Hope X Lightning Novels & Stories

Nate, who was the flower boy, trailed behind Henry with a small bouquet in hand. From my seat in the crowd, I saw the look of bliss on Emma's face, and I felt happy for her. The lights dimmed, and the spotlights focused on the newly married couple. Stuart sat beside me. Henry's law firm conducted business with the company, and Stuart had been invited as a VIP guest. He was acting somewhat differently today. He seemed a bit restless. Observing the happy couple, I couldn't resist remarking with a sigh, "Emma looks so happy!"

Thomas said, “Open them slowly.” My heart hammered against my chest. I opened my eyes slowly, and the light I hadn’t seen in over a decade flooded my vision. I could see blurry silhouettes shifting in front of me. I could see a window. I could see the flowers. I could see the sunlight, trees, and birds outside the window. I could see them all. “I can see… Dr. Thomas, Julian, I can see!” This was a moment I had waited over a decade for. Dr. Thomas hurriedly said, “You mustn’t cry. Your eyes cannot handle any irritation right now.”

"Don't deny it. You may say that you hate Light but she is the one you wanted. She is the one who must've fit all the ideal qualities of what your wife and queen should be. Then she disappeared and you had no one to vent the blame on but me. "Unfortunately for me, no matter how much I want to, I can not be Light. I am not Light. I will never be Light. I'm Hope. No one seems to acknowledge that, but Light and I might share the same blood but we are two different people. I'm Hope. Not Light. And you need to know that." She reached for my shirt and fisted it around her fingers. "I'm Hope. Why don't you see that? Why doesn't anyone see that? I'm Hope. Hope! Hope! Hope!" My hands automatically wr

Carefully listening to their conversation. “Death is not what I fear, Diana. I only wish for my daughter to have the happy life she deserves,” my mom sobs. “She may look fine but deep down I know that my girl is sick of her father’s hideous cruelty. And I’m not able to do anything for her.” The way she is crying, it aches my heart. “That’s why I’m here for your help, Lylah,” Mrs Salvatore says softly. “For how long, Diana? All the things you ever did for me and my children make me ashamed of myself, as I'm not in a position to repay the debt.”

She looked to Victoria who knew everything, only she just gave her a huge smile. Zaine knew immediately who the gift was for. He put in all of his hard work to make something she would be proud to hang anywhere in her room. What he didn’t know was that just minutes before she had been proposed to, until he seen the sparkle from her left hand. Something in him roared to life. Something he thought had died within him long ago. The two of them looked at each other and could feel it. The same thing that happened when they were kids. A metaphorical lightening struck the two of them in their heart. Years of not seeing each other. Not knowing how the other was truly doing. Having no contact except

I whispered back, “promise you won’t retreat when the storm hits. Because this… is only the opening drizzle.” “Deal,” he breathed. “As long as you keep dancing by my side when the lightning strikes.” We spun once more. In my mind, that lightning was already scripted—a blinding flash meant to scorch his reputation and unveil the face I once hid. But for a moment—just a moment—I let myself sink into Hugo’s rhythm. Amid the clink of crystal and the shimmer of the city below, two performers danced, each believing they held the script... unaware the stage was still thick with secrets.

“What?” “I would like to join the celebration. Would like to experience joy directly. Would like to try being happy instead of just observing happiness. Would like to exist among them instead of apart from them.” Hope’s light pulsed nervously. “Is that allowed? Is that acceptable? Will they accept me? Will they let darkness dance among light?” “There is only one way to find out.” I held out my hand. “Come. We go together. We join them. We celebrate. We exist. We live.”

It shimmered faintly, silver and alive, like liquid light. The baby whimpered, eyes still closed. And then...slowly...she opened them. For a second, everything went silent. Damon’s breath caught. My heart stopped. Because Hope’s eyes weren’t blue anymore. They were silver. They glowed like molten moonlight, reflecting off the tears on her cheeks. My hands trembled. “Damon…” He didn’t answer. His face was pale, his voice gone. I held Hope closer, whispering her name, but the room felt suddenly too still, too cold.

Cyra lunges from behind, his blade glinting in the dim light. I let Nyah surge forward. My eyes burn, my chest tightens, and then... BOOM. A torrent of lightning bursts from me, crackling like a storm tearing the world apart. The sound is deafening. The ground splits beneath my feet, dust flying into the air. Lyra screams as the wave slams her back, Cyra vanishes before the blast can consume him, reappearing across the field, pale and shaken. Even Cancer steps back, shielding his face against the light.

being happy about each other's path. “1... 2... 3...Clear...” Being fine ... “Raise the voltage!” ...when you see them walk away from your life. But, me... “Her heartbeat is getting too slow.” ...
