Happiness In The Darkest Of Times Novels & Stories

“Ah, I finally caught your attention.” “I am not in the mood, Penny.” I grumbled. She rolled her eyes. “That’s so typical of you. You always have a sour mood.” I looked straight ahead at the slum we lived in. Not a single street had light. It was always dark. The darkness was a tool for the actual monsters to come out from the shadows and hunt their prey. “There’s no reason for me to be happy, either.” I said in a bored voice. She shook her head in disappointment. “You don’t always need a reason. Being happy is a choice, not a circumstance.”

I realised in that moment that happiness was only temporary, and the worst part of it was that the people who steal the shine from your eyes and the happiness from your heart are the very people you trust not to, the people closest to you. The people you love.

He felt like he was floating in happiness. His honey was no longer afraid of him, and that made Dark’s heart feel lighter than ever. At last, this was the happiest moment of his life. He was with his quadruplets and the woman he loved deeply. His thoughts were cut short when he saw Zebediah jumping up and down on the bed while laughing. He quickly rushed over and lifted the child into his arms. The confusion on the child’s face was clear. “Oh God! You are giving me a heart attack, sweetie,” Dark said, placing a hand on his chest.

"Got anything left to sweet-talk her with? Or are you planning the hundredth proposal?" They all burst out laughing. They were right. I had prepared ninety-nine proposals just to make Justine happy. For three years, I kept trying, never backing down. But now, I had nothing left. My mother's eyes welled up. "Get out of here, you little pricks!" But they barely noticed, pulling a confidentiality agreement I'd signed from my bag. They laughed, showing it around like it was a treasure. "Look, he's joining a medical research project, and he'll have to work in a secret facility for ten years."

“I- I just want us to….make things right this time. You can get married to Tyler but please, just forgive me and let's bring down Darkness.” "Oh now you're apologizing?! What makes you feel guilty?" I crossed my arms, pouting. “It's because I now know what true happiness is. I was never happy because of my money and everything. Power and dominance means nothing. I discovered that I was only happy because true happiness means being with the right people and building a family and having great friends. I want to be on good terms with you and make us start from scratch.”. I jerked my hand away from him. "Your words change nothing!” I spat, hatred evident in my voice.

he smiled, pressing his forehead to hers. "I can't believe it. In one day, God gave me both the worst and the best news. I don't know whether to be happy or to cry. Life is unexpected," she said, her tears now flowing from a mixture of joy and sorrow. The good news had given her a glimmer of hope, mending her broken soul like magic. "That's why we should never lose hope. Happiness always comes after the darkest days," Andrew said, hugging her. "Our happiness is returning with our little one." Both of them now wore a beatific smile as she snuggled in his warm arms.

Knowing his deluded mind, he would probably enjoy it. I bet he even smiled when watching me fall to my death. “Congratulations, it worked, you maniac.” “I needed to do this early, while you still don’t trust me.” He studies me, taking note of my flushed cheeks and crazed hair. I'm sure my expression conveys the horror as I still struggle to reconcile with the fact that I nearly died. “You really think I’ll ever trust you?” I almost laugh at the absurdity of that. Something dark shifts over his eyes. “Maybe.”

Something that I thought would drive me crazy but instead has me falling harder and harder in love with him. It's been six years since everything went down and as I look around at our growing family and friends, I couldn't be happier to see where life has landed us. Although we have each gone through some tough things, and knowing our parents are still in prison and will be for the rest of their lives, we each couldn't be happier with where we are now. Darkness battled us along our individual paths, and we beat it in the end. Darkness didn't win. END OF VOLUME THREE

Yes, that will do. If you guys are wondering what a blind kid is seeing. Well, I can't see anything. That's it. Darkness. Dullness.

My vision was slowly turning dark until it was completely dark and I suddenly felt numb as if this was all just a dream. “I’m sorry it had to go down this way,” was the last thing I heard as darkness embraced me with welcoming arms.
