Deep Down Dark Novels & Stories

**In the Depths of Darkness** Esteria's consciousness drifted in a world of cold shadows, the icy tendrils of darkness tightening their grip around her soul. She could feel it, the malevolent force trying to consume her entirely, to drag her into an abyss from which there would be no return. Her breath came in ragged gasps, her strength ebbing away with each passing moment as the darkness clawed at her, relentless in its pursuit of her very essence. The void around her seemed alive, writhing with sinister intent. It whispered to her, voices that were neither human nor demon, echoing her deepest fears and regrets. *You are nothing...* they hissed. *You are weak... You will fail...*

"What did they call them before?" Obanai looked at me with the particular expression of someone who was delighted to have a new audience. "The Deep Floor. Which is exactly what it sounds like. The lower geological level of the northern realm, sitting beneath habitable land the way a cellar sits beneath a house." He leaned forward. "The problem is that the cellar is rotting and no one built a drain." "That's a very specific metaphor." "It's an accurate one." Nala was looking at her nails. Hale had closed his eyes.

We continued dancing in that position still, his head in between my shoulder and neck while we both snickered at our stupid actions, yet neither one of us was mature enough to stop. “Baby, can’t you see, I’m calling.” He sang with a wide grin, his breath hitting my neck, making me giggle. “A guy like you should wear a warning. It’s dangerous.” I continued with the song as we moved from side to side, then with another, we returned to our normal dance move, his hand on waist. “I’m falling.” We sang together over the soft music, it was “Toxic” By Britney spears (Fifty shades darker version) then grinned like the idiots we were.

Came his deep voice just as the darkness finally consumed me and I slipped into unconsciousness

Recommended song: **Let You Down (Instrumental) By NF** The shallow breathing of Calista stopped the moment she whispered her last words to Leevon. Her face turned pale, and lips carried a tinge of purple. She was a vampire, and now… a dead vampire. Soon, her mortal body would either away in the wind. The night was retiring along with the moonlight and the moon that witnessed this epic love, betrayal, and hopes, marking the onset of the morning sun.

A low tone echoed upward. The staircase fully activated. Lights flickered alive down into the depths. And as Emma began to descend— The voices inside her returned. Not chaotic now. Not fractured. Aligned. Calm. Rough. Grieving. Silent. All speaking at once. We remember. Emma’s breath trembled. “What is this place?” she whispered. And from the darkness below— A new voice answered. Not Mercer. Not Replacement. Not Genesis Zero. Not any version of Emma she recognized. A deeper voice.

Her lips moved like rhythm. I grabbed the glass from her hand and placed it down. She grabbed my neck and deepened the kiss. I pulled her closer and she hissed making me break the kiss. "You are hurt." "I don't care" She locked her lips with mine. She is drunk! I gathered her in my arms and walked out of the basement. It's already dark and everyone is sleeping. I don't know why Dominick is putting his trust in me and letting me roam in his house at night.

Rowan covered me closely from behind as we got back into the car. He drove while music hummed through the speakers. I rode a pulse of excitement and dread. Rowan was never up to anything tame. The car finally stopped and my heart doubled when I realized we were heading underground. The vibe was all danger and promise. “Where is this?” I asked as Rowan lent me a hand to come out of the car. “Don’t worry. You will like it,” he said. “It’s called the Dark Night.” “Dark Night? But it’s three in the afternoon,” I said as I checked the time again to be sure.

TIME: 03:00 HOURS. LOCATION: SECTOR 8 - THE "DEEP SUMP." STATUS: EXILE. They didn't find a spaceship to whisk them away. They didn't find a secret rebel base with hot food and soft beds. They found sewage. Ren Walker, formerly the top sniper in Aegis Online and briefly a millionaire, was currently wading through thigh-deep sludge in the lowest drainage tunnels of Aethelgard. This was the Deep Sump—the subterranean intestine where all the city's chemical runoff, biological waste, and industrial slurry flowed before it was pumped out to the dead ocean.

Everyone nearly collided into him. “What is it?” Ariadna whispered. Elias stared ahead into the darkness below them. His expression had gone completely pale. “No…” A cold knot tightened in Ava’s stomach. “What?” Slowly Very slowly A new light flickered on beneath them in the darkness. Blue. Cold. Artificial. Then another. And another. Rows of hidden underground lights activated far below the stairwell one after another. Illuminating something massive beneath the earth. Something buried deeper than Lazarus. Damien looked down once
