Under The Oak Tree 42 Novels & Stories

She replied, too tired to ask questions. I headed down to the forest to meet Iditan seated beneath a great oak tree on a patch of green verdant grass, her eyes closed and her body relaxed as she leaned against the tree. I stared at the Oak tree which was the size of a small house, surprised to be seeing it for the first time. Ever since I have learnt to morph and fly I have never passed the way through the forest, choosing to fly over it, but still I should have seen a tree this big from above, or so I thought. I strangely felt like other trees were wary of the oak, as they grew very so far apart from it, leaving a hundreds of feet of wide patch of grass around it.

The man said weakly as he held out his hand. As everyone minus Jill reached out their hands to help him a smile creeped up on his face and Jill knowing something bad would happen and couldn’t stop it in time so she grabbed his hand as well and, in a flash, they were gone. The box itself that Jill was worried about had also disappeared and in a sudden flash of lightning the great infamous oak tree of Oaken Hills was struck.

Night had come and now the flakes danced under the lights of the ski-resort. Her leg rested next to his. The chair was too small for them to truly sit apart, and Nathan found his heart beating faster just being near her. This felt intimate, despite the fact that there were other people just on the other side of the room. “Oh look,” Holly said, pointing upward. “Mistletoe.” Nathan’s eyes went up and saw that someone had hung a small sprig of green over the love seat. Given that it was a love seat, he could understand the placement.

I pouted and looked away because his eyes are intimidating. "I just want to stroll, duhh?" I said while rolling my eyes and turned around to look at the place and my jaw almost drop when I saw how beautiful the forest is! I can see the tall trees around. The grass on the ground and the wild flowers bloomimg around the area! It's so beautiful! How come Grandma didn't know that there's a secret passage here? "Go back to your home. The sun is almost setting up," he said and stood up. He is really tall. How old is he? 20? 22? I'm just 10. Am I too young for him?

“It’s not possible,” Mac said quietly, standing at the edge of Hope’s garden, looking at the small oak sapling with its cluster of pale, impossible blossoms. “Oaks don’t flower in October. They barely flower at all in the traditional sense. Something else must be growing through it.”

I climb off her back and thank her for giving me a ride here. “Are you staying?” I ask but she is already on her way back to the castle. That’s strange, why was she in a rush? Turning I see an enormous tree. It looked to be an old weeping cherry tree in full bloom with its pink spring flowers. The moon illuminated the bright colors and magical fireflies flew all about. There looked to be lighting coming from the center where the trunk of the tree should be. I stepped forward and moved a flower branch to the side so I could walk under the tree. I continued until I found the tree trunk. Lanterns were carefully placed all around underneath the weeping canopy. It’s simply breathtaking. I was so

"But we must be quick, or else it'll catch up with us. Come on, I'll show you what I found." "What have you found?" asked Okayo, feeling relieved. "The plant Oboo instructed us to fetch?" "Yes. Certainly. Come and see." He held Okayo's hand like a father to a child and walked him a few paces away into a grove. "See. Here it is," he said pointing at a tree-let on the ground. "This small thing on the ground?" asked Okayo in a demeaning tone. "Yes. This is it," replied Okech. Just then the python reappeared. "Pick it. It's your onus to carry it," instructed Okech.

Robert replied. The high beams cut through the dust on the road. Kat could see the drive was lined with thick trees. “It is going to be impossible to find Jude in here if he wonders off.” She glanced worried at Robert and back at the barbequed covered boy. “Don’t worry babe. There’s a gate around the property itself.” He rubbed her shoulder. “Well this isn’t creepy or anything.” Ray snarked. “Its only creepy because its dark RayRay. Things always look different in the dark. It’s just new, new always feels uncertain, until it’s not new anymore.” Kat smiled back at Ray through the rear view.

--- I told Damon about the tree. He was in the study. Reading something on his computer. He looked up when I walked in. "A tree?" "A tree. For Sam. In the garden." "What kind." "I do not know. Something that will last. Something that will not die." He thought about it. "Oak." "Oak?" "Oaks live for hundreds of years. They grow slow. They get big. They do not die easily." "That sounds like Sam." "How." "He was stubborn. He was loud. He took up space. He did not die easily. He was not supposed to die at all."
