Exit Light Enter Night Metallica Novels & Stories

The taste of metal filled my mouth as darkness crept in. I blacked out.

It is that one bad habit my mom hates and never fails to correct me with a good yell whenever I go into it . Good thing I moved out of her house, she yells about a lot of things. Impatient, I decide to open the back door to have a better peep at my 'high end friend'. But the sudden loud thud stops my hand from going any further. What the hell was that thud? My eyes dart to the right and I gasp as I realize that the tiny light above the club's entrance is the only source of illumination outside the building, and that stepping away from it will plunge you into complete darkness.

"Go to Aunt Cleo!" Aqua's heart pounded in her chest as she stumbled towards the door, her legs shaking with fear. She glanced back to see her parents fighting valiantly, their magic clashing with the dark energy of their attackers. Milak's elemental fury and Zara's healing light intertwined in a beautiful yet tragic dance of power and sacrifice. But it wasn't enough. Milak fell first, a blast of dark energy striking him down. Zara's scream of anguish pierced the air as she knelt beside him, her light flickering and fading. The witches closed in, their laughter echoing like a chorus of nightmares.

Me. I hear Benny swear as the car dies as the link between was cut. I tell everyone what is going on. Dad says he will stay here with the women. I make sure to have several of our best warriors come to the pack house. I have no idea if they will try to get this deep into our territory, but I am not taking a fucking chance. The rest of us, including Dorian, Xo and Lance headed out. They were more than able to keep up with us as we all shifted. I heard a loud howl as we closed in on where they should be. I could hear growling, and I knew that Benny was fighting. I had no idea where my dark princess was, but if they touched one hair on her head they would die. It started growing darker the clos

The space beyond was unlit, filled with nothing but pitch darkness. "Found it!" I called. "What should I expect when I get inside?" "Dan says to look for a switch to activate the lights," Lucas informed me, after a moment's pause. "If that fails, try to find manual controls for the door. Both run on separate power systems, so if one doesn't work there's a chance the other still will." "Got it!" I called, then rolled under the door. The room was dark, its contents invisible. Light from the partially opened door lit only the base of the tiles before fading into the gloom. I could just make out the tip of something massive and metallic at the edge of the light.

As they stepped into the cool, damp air of the night, the rain had transformed into a light drizzle, misting the surroundings in a haze. The world outside felt lush and alive, yet ominous with an undercurrent of uncertainty. George led the way, Elora and Maya close behind, each step bringing them closer to a sanctuary that felt both like a refuge and a line crossed. "Stay close," George advised, casting a watchful glance over his shoulder. "We don't know who might be watching."

Well, at least I finally got something I can do as a mage, right? Water splintered like glistening crystals as I turned and followed the rhythm with precision. I closed my eyes as I continued on my track, there was another smooth splash. Once again, I turned and leaped a little, then faced the audience and opened my eyes. I thought I'd see my expectants watching me in awe. But to my surprise, my line of vision was directed to a pair of unfamiliar pitch black eyes, the darkest shade of black I've ever seen in my whole life.

While the girls distract the men, please arrange this. “ We will, boss. See you later!” I switch off the device and try to guide myself through the dark to the exit door. Having our eyes used to the dark is always the best option because the light gives us away if the enemy is lurking. However, as soon as I close the door, a breath is within millimeters of my face and glued to my abdomen is a piece of metal that, with a little force, won't be hard to make my body bleed. “You?” I hope this is not my last word...

He was irate yet it was not his assistant shortcoming so he couldn't let his dissatisfaction out on him. "Presently, Escape from my sight at this moment," he growled again very loudly this time. His voice makes Alex's body shudder coldly. Sweat was all around his face. He is shaking gravely on account of his apprehension about his master. His lord is the genuine fallen angel. Alex swallows hard in dread. What's more, he hurriedly left his office promptly and shut the entryway delicately. He would not like to drive his lord more crazy when he is presently on his extreme. Any other way, what will befall him just he knows.

I positioned myself beside Sadira’s bed with the half-loaded pistol we had taken earlier. The tension was thick enough to cut. Red emergency lights pulsed through the room, signaling that the level’s security systems had been disabled. Malakai had made his move. Then the upper edge of the cabinet blocking the entrance began to glow. Not the sound of a drill, but the hiss of a plasma cutter gnawed through the metal. “Mercenaries,” Damian whispered. “Only they use that. Get ready.” With a dull crack, the cutting head pierced the metal. Regnar braced his shoulder against the cabinet, which trembled under the repeated blows. The metal shrieked as it gave way, smoke curling through the widening g
