I Would Recognize You In Total Darkness Novels & Stories

Good. That makes this easier. I step back. Breathing hard. Body shaking. But standing. Still standing. “I’m not your weapon,” I say. The words echo. Louder than before. Stronger. “I’m not your system.” The pulse responds. Bright. Alive. With me. “I’m not yours.” Silence. Then— everything goes dark. Again. But this time— it’s different. Not forced. Not controlled. Chosen. And in that darkness— I feel it.

I stood there clutching the tenderizer, trying to breathe through my rage as the interrogation room door opened. I didn’t need to look behind me to know who it was. I felt it. I felt the hairs on my neck stand up at the intense power. It wasn’t Zio Alec. It wasn’t even Chesed. It was Darkness. I’d know that aura anywhere. I don’t think there’s a person who has been near Darkness who could. “You were told to leave him alive.” Darkness said as he stepped to my left.

I screamed, my voice booming across the darkness. But the figure didn’t answer. They only tightened their grip, their eyes sparkling with a cold, evil light. And as I looked into those eyes, I recognized with a terrible sense that I was face to face with the enemy. And there was no one to save me.

“It's not like that. It's not something you can get rid of. It's part of me; it's my other half. It's who and what I am. Don’t you see, I am the darkness! To get rid of it would be to get rid of me. I'm no good for you. I will only cause you pain and suffering. I am the darkness! I'm the monster everyone's afraid of. I'm the beast in the dark that children have nightmares of. I am the evil from the depths of hell and will only snuff out your light, little angel. You and I can never be together!” He said with a deep and rough voice. Smoke seeped from his body again, and a dark aura rose from his body like a shadow looming over her.

I could hear someone chuckling but it wasn't Rowan, it was Lucas, Rowan's brother. ‘’I’m Lucas’’ he brought his hand forward for me to shake. ‘’Leah, nice to meet you but I’m in a hurry.’’ ‘’Sure, pleasure’s all mine’’ ‘’What the fuck is going on here?’’, and here comes the wolf who was hiding in the lamb’s clothes, glaring at where my hand was still in his brother’s. ‘’Does it look like we are fucking each other? It's a handshake’’, I replied, with sarcasm of course.

My eyes fall shut, trying to keep the tears at bay. “I accepted the path of darkness for myself. I’m a vampire,” Lucas continues. “That’s what we are. That’s what’s inside of us. Darkness.” He slips one hand under me, and my heart swells in my chest. “I believed I could never be anything but dark. I let it consume me, and I told myself that’s how things were meant to be. For over a thousand years I clung onto that false truth…and then I met you.” A tear rolls down my cheek.

Rafael chuckled darkly. "Ethics?" "Yes, ethics!" She answered back. "Make me believe that she deserves to die or else I am out of this!" She held the gun in front of him and released it from her hold. Rafael grabbed it before it could fall on the ground. "Do we need to kill the humanity in you before you kill her " He raised his eyebrows threateningly. Mira smirked. "You are underestimating me if you think I don't have darkness in me! Ask your brother, he knows it better!"

Fear and something electric twisted together in his gut as the darkness consumed everything sight, saf ety, resistance. He was completely, utterly at Cove Voss’s mercy. And the nightmare had only just begun.

Black as the darkest night hair against a crisp linen pillow, brown skin against a blindingly white sheet, and tiger’s eyes burning with deliberate cruelty and triumph into hers. In horrified rejection of the imagery that had sprung into her mind, Lara Anderson shuddered violently, dimly aware that she was still in the grip of severe shock. Abruptly, she was dredged from her turmoil by the insistent shrill of the telephone in the hall. Reluctantly she answered the summons, carefully shutting the lounge door behind her so that her father was not disturbed.

“Which way to go?” Eka onyx stares into Roy’s grey pupils. “The closer one” he replied indifferently * * * In the meantime… Rina felt a tumultuous pain in her chest, the next thing she knew was darkness engulfed her vision.
