhausted body protesting every movement. My feet ached, my muscles burned, but I gritted my teeth and pushed forward. The stranger wove effortlessly between the trees, barely making a sound. Whoever they were, they had the precision and discipline of a warrior. Not a rogue, not a desperate wanderer, but something else entirely. After what felt like an eternity, we reached a small clearing. A lone cabin stood in the center, its wooden structure blending seamlessly with the surrounding forest. No lights, no signs of life. The stranger didn’t hesitate. They pushed the door open and ushered me inside.

He moved fast, like he knew exactly where he was going, and the further we got from camp, the more certain I was that I shouldn’t be doing this. But I couldn’t stop. Finally, he slowed near a clearing, glancing around before stepping into the shadows. I ducked behind a tree, my heart pounding, and that’s when I heard another voice. A stranger’s. I was too far from them to make out the words, but their tone was sharp and urgent. The rogue muttered something back and the stranger’s reply carried through the trees. He laughed. And it sent chills down my spine. I pressed myself against the bark, straining to catch more, but it was useless. The wind stole the words before they reached me.

They did not know the Stranger, and they were wary of trusting a mysterious figure they had just met in the forest. But the Stranger seemed sincere, and they knew that their journey through the forest would be much easier with a guide who knew its secrets. After a brief discussion, they agreed to follow the Stranger and see where it would lead them. And so, Rorik and Lyra set out on their quest to find the Tree of Life, with the Mysterious Stranger as their guide. They did not know what dangers and wonders lay ahead, but they were ready to face them with courage and determination. As they traveled deeper into the forest, the Stranger proved to be a valuable guide. It seemed to know the way t

His black leather jacket creaked as he moved, and his boots made barely a sound on the wooden floor. Tess's heart pounded in her chest as he stopped in front of her, his eyes burning with an intensity that left her breathless. "Mind if I join you?" he asked, his voice low and rough. Tess shook her head, her voice caught in her throat. The stranger sat down, his thigh brushing against hers, and the world narrowed to the two of them. They talked in hushed tones, their words lost in the music, but their body language speaking volumes. Liam, the stranger, was a man of few words, but his eyes spoke volumes. He told her about the woods that surrounded Willow Creek, and the secrets they held. He sp

“I don’t know what the fuck you are. But it’s not normal to smell the way you smell. Get the fuck out of my forest… or else.” A cold shudder quaked down my core. His forest? Who the hell was this guy? He pushed me away and I almost fell onto the trail. Part of me wanted to fight, to argue. I could taunt him and see what he was really made of, but right now, I knew better. If he was rogue, he would have killed me now. If he was one of the Shadow Boys, who knows what could have happened. But in this moment, the stranger wanted me out NOW.

His clothes were torn, his eyes pale and sunken, as if some disease had hollowed him from the inside. Her voice cracked. “Who the hell are you?” The stranger stepped inside, slow and deliberate, his boots crunching over stray pine needles on the floor. He didn’t bow. He didn’t ask permission. And that alone told her enough—he wasn’t Blackwood. “You’re her,” he rasped, voice like rusted chains dragging through gravel. “The human. The one marked by Wilder.” His smile split his face, too wide, too wrong. “He’ll want to know it’s true.”

How pace aligned without instruction. Midday brought heat. The wind turned dry. They paused beneath a lone tree for shade. It was small. Its branches thin. But it offered enough cover to soften the glare. You do not ask questions. The stranger’s voice broke the quiet. She leaned back against the trunk. Some answers are not ready yet. The stranger studied the horizon. And if they never are. Then they were not needed. A faint smile crossed their face. You are certain. No. But I am steady.

The questions multiplied like fractures in glass, each one threatening to shatter what little sense of self she'd managed to piece together. Dawn was breaking over the garden when Luna finally heard footsteps in the hallway. Heavy, uneven footsteps that didn't belong to Mrs. Patel or any of the usual staff. She pressed her ear to the door and caught the sound of someone fumbling with keys, followed by a muffled curse in Grayson's voice.

“I know something is off. That’s not Laurel upstairs. Her mannerisms are all wrong. Her habits. Her eyes. The handwriting style on Morel's school note last week did not resemble Laurel's handwriting. I squeezed the stair railing harder while my blood turned to ice. Dr. Shawty urged me to lower my voice while scanning the area quickly. You may be correct but you shouldn’t accuse people like that. It’s more complicated than you think.” My legs trembled. He was going to tell her. He was about to expose me! “Complicated?” Lillian scoffed. “My son’s been living with a stranger! My grandson addresses a woman as ‘Mommy’ whom he just met and who remains unaware of his bedtime schedule. I couldn’t li
