We Go Up Novels & Stories

His expression looks sad and concerning. I clench my jaw and look away quickly, blinking nervously. I looked up at the tiny screen that showed what floor we were on and saw it’s B3. “Why are we going to the basement?” I ask. “We’re taking my car today,” Adrian says.

" Max spoke impatiently. Callum looked up and we followed his eyes. High up in the ceiling, moonlight slipped from an opening. I looked down at Callum and then back up before I turned to Max. "That's too high," I shook my head. "I can't climb that high, no possible way for us to reach there," Max rejected too. "But that's the only way for us out of here. If you don’t want to lose your mate, Max, you would be the first to climb up," he suggested.

That way I could confirm my suspicions. "She's not here" the little blonde girl responded. "Yeah, she's up" the other boy chorused, with his index finger pointing up. Up? "What do you mean?" I said, looking up at the ceiling. It was only after staring at the ceiling, I realized that they meant upstairs. "Ohhh" I slapped my palm against my forehead. They must think I'm dumb. "Well you guys can't just wander around here. It's too crowded" I said, "Come on, let's get you back up to your mom" I suggested.

The urgency in my voice betrayed my own nerves, but I pushed them down. We reluctantly rise from the floor, eyes fixed on the display showing our next location - The Crypts of Bone. The buzzing intensifies, electrifying our limbs as a reminder of the consequences should we refuse. We exchange grim glances, square our shoulders, and march forward into the humid air. Our footsteps sink into the muck as foul smells assault our noses.

Before he could finish his sentence, we floated to the top of the stairs. “Cover your eyes!” I shout as I let my glow burn as bright as a comet, my energy focused on the glass ceiling above us. And then we’re free, the moon rising behind us, floating above everything. “There he is,” I point, my mate glowing like a beacon calling me forth. “Let’s go.”

"You’re be famous." "It doesn't looked like a lot! There really are a lot, very much, look around." Lexis said. I blinked at what I saw. The leeches are just whispering and looking at their cellphones. They already know this. "Guys, let's go upstairs." I whispered to them. They agreed. "Hey, why so long, the height of this school?! It's slow!" Fetty complained. Our room is on the 10th floor. He still complained, we took the elevator.

Once we reached our condominium building and rode the elevator, I was confused when instead of pressing the seventh floor, they pressed the uppermost floor. "That's not our floor," I said. "We know," the three of them replied at the same time. My brows furrowed, "Why are we heading to the uppermost floor then?" Keziah pressed her index finger on my lips, "Ssh. Just wait and see." What are these three up to? I'm really hungry! I shouldn't have gone with Marrah and Keziah earlier. There's still a next time anyway. I just wanted to eat and lie down!

"You've got to be kidding me." "Terribly sorry, ma'am. sir," the tall one said quickly, bowing slightly like that would fix anything. "Unfortunately, the hotel is fully booked tonight. We can only resolve this by morning." My stomach dropped. Fully booked? meaning.. The jerk let out a low chuckle that infuriated me. "Well, sweetheart, looks like we're roommates." "Over my dead body," I snapped. The nerve. still....why did that stupid chuckle sound so good?

We nod as we dry our hands and pass by him. I hugged him. " We're headed upstairs for a little while. See you in a bit," I say before we take off up the stairs to talk more about what's been going on and how we're going to sneak out tonight.

"Not only in forest... Anywhere!..." She nodded sulking. "Okay..." He smirked. "Good..." Serenity smirked internally. 'Rules are made to break my dear mate...' She wasn't going to obey him, it was just to make him agree. Triplets took off their coats and rolled up their sleeves and the crowd started cheering again after getting back from the shock. "What do we do now... They are too good in sports..." Kaya frowned. Robert scoffed. "I am the father... Bastards can't do shit..."
