I've Got A Darkness Shining Through Me Novels & Stories

“My room is at the end of the hall. If you need anything, come get me.” “Okay.” Mr. Ashford turned off the light. The room went dark. He was a silhouette in the doorway. “Lock the door,” he said quietly. “I don’t want anyone touching you.” He paused. His expression shifted. “Not even by accident.” Then he was gone.

Accept whatever this was with Mr. Ashford.

“Eden, where are you? Come out now. They want to make June drink.” Eden immediately became flustered, and he was only able to manage one sentence. “Katie, don’t misunderstand me. I’ll explain to you later when I’m back.” I weakly slid down and sat on the floor. I just let the pain wash over me and drag me into the abyss of hopelessness. Even my breath smelled of blood. I cried in silence. After a long while, laughter from the outside jolted me back. “Did you see Eden caring so much about June?”

"You were always meant to fall." The darkness grew closer. I let out a gasp. I was immobile. unable to think. My thoughts were twisted and pulled by their voices. I lacked sufficient strength. I wasn't sufficient. Then there was a flash of light. tiny. feeble. but authentic. It grew and burned as it pumped inside me. The darkness hissed. The other me narrowed her red eyes and took a step closer. “You can’t escape this.” I let go of the terror.

I'm a mess, a broken, pathetic mess. But I'm still alive. And that's enough. For now. I have to keep going. I have to find a way to pull myself out of this darkness. I have to keep fighting. The world tilts, and I stumble, catching myself on the edge of the sink. My head throbs, a relentless drumbeat that threatens to shatter my skull. I need to get out of here. I manage to make it back to the bed, collapsing onto the worn mattress. I close my eyes, seeking a moment of respite, but the darkness offers no escape.

Henry**** The darkness around us seemed to close in as the power inside me pulsed, still alive and burning beneath my skin. I couldn’t escape it. It was a part of me now, a constant reminder that the life I had known—my identity, my safety, everything—was slipping from my grasp. But even as I felt its grip tightening, there was something else in the air. A presence, a force that had never been there before, and I wasn’t sure whether it was something to fear or trust.

Even the air is suffocating I am drowning and there is no one to save me. I just want someone to come to break this silence and make this darkness disappear. I want someone to rescue me from this hell....... '𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒈𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒂

He may burn the world but the only thing I will yearn for is this constant affection. I don't just crave the darkness. I may just be the darkness itself. *

Callista What am I looking for? Why am I here? Where am I? All I can see is the darkness. Pitch black and cold seeping into my very bones, threatening to take away my free will. Keeping it hidden away, whatever I am searching for. Sometimes the darkness toys with me, giving me glimpses, and I run at them like a madwoman. But then it’s yanked away from me, leaving me lost once again. Where is it? Show it to me, please, I need to know.

The sun is already setting in the sky, so soon it will be dark. But, that's what I want. I love nights. Why? Because it is dark, and I love darkness — I learned how to hug and love the darkness inside me. To the point that I think without the darkness I can't live. Because I know myself very well in that place. That room. That dark room—the darkness. Just like what the song is saying in Lithium. ~Here in the darkness I know myself~ As we go near the shore, I was startled when someone covered my eyes— a blindfold.
