Into The Void Book Novels & Stories

Leaning close, he whispered, "Your situation is different. She might not be able to handle it. Give her this. It'll make things easier." I nodded, understanding what he meant. Then I took Julia's hand and led her toward the small wooded area behind us. The night was deep and dim. It was hard to even make out each other's expressions. Julia seemed even more eager than before. She moved closer, her touch bold but still uncertain, sending waves of tension through me. Everything felt new and overwhelming, the intensity of it pressing in from all sides. I drew her closer until her back met the tree, closing the space between us until it vanished completely, our breaths gradually falling into the

A man’s voice answered her. “They won’t.” I recognized the girl’s voice instantly. It was the heroine, Nancy. Of course it was. They were so desperate that they did it right here. Great. Exactly what I needed when crouched in a pitch-black cabinet. This was not the moment to reveal ourselves, so the two of us stayed frozen like corpses. The room was already dark, but inside the wardrobe it was pure suffocation. When you lose your sight, every other sense sharpens.

From Alassandra's POV Once again, I felt as though I was falling into an empty void, a void unlike any other I'd ever experienced before. Even though I could see everything around me, there was no sound to be heard. The feeling left me feeling like I was alone in the world, with no one to talk to or share my thoughts with. It was a feeling of complete isolation and emptiness I had never experienced before. The only comfort I felt was that of the sweet taste of blood left in my mouth; it soothed the darkness and kept it calm, yet I still felt something else lurking just beyond the empty void that surrounded me.

The core of this collapse. A point where the threads don’t just break— They end. Completely. We turn a corner. And the world opens up. A wide intersection. Or what used to be one. Now— It’s a void. Not a hole. Not a crater. A void. A perfect absence carved into the center of the city. The streets leading into it stop abruptly, their edges clean and unnatural. Buildings around it lean slightly inward, their foundations cut off, their structures held up by nothing.

I didn’t let my work keep me too long determined to rejoin her and find some comfort. As evil as he was he couldn’t take this place from us. The blue house on the cliff, with the small town beside us. Hidden in the trees unnoticeable to anyone who passes by. Our secret oasis to hide out from the storm. It was selfish but for a moment I wished we could stay here, and let everyone else handle the big bad wolf for a change. “Are you hungry?” She looked up at me as I leaned against the doorway of the library. I nodded still admiring her form, like a cat all curled up in the chair by the fire, her hair rolling down her shoulders, peace finally reaching her eyes as she moved towards me.

My hands began to glow faintly with violet light as shadows curled around my fingers like obedient serpents. Chaos’s voice echoed softly in the darkness. “Do you feel it?” The shadows trembled in response to my breathing. “The world believes the void is empty.” A pause. “But the void remembers everything.” Chaos tilted its head slightly. “And now…” The darkness pulsed with my heartbeat. “…so do you.” The shadows continued pouring into me. Cold and ancient, they slid beneath my skin like living smoke, filling the spaces in my bones, my breath, my thoughts. My body trembled as the void settled deeper and deeper within me.

“The Void found you because of me.” “Why?” “Because I gave you something it has wanted since the beginning.” “What?” Her eyes filled with sorrow. “A choice.” I didn't understand. She looked behind me. The darkness was approaching. “Listen carefully.” Her voice became urgent. “The Void cannot possess you.” “Then why is it inside me?” “Because you invited it.” I froze. “I would never—” “You did.” She pressed her forehead against mine. “Before you were born.” My heart stopped. “What?”

And maybe when she gets back inside that book the plot will suddenly change and Assi will come to life again. Assi closed her eyes and asked for her advice. Only then did the comic suddenly shine. Its light was dazzling and painful to the eyes so she couldn't help but close her eyes as well. She only open her eyes when the light finally disappeared. And her eyes widened when she saw her surroundings. No! I don't want to go back here anymore! Why did I come back here instead of Assi?

But now… Well, now that I ran into that dangerous bastard, were the odds officially against me? “Dammit,” I grumble, realizing that I may have taken quite a few steps back in my investigation. “What is it?” Miles asks, eyeing me curiously. “What’s got our Briar so upset?” “That,” I begin, wondering if I can tell Miles about what happened. “Well, there was an incident at the club last night.” I admit, remembering Jeffrey turning into that terrifying beast and then the psycho easily smashing his head in. “Do you believe that there may be monsters walking amongst us?”

My hand was covered in Hessa’s blood. Void’s eyes widened. “The final page.” I tossed it to him. He caught it. No deal. No promise. I didn’t need one anymore. I only wanted Ashton to suffer like I had suffered. Void placed the page against the empty space in the book. The moment it touched the old pages, the paper burned with black light. It sealed itself in, as if it had always belonged there. The symbols across the floor lit up all at once. A deep vibration moved through the mountain, so low it rattled my teeth.
