Falling Into Darkness Novels & Stories

And then, in just a snap, everything went black. The darkness swallowed me whole, like falling into an endless abyss. I could hear Vladimyr’s and Sebastian’s furious roars echoing in the distance, their rage shaking the very ground beneath me. The walls.. wait or was it trees? Where are we again? The whole surroundings… seemed to tremble, as if the entire world was reacting to their wrath. But I was falling further and further into the void. The weight of exhaustion settled over me, pulling me under as I drifted to sleep. —----

The force pushing me to give in to the darkness is stronger, so I do, I let the darkness envelop me, hoping when I wake up, it will be just a terrible nightmare. ____

“How could you possibly get that from this?” Dammit! Why was I so unlucky this evening? Not only was I going to die, but I was also going to be mocked by this tall, dark, and handsome drink of water. Or… wait… Could this be the opportunity that I need to escape? “Please,” I continue, grasping at any chance I could to live. “Please help me.” At my words, the man’s gaze comes to rest on mine, and I feel like I’m being sucked into it. It’s the strangest sensation, but I don’t have the time to really think too hard on what is happening.

" I said nothing. Because, in all honesty, I had no response. Thomas laughed. "You're not prepared." The darkness swept. Then the world fell apart. The ground disappeared beneath my feet as I fell. I was engulfed by darkness that stretched, twisted, and never ended. I was having trouble breathing. I was immobile. I was drawn forward into the emptiness by the dense air that pressed on my skin. Then— Hurt. Sharp. Burning. Actual. I slammed my knees into cold stone and gasped as I struck the ground hard. My hands brushed the uneven surface. I was breathing sharply and quickly, but I was still alive.

I don’t even have the strength to kill myself. Instead, I curl tighter into myself, breathing ragged, waiting for the walls to finally collapse and crush me where I sit. The darkness surges, then everything goes black. The darkness in the room deepens, blurs. My limbs feel heavy. The whispers stretch and thin until they are no longer words but pressure, a pulsing in my temples like the beat of some ancient, cruel drum. And then I fall. Or maybe I sleep. Maybe I collapse. I don’t know. All I know is that suddenly the room is gone. When I open my eyes, the world has changed.

But there was one that I never thought I saw: darkness. The darkness was calling me, provoking me, telling me in my ear that I should submit to it and that everything would be fine. He whispered to me he would take care of everything. He murmured to me to leave everything in his hands and that I no longer had to decide. I must admit that your offer was tempting. It only took a second of hesitation, and I fell. I fell exhausted. I felt my senses numb, and I separated from Mia, returning us to our original state.

And as I surrender to the darkness, I can only pray that someday the dawn will come and bring an end to the endless night. As the darkness threatens to consume me, a glimmer of hope pierces through the veil of despair, like a ray of sunlight breaking through storm clouds. At that moment of clarity, I feel a surge of warmth and light flood my mind, banishing the shadows of my nightmares and illuminating the darkness with the promise of a brighter future.

They all surrounded me and attacked all at once. When they were about a few inches away from me, a powerful bolt of lightning fell down from the sky, making a hole in the roof. The lightning hit me, sending me to my knees and burning my furs. The five men couldn’t escape the lightning and they turned into dust. Even my mother faded after the lightning burned her. Everything happened all at once, but I didn’t get scared even if the lighting wasn’t even stopping. I no longer knew if that phenomenon ended as darkness took over my eyes.

The shadows seemed to close in, crawling up his skin and sinking into his mind. “No…no…Please Lord help me! Let my mummy find me before it's too late. I'm feeling very tired and weak. I can't take this anymore. The pain is too much” he whispered, his voice fading into the darkness. His vision blurred, the edges fading to black as the cold cement floor rose up to meet him. The icy touch of the ground was the last thing he felt before the darkness swallowed him whole, leaving nothing but silence in its wake.

"You should stop preferring that." I smile despite myself, but it fades fast, because deep down I already know — the lies are stacking up, and eventually they're going to fall over. ===≠==≠=====≠===≠====≠====≠====≠==== Sleep comes reluctantly that night. When it finally shows up, it brings darkness with it — not the ordinary kind. Something that feels alive. I'm standing alone. No cavern. No chains. No ruins. Just endless black stretching in every direction.
