One Peace 300 Novels & Stories

Soft classical music fills the air and already I can feel myself unwinding with every step I take towards the sofa. “Right, I’ll be downstairs, Abby,” my mum says softly. “I have your phone so nothing can disturb you. Enjoy!” My mum disappears down the stairs before I can protest, leaving Victoria and me alone. I listen as Victoria explains all about the Neal’s Yard products she uses, appreciating the scents as she holds up the various jars to sniff. I love the fact that all the products are organic and when I try one of the hand creams she is holding it sinks into my skin leaving it feeling silky and soft.

The barrier does not waver, and it never will. I lower my arms slowly. My body trembles. My muscles burn with the ache of a thousand lifetimes compressed into a single heartbeat. Sweat rolls down my spine. My vision blurs. But I stay standing, fueled by the relief that it is done. The war is over now. There will be peace. At last, I exhale. The breath is shaky, but it feels like the purest I’ve ever breathed. The air feels fresher, finally clear of the smoke that’s plagued us for so many years.

Andrew held me down tight while Landon put a hand against my cheek. “Please take it Riley. The pain will go away,” he said softly and put the liquid up to my lips again. I let him tip it into my mouth. The liquid was burning in my throat at first, but then it was warm and smooth. All the pain slowly subsided, and I finally relaxed. Andrew let me go when I finished the last of it and I fell back breathing deeply. The pain was gone, and I sighed in relief. “That should last until tonight. I’m sure the sickness should pass by then. It’s been so long since I’ve dealt with this,” Jack said and left the tent.

Thunder pounds in the sky, and the loud reverberation shakes me to my senses. Pushing myself off him, I side-eye him, wiping my hands on my shorts. He looks away first, pulling himself up out of the mud. I head to my side of the truck and climb in. That was close, way too close. Seconds later he slips in behind the wheel. The radio plays Jake Owen's latest hit "Alone With You."

Theo complimented. I could feel the heat suddenly rising in both of my cheeks. He looked so good too. Just seeing his charming smile made my heart leap. “Thank you,” I replied, trying to sound calm. “You look good either.” “Thanks,” he said with a smile. As we chatted, a tall girl with fair skin and straight blonde hair approached. She wrapped her hands on Theo’s waist. He seemed surprise, but a flicker of affection lit his eyes as he realized who she was

She was going to make it work. Alice put her hand on her still-flat stomach and silently promised her future child something. She said in a whisper, "We'll be okay." "No matter what happens, we'll be okay." Alice stood up, took one last look around the room that had been her home for three years, and then she quietly closed the door behind her.

Perhaps God was showing them He did things the way He wants to. I resumed early. Tanner was just opening. “Hey, kid. You’re pretty early,” he said which surprised me. “ And make more deep coffee today.” “Yeah, yeah whatever boss,” I replied and took the shaker. I added extra caffeine and then shook it violently. That morning's work was fun because I danced as I shake, hearing words like: “A trio.” “A couple.” “A dozen!” And I replied, “Right up.” Or “Coming up.” As usual, girls came over to the counter to look at my face. There was a lady; a blonde who came by 7:30 rushing to the counter. I was backing the counter when she came.

The news flickered on. Specials Break Peace The screen flashed below the anchor woman. Specials break peace I read to myself again. “Turn it up Micheal” I ordered. He rolled his eyes but obliged. “Peace has been held for 15 years and today an extremely dangerous special broke it. We are unaware what caused the incident to spark. Soldiers were deployed to Barker Street. Officials have not yet released the number of killed or injured, but we can tell from footage it is a large number. We are estimating at least 50”

Damien’s pov I've read the will three times before Sera Calloway even answers my text, which tells you something about the state of Okafor's office — either the man has the world's leakiest paralegal, or he wanted this clause to reach the right ears fast. I have a guess which. Edmund Calloway spent thirty years making sure the right information found the right people at the right moment. I doubt death changed his methods much.
