Sunset Senja Novels & Stories

How I love the majestic feeling the sunset gives me. "Do you like it?" Kenji suddenly asked. When I looked at him, he has his eyes fixed on the horizon. "I do, I love it," I answered. "I've seen every sky with you, Hayley. They are all beautiful. Even the rain that poured down on us for a long time. It's cold but it was fun." Kenji gazes at me, his eyes sparkling from the sunset glow. He had that look on his face that's tender and sincere.

Selena adjusted the strap of her sundress as she stepped onto the gleaming deck of the *Eternal Siren*, the warm Mediterranean breeze tugging at her long, dark hair. At 24, she still couldn’t believe her luck. A luxury cruise won through an online contest—first-class suite, all expenses paid. She’d packed her sexiest bikinis and her most elegant dresses, imagining cocktails, sunbathing, and maybe a handsome stranger.😚 But something felt wrong the moment she boarded.

Elvira snapped impatiently and hung up with a bang. "It's real! The bomb is real! Elvira, don't hang up! Don't hang up! Elvira! El–" The timer hit zero, and a deafening explosion tore through my body before I could even react. The bomb on Whitney detonated in an instant. Shockwaves rippled through my vision as I screamed, "No!" The next second, I was sent flying by a tremendous force. The world around me fell instantly silent. I drifted in an endless darkness, dizzy and disoriented, for what felt like an eternity.

As his heart usually did whenever he saw her, it flipped, then skipped a beat, and he had to fist his hands to get his head together. Her abundance of long, wild curls billowed down her shoulders. She was in a yellow sundress revealing way too much of her cleavage, and strappy white sandals. A big smile plastered on her face as she skipped down the steps, heading straight for his car. Her smooth, sun-kissed complexion glowed, and he shifted about in the seat to get rid of his growing hard-on. She was his. His. Theresa, her mother, walked out onto the porch and waved at him at the same time

I smiled at her reassuringly. She bites her lip, then looks down at my hand before reaching for it. I gladly gave it to her. “I hope you don’t mind, Luna. It helped me feel stronger earlier when you did this.” “I would never mind lending you my strength. We are not alone in our struggles, either one of us anymore,” I told her, gripping her hand enthusiastically, swinging them back and forth. She sighs in relief. “Thank you.” We sit in silence, just watching the ocean and its majestic rhythm as the waves dance before us. The sun shining on the water makes the ocean glitter, its bright rays reflecting back to the world, making its beauty blinding.

“Crystal Forest pack members, I now present our newest mated members, Marcus and Rebecca March and Theodore and Jenni Martin. Please join us for a meal and celebration.” As we make our way to the center of the room where the table is set up for us, a cold wind blows through the common area, no windows are open and no doors lead outside for there to be a breeze. I look at my father and see he is not affected by what has just happened, neither is Teddy, Bex, or Marcus. I start to feel very heavy, like I am under water, and I know that I am about to have another vision. I grab onto Teddy with intensity. I feel him go rigid, and hear him call for my father, but I black out. I see nothing, hear n

The sun was a bright pale yellow as it started its descent into the west. The sand underneath them felt like sugar with its softness. It was nothing like the beach back home, where the sand had a rougher texture. People dotted the sandy shore everywhere to watch the night spectacle. Of course, it was easier to be awake to watch the sunset than it was to see it rise, so it had a greater audience. Selby's hand caressed her skin as his arm wrapped around her back. She felt the cool air caress her face as they nestled in the soft sand, watching the pale sun slowly sink into the horizon, changing from pale yellow to a vibrant orange.

The scent of salt, citrus, and charred pineapple lingered in the air, mixing with the tang of sunscreen and warm skin. Serenya rested on a blanket near Cheyenne and Gunner, legs stretched, toes buried in the cool, damp sand. Solana shifted gently within her, hooves pressing softly against her heart, murmuring encouragement and reassurance. This is what we protect, Solana whispered. These moments. This peace. Remember them. Cheyenne leaned back, brushing a strand of damp hair from her face. “Not bad for your first beach day as a Guardian,” she said. “You held your own through chaos, toddlers, and Tora’s pineapple assault. That’s practically a medal in my book.”

“Just trust me, okay?” *** Sebastian was peacefully enjoying his time on the beach, soaking in the beautiful sunset that painted the sky with warm tones of orange and pink. With a cold beer can in hand, he gazed thoughtfully at the setting sun, reminiscing about old memories that brought a gentle smile to his face. He could almost hear the laughter of his younger self and Janet echoing through the years. They used to run along this very shore, their footprints mingling with the waves. He remembered the way her hair caught the sunlight, turning into a halo of gold as they chased each other.

No mother-in-law from hell, no cruel husband, and at worst, maybe a jealous ex-lover that attempted to kill me and failed. Selene gently takes my hand and I understand that Seth is right. I'm a child. I've been wrong all along. "If you need anything, let me guide you," Selene offers. I nod and blush, and now it is I that cannot look anyone in the eyes at this new court. No longer am I Dawn, the young and proud whom those feared, the Cursed Child, but now I am Simply Dawn. Simply Dawn is not feared nor hated, back at home, where she is the Cursed Child, and mayeb that is a good thing.
