Into The Darkness Novels & Stories

everything smears into darkness. And before I can understand what is happening, the darkness swallows me whole.

It was for me alone. > “We are coming for you… child of the divided dawn.” A shiver wracked my entire body. > “We will not allow the bringer of light to survive.” My heart slammed hard enough to hurt. > “One light cannot hold all darkness.” And then the whisper turned cold. Hungry. > “We will claim what is ours.” The last trace of darkness retreated into the earth, disappearing like ink sinking into water. Silence fell again. Except this time, it was the wrong kind of silence.

The floor split. And everything fell into darkness.

The window burst open. And darkness poured into the room.

I didn’t drown. A split second before the air was sucked out of me, a guard saved me. However, all he did was haul me onto the riverbank and dump me onto the ground. I coughed violently, gasping for air in the pitch-black darkness, my hands trembling as I reached out carefully to feel my surroundings. “Shawn?” No one answered. The only things I could hear were panicked footsteps in the distance, followed by his frantic roar. “Butler! Get a doctor here, now! Ava, wake up! Keep your eyes open. Look at me!”

But this t ime for each other. For the life we’d steal back. One step at a time. Into the dark. Toward the light.

Else. Something. Darker.

And then— Darkness.

What follows is a painful fall and then. DARKNESS!!! ÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷

Not forgetting the darkness. But choosing light anyway
