Toby Williams Labyrinth Novels & Stories

Amia hot in his tail as he slams shut the front door. "You'll pay for this Noah, I swear!", Amia yells from the porch where she is left a teary mess in her Nike sweatpants and oversized sweater. "I'll make sure to hurt in ways beyond his imagination.", Amia mumbles to herself as Noah's Range Rover disappears into the abyss known as the New York roads. •●• A couple of hours later into the day I received a message from Bella. Hi hun. My friend Lilly has invited me to her first art exhibition at a gallery in downtown New York. Would you care to join me? It would be lovely to have you as company, since I'm almost one hundred percent sure that Lil would be too busy to keep me company.

Theodore said with excitement. Joseph looked at the view in front of his eyes. A big lake with water as clear as crystal and setting sun at the end of the lake was there. The lake was surrounded by dandelion fields. Joseph could see the reflection of the setting sun, the sky, and the dandelions on the lake. The view in front of him hit Thiago straight to his heart.

The attraction is stronger the closer we go. Damon's hand drew closer to mine. After that, we'll continue. whatever it takes. However, I couldn't get rid of the sensation that someone or something was pursuing us as we strolled. The landscape changed once more before we had been very far. In front of us, the shadows stretched and twisted, creating hallways and barriers. Kael mumbled, staring at the new barrier, "A labyrinth." "Obviously." "It's not just any labyrinth," Liora remarked in a shaky voice. It is composed of delusions. I sense the enchantment.

"Tobin! Deploy the secondary asset!" Tobin materializes instantly from the rear compartment of the command transport, his hands efficiently unfolding a lightweight, high-tech carbon wheelchair. He steps directly into my path, bowing his head with absolute, unyielding dominion discipline. "Please, Master Afolayan, deposit your weight into the seat structure. The warlord commands it." My arms cross tightly over my chest, my voice hitting a stubborn, defensive register. "The diagnostic scans indicated simple surface abrasions on my joints, Tobin. My leg bones are completely intact."

Lily was a lifesaver, instantly putting me to work and treating me like an old friend rather than a fragile outsider. By the second hour, I had completely bonded with two specific children. There was Toby, a quiet five-year-old boy with messy brown curls who refused to let go of a picture book about global geography, and Maya, a sweet little girl with bright golden eyes who kept pulling on my dress, begging me to read her another story. "Look, Rosemary!" Toby pointed eagerly at a page showing a massive map of the world. "The mountains are as big as Alpha King's house!" I let out a genuine, free laugh, the sound surprising even my own ears. "They are much bigger than that, Toby. The world is

“And Toby likes dark corners because he thinks it makes him invisible.” A squeak betrays him immediately. Aha. I press my ear against a door and listen. I hear breathing. Two sets. They’ve teamed up this time. Little traitors. I swing open the door dramatically. “FOUND YOU!” Two shrieks burst out as Lila and Toby tumble from behind a tall laundry basket. “Noooo!” they cry in unison. I crouch and grab them both, pulling them into a giggling tackle-hug. “You two are the worst hiders in the world.”

I stopped talking. “The Labyrinth is designed to break the mind. Maybe what’s happening to you could be a disadvantage against it.” I shrugged. “Highly doubt that, Tara.” Silence settled between us again, but I knew Tara’s eyes were on me half the time. And then—from the cracks of the Labyrinth walls—it came. A massive hulking bull… or something that was once a bull. It charged towards us. I’d never seen anything like this before. It was massively huge. Its body had horns coming out from everywhere, and it looked hungry.

“So this game, they said it’s a magical labyrinth, and whoever makes it out first wins. You form a team of two, place your hand on this crystal ball, and it teleports you to a starter spot. Do you want to be on my team?” Ah, I’m well aware of the game Amber is talking about, and honestly, I don’t want to participate in it. I’ve watched too many movies with labyrinths to be excited: Harry Potter, The Cat Returns by Studio Ghibli, Maze Runner, Pan’s Labyrinth, and I believe there even was a creepy Labyrinth in that series Locke & Key. And in all of those mentioned, something bad happened in the labyrinth. But when Amber pouts at me with this incredibly cute face, I realize I don’t have it in m

Tobias said, reaching for the bottle and began pouring another round. I went and sat in Lamia’s chair, leaning back. I pressed play on the video that was on her screen and scrunched my nose as I watched a man turn into one of those Crawler things. I couldn’t help but grumble at how fucked up things were at the minute and sighed deeply when the thought that Lamia was, yet again, in the middle of this new threat. “Somebody please make sense of all this shit for me,” I said to no one in particular and ran a hand through my hair in frustration.

*Toby* Toby and Liam were headed home after a long day of training. The day started out with pack training, followed by training with the Alpha-to-be. Mathias had chosen Liam as his Beta and worked with him every day on pack responsibilities. While Liam was the one chosen for Beta, Toby, the loyal twin, stayed behind to help his brother. He was happy for Liam, but he couldn't help the twinge of jealousy at his brother's success.
