I Choose Darkness Jenny Lawson Novels & Stories

** The Choice of Shadows** Clara stood alone in the center of the room, her body trembling as the shadows of her mind crept closer. The words of the dark figure echoed in her mind, each one a weight, pushing down on her soul. You are the darkness, Clara. You can’t outrun it. It’s a part of you. Always has been. She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. The power inside her was like a tempest—wild, unpredictable, and, at times, terrifying. But it was also exhilarating. It was power, a raw, unbridled force that surged through her veins.

She needed answers. * The sun was high in the sky by the time she finished her first set of exercises. As soon as the lights went off in the gymnasium, it became dark. It wasn’t particularly dark. The lighting in there wasn’t as bad as it usually was, but it definitely wasn’t bright either. It had never been bright and shining, however. The lighting had always been dim and monochrome. Even on the brightest of days, the light from the windows barely managed to reach the ceiling above. Even when it did manage to reach the top, it was barely visible thanks to the thick clouds that covered the sky. It was almost impossible to see the color of anything when there weren’t any shadows to hide behin

♠️ ETHAN♠️ The warehouse district was a ghost town at night, rusted metal and broken windows, the perfect place for secrets. We moved in silence: Caspian’s team in black tactical gear, Dre and I flanking them. Thermal drones had pinpointed heat signatures inside the old cannery building. We breached hard, flashbangs popping, doors kicked in. Shouts echoed as Caspian’s men flooded the space. Brandon had Georgia pinned against a wall, knife to her throat, eyes manic. Jamila and Francesca stood nearby, guns drawn, duffels at their feet, ready to bolt.

“I have come to correct the First Dark’s mistake. To undo its betrayal. To prove that existence is suffering and nothing is superior. To erase everything and return all consciousness to the perfect peace it should never have left.” Dawn moved forward. Stood between the Second Dark and the pack. Protecting. Defending. Choosing. “You will not erase them. You will not harm them. You will not undo what I chose.” Dawn’s voice was firm. Final. “I am the First Dark. I am the original. I am the strongest. And I say existence continues. Something persists. Life is protected. Accept my choice or leave. Those are your only options.”

"There are no what-ifs. Just like the stars… Once they choose their path, their orbits are set. They'll never cross paths again." Lucas stared at me in stunned silence. Pain and regret welled in his eyes as a faint glint of tears formed in the corners. But in the end, he said nothing. I quietly closed the box. Then, I turned and walked away. … After returning to our home country, Lucas was convicted of intentional assault and sentenced. All the stars he had once named were revoked from official records, except one. It was the star he named "LAW" the year he proposed.

Next Step: * Should we move to Chapter 11, where Iza starts leaking Dark’s secrets to his rivals, or should we have a scene where Dark tries to "buy" her forgiveness with an even more lavish gesture—like bringing her father to the penthouse?

The rest of the group knew it was useless to tell her to take a break. Sally would only stop when the job was done or when Johnathan told her to. She didn’t know how to enjoy the little moments of peace when they came. She was always on the go. They all hoped that once this was over, they could rest and never have to fight again. What they didn’t know is that if all went according to plan none of them would survive, not even Sally. Once Johnathan found the darkness, he planned to kill them all. He was going to steal their darkness and offering them up at sacrifices. He almost regretted lying to Sally, but her death was needed most of all. He had to sacrifice the one thing he held most dear t

“I won’t let the darkness consume me.” The woman’s smile faded, her expression growing colder. “You don’t have a choice, Fiona. The darkness is already inside you. It’s only a matter of time before it takes hold.” I shook my head, refusing to accept her words. I had fought against the darkness before, and I would do it again. I wasn’t going to let it control me, no matter how strong it was. “You’re wrong,” I said, my voice steady now. “I do have a choice. And I choose to fight.”

I wouldn’t imagine anything used to cure a human of an illness would get rid of this supernatural pest. “That’s because this thing isn’t of human origin. You need to think outside the box Doc.” I didn’t wait for her response honestly; I was tired, and my wolf wanted to see his mate. It wasn’t the best news, but it was at least a step in the right direction. *** Raven’s POV My body was cold. Jumping awake I was surrounded by darkness. I couldn’t see anything. I could hear the shuffling of feet all around me though. “Hello?” I was lying on cement with no memory of how I got here. Lightning flashed in the sky lighting up my surroundings for the first time. “The alley?” How did I get back in the
