Starless Nights Novels & Stories

Gavin and I had been married for almost a year, but he always treated me rudely. I looked at the door, still closed as before. Maybe tonight Gavin would come home late as usual. The water on my face turned sad at the thought of the fact that tonight would pass in vain. Okay, I'm okay. Everything will be fine. Even tonight will probably be the same as the previous night; you don't have to be sad. I tried to strengthen myself. Fifteen minutes passed; I turned off the light and decided to sleep on the bed after the room lights were turned off. The 7X9 room was completely dark, apart from a little light source from the window vent.

Seeing that I didn't message him back, Shawn scoffed and walked away, and that's when Aster slowly came to. His sweat and blood had dried, sealing his eyelids shut. Too weak to stand, he groped blindly toward the familiar staircase, crawling forward with great effort. "Mommy… I want to go back to Mommy…" Doctors and nurses passing by whispered among themselves—some in pity, others in ridicule. I followed behind Aster, my soul pierced by a thousand needles. Step by step, each feeling like a lifetime. By the time he finally made it back to me, my blood had long since frozen in the cold night air, but Aster didn't understand. He smiled brightly. "Mommy's not bleeding anymore!"

With great difficulty, Zach reached out and wanted to touch my head, but he only touched air. Feeling dejected, he lowered his arm and looked at my rotten head. “I’m sorry, Starling.” [Please live. You can still turn back.] “It’s too late, silly.” Zach hugged my head and sat beside the pool of sulphuric acid. He threw the kidney he removed from Catherine into the sulphuric acid. Then, he turned and gave my head a gentle kiss. “I can’t turn back anymore. I only have one star in my life, but I lost her.

“Just like the star you’ve always been there.” Karen~ “Come home with me.” Is William’s first word in the last ten minutes of our stargazing. This is the first night in this week that it didn’t rain so William and I (which is just me,) spent a few hours out looking at the stars and seeing that William showed no opposition, we drove out to an open field, spread out our mat and then we laid down on the grass and we have been gazing afar off for the last ten minutes.

The night sky lit up in a myriad of colors, children in their homes were looking at the pretty lights from their windows with amused faces. Not much had changed in Stardust City, nobody even considered for a second that Stardust City would ever be destroyed by an enemy. The streets were full and the nightlife bustling as young people frequented bars, restaurants, and other entertainment venues. In contrast, outside the Six Star Mountain was pure chaos as blood and fire rained down from the sky. It was absolute pandemonium as mages and energy beast fell like autumn leaves, "Burn... Burn, Liu, Burn is down, cover me, I'm going after him."

She muttered into his chest before her body gave into sleep. He had been staring at her, his eyes tracing the slight curve of her chin to her cheek bones. The way her eyes looked so peaceful shut and her mouth was daring him to kiss her. He was mersmizred by her. His sleepy voice caught his ear. Are the stars wrong? He thought as he drew his eyes to the sky. He searched the dark cold sky trying to see what she meant. He yawned trying to remember constellations and how to find them. He went to find the easiest Ursa Major. The handle always stood out to him. He traced the stars till he found it. He felt instantly better finding it. Ok find the two stars at the end of the cup and it points the

Drust closed his eyes, smiled and then looked down at Gonar. A single tear escaped the eye of Gonar. “Is the day here, master?” “Lammas has arrived, the first harvest festival for us. Lughnasadh as we say is here at long last. Lugh of the shining spear looks down upon us well.” He then leaned down, bloody hands on the boy’s shoulders, and said into Gonar’s heed without moving his lips, “On you and I. Today, we are together.” “I’m afraid, master,” Gonar confessed, tears springing to his eyes in full.

The whispers and side talks were becoming too much. I could see my brother from the corner of my eye dragging my mom away persuading her to continue the party with him. I rushed into my room and locked the door and lay on the ground. Elektra just kept looking at me from a distance. Alcinder got up from my bed and lay on the ground, Elektra joined us and together we looked at the ceiling. We had drawn the curtains earlier and the room was dark. But the ceiling glowed with the fake constellation of the planets and stars. It was calming.

The stars vanished. One by one. Across the entire universe. Not exploding. Not collapsing. Simply disappearing. As though an unseen hand was plucking them from existence. The City of Lost Possibilities fell silent. Everyone looked upward. The night sky had once been filled with countless lights. Now entire sections were empty. Dark. Wrong. The absence felt unnatural. Nova watched another star disappear. Then another. Then ten more. A chill crawled through her body. Because she could feel it. Whatever was happening wasn't destruction.

lenses on the soldiers' helmets explode. "Go!" Hope yelled. I grabbed Silas’s shadow-hand—or rather, the "Signal" of it—and ran for the window. We dived out into the night, landing on the wet grass of a real-world backyard. I looked up at the sky. It wasn't purple or gold.
