Zora Greenleaf Novels & Stories

Zora smiled confidently and continued, "Since it’s a celebration, let’s do something that’ll entertain everyone. How about a piano performance?" Zora had been trained in piano since she was young, and she had reached a master level. It would be hard for anyone to surpass her in this field. Caitlin didn’t speak, but Zora thought she had already scared her. So, she addressed Zeke, "Zeke, if Caitlin has no objections, can you prepare a piano for us?" Zeke, knowing Caitlin also played piano, glanced at her for confirmation. "Caitlin, is that alright?"

NATALIE "I'm Zora, Isra's sister," she said, sticking her hand out. I put my hand on my forehead as I stepped back from her. "Hold on, let me help you," she continued, coming closer. I was weak so I just let her do whatever the hell she was doing. "I don't trust you," I muttered. Zora smiled as she placed her hand on my forehead and closed her eyes. She began chanting some strange words and slowly, I felt the dizziness leaving me.

Lena stumbled backward as the Heartwood’s golden light flickered and dimmed. The sheer power radiating from Zara’s tendrils wrapped around the ancient tree sent tremors through the ground, shaking Lena’s resolve. The air grew dense, filled with the oppressive weight of Zara’s dark energy. “Did you think you could defeat me using the Heartwood?” Zara’s voice was laced with triumph as she stepped into the clearing.

The light that sank on his face always tricked me into believing they were a sort of hazel. They were not. Weirdly, under the light of the room, and the shadows that captured his sturdy face, they appeared to be green. The green that reminds one of the fresh wands of grass and the force of nature in the wild.

Natalie didn't want to get too entangled with him, so after thinking about it, she typed, "I have a friend who knows the market in Grendale well. I'll give him your number, and you can tell him what you need." Silence followed, and her text never received a reply. It was only after a while, when she was half-asleep, that her phone lit up again. "It's fine. Don't bother," Aaron replied. She stared at the four words and could almost hear the clipped tone in her head. He was probably upset now. But she was determined to keep her distance from him, especially when his silhouette reminded her too much of Jason, and knew better than to get close. … The next day, Natalie received a call from Zora.

TARA Zora was finally asleep, so Aidan and I could leave her room and go over to his. “Do I want to know how you’re so good with stuff like that?” Aidan asked, referring to Zora. “It was like you were a professional doctor with the way you handled her panicking and her wounds.” “I’ve had a lot of practice,” I replied. “With Nadia. She’s very energetic for someone with skin as soft as hers.” My smile was automatic, and it reached my eyes.
