Save Yourself Book Novels & Stories

"By recognizing that your safety enables their needs. If you burn out or die, you help no one. Sometimes self-preservation is most radical act available." Aurora sat with that for a long time. Self-preservation as radical act. Taking care of herself not as selfishness but as sustainability. It went against everything she'd built her identity around. But maybe that was precisely why she needed to consider it.

“I don’t know.” My chest ached at the fear in her voice—the way she seemed ready to believe the worst about herself. “No,” I said firmly, shaking my head. “No, Emilia. You’re not something bad. You saved me.” She bit her lower lips. “If I had escaped the forest last night,” I continued, “this morning I’d be drowning in regret. Because I would have killed innocent people. I would have destroyed everything in my path. But you stopped me. You gave me back control when I had none. You reminded me that I wasn’t just a beast. Whatever you are, you saved me from myself.”

Its impact spread far and wide, touching the lives of individuals who sought guidance and inspiration on their own paths to self-discovery.

My bed—the place where I should have been safe—had nearly become my grave. No one was coming to help me. No one was going to save me. I had to save myself. I clenched my fists, inhaling deeply through my nose, forcing air into my lungs. I couldn’t afford to break down. If I let fear consume me, I would become exactly what they wanted—helpless. No. I refused to be that girl. I had survived too much already. I had clawed my way through worse. And I would survive this too. But I had to be careful. I had to be smart.

“That is how you stay alive.” I stared at my savior, my eyes glistening. “I don’t know how to thank you.” “Learn to adapt,” he said, “and, when you must, pretend.” I nodded, the words sinking deep inside me. Adapt. Pretend. I could do that, and I could just be the best human in the city. I owed it to myself. It was time to live for myself. End of part one.

He just saved me, and a stranger we both didn't know. Lucian spoke like it was my fault that the book dragged me in. He spoke to me like I was some curious kid that touches everything she sees. I was in the library, I picked a book to read without knowing how dangerous it was. Maybe I should have just ignored the book, then all these wouldn't happen. But then, I was grateful that I was alive thanks to him, and I was able to save someone else from a horrible fate.

I was tired of arguing and just wanted to escape them both. Caleb blocked my path, grabbing my wrist painfully tight. "You're not leaving until you apologize to Sheena!" "Let go!" I cried out, struggling against his grip and desperately wishing someone would help me. Just when I was about to lose hope, Caleb suddenly released me.

I stared at the words floating in front of my face. The heat at the back of my neck climbed to my scalp. A person has two kidneys. You can donate one and live. A person has one heart–trade your heart and you die. She wanted my daughter dead. I did not know yet whether the floating text was real or a hallucination. It did not matter. I was not letting my daughter take a scratch. I slammed my palm down on the table and stood up.

He’s much like me, and I am so proud of my viking for offering to help him. “You will! I would love to learn,” Jared stood, smiling excitedly at Davis. “Perfect. Let’s go.” Jared’s eyes widen in surprise, but I was grinning from ear to ear, loving this interaction. My viking is this great man, who’s willing to take in the beaten and bruised and teach them to defend themselves, to rise from the ashes of their life and take claim of it. He’s a great man, one I am lucky to have in my life. Thank God for Liv, because without her I would have never met Davis, would have never seen my brother be happy, or would never have had a little niece to dote over. Liv is this set of siblings salvation.
