Her Eyes Her Eyes Make The Stars Novels & Stories

“Do you like star gazing?” Surprised, she turned around. “Y..Yes, sir.” “But why are you busy with your phone? Don’t waste this moment, gaze at them.” Without hesitating, she did look up. The stars are glowing, like precious jewels in the sky. Consoled, her eyes gleam with sparks while wearing a sweet smile on her face.

How she responded—hesitant at first, then something deeper, something raw. I closed my eyes, but the memory burned behind them. "The stars are beautiful." Her voice, soft, pulled me back. I turned to find her gazing at the sky, something wistful in her expression. I should have looked away. Instead, I found myself watching her. The way the faint moonlight kissed her skin. The way her fingers curled slightly, her eyes soft. I followed her gaze. The stars. Distant specks of light, scattered across the night, burning themselves out in the dark.

He was intrigued “Oh she didn’t mean it, she corrected herself straight away and said they might hurt me! Although I don’t know why anyone would ever want to hurt me, and I never went out so recognise didn’t make sense either. Just before I started school mum said she would give me a fresh new look. I felt like I was having a real princess day. I got my hair done, make up and mum even let me try some of them eye changing contact lenses!” I smile at the memory “Why would you change your eyes?” Damon quizzes

She searches for the right word to say, “…too loud.” I look back at the stars. Yeah. I understand everything she is saying. For a while, neither of us says anything. We just sit here watching the stars twinkle the night away. Eventually, she points up, “Look.” I follow her hand to see what she is pointing at. It’s nothing dramatic. Just stars shifting. But somehow… It feels huge. She smiles, “Crazy.” I nod, “Yeah.” Then she looks at me, “You, okay?”

She nods, “Turn down the lights, or I’ll be blinded.” Ash gets up and turns off the lights, there’s a soft glow from the sun setting outside, but little else. She closes her eyes, and then blinks a few times to clear her vision. She looks at him and he can’t help but be in awe of them.

“Don’t protect her just because she saved you. Protect her because she will save others. Love will call her power back. Watch the stars when it begins,they’ll blink slower. The pines will hum. You’ll know.” Last night, I watched the stars blink like a heartbeat. And this morning? The pines were humming. I lean forward, elbows on my knees, gaze locked on the pair below. The sun paints her curls in gold. She leans against him now, tracing circles on his wrist while he kisses her hair. No danger. No tension. Just quiet peace. But I know better.

Warm gold light spread gently through the marketplace. The system screens flickered softly overhead. And across every screen in existence— a new constellation appeared. Bright silver stars forming the shape of a little girl reaching toward the sky. The marketplace gasped softly. Hope pulsed proudly. “I made her stars.” The alternate Silas stared upward in shock. The constellation shimmered beautifully across the daylight sky. Lyra. Remembered. Not as tragedy. Not as destruction. As a child. The alternate version covered his mouth sharply. Overwhelmed.

I was breathless; my voice was barely a whisper. Her eyes lowered, and her cheeks reddened. "Well, I-umm." She slowly looked up at me; there was an unusual shyness in her features. "I..." Suddenly, she paused, her eyes flew open, and a flash of glint crossed those beautiful hazel orbs. "Shooting stars!" she gasped, immediately running toward the railing. "Victor, look! Shooting stars!" she shouted, and there was a beautiful smile on her face. I looked up at the sky and witnessed the beauty of nature, but... nothing compares to the beauty in front of me. She's mesmerizing.

She asked more seriously than before. The woman looked up at the sky again, this time, a smile spreading on her face as a tear rolled down her cheek. The night sky reminded her of her child. Just turn the dark sky to sapphire blue and it'd look like just her daughter's eyes, the stars included. It was beautiful. She looked down at the other woman whose hand was stretched out and without any hesitation, she took the hand and clasped their palms tightly.
