Falling Into The Darkness Novels & Stories

As Butterfly I could pretend to love my too-sharp curves and my big mouth that didn't mind spewing whatever I was thinking when provoked. In short, other people took vacations, and while I technically couldn't, I made myself a new identity and took my vacation every day when the last light drained from the sky. I lifted my turntable from the stand. It was big and I couldn't see my feet, which was bad since they tended to trip on air. As I took a step forward I felt a piece of wire curl around my ankle and I fell forward. I closed my eyes expecting the hard ground but it never came. Instead I felt a pair of muscular arms wrap around my torso and gently set me on the floor.

Black as the darkest night hair against a crisp linen pillow, brown skin against a blindingly white sheet, and tiger’s eyes burning with deliberate cruelty and triumph into hers.

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 despite every effort, it became painfully clear that there was nothing more to be done. In the wake of the devastating loss of their son, James and Isabella's world crumbled around them. Their grief was a bottomless chasm, and at that moment of heart-wrenching despair, there were no words that could adequately capture the depths of their pain. James, a stern and composed man by nature, crumbled to his knees by the river's edge, his face contorted with anguish. His strong shoulders shook with the weight of his sorrow, and tears flowed unchecked from his eyes. He had been unable to protect his son, and the burden of that failure weighed heavily upon him.

My surrounding started to get darker, like a dark presence slowly eating at reality, everything around her was turning black. Afraid and confused, I yelled for Nick but got no response. Then I noticed the darkness slowly enveloping me, starting from the feet until it reached my neck, I realized that this was the end, and I will never going to see the end of the I was trying to crack. It was over. There was only darkness. But as my final light slowly fades, A brighter light pushes the darkness further away.

My eyes fall shut, trying to keep the tears at bay. “I accepted the path of darkness for myself. I’m a vampire,” Lucas continues. “That’s what we are. That’s what’s inside of us. Darkness.” He slips one hand under me, and my heart swells in my chest. “I believed I could never be anything but dark. I let it consume me, and I told myself that’s how things were meant to be. For over a thousand years I clung onto that false truth…and then I met you.” A tear rolls down my cheek.

I couldn’t comprehend the amount of information I had that day. I could see the entrance getting closer, as a shadow stepped out from the doors as my vision blurred, and I fell. I had nothing left in me; the darkness cascaded down around me as I was dragged into the abyss.

The normal rush of it dulled by my aching heart. After a few moments that’s it. All the souls in the forest. Dead. Darkness rises up and rushes towards me from all directions.
