Bling From Let It Shine Novels & Stories

Lily stared at it, and I could see the fear in her eyes, fear that matched my own. Elena, sensing the hesitation, turned toward Lily and whispered, "It's okay, Lily. I'm scared, too, but this is for Winter." Lily hesitated, but then she took a deep breath, her hand trembling as she reached toward Winter. The moment her hand touched Winter's, it began to glow with an ethereal blue light, even brighter than the green that Elena's hand emitted. The two lights mingled, growing brighter, and before I knew it, the light became blinding—so bright that I could no longer look directly at it.

The shimmery material is shimmering when the sunlight hits its surface. Her full lacy sleeves are studded with diamonds. Her hair is twisted into a fancy braid and adorned with expensive diamond-studded hair accessories, and Linda arranged it in the form of a makeshift crown. Bella is looking absolutely breathtaking. "My queen is looking gorgeous" Blaze whispered nuzzling her neck. Bella blushed at his compliment. She wrapped her arms around his neck and stood on her tiptoes and grazed her lips with his. "You don't look bad yourself. Always handsome" she whispered and pecked his lips.

Pixie growls and she sends me to the dark corners of her mind. Varla scampers to her feet, quite shocked. Standing in the same spot, a circle of light forms under my feet and my skin begins to glow with sparkling dust. My shimmering silver blonde hair loosened from the elastic that bound the ponytail and cascaded in the air. Varla becomes confused and the crowd gasps and murmurs in awe.

“Eden, where are you? Come out now. They want to make June drink.” Eden immediately became flustered, and he was only able to manage one sentence. “Katie, don’t misunderstand me. I’ll explain to you later when I’m back.” I weakly slid down and sat on the floor. I just let the pain wash over me and drag me into the abyss of hopelessness. Even my breath smelled of blood. I cried in silence. After a long while, laughter from the outside jolted me back. “Did you see Eden caring so much about June?”

"Your turn." "I can see better than I admit. The transplant worked completely. No shadows. No blur. But I pretend. At home. In public. Because seeing makes people expect things. Independence. Honesty." She laughed. Small. "Blindness is freedom. People tell you everything when they think you can't look back." "Why tell me now?" "Because you're looking." She met my eyes. "And I want you to see me." The door buzzed. We both froze.

Olandria. The art room, the fruit bowl, the way she said thank you like it cost her something, the way she looked at me like she was trying not to. And then, Lydia’s lips brushing my cheek flashed ruining the moment. I sat up immediately. “Yeah. No.” I swung my legs off the bed, elbows resting on my knees as I leaned forward, staring at the floor. That… was going to look bad. It already looked bad. The worst part, I didn’t even have a defense that didn’t sound like an excuse.

One wrong move, and the only person who had ever truly loved her would be gone. "The ceremony is starting. Smile, Kendra," Elaine sneered, before turning on her heel and sweeping out of the room. Left alone, Avery let out a long, shaky breath, staring at her shrouded reflection. Just get through the ceremony, she told herself, trying to steady her racing pulse. He’s blind. He won’t be able to see the difference between my face and Kendra's. We just must survive in the same house. I can do this. Ten minutes later, the heavy oak doors of the grand cathedral swung open.

Her mother was trying to appear strong before her, but she is definitely not fine. "You lied too Laura" Brenda replied, letting her tears found their way down her cheeks. She was shivering and her nose was sore. The both of them turn their faces away. They were sobbing and Brenda said " why are you sobbing Laura? I will be fine" she said amidst tears. "I am...not sobb..ing"Laura says her voice breaking at every interval of sniffling. She tried cleaning her tears and it would come afresh. Brenda couldn't even say anything again. Her voice was gone. She turned and looked at Laura again with a puffy face.

Blake's POV The room brightened up and I heard Jade's voice, making me pull away from whatever her name is, "Blake?" she uttered my name, I looked towards the light switch to find her standing there, one hand on the switch and the other holding her bathrobe in place, shock overwriting her features as she stared at us, her hands fell to her sides and the robe slipped open, exposing her fair legs and the night shirt she had on wasn't buttoned completely, showing off her cleavage and a few bits of her stomach. This was all her fault to begin with, walking around the house in such flimsy clothes and I can't even touch her, she's the reason why I have to resort to this.

Elara stood at the window of her apartment, gazing out at the city skyline as the sun began its slow descent, painting the sky in shades of pink and orange. It was a scene she had come to cherish—the vibrant colors blending together as day turned to night, a reminder of the beauty in transitions. Just as the sky shifted from one state to another, so too had her life undergone a transformation.
