Where The Wild Things Are Novels & Stories

Then I saw it dark plumes rising over the waterfront. Fire. They’d set a fire. The old Stone warehouse loomed ahead ,one of the many properties my family owned and abandoned years ago. I parked a block away and ran toward it, keeping to the shadows. My pulse thundered in my ears. Through a broken window, I saw movement inside. Maya stood in the middle of the empty space, turning slowly as if searching for something. She looked small against the massive concrete walls, lost and confused. But she wasn’t alone.

An ear-splitting sound blasted through the air, inaudible to humans but agony for beastfolk. The three pups hidden beneath my dress yelped in pain. Their eyes flashed crimson, their bodies swelling as if they were balloons. Guests screamed and scrambled to escape. I was rooted to the spot, a cold sweat drenching my back. Trouble. Ethan yanked me behind him, shielding me with his body. He shot Wendy a look. Her remote fizzled, sparks flying, and then, boom! It blew up in her hand. She shrieked, her hand scorched black.

Verra was calm but firm. The faces of all the elder's faces changed with the mention of the wilderness. They knew their chance of thriving or even surviving in that place was slim. The wilderness was a place without rules. The one with the bigger fist wins was truer there than anywhere else on the continent. They knew that while their first were big here, in that place it wouldn't even be considered a medium.

I have a hard time shaking this strange feeling that something is coming. After another large breakfast, I walked the boys to their car. It was time for them to leave. I gave them each a hug. "Hey we will come back to visit," Thomas says. "Maybe you could come visit us too, usualy only wolves are allowed but they iight ake an exception for the witch who saved Beta Devin's little bro," Sean adds. "I will definitely try," I smile at them. I know I will likely never go there ever. I gave Hannah's hand a squeeze as she gets into the car. They wave as they drive away. Well that is that, adventure over. I turn and walk to work. Thomas' POV

She looked out the window and stared at the path that her mom usually walks as she returns from the village. The young child saw that there was something moving along the bushes, it is when the pup who is still weak got a hair raising growl. The child knew it before, no one ever set foot in the Woodsrow mountain, as per her mother’s words, this place is enchanted by fairies and none would find it unless they are something rare.

Water freezing to ice and back to water. Snow perpetually falling from the sky. Ice cracking in two. And then I understood. The water does not cease. The cold does not relent. The fur of snow. The temperature of the dead. It was a riddle. And the answer wasn't a person but a place. A place where water did not cease, where the cold did not relent, where wolves who had fur as white as snow had once been rumored to live and bodies as cold as though they were dead. North.

The little girl whose ivory-fair complexion made her look like a doll opened her eyes which sparkled with rainbow shimmers. It really was Jiu You. She yanked her halberd from the ground and trotted barefooted off the boulder and leaped directly onto the elephant's back. The white elephant turned around and with Jiu You on its back, it came to a flat plain just outside Mount Ravencrow. It really was a zoo. Tigers more than three to four meters long, golden-maned lions with coats of copper-brown fur, giant apes the size of a hill, and several Tibetan Mastiffs that make the lions look like stunted cats loomed conspicuously amongst the wild horde of beasts.

what was happening to me. He then called me over to a couch and we sat there, it was a minute of silence until he decided to break it by saying, “so you white furred huh?” All I said was and yes, and he said, “you know white fur werewolves are very rare, even rarer than the golden furred ones” okay that was something I didn’t know. There was silence again until Preston said, “can I take you somewhere?” I nodded and he brought me out of the warehouse, only to lead me to this beautiful lake and by the it was dawn and there were this beautiful flock of swans and flamingos and couple of ducks, it was an incredible view.

Once I am in there, I see some clothes on the bed which I am guessing are for me so put them on, but I want to go for a run I mean I know I should not, but I just cannot help myself. I slowly make my way towards the door and walk out seeing if there is anyone around, which there is not I go back the way Seth brought me and find my way to the front door. Once I am outside, I go towards the woods and quickly turn into my horse, Blue. I take off in a full-blown gallop and can feel the wind in my mane and tail, I love every minute of it. I was out for around 20 minutes before I heard it, a twig snapping somewhere in the distance, with no idea what it is I turn to go back to the house, but that i

But Mom nodded slowly, clearly knowing what I was thinking. "I have no other choice. And neither do you." She looked away before pinning me with her gaze. "The full force of the storm will hit here, in Wilding Springs. Everywhere else should be safe. For a while." "But not for long." I knew the stories about the Wild, the natural disaster designed to destroy the world when it was time to end, a magical cleansing so nature and the Sidhe could start again. Nothing would remain, no sign of civilization or that we had ever been on earth. There would be nowhere to run or hide, not for me, not for Meira and Sassy.
