Bling From Let It Shine Novels & Stories

Clang! The railing shook violently. It was bending and on the verge of breaking. Just as disaster loomed, my engine finally roared to life. I slammed the gas pedal, and the car dashed forward, breaking free from the crushing pressure. Upon seeing this, Gabriel’s face twisted with panic. He stomped the brake repeatedly before finally managing to stop his car. However, as his wheels screeched to a halt, he ran over a shard of broken glass that flew up and embedded itself deep in my thigh. I gritted my teeth as pain shot through me.

“I got pretty emotional over it.” “It’s okay.” Lincoln cocked his head to the side, staring at him dazedly. “What is it?” Shun asked, feeling uncomfortable. “I must say, you really look good when you cry, Sheen.” Shun felt his cheeks flushed out of embarrassment. “I’m not crying!” Lincoln just laughed. “And I’m sorry, you couldn’t get the credit when we finished the dress.” Lincoln waved a hand in dismissal. “That’s okay, really. It’s better you than anyone.”

The glade exploded with light. Not a single flare, not a blinding blast, but a living radiance that unfurled in waves—silver, viridian, and pelagic blue—braiding into a pulsing corona that rose and fell as if it had lungs of its own. The tripartite luminescence synchronized, each swell of brightness echoing a shared heartbeat that was no longer just Selene’s, nor Ronan’s, nor Mirra’s, but a single rhythm born of all three.

He stepped past me and dropped to his knees beside Sheila, placing his hand over her throat. Directly on the bite. Caleb jolted forward. “Blaze, what the hell are you—” “DON’T TOUCH ME,” Blaze snapped. Caleb froze. Blaze inhaled deeply through his nose. “Blaze?” I whispered. He didn’t answer, just closed his eyes and fell into a trance. Sheila convulsed harder and her jaw tightened harder. And right before our eyes, a light appeared. Faint at first but then growing brighter as a silver glow pulsing beneath Blaze’s palm..

“I WON’T LET YOU—I DON’T CARE—I—” Another pulse of light exploded from me, larger this time, spiraling into the sky like a pillar of molten gold. Trees cracked, the ground buckled, and I could see Snow and Phineas bracing themselves against the edges of the shockwave, shouting, warning—but their words didn’t reach me.

Bright light shines on my face and his, showcasing his full grin while I remain shell-shocked by the plain audacity of him. Has he no shame? Right in public! "Right here, miss!" "To your left, miss!" "Please smile for us, Miss Wellington!" Miss Wellington!?! I whip my head forward at the voice, and the flashes increase. Geez! This is bad. Red spots bleed into my sight. I think I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I blink, and realize that's an even worse decision. My eyes strain to see what's in front of me. I can't see through the flashes, nor hear through the screaming of "here, please!"

Her voice shot through the air, breaking the eerie silence that had Blaze's heart racing alarmingly. Right when their eyes met, Lilith flashed him her sweetest smile. Blaze melted on the spot. Holding the flowers towards him, she whispered, "Happy birthday." Blaze's heart leaped up in joy as he felt a surge of happiness warm up his stomach. Bash could barely conceal his delight. A low-pitched moan sounded from him as he tried to gain control but Blaze stayed firm, refusing to let him come forth. 'It's my birthday too.' Bash whined.

“A chance to be seen for who I am, not as your shadow.” Tears stream down my face. “And you thought this was the way to get it?” I choke out. “When you live too long in someone else’s light,” she says bitterly, “you forget how to shine on your own.” I let my power burst again, throwing her backward. Linda crashes to the ground, bleeding from a cut near her eyebrow, a dark bruise spreading across her cheek. “This isn’t shining,” I tell her softly. “Not if you have to steal someone else’s light to do it.”

There was a moment of silence as they looked into each other's eyes. Estella smiled at him warmly as she started to blush. Her face turned red as a tomato as she gazed into his eyes. "I see that same red hot blush coming back into your cheeks again." He was clearly enjoying teasing her and seeing her blush in response. It slapped his chest. "You always do this to me. You are taking advantage of my weakness." He pretended to be hurt and laughed. "You like it too." "Hmp!"

The bright sun made me blink as we stepped out of the building, and I rubbed my eyes, knowing I was going to have a migraine by the time I got home. A shadow fell over me all of a sudden, and I jerked and glanced up to see a beautiful blue umbrella over my head; then I turned my head, my heart skipping a beat as I stared into Belshar's eyes, eyes so bright, it felt like they were shining a light into my soul. "I see you are taking your task very seriously," he said, and I blinked, my mouth opening to speak as my face burned. "What are you talking about? I just came here to get some new clothes for my wardrobe. I will be resuming work soon, so I need new dresses"
