Staring Into My Soul Novels & Stories

His eyes were cold and calculating, and yet my heart was tattooing itself onto my ribcage from his intense gaze. I felt like he was looking straight into my very soul, taking me apart under his scrutiny. My want on side wanted him to take me apart in other ways. Wait! Dirty mind say what? "Uh guys?" My brother called out. That was enough to snap me out of my daze, but it apparently did nothing for the guy who was still looking at me.

“A soul tether.” Mira stiffened. “Absolutely not.” Olivia frowned. “What is that?” “It’s dangerous,” Mira said sharply. “That’s what it is.” Caroline ignored her, turning to Olivia. “A soul tether allows someone to enter another’s consciousness—to travel into their mind and find what’s keeping them trapped.” Olivia blinked. “You mean… I could go inside his head?” Caroline nodded. “Yes. But it’s not just a simple visit. You would be stepping into whatever prison those shadows have built for him.” She closed her book with a soft thud. “If you get stuck in there… you might not come back.”

The darkness would claim victory. I shut my eyes and reached beyond the stabbing pain in my ribs, beyond the searing heat of the gashes carved into my back. Deeper still, I searched for the very center of my soul, for that tiny, uncorrupted spark neither light nor darkness could touch. This was the part of me that belonged only to us.

I opened my eyes, scrambling away, but something caught my attention. I slowly looked down at the floor where I was crawling. My heartbeat was so fast that I couldn’t breathe properly. I panted, looking around. Blood was everywhere. I wailed, then squeezed my eyes shut. Make it stop! Please! I can’t take this any longer! I stiffened when I felt someone beside me, staring into my soul. I slowly opened my eyes and looked beside me. I felt the blood drain from my face when I saw a pair of eyes piercing into mine as if digging deeper into my soul.

"I've been sure since I was five years old, standing behind my parents, watching you. "I've waited twenty-three years for you. And I don't wanna wait any longer." My eyes burned, vision blurring with tears. All that time I was chasing Bailey, there'd been someone else, standing quietly behind me, loving me even longer. I nodded hard. "Okay."

Maria. Panic gripped me as I rushed to the window, my heart racing in anticipation. Were they outside? Were they flaunting their disgusting happiness? But when I peered out, the street was empty. Disappointed, I exhaled sharply and turned away. That’s when my gaze landed on the gift box sitting on my table. I had completely forgotten about it. For a moment, I stared at it blankly, trying to recall how it even got there. And then— "Jeez!" I groaned, cringing as memories of my early morning encounter with Stefan flooded back.

Turning around again, I hope to find him staring at me impassively, but find no one. How bloody stupid is this?! Why am I doing this when I’m only days away from destroying my father? But I know, he won’t let me drown. Turning around, I jump into the translucent depths. Amu and Troy dance, the moon glows down on me as I sink deeper, searching for those piercing pale eyes. As I immerse lower, the spirit fish dance restlessly, powerfully. They seem disturbed. Why are they like that?!

I came to a stop in the middle of the clearing standing there staring up at the sky the stars twinkled and the moon glowing. I heard a rustle behind me I slowly turned to see what the noise was when two pairs of eyes were staring back at me I couldn't see anything else as they hid in the shadows but the eyes they called to my soul. I was frozen on the stop waiting for what I'm not sure but I couldn't will myself to move, after what seemed like an eternity the bodies that those eyes belonged to moved forward from the shadows and into the moonlight.

Like a flower opening for the moon, that odd part of my brain that was the cause of so much of the anguish in my life bloomed like jasmine under the night sky. Tagan growled from behind me, his lips against the skin of my neck. "Whatever it is you're doing, keep doing it." I pressed into the spot in my mind instead of shuddering away in fear and grief. I stepped fully into the sparkling void that was lit only by moonlight. I threw my arms open and pulled that starshine and moonlight into my body, let it fill the empty caverns of my soul. "Eternal shit," Thane breathed. He came and stood in front of me. His dark brown eyes lit fully with the yellow orange flames. "Your eyes are sparkling with

My soul is being ripped to shreds, I feel like I am dying a most excruciating death. My vision blurs, my soul continues being stripped. There’s a sudden howl coming from somewhere, and then my world goes completely dark.
