If The Savior Stood Beside Me Novels & Stories

"Shani, please come inside, I'm Ian and this is Blair." "Oh my..." Shani looked at the hand mark on Blair's pale neck. "... I'm sorry for not being able to come sooner. Let's do this now shall we?" "I'm grateful that you're here now," Blair said as she ushered her to come inside. "He's full of vengeance Blair, and your fear for him feed his strength. He's growing stronger because of it, but don't worry I'm here now. I'll get rid of him." She smiled sweetly at her.

Outside their little circle, I was startled when one of the men landed beside me on the ground. When I looked over, I noticed their neck had been slit. My eyes widened, and the urge to flee was strong as I scooted away from him. His eyes were still open, even though it was obvious he was dead. Looking into his eyes, a chill ran down my spine. It was like looking into a vortex, trying to pull my soul from my body. “Please don’t kill us! We didn’t know she was yours!” The bearded man was yelling. When I glanced up, I saw a tall figure standing between the remaining five men. Instead of surrounding them like they had me, they kept their distance. It was too dark for me to see things clearly, bu

“And when I do, you have no choice but to stand beside me.” A shiver ran down my spine. Because for the first time since my capture— I thought that maybe I had been too dismissive of him.

“If you don't, there will be blood and broken bones, and I guarantee you none will be mine.” The man hesitated and I could tell the darkness in the eyes of the man standing in front of him scared him to death. “Whatever, man," he mumbled as he pulled his friend away, dragging him to the door. “Bitch is all yours." My savior waited until the men were gone before walking toward me. “Are you alright?" he asked as he grabbed my arm, helping me up. “Yeah,” I mumbled, stumbling a bit as I tried to stay standing. “I'm just… a little dizzy.”

“Morwen, Kieran… they fed me lies like they were bread, and I ate every bite of it because it was easier than believing you’d leave.” “You didn’t believe me,” I said softly. “You believed your fear.” He nodded. “And it cost me you.” I stepped closer. “It doesn’t have to.” He looked up, his hope flashing like a dying ember. “You’d… take me back?” “I don’t take people back,” I said. “I move forward. With those who choose to walk beside me,not behind me, not ahead of me. Just Beside me.” He swallowed hard. “I can do that.”

"No, Savanah, come with me, and I'll give all of the answers you need." They give me their hand. "Come, sweetheart." "I'll answer all of your questions." I ran away from them, and I turned to see they were still behind me. I stop and look at them. "Who are you!" I shouted at them. "We are you…." I opened my eyes. "Are you okay?" I saw West standing beside me. "What happened?"

This time, I refused to be caged. I could feel the heat on my skin, but I didn’t flinch. I stood tall, eyes fixed on the inferno that had once owned me. In the distance, I heard Damon’s voice—soft but certain. “You’re stronger than the fire.” Then Mia’s, fierce and unwavering. “Walk through it, Isa. Don’t let it win.” I wasn’t alone anymore. They weren’t dragging me out. They were standing beside me, not as saviors, but as witnesses.

Gabriel stayed beside me, shoulder to shoulder, hand still holding mine. The Avatar’s gaze locked on me.

I am invariably locked in here and I can't leave nor escape. I knew I did not ask for any of this but I am beginning to think that I must have been cursed. Yes I'm jinxed! "Don't you worry, I got your back," my savior's voice seeped into my thoughts and I jeered up looking above my shoulder. I thought he was behind me but he was right beside me and our eyes met. Quickly, I cleaned away my tears and looked away. "Thank you," I responded dryly and began to walk away hurriedly.

I was failing before I had even begun. Then I felt a presence at my side. Thomas. He didn't say anything. He didn't even look at me. He just stood there, solid and steady, his presence a quiet reassurance that I wasn't alone. He believed in me. He had brought these men here because he believed in me. And now he was standing beside me, letting me know that I could do this.
