Downfall Characters Novels & Stories

“You wouldn’t have heard of it. It’s strictly between heaven, hell and the fallen.” “What’s a fallen?” “It’s someone who used to be an angel in a past life. When they’re resurrected, they’re identified by a specific birth mark. You, my dear, are one of the fallen. You should have a birth mark that’s shaped like a star. It’s in different places for different individuals but your parents found yours on your hipbone.” What the hell. This is way too much information that I wasn’t expecting. I’m essentially in the middle of a holy war, if what she’s saying is the truth.

Robbie might be a weakling and an opportunist from what I could tell, but Mira seemed confident her brother wasn’t alone in his conniving. It wasn’t surprising to learn how many poisonous males had outlasted the downfall of society thus far. The strong, cunning people are always the ones to come out on top after all, but I reminded myself that I also had to be one of those people for me to be standing here today, whether I accomplished it by my own merit or not.

He chuckled bitterly and slipped his hands into his pockets, his arrogance dripping from every word. Uncle Mark, unable to hold back his anger any longer, lashed out. “Dwight, you think you’ve won because you have power, but don’t forget this: every tyrant meets his downfall. You will find your Achilles heel, and when you do, there will be no escape.”

"You've betrayed everything we stood for. Our pack, our loyalty, our honor. Your thirst for dominion will be your downfall." He laughed, a deranged sound that sent a chill down my spine. "Downfall? You think I'll fall?" he sneered, his voice laced with a perverse pleasure. "No, Scarlett. I will rise. And when I do, you'll be nothing more than a forgotten memory, crushed beneath my heel."

I give a little gasp as Jackson crumples to the ground at my side, and then Luca and Rafe and Jesse and Ben all fall – I catch Daphne’s eye, guilt and devastation on her face as I, too, collapse to the ground.

My crutches slipped and I went down, it was a great fall. As I tumbled down, my eyes caught the Dowager's gaze. She wasn't perturbed nor worried. She was gazing intently at my legs as I fell. It looked with great scrutiny and I realized that my fall was all planned to check my legs. I was a great actor too. I let my body fall and I rocked the ground powerfully. It was a great show. I groaned as my body hit the ground painfully. It was an act, but the pain was real.

"Joshua! You're the one who drove a wedge between us! I'm going to kill you!" "Watch out!" Talia screamed and threw herself in front of me. The blade sank cleanly into her abdomen, and blood bloomed across her clothes. "Talia…" Adam froze. The knife slipped from his hand, clattering to the floor. Talia staggered, gripping his collar, hatred and resolve burning in her eyes. Then, she grabbed the fallen knife and plunged it into him. She kept stabbing him, over and over, until he collapsed, motionless. I didn't move. I couldn't intervene as it all happened in a blur.

The room suddenly felt colder. My throat went dry. "No. This isn’t about me." Charlotte grinned. "Isn’t it, though?" My pulse thundered. I turned to Damian, searching for reassurance, but his face was unreadable. Evan took another step forward. "You see, Naomi, there’s something you need to understand. Damian isn’t the hero in your story. He’s the villain in mine. And every villain deserves a downfall." Charlotte walked to Evan’s side and linked her arm to his. "We’re just here to make sure he gets exactly what he deserves."

He smiled. After meeting her, he started to smile more. Then his mind replayed something and his face lost the smile. His Nano was so wrong. How can a fragile, something so sacred be the reason of his downfall? He can't let his grandfather's words take over his head. She is worth every price, every risk. ******

The climax was my father, the only family I had left, dying and leaving me behind all alone, but life, fucking life finally became absolutely shitty and pointless when I found out that the fucking one I dated, only dated me so that he could learn all my secrets and sell me off to the freaking bullies, that was the finally draw. It made me cut myself away from the world, and vow to never tolerate any shit from anyone ever again. Fast forward to the present and a brief introduction, I am Elias, the mysterious heartless dangerous guy that's immune to any emotion apart from anger and violence, and the mad depressed guy who cuts himself when he feels worthless, blah blah blah… In conclusion, I am
