Dark Fall Book Novels & Stories

“I can see you’re trying to run away, Miss Scarlett.” I flinched so hard I nearly fell. My heart slammed against my ribs. Slowly, I turned around. The man standing there under the moonlight looked like he had stepped out of a dark romance novel. Tall, slim but powerfully built, with sharp cheekbones and piercing gray eyes that seemed to glow. His dark hair was perfectly styled even at this hour. He was dressed in a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up, looking every bit like a god… or a vampire.

Dark of Night Copyright 2019 Emily Goodwin Chapter One “What do you see when you look at this one?” The doctor holds up a card, showcasing an ink splotch that’s twisted and creepy, with eyes that follow you no matter where you go. I look at it, heart hammering away inside my chest. The mess of ink on the white paper reminds me of the monster that lurks in Nana and Papa’s basement, the one that tried to get Abby and Scott to go downstairs with it.

“The fire… it protects us as much as it consumes.” I trembled, heart racing, body alight. “Then… I’ll stay,” I whispered. “No matter the danger. No matter the fire. I’ll stay.” He smirked, dark, twisted, magnetic. “Good. Because once the fire has you… there’s no turning back. And you… you’ve never been more alive.” The fog swirled around us, curling like living smoke, isolating us from the rest of the world. Shadows pressed close, whispers lingered, but it didn’t matter. Not tonight. Desire and obsession had claimed me fully, and I welcomed it.

Here I was, nearing the end of my time in college, with no real certainty as to what the hell my next step was. I knew I wanted to get in government in some fashion, State Department, something like that. I knew it would happen or work out eventually, but right now I was feeling pretty low. And maybe that was the perfect time for a predator to seek me out. What if this guy was like Wyatt? I mean Haven said he was young and handsome, but everybody thought Wyatt was hot. I wouldn't even know it because we're going to be in the fucking dark. The idea of meeting a handsome stranger in the dark was kind of alluring to me I had to admit, but why not just ask me on a date?

Their footsteps trailed off. I lay there, my gaze fixed on the ceiling as the pain grew and my sanity started to crumble. I wanted to scream, to beg him for the drugs, to go back to that stupid, numb peace I once knew. However, I could not. The door swung open. Francis walked in, the small silver bottle glinting in his hand. He looked worn out: dark circles under his eyes and a rough stubble on his chin. He sat down beside me, watching as I writhed in agony.

Still, the way he said it, like the words made me feel small. “Tell me, Snow,” he pressed, voice dipping lower. “What kind of books do you read?” My stomach dropped and panic fluttered in my chest. If he knew, if he even suspected. The facade I’d built so carefully for my parents would crumble to dust. He couldn’t know that behind closed doors, I consumed more dark romance and filth than any good girl should. The sound of the front door swinging open snapped the moment in half. I blinked, tearing my gaze away just in time to see my dad stride in. Relief flooded me so fast my knees almost buckled.

He had a feeling that would learn something important from following her that could get this succubus in quite a bit of trouble. - So you went there, Nadir. And for quite a long while, as I can see. Let's find out why haven't you came back home for the day.- Nathaniel said to himself and followed her scent to the surface. His eyes literally lit up at the thought of his next mission, following, finding out secrets, and bringing fugitives back to the Underworld, and a wide smile appeared on his lips. Nathaniel was in his element now, he was a Fallen Angel made to hunt others. Therefore, he was suitable for the Black Roses ward, whose task was to search for so-called "good souls", that is, peop

Jilin lifted her hand from the folder and placed it on top of mine. But I withdrew from her. I pulled away from Reese too, crossed my arms over my chest and stared at this folder. "You're still alive." I felt the old pain that threatened to tear my heart apart. Even today, in my dreams, I kept hearing my parents' screams. I saw how they had torn them, how the blood flowed and how the light of life had disappeared from their eyes. "Yes, and you have to go to Historia." Very slowly I raised my eyes to her face. "What do you expect from me now?"

But sleep didn’t come easily. In the quiet moments, fragments of memories flashed through my mind, the fear I once felt, the shame, the desperate need to hide. Now all of that had dissolved into something hotter, darker, and far more addictive. I was no longer fighting the fall, I was diving headfirst into it. And tomorrow, in the Black Chamber, I would discover just how deep this rabbit hole truly went. As the first hints of dawn began to creep into the club’s artificial sky, a final message arrived on my phone, left on the bedside table by an attendant.
