Why Are We Here Na Novels & Stories

Red thinks they went to Valhalla. Naomi goes quiet. Then, softly: I’m sorry, Nate. I know this is hard. On all of you. But we’re at the gates of Valhalla. Come here. We’ll make a plan. Maybe we can find a way to reach those in Tartarus. No! I’m not leaving without Nyx! Nathan snaps. And I know that look on his face. Years of training him taught me what it means: he’s made up his mind, and nothing will change it.

“You don’t get it. I can’t be here anymore. I’m losing myself. I'm losing my mind...I...I want to feel normal again, I want to go.” Logan looked torn. “I can’t let you leave. Not yet. You have a purpose here, Naomi. Things you need to finish. You are brought here for a reason and have to fulfill your purpose—" “I don’t care,” I said through clenched teeth. “I don’t care about prophecies or legacies or whatever this is. I’m done.” “You’re not done,” he said. “You’re just tired. Let me help you.” “I don’t want your help,” I whispered.

I announced, standing at the centre of the tent. “This is war,” I began, my eyes narrowing and scanning them. “This is why we're here. Our only goal is to win this war and bring peace back to the world. The humans might pretend to be friendly with us, but do not take it to heart, they only need us for this war, and that's it, nothing else. I paused, staring at all their faces. “Our only aim is protect the Athenian pack and the citizens of the world.” I continued. “If you die in battle, you'll be remembered for your greatness. Understood?”

Numerous mics stood on the podium, and a large crowd of people watched Anaya both from here and other safe houses. Anaya pushed out a soft breath, then spoke. “People of Mystic Meadow, Willow Crest, Westerville, and the rest of the world. Today is a grim day for everyone of us—a day of war, a day of sadness and anger. Today, we've lost many at the hands of these monsters that now ravage our homes and streets. But I beg you to remain calm, as our soldiers are working as hard as they can to ensure that this all ends soon. This facility and other facilities like this around the world were built to accommodate every single soul on the planet, but unfortunately, many of our brothers and sisters w

Leon asks, kneeling and bandaging up my bloody knees. Nia is still stubborn as ever, refusing to heal minuscule injuries, but I've grown to love that about her. "I didn't. I only knew that this place was important for so many reasons. I know there's more we need to do here; I'm just not sure what. But I can feel my people. They're everywhere and nowhere. Somehow, when this is all over, we have to reunite them and bring them back here to their home," I explain.

It’s unity. Lumina steps beside her. Quietly. “I’ve never seen this place,” she says. “You weren’t meant to,” Nana replies. “Why here?” Nana glances around. “Because it’s protected. It’s old. Before the war. Before even the purge on NorthHill. Pain and anguish brought me here once. And when I found Lowell tied in chains years ago, I understood what this place really was.” Lumina turns to her slowly. “A prison?”

But one we are. We ride for our souls, we ride for our right, but mostly tonight we ride for our freedom. And we don't fucking stop! We never slow, this is what we are, this is who we have become chaining ourselves to each other and we do it as one. People always ask us why do we call ourselves The Satan Snipers. Today as we unite as one, we conquer, because when we are together it is our enemies we will taint. It is our enemies who will perish.

“And don’t try to run. It’s futile. There’s nothing but forest for miles on end here. Plus, there are at least a few hundred predators out there that would love to feast on you.” I got off the car without hesitation even though the entire place made me want to run as far from it as possible. There wasn’t really much of a choice in front of me. I had to comply if I hoped to have a chance of getting out of here alive. “Why are we here?” I asked, looking around at the deserted place. “Won’t you like to meet the Ancient, dear granddaughter? I know he’s very anxious to meet you.”

“We are in the place of mortals.” “You mean humans… people… Oh my god! We shouldn’t be here.” “Could you please stop talking?” “But why are we here? We shouldn’t be here… We are not allowed to go outside of Atenowa.” “Yes, I know.” “Then? Why are we here? “I said stop talking. I will tell you everything soon. Okay?” “Oh, my god! Orenda will be mad at me if she knows that I left Atenowa.” “Wait, you said Orenda? Do you know her?”

“Sit. Down.” I had no idea when I got on my feet but I wasn’t done yet. “Why should I? Tell me why I’m here! To be your sex slave, fine! Let me know! To be your baby maker! No problem! If I’m here just so you have a Luna tied to your name then that’s fine too! But just fucking tell me why I’m fucking here!”
