Romans & histoires Drowning In The Dark

I could see another silhouette behind, a familiar one; My wrafter, but I didn’t have time to mutter a command. The pain was too overwhelming for my body and conscious to handle, and I was out cold, embraced inside a pool of darkness.

I'm struggling through darkness. Far from all light, and love, and life. Death has swallowed me whole. Gasping for breath, I struggle against the black embrace of the ocean, bindings of frozen ebony velvet that hold and smother me, pulling me down, down, down. Far below, the bus falls through the shadows; far above, a maelstrom of shattered glass dances through the water. My body is tired. Thrashing wildly against the tide, I gasp for breath, and take in a lungful of burning saltwater.

I always feel that something will pull me under the water, and I almost died because of drowning. What a great coincidence. And I don’t know if it’s me, but I really felt something under the water. As if two cold hands are trying to slow me down. Bigla tuloy akong kinalibutan. Mas binilisan ko ang pagtakbo even though it was hard as the water is currently almost at my hip. And shit. The worst thing is I don’t know how to swim. Great! Just great! Why the hell is this happening!? Isn’t Illuminating darkness supposed to be fully and romantic? Then why the hell I am experiencing something like this!? Horror is the new romance na ba!? Bakit di ako na inform na nagbago na pala.

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 curl up to fit my body on the sofa and attempt to get comfortable. I feel myself being swallowed by darkness. By body feels weighed down, like I’m being drug into the depths of the ocean. Drowning. I’m being pulled deeper and deeper into the abyss. My arms outstretched, grasping for the walls to stop my descent into the darkness. My hands gliding against the darkness, nothing to grasp to slow my plunge into nothing. My mouth gaped open in a silent scream.

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. I hold onto the railings and stared at the dark sea in front. Even with the moonlight, the sea is still so dark. It looks so calm on the surface but who knows what are the dangers awaiting beneath it. Even if it's dangerous, I couldn't help but adore it. I wonder how Helion will kill me? Because if I will make the choice, I rather be drowned in such a wonderful sea. Dying under waters is everyone's horror, but for me I think it's a lot more noble. After all, dying in the place you love is better.

The black cloud of darkness dropped from the sky at the center and enveloped the gold wisp, then sunk lower to envelope Mila's body. Something didn't feel right. I tried to scream. I tried to move. I think I had just made a mistake. The darkness billowed outward, masking all light from the circle. My vertigo took over. I swayed, but couldn't move to catch my balance. I felt like I was falling even though I wasn't moving. My stomach took over, swirling with nausea. It was more than I could handle, and I dry heaved in the utter blackness. I felt like I couldn't breathe. Like the cloud was suffocating me. It felt cold and lifeless. The black swirl on my arm burned to life at its touch, pulsing

I felt the darkness engulfing me, pulling me into a cold abyss. I was drowning in it, unable to breathe and my heart racing as I tried to gasp for air and reach up to the dimming light. ‘We can’t give up. Not yet. It’s not over.’ August encouraged, but even his voice sounded weak. “Hey, stay with us. I’m not explaining to our Luna that you died on my watch.” An unfamiliar voice growled encouragement as a bright light forced its way through the darkness.

Sandra said through gritted teeth. Yada's head snapped back as her vision faded and Sandra's voice slowly filtered into echoes, and the world spiraled into darkness. Somewhere in a floating sea of emeralds, she felt her body falling.

For letting her brother die, just like I let him die. The darkness is closing in and swallowing me whole. I am drowning. I cannot breathe...I try to get rid of the darkness but there's nothing to get rid of. I am drowning. I am choking. Someone grabs my wrists and pushes them down to my sides. I try to push myself up. I lift my arms to reach for help. I want to fight back against the darkness that's swallowing me but my arms keep resisting. I open my mouth to shout out his name
