Divided We Stand Divided We Fall Novels & Stories

Not the mistakes waiting to be spoken. Just her. Just us. Two broken people standing in the dark, holding onto each other like it was the only thing left keeping us from falling apart completely.

I paused, letting my claws dig into the earth beneath me. “But listen to me, and listen well, we. Do. Not. Fall. We are going to stand until the very end of this because everything that we built here, everything that we are standing on, we're not going to allow someone like her to just simply come and claim.” A growl rippled through the line.

We stood as beacons of hope, a testament to the indomitable power of love and the unwavering pursuit of truth. In the end, justice prevailed, and we emerged victorious. The threat was neutralized, the darkness vanquished. Our love, tested to its limits, emerged stronger than ever, an unbreakable bond forged in the fires of adversity. As we stood on the precipice of a new beginning, hand in hand, I marveled at the journey we had undertaken. From the ashes of our past, we had risen, transformed by the challenges we had faced and the love that had carried us through.

We stood united, determined to protect what we had built together, no matter the cost. In a final act of defiance, we turned the tables on those who sought to tear us apart. We orchestrated a masterful plan, exposing the true culprits and bringing them to justice. It was a bittersweet victory, one that came at a great price, but it also brought a sense of closure and a renewed appreciation for the strength of our love.

"Whatever comes for us, it will find a camp that stopped hiding behind old laws and older grief. It will find us standing together, or it will find nothing at all worth conquering, nothing it can divide the way it has divided us for a hundred years." A low howl rose from somewhere in the crowd, answered by another, and another, until the whole clearing rang with the sound of a hundred wolves declaring the same thing at once, unity instead of fear, choice instead of inheritance, a sound I felt in my chest long after it faded into the trees.

“He wants us afraid, divided. But we’re stronger than he thinks. We’ve come this far together, and we’ll face whatever comes next” A murmur of agreement swept through the crowd, the resolve in their eyes flickering to life again. They were tired, but they were unbroken. And I knew, no matter what Gideon threw at us, we would face it as one.

Absolutely certain. "Yes," all twenty-two said. "Yes. We want. We choose. We commit. We want to separate. We want to become individuals again. We want to undo damage. We want to heal fracture. We want to part. Teach us. Guide us. Show us. Help us separate. Help us become individuals. Help us undo forced merger. Help us. Please. We want to separate. We choose to separate. We commit to separation. Help us. Please. We want to be individuals again. We want to separate. We choose separation. Help us."

I said and looked over everyone. "We are all going to take different paths after today. Others will head to college or university while others will choose a more different direction but that's okay. It's all the small insignificant things that make us who we are," I spoke. "We've come a long way and I know there's still more self-growth we need to learn before we can fully be responsible. We are the class of 2018, messed up but still unique in our own weird way," I finished and exhaled.

Two sides at war just trying to be stronger than the other and not caring who falls in the process. The princess and the general had a plan. One final idea that would end the war and they didn’t care how it would end for them. They had a point to prove and only one way left of how to prove it. Since they had both been locked up on their respective sides for the last year, it wasn’t easy to escape but they somehow managed and made their way to the battlefield. There they stood atop the rocks yelling so both sides could hear. In both their hands lay a dagger each ready to do the unthinkable to stop the war. They begged and pleaded one last time for both sides to stop fighting. It didn’t matter

I dropped the cup and the hairpin on the table. “I and Xavier had our differences in the past months and we both decided that staying away from each other for sometime would be the best thing that we could do for each other. Everything else other than that is moving just the way it should, and you can take a look at our companies, it gives you all the answers in which you need to know.” With a quivering lip I clung tight to my gown like it was some sort of lifeline.
