Once More Into The Light Novels & Stories

At the Sweethearts' Light Festival, I head to Truelove Bridge to film vlog footage for my wedding next month. But through the camera's viewfinder, I spot my younger sister, Mona Jensen. Standing right beside her is my fiance, Weston Shaw—who is supposed to be working overtime at the office tonight. As Mona browses a vendor's stall, the strap of her bag slips off her shoulder. Weston catches it almost on instinct and casually slings it over his own shoulder. The glittery, sequined bag, covered in plush charms, looks absurdly out of place against his tailored dark gray suit. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Yet, the bag remains on his shoulder. People stream past them down the crowded stree

She couldn’t think about that at the moment. Hundreds of eyes—the majority of them the golden-tinted gray of the undead--focused on her as she approached the map, something not all of them would be able to see so she’d have to be descriptive in her language as well. “All right,” she said loudly enough to get most of their attention. “Thank you all for being here. I see we have some new faces in the crowd. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Jo McReynolds, and I’m leading this mission for LIGHTS. I’m grateful to Lucas for joining forces with us today.” She gestured to the Souled who was standing to her right, and he gave a small wave, an inconspicuous smile on his handsome face. “We reali

"If you need time, you can always have it to gather your thoughts but don't forget I'll always be right here for you. You used to be my light in my dark days right from childhood. You always had a smile on your face ready to cheer me up all the time. But hey, even the sun sets when the time comes. But one thing it never forget to do is rise again." "You've been through a lot. And now that the sun has set around you, let me be your light until it rises again. But you have to promise not to get too comfortable with a mere candlelight. . ." Evelyn laughed softly prompting a smile from Doris' lips, ". . .never forget to step into the brightness, my supermodel!" Doris let herself get swept up in

“You're mine, and I failed you. I won't do that again.” The void fought back, the edges of it squeezing in, but it couldn’t hold me anymore. The light broke through, piercing the darkness with a blinding force that burned away everything in its path. The girl in my arms tilted her head up, her eyes meeting mine, and I felt the last of the void shatter around us. The light consumed everything, wrapping around us in a warmth that chased away the cold. Lila’s whispers grew louder, her words clear and undeniable. I reached for her, my steps turning into a sprint as I pushed through the final barrier.

"Light, listen to me." "No, I will not." Light stopped laughing and her countenance grew incredibly grave. "You've lost your mind. Every single thing that comes out of your mouth is brainwashed nonsense." "Brainwashed nonsense? Are you even listening to yourself?!" I bit out. "I've said this before. You've stayed with them too long. Everything is ruined now..." Light said with a crestfallen tone. Only for her eyes to light up once again as she said: "But there's a way to redeem yourself now."

I curled into myself on my side of bed, my fingers fluttering over my stomach. After the dark, comes the light. Fabiano could do anything he wanted but I wouldn’t let him snatch my light away this time. I won’t let him spread his darkness in my light. After the dark, comes the light. ***

Don Julio, determination evident in his voice, declared, "We won't join them. Together, we shall break this curse!" The group tightened their circle, each member drawing strength from the other, their combined energies creating a barrier of light. The shadows, relentless in their pursuit, lunged at the barrier, trying to pierce through. The battle of light and dark raged on, the chamber echoing with a cacophony of ancient laments and present-day resolve. Just as it seemed the shadows might overpower them, the amulet pulsed with a flash of unmatched brilliance, sending a shockwave that pushed back the encroaching darkness.

But we stood firm, our hands linked, our hearts beating in rhythm. "We are the keepers of the light," I said. "And we will never fade." The warmth surged around us, pushing back against the darkness. The quiet retreated, its form dissolving into shadow. "This isn't over," it hissed. "I will return. And when I do, I will destroy everything you love."

She's all grace and beauty, not at all like this wild child. "We were going to have you do a simple job, but you disrespected Mr. Lyon, so don't expect any favors now." He shot a look at Tony, who was chomping on a cigar, and jabbed a needle into my arm. Before I could fully wake up, I was hit by a wave of burning heat. As the drug kicked in and my face turned red-hot, they laughed and left, slamming the door behind them. The room went pitch black. I bit down hard, fighting to keep my wits about me.

- I added. - Should I be grateful for abandoning me?- my mother asked me reproachfully.- I'm going through this for the second time and I don't know how if I will be able to stand it.- she added, her eyes glazed with tears. - Mom...- I sighed and put my arm around her, hugging slightly.- I am not leaving you forever. If you will want to meet me, you'll always be able to find me. I'm not going to put any blocking spell on myself.- I assured, stroking her hair with my hand.
