Daniel Chapter 8 Novels & Stories

It had consumed a thousand civilizations before this one, and it knew exactly how to dismantle the light. Then, a small, cold hand suddenly grabbed Ava’s fingers, pulling her back to reality. Ava looked down through the blinding glare. Daniel was kneeling beside her, his wide eyes terrified, yet focused entirely on something else. Something hidden. Something only he, as a true conduit, could perceive in the static. "Ava," his voice trembled, his grip tightening. She squeezed his small hand back, forcing herself up onto her elbows. "Daniel... what is it? What do you see?"

A cold touch on my cheek brought me out of my thoughts as I look up to see Daniel cleaning my tears with the pad of his thumb. "Thora? What happened fiore?" I move my head to a side. Cleaning my tears and making his hand to drop. "Nothing. I will be fine. This death is nothing......and you only said it's a prophesy." Daniel sighs, taking the book from hands. "I wish it was Thora. Even I doubted it unless....." He looks up at my mark ,to finally settle his eyes at me. "I saw it with my own eyes." Turning the book to a page with a weird mark on it, I look at it in confusion.

Aiden’s Pov The words hit me like a stone. The room stopped moving for a second. It felt like the world shifted beneath my feet. I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. “What- what did you just say?” I stuttered, my heart pounding in my chest. Daniel slowly removed his glasses, placing his hands on his hips like he was already tired. “Yes my Lord. She was poisoned with wolfsbane.” Daniel stated as if he had given up already , like there was no hope left.

She wished she could whisk him away and kiss him some more, drink in the light of his eyes to her content, but that would have to wait until he recovered and was stronger again. Having him here like this was enough for now. She couldn't ask for anything more from the Moon Goddess, if it was the goddess's hand indeed who had let her keep him. That dream, she remembered it so vividly even now. And Marten's haunting words that Daniel should never have made it this long without the cure -- no coincidence, was it? Daniel held a thick book and murmured things under his breath. Beth crept closer, curious. "What is that?" she asked. "What are you reading?"

Titus was talking about his parents’ death. ‘How dare you?’ “And you of all people should know that I don’t forgive anyone, so you better keep your word and stay away from my family.” Daniel glared at the king. “Otherwise, you know what I am capable of, Your Majesty.” The title almost sounded like an insult. That was when Daniel stormed out and headed to the stables. *** THE HOUSE FINALLY CAME INTO VIEW. As soon as he reached the entrance, he jumped down from the horse and ran inside.

Chloe's Pov Chloe slammed the apartment door harder than she meant to. The sound echoed through the glossy living room, making her jump. She didn’t care. Let the neighbors hear. Daniel was already pacing near the windows floor to ceiling window in the living room with his jacket off, tie loose, shirt rumpled in a way she’d never seen before. His hair stuck up from him running his hand through it a dozen times. He didn’t even look at her when he snapped, “That was a circus. A goddamn circus.”

Beyond special. Caitlin could hardly even conceive what it all meant. She burst into action. After all, this was her father here, nailed to a cross, and she couldn’t stand to see him suffer. She jumped up, and took out the four keys, already knowing they would each be a perfect fit. As she inserted each key, the earth shook and the skies thundered. It felt like an earthquake, as lightning bolts came down all across Jerusalem. It was surreal. It felt like the apocalypse had arrived.

Daniel was jealous when I mentioned Darius. “Don’t even think about it. I won’t fight with my father over you again, mutt. I want nothing to do with you but will become your shadow for as long as my father wants me to. You will not ask Darius or anyone else for protection. No one should know what my father ordered me to do. No one except you, Lea and me,” Daniel hissed, releasing me just like he pinned me. Unexpectedly. Anger rose inside me again, making me lose control. I had had enough of his abnormal behaviour. I turned and faced him, folding my arms in front of my chest.

Dennis looked at his friend and found this sight was too hard to watch so he knocked on the door to try to lift some of the responsibility. "Come in" her soft voice made Daniel more guilty of what he did . 'how could he have the audacity to face her ' he thought to himself but in the end he gathered his courage and opened the door . He looked at her then looked away. He was like a child coming back to his mother after breaking her favourite vase but it was way worse. "Oh it's you !! Shouldn't you be at the family gathering or did you chicken out?!" Sera asked Daniel in a teasing tone. She felt that Daniel's aura was different. It felt like he was regretting something.

"Daniel? Oh my goodness, what would happen to him? Please tell me." She shook her head, taking a step back. "All shall be understood in due time. Be careful about the people around you, most especially the elders and the new Luna. You need to forgive Daniel for agreeing to their wishes. I made it so. You need to be close to him during this dark period." And with that she began to ascend – the wind whirling around her glowing body – the Moon, her abode not far off. She shrank into a twinkle of light and an earthquake reverberated, shaking the earth Sawyer was standing on.
