Once Again Into The Light Alone Novels & Stories

🎶Alone by Alan Walker. 🎶If this night is not forever...🎶 🎶At least we are together...🎶 🎶I know I'm not alone...🎶 "You'll never be alone my love," she heard a whisper in the wind. With her eyes closed she couldn't tell if it was Ace or her imaginative voice but right at that moment, dancing in his arms, her head resting on his arms in a beautiful garden she knew she wasn't alone tonight and if she wakes up alone tomorrow then she'd treasure tonight's memory for the rest of her life.

I met you in the dark, you lit me up You made me feel as though I was enough We danced the night away, we drank too much I held your hair back when You were throwing up Then you smiled over your shoulder For a minute, I was stone-cold sober I pulled you closer to my chest And you asked me to stay over I said, I already told ya I think that you should get some rest "You bring light to my dark world," Apollo whispers making me smile. I knew I loved you then But you'd never know 'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go I know I needed you But I never showed

I stepped closer to my pillar and read the words aloud: "In the heart of darkness, light must shine, But alone, its glow will fade with time. By shadow’s grace, the light is freed, Together, they are one in need." Evelina joined me, reading the rest of the inscription on her side: "Through dusk and dawn, they dance as one, For without the dark, the light is undone. When both are present, the truth is clear, Together they guide, without fear." She met my eyes, understanding lighting up in her expression. "It’s a test of balance—light and dark. Both need to work in unity to move forward."

I called out, my voice echoing in the darkness. For a moment, it felt as if my words were lost in the void, but then, a flicker of light appeared in the distance. The light grew brighter and stronger, and I knew that the others had heard my call. With renewed determination, I focused on the light, drawing upon the power of unity to break free from the darkness that enveloped me. As the light surrounded me, I felt the bond between us rekindling, and together, we emerged from the shadows, united once more.

The shield closed, and we were left to wait outside. An hour passed. Then two. In the third hour, the circle began to flicker with an unnatural light, a color that didn't belong in a proper healing ritual. Martha gripped my arm nervously. "That light… something's wrong." Elder Thomas's face grew grim. "She's using the wrong herbal combination. If this continues, it will—" His words were cut off by a guttural, animalistic scream. The sound was completely inhuman, filled with pain, despair, and… an unspeakable horror.

Pain exploded through me, and I curled up instinctively. They dragged me back to the warehouse. The man spat on the ground in disgust before storming out, leaving me alone with my fading consciousness. After what felt like an eternity, the heavy iron door creaked open, and Elliott Reynolds stepped in, silhouetted against the light. His familiar, nonchalant drawl broke the silence. "Wow, look at you. A few days out of sight and you turn into a total mess."

The carousel was still there, spinning round as if nothing had changed. I bought a ticket and sat on the same familiar horse. The wind blew against my face. I closed my eyes. For a moment, I could still hear my daughter's laughter… and David warning me, "Be careful." This time, no one was with me. I rode alone. A wave of dizziness washed over me. I knew death was near. I forced my eyes open, but the world grew more and more blurred. With trembling hands, I pulled out my phone and used the last of my strength to dial a number I had not called in years.

She gasped for air, her face turning from pale to the gray of the grave. Her head slowly dipped beneath the lake's surface. Desperate, I reached for her arm, but my hands just kept slipping through her, powerless to save her. My mother's struggle ceased. Her eyes snapped open, locking onto mine. Tears streamed down as she whispered, "Yocelyn, did you come for me?" She could... see me. My eyes widened in shock as I cried out, "Mom—" "Mrs. Carden!" Just then, Samuel's voice cut through the silence like a knife.

I murmured when I realized that the electricity went off due to the heavy rain. "Are you okay?" I heard Lenos' voice. "Don't worry, the school has a generator. I'm sure the lights will be back soon." I realized that even his voice sounded good. It sounded deep and masculine. I cleared my throat. "Yeah. I'm not afraid of the dark." I gripped the lighter in my hand and lit it up. The little fire from the lighter provided faint light for us. I was able to see Lenos face when I pointed the fire to his direction.

Light concerns. I nodded my head in understatement but I was shivering in pain. The pain in my heart is excrutiating out but I was keeping it back. Not showing anyone how weak i am from the inside. “Are you okay? You haven't replied.” Light asks worriedly. “I am sorry, I was distracted. What were you saying?” I apologize. “I think we should try this once you clarify your doubts. I hope it will work with you?” Light suggests.
