The Village Hidden In The Rain Novels & Stories

It was concealed behind a pile of crates and barrels, an entrance that had been carefully hidden from prying eyes. I couldn't contain my excitement as we examined the door. "This must be it, Lucas! The secret passage!" He nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Let's wait until nightfall. That's when we'll make our move." The hours dragged on as we waited for the cover of darkness to cloak our actions. When the moon was high in the sky and the village was shrouded in silence, we crept into the cellar and pushed open the hidden door. It revealed a narrow, winding tunnel that led downward into the earth.

The part that curls low in my stomach, knotted and confused. We ride through the forest, trees arching above like cathedral spires. Sunlight filters through in golden beams, then we ride out into the plains, where tall grass sways and wildflowers bloom in bursts of red and violet. The bike vibrates beneath us, and I feel every breath he takes. Sharp, measured, heavy. Eventually, we arrive in a village. A dead village. The houses…I would not even call them houses, they are more the size of huts with roofs caved in, windows gaping and ivy and moss claiming every surface. The silence here is heavy as it is thick. My brows furrow. Why was this place abandoned?

Both of his hands were clenched into fists— he violently pushed people off his way. "They have already left! Joy be with us!" A scrawny, squat woman with a haggard-like, square shaped-face, shouted in the middle of the road. A baby maturing four was crying on her lap and yet was not given attention. Thunder rumbled once again, this time inviting rain to wash the dirt away from Droitwich. Instead of running to their houses, the whole village danced and was permitted to be poured by the rapid droplets of rain. Liam snaked through the crowd with just Amethyst's face painting itself in his head.

She wanted it to be a pool under her feet as she slit open Suzette's body from her neck down until all that remained was a dried-up husk of a human being. This is a beautiful morning in Markkhstan Dari town. The sky is blue and bright as can be, with just the slightest bit of gray clouds floating over its face. There are no signs of impending rainfall, but if you look up and squint, it looks as though there might be some. A few minutes after sunrise, the first raindrops start falling onto the village square. Everyone starts moving inside the shops and inn to avoid heavy rain. Everyone has left the market area. The first raindrops are already splashing down upon the ground, turning mud into p

With a flick of my hand, the vines disappeared and was replaced with moss covered roots of the trees that extend up in the sky – our surroundings glowing green in the sunlight as the leaves blocked the light. A bird whistled in the distance , the fluttering of wings startling Rubin making her lean closer to me. I waved my hands once again and make the gentle breeze shake the leaves, showering us with everlasting rain. “Welcome to Lakhowt Island – where the rain never stops.” Rubin held out her hand to catch the rain drops, smiling so wide. Her eyes were lit with that crazy excitement and before I could prepare myself, I was knocked over, her arms around me.

"This is it," Xavion says, spreading his arms out to show the massive house hidden on an unregistered road behind the mountains. It's been a few days since the rogue appeared, and between Xavion and me, we found a middle ground as to when to leave. "Woah," is all I manage to get out upon seeing the small thriving village, unknown to the whole world except for these very people who live in it. "It's nice, isn't it?" Royce suddenly speaks up, making me slightly jump at his appearance.

"My sister and I are both grateful for your help. But we seek a place here....." "We're already here Xavier", Serena interrupted him. "This is the hidden village". "This is it?",Xavier asked in confusion. "But how? I thought the hidden village was an abandoned city". "That's what I was planning to ask King Sozai",she said and then turned to the mer king. "I was told that the hidden village was an abandoned city, with no inhabitants. And there is a cave at the middle of it. There is a weapon we must retrieve from that cave".

Now it was time to find out what she was really hiding. "Yes, Alpha," Warrior Aidan answered my mind-link. "Come to my office.”

Marcus watched me as if I were a bad joke. "Putting on a show." He sneered. "You think just making a call will" His words died on his lips. Because a loud roar suddenly came from outside the window. Everyone turned their heads, looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows. In the sky, a black private helicopter was slowly descending. On the side of the fuselage, a prominent silver 'V' crest was emblazoned. That was the Vanguard family crest. The entire corridor fell into a deathly silence.

Somewhere beyond it, old memories surfaced, as if they had waited for the moment I finally stopped fighting them. I saw myself running home with a certificate clutched in both hands. I had earned first place in my grade. My heart had felt too big for my chest. "Mom, I got…" I shoved the door open, breathless. The words spilled out. Before I could finish, she snatched the certificate from my hands and shoved it into a drawer as if it were contraband. "Rainie," she whispered, panic in her voice. "Don't let your sister see it."
