Broken Sky Series Novels & Stories

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean..." "Why? You're asking me why?" Zeenah cut her off harshly too, as she cuddled the baby more to her bosom. "It's because I'm tainted; a piece of used baggage that has no value left. It's because I'm broken beyond repair and I don't think I deserve to be happy, ever..." "Enough! Please!" Samira winced at the pain in her stomach, but she quickly masked it off. "Why do you keep wishing for the worst thing ever?"

Only one messaged from him and all my worries would be gone. “I hope he won’t get mad.” I whispered while staring the table out from the garden. Until now I couldn’t believe that our house was still the same. I thought Demir would let Laura lived here and changed everything. As I was about to stand the frame suddenly fell on the ground. My heart skipped in surprise to hear the loud bang and the broken pieces of glasses scattered on the ground. I was about to pick one of the broken glasses but it pinned on my fingers and so as my phone suddenly vibrated.

“I’m not leaving you.” The choice was taken from him a second later. Jared’s other claw wrapped around his shoulder, and they stumbled into a grassy field, speckled with wilting flowers. Overhead, the sunlight fizzled like static. It blinked out of existence, only to be replaced a second later by two suns in its place. They wavered, as unreal as a mirage, and then the sky went black. Starless and moonless, the night sky was a dreary, empty thing, desolate and teeming with despair. Lily’s throat worked on a swallow, but her mouth was dry and it got stuck halfway.

She replied. “Claire, Mike and I didn’t break up. Our relationship wasn’t over when we had sex. It was over after we had sex.” I replied. “It was over when you slept with that doctor in Seattle. What was his name?” Claire blurted and we both started laughing. “You are unbelievable.” Blair started laughing. “We are going to get along great.” Blair stated while hugging Claire. “I wish I could drink with you guys and get wasted.” “I can’t believe you always get to meet people who are just like you.” Cassie stated. “You people enjoy talking about things that make other people uncomfortable.” She complained.

He spun the laptop around and hit play, and I saw Tyson on the screen with Asher getting out of an SUV. I had no clue where they were, but they seemed to be walking towards a man and as they got close to an older SUV it blew up. The next thing I knew was that he was flying through the air. The camera was attached to him somewhere, and I watched as if I were him. I heard an awful noise when he hit the ground, and his body went rolling and then the screen went black.

“See? The gap is just behind that big bush.” “We’re going to make it,” Sera says. She sounds like she’s starting to believe it. “We’re really going to make it, Maren.” “I told you. I’m taking care of you today.” I reach out and grab the wire of the fence. I pull it back, making a hole big enough for her to crawl through. “You go first,” I say. “I’ll be right behind you.” Sera nods. She puts her hands on the dirt and starts to crawl. I look around one last time. The compound is a nightmare. Our whole lives are burning. Everything my father built is turning into ash. I don't feel sad. I just feel like I’m finally breathing.

The pressure increased, forcing a cry from my throat as the magic fought to hold together. ‘Again,’ Mia urged. I pushed harder. Every ounce of strength and every bit of will poured into my hand as I willed it to work. It just had to. No more failures could be afforded. The crack widened and light spilled through. Real light. My breath caught as I stared at the rays of light. Freedom… “So close…” The barrier trembled one final time and then shattered. The force knocked me back a step, but I caught myself instantly, turning to the other side of the prison where the girls huddled together. They stared at me through the broken barrier, their eyes wide, full of confusion.

A broken world and a burning sky. An open Gate and me standing above it all smiling.

Skye crashes to the floor. Her entire world has just fallen apart. I pick her up as she screams at the top of her lungs, all she wants is to rush in the room. She is kicking at my legs as she is trying to get away from me. I cannot let go, it is breaking my heart. I am losing the woman I love right in front of me. How is she going to survive this, how is Mason going to survive this. I don’t know how any of us are going to survive this.

**Flashback starts** Last year of high school, on our date to park at night, we both are kidnapped by an unknown person to me but the person surely knows Zion. He surely knows that Zion is rich and has lots of money and his parents aren't with him. "Nan!" he calls me with his voice being clogged in the piece of cloth on his face. My heart jumps with joy as I hear his voice in that dark world where I can see nothing but space and hear nothing but only a vacuum. I cry in fear and anxiety but I know his clogged voice is comforting me and telling me that I should stay strong. He is going to take me out of here in any situation.
