The Town A Novel Novels & Stories

The only light comes from the temple up on the hill. “I’m wishing I would have just stayed home at this point. Nothing about this journey has been what I expected. And from your reactions, it’s not normal either,” Finn mutters as we take slow, calculated steps through the town, peeking in windows that show they have abandoned this town some time ago. “The last one was weird. No men that anyone remembers? Now, this? This town, since it houses a temple, should above any others be thriving and teeming with life.”

A Town That Forgot John stared at the familiar streets of Black Hollow, but something was off. No boarded windows, no scent of blood in the wind, no signs of the uprising that had gutted the town only days ago. Children played in the square. Vendors laughed behind fruit stalls. And no one looked twice at him or Sarah. Sarah stepped beside him, brows furrowed. “This isn’t right.” “It’s like we were erased,” John muttered. A man passed them, tipping his hat. “Beautiful day, ain’t it?”

When it was over, people stood and spoke in turn — about a roof when the rain would not stop, about a place to sleep when rent seized their wages, about the inn as a place where dignity didn’t cost admission. The town’s answer was not legal prose; it was a chorus: We will guard it. It’s ours. We will not let it be bought. That night, after the crowd thinned and the lanterns guttered low, Marcus and I lit a small candle and walked into the nursery. The house smelled like lemon oil and something sweet and home-built. He took my face in both hands and looked at me like a man who had been given both a legacy and a future. “You did this,” he said simply. “You let the town in.”

I hope he knew he was not getting a kiss out of this. "Okay! Let's go then." I looked at him and smiled back. I did not like his facial expression, but I was excited to see this market town. It took another 28 minutes before we arrived at the town. It was different from Blood village. There were lights everywhere. The people bussing around. It was loud too. The town sign said Hustle Town Population 8,727. I looked at the buildings as we passed them in the car. There were apartments like in Blood village, but all of these were nice. The main street had a clothes store, a diner, a warehouse building that looked like it had different stores inside, gambling centers, and a servant stand. The ser

* * * Eve’s POV * * * * * Six Months Later * * The New Moon pack has grown tremendously. It’s become its own town in the countryside. Amid the chattering trees, amid the cheer of laughing meadows, lives the country town. The country town is a hug of houses amid green pastures. In this expanse of green, there are more hues than anyone has ever named, yet here they are for any eye to see. The land rolls as it always has, as if it feels that time and space are one thing, that it moves through the ages as much as to the horizon. Over it is laid a path that branches through the open landscape, and as I begin to walk, there is a frisson of joy for all the choices to come, each one laden with disco

Why didn't you even say a word to me that you are struggling, Nora ? I wanted your mind and soul …but never could I place my hands on even one... Please be safe I am coming for you, Noah thought in his mind looking out of the car window... It was evening by the time they reached the place. It was an abandoned town …the fog is covering it As they stepped out of the car. There was a grave. As they stepped side, it was another grave. The fog vanished as Noah's bird Haul flapped its wings hard. There are many graves in front of them. The town is just a graveyard...

grabbed a handful of clothes and some toys and went to the back of the mansion where a storage shed awaited him. It was filled with junk. There were cockroaches and rats scurrying around under the single flickering light. There was no fan, no window, not even a bathroom. "Good, you're here," a voice came from behind, startling him. He turned around and saw his favorite aunt standing there with a broom. She was the wife of the man that had just thrown him out of his room. His face still itching from the slap. "First aunty! Uncle, he sai-" "Clean this place up. I'll come back to check in an hour," the woman cut in, "I better not see any dust then. And don't break anything, you can't affo

The town however was struggling to make ends meet at year time, because of the money hungry mayor who keeps selling lands and parts of the town to investors for their rich friends to have their vacation homes, beach house and all of that crap. Reign and the mayor are at it 24/7 due to the fact that he fails in trying to buy her land. The town was not small, nor was it big. The town was well developed with everything to make them comfortable from their own water park, mall and all they needed. They never once had to depend on other neighbouring towns or the main town for anything until their newly elected mayor. ~***~ "Why mommy?" Isabella pouted, throwing her foot over Reign's lower body.

Grimhold was rumored to rule with an iron fist, much sterner than any other Alpha, but his people loved him, and it showed. The town itself was between two mountain ridges with snow covered peaks in the distance. The houses were quaint but sturdy, and the rooftops were covered in pure white snow. The town felt so different from Crownshaven with it’s towering buildings and constant buzz of energy. It was quiet, even the wolves that lived here seemed peaceful and I wondered if they would be able to stand against Varen and his undead army. I finally got to the manor and handed the keys over to the valet standing outside in the cold with nothing but a blazer, and a smile.

They are a group that love to fight, drinking, eat, sing, but above else to fight. *officier in charge of the frontier troops * commander of a rural district II The north was always isolated place compared to the rest of the region. War never did appear in these parts, nor will he, but something far worse. It was always so, since the beginning of time. While the war in the east declined, a minor town, in the mountains to the far north, had problems of the different sort, problems that couldn’t be easily solved by any means known to man. This problem spread like wildfire in every part of the town. Some say it was carried by rats, bats or any small animal. One thing was sure nobody was safe, f
