10 Brave Novels & Stories

I said, watching his face as he processed this information. "I wanna be brave like a penguin," Tom announced. "Mommy says I'm already brave because I tried broccoli." I couldn't help but smile. "Your mom is right. Trying new things is very brave." Bella made a small sound from where she stood against the wall, and when I glanced at her, I saw tears in her eyes. She quickly looked away, wiping at her face. "Can we do the puzzle?" Tom asked, already pulling it out of the box. "I'm really good at puzzles."

Maybe it was the brave version of myself that I created when I was just a vulnerable child who curled and hides from her uncle; telling me that as long as the brave Maddy is still in me, I know I can do this. When I had to travel with my shaking hands on Vanessa's feet, I sobbed even more heavily. This is the only thing I can do when I feel all of my rage and terror erupting inside of me. Because the brave Maddy still cries, but she never gives up. “Fuck!”

Plus I had regained my self. It felt like all these things Charles said to me were surreal. That he experienced such and still managed to come out with Ruby, alive. “You're so brave, Charles. So fucking brave.” I said, staring deep into his eyes. Because it was true. I had never seen a man as brave as him. He was just a good man. Cared for the ones who had wronged and hurt him in the past. Just like Ruby's mother. Yet, he still went out of his way to save her. Unarmed. When he could've been killed. He nearly lost his life.

Even though my hand hurt a lot, I still tried not to show it to anyone. Butler Lucas told me to bring the food upstairs to check if Daniel was awake. I carry the tray of food that my arm runs because of the pain. When I stood in front of Daniel's room, I was a little nervous. It's not I'm thinking about what happened at noon. But I'm afraid I don't know how to face him. I don't know what words to use to make Daniel not angry with me anymore.

I felt… weak,” I admitted quietly. “That is a weakness of the body, not of the mind,” said Li Wei, and his voice almost sounded kind. “You were determined, Young Luna. You went in with your head held high, and you got back up when you were knocked down. That, to me, is the sign of true courage; of true determination, grit, and bravery.”

"I know." She was quiet for a moment, her eyes searching mine. Then she smiled, her face bright with love. "You're braver than I ever was. Braver than I ever thought you could be." "I'm not brave." My voice cracked. "I'm just tired of running." She laughed, a soft, warm sound that filled the chamber. "That's what bravery is, Ymir. Doing what needs to be done even when you're terrified. Even when every part of you wants to run away and hide. That's what makes you extraordinary."

I have never had true friends, friends that unconditionally love you are hard to come by. "I am many things Zee, but brave is not one of them. "I stopped before we took a step outside from Isaiah's room, the threshold from his room to the corridor was something that I needed to take a deep breath before crossing over. I took one step over and then my other leg followed. Zee's arm still snaked around mine.

Martha shoots me a weird look: “No? Why do you think I give the offender opportunity to show his navel? I practice Taekwondo, girl!” I breathe in an air of relief, “Good for you.” And thank God it’s not Kent. Despite being cocky, he is, after all, telling the truth.

If there was silence before, now it was so sharp that it felt it was slicing the air. “I do not want anyone of you to become a target of the wrath that I feel is coming our way. And in the coming days, I am going to set up some security measures to ensure the safety of my people, you all. I want you all to cooperate with me. I do not want any daredevils in my kingdom, I only want brave men, women, and children who are ready to do what is asked of them. Know that bravery is not just picking up the weapon and running to fight, sometimes bravery is also dropping your weapon and stepping back when you are asked to do so. In both scenarios, I feel the latter situation is more dire and braver beca

"But I do mean it. If only we had met a bit earlier maybe- How were you when you were little though? I've seen your pictures so I know you were always this beautiful. But were you also always this brave?" "Brave?" I turned my face. "Do you think I am brave?" "Of course, you are," he nodded. "You're brave and really sharp." "Says the one whose name's literally Blade." "Oh, c'mon Evanora," he burst into laughter. "That doesn't mean anything. It's just my name. But look at you, you're really brave. Ever since I met you.
