What Doors Can Villagers Not Open Novels & Stories

The door shuddered but held fast. “Together,” Jalen rasped, bracing beside her. They kicked in unison, but his strength failed him; the impact barely rattled the hinges. He collapsed against the doorframe, chest heaving, eyes dim. Panic curled like smoke in her chest. Wolves would be after them any moment, sliding down the chute, weapons ready. She kicked again. Again. Her toes split, blood seeping into the cold iron. She leaned her forehead against the door, despair threatening to break her. Evandra studied the door for a moment and realized that it couldn't be kicked out, it was made to be opened inward.

"Stop wasting your energy. You'll never get out." Iris glared at him with hatred. Ignoring him, she continued trying to kick the gate open. "This gate is reinforced, and the lock I used is top-notch. The walls are ten feet high. You can't escape. The location of this house is very remote, so even if you scream your lungs out, no one can hear you." The houses in the village were scattered. There were houses at the foot of the mountain, on the mountain top, and halfway up the mountain. Each house was far apart. The one he bought was especially remote.

Chad was compelled to request Marlie to unlock the door, as she had already instructed the servants not to open it without her authorization. Standing before the main entrance, Chad gazed at Marlie's audacious countenance as she staunchly refused to unlock the door, even for him. Chad was truly taken aback. After all, it was his own home, so why was Marlie denying him entry? Had he done something to deserve such punishment? Yes, you did! "Marlie, please open the door," Chad pleaded with a hint of desperation. But Marlie stood firm on the other side, unyielding.

What’s the difference? “I guess I did, and I don’t know. But the villagers don’t know anything, and I wish they would stay out of my business.” Vivienne smiled. “That is one thing the villagers cannot do. They believe everybody’s business is their business.”

“The grand stairs you saw in the main foyer only go up to a certain level. But once it reaches the elder levels, the stairs stop, denying access to anyone who doesn’t have the code for the elevator.” “The elevator is the only way we can get to those floors?” I asked with raised brows. I could already imagine all the issues that could pose. “There’s an emergency staircase behind a door that’s password-protected,” he explained. But villagers aren’t allowed on our level unless granted special permission. They don’t need to be there. Those who live in the Vamp House have their own rooms in their sections.” “So, the elders have their sections of the Vamp house and their own houses?” I asked.

Madam Garcia did not think much about it, so she smiled as she said, “It’s been abandoned for many years. The people in our village originally said that they wanted to help to clean it up, but it would not be good for us to forcibly break the lock on other people’s courtyard to get in.” Sienna nodded and asked casually, “Are there usually many outsiders in the village?” “Not many. Most of the young people in our village have basically gone out, and the rest are just some old people and children. There are usually no outsiders who would come here.”

'All right, rest times over, let's go in' Purity and I both groaned in complaint but stood up anyway. We had better stood up ourselves or we would risked getting dragged by our hair. Selena placed her hand on the door and cracked lighted up white, blue and red. The stone door groaned and opened, revealing a village. 'Welcome to the keep'.

she whispered, “What if it's someone who is going to hurt us?” I chuckled, “Lilith this isn't exactly a place a person can walk in and out of going unnoticed, the only way an unregistered person can get in, is being verified as a visitor by an occupant in the building, and bad guys don't come knocking Lil.” “But what if—” I wasn't going to wait around debating with Lilith if I should open the damn door or not, So before she could continue what she was about to say, I turned the doorknob and swung the door wide open.

She was able to see through his observations of people and wouldn't allow him to think too hard about anything when she was nearby. Jasper also didn't know if there was any kind of locking system. All the doors had no obvious mechanism and could be opened by simply pushing the door open. It was possible that there were sensors in the door, responding to the handprints of those at this facility, impossible to tell really without confirmation of a door being locked and one staff member opening the door which had rejected him.

The pain from the betrayal still burned within his chest, faintly egging him onward. He approached the wall on the far side of the village where a door had been left wide open. In terms of keeping the village safe, this was the stupidest design flaw he had seen and made a note to get it bricked in once he reclaimed his birthright. It was a small wooden door but it could lead to bigger problems.
