Darkness swarmed me, and it felt like I was being swallowed whole! One moment, I was clinging to Ani’s limp body. The next I was yanked downward, deeper and deeper into blackness.

He would ruin my mood. After dinner, I went to my cabin to rest but I woke up in the middle of the night. I couldn't sleep again so I just decided to go up on the top deck and get some fresh air.

CHAPTER NINETY-SEVEN *Darkness engulfed her* "Jane!!!!!" the voice drowned in her ears as she crawled into total darkness. She opened her eyes, it was all pitch black. Devoid of life. Devoid of emotion. Devoid of memories. Devoid of hope. Just stark darkness. Where is she? She was floating in the dark as if she was drowning underneath the deepest part of the ocean. She couldn't see a thing. As if she was staring into the dark space mirroring her consciousness.

I don’t like seeing him like this. I want to tell him not to be. That it’s okay. That he’ll be okay. He has to be. I want to say something, anything, but my body won’t move. My lips don’t part. My voice is gone. All I can do is look at him, fight to hold onto his face for one more heartbeat, even as the darkness pulls harder at me. It’s heavy. Endless. Cold. I’m drowning in it now, my fight slipping through my fingers. My eyes close against my will, and Alexei’s face fades into the dark.

[The Whisper in the Dark] The darkness was not merely an absence of light; it was a physical weight, pressing against Ivy’s eyes and filling her throat with the taste of ancient dust and sea salt. The heavy grinding of the stone wall sealing shut had echoed like the closing of a tomb, severing the last thread connecting her to the world above. Now, there was only the damp cold of the cellar, the rhythmic crashing of the Atlantic against the cliffs outside, and the ragged, wet breathing of the woman who wanted to kill her.

I can't breathe and the darkness overwhelms me. I can't breathe and I drown in a sea of horror. The clarity that comes with drowning is a strange thing. The darkness I see laughs at me and although it does not speak, it talks to me. It calls me weak and tells me how undesirable I am. It mocks my effort to reach the light, because what is candlelight compared to the depth of an abyss? "Stupid child!" They mock me. "How can you defeat us? You're merely flesh and blood. We are but never-ending energy."

I tried to touch his, intertwine our fingers so he wouldn't let go. But then, he was ripped away again, and Everything went white. I woke sitting upright, my breathing sharp and uneven, heart clawing at my ribs. The dark room loomed around me, foreign enough that it took a second to remember where I was. Lucien’s mansion. The glass house. My pillow was damp. My hands were shaking. And worse of it all—my throat hurt. Because I had been speaking out loud. It was more than a dream. A dream that felt too real.

Feyre’s POV I was thrown into the darkness this time; flung with such violence and force that I feared my landing would end my life. I never landed at all. Instead, I was whirled endlessly by unseen forces, tumbling through the unending darkness until my body was suddenly frozen to a stop, suspended mid-air. I couldn’t tell if my eyes were opened or closed, so vast was the darkness. And then I began to drown. I don’t know when I first had the realization that I was underwater.
