Tangled Now I See The Light Novels & Stories

I stepped closer to my pillar and read the words aloud: "In the heart of darkness, light must shine, But alone, its glow will fade with time. By shadow’s grace, the light is freed, Together, they are one in need." Evelina joined me, reading the rest of the inscription on her side: "Through dusk and dawn, they dance as one, For without the dark, the light is undone. When both are present, the truth is clear, Together they guide, without fear." She met my eyes, understanding lighting up in her expression. "It’s a test of balance—light and dark. Both need to work in unity to move forward."

I clenched my teeth, frustration and helplessness washing over me. "What is that light?" I asked. A bright white glow was growing behind them, intensifying by the second. It was so vivid it almost seemed to pierce through the haze clouding my vision. "Can't you see it?" I whispered. But Chase and Liam exchanged puzzled glances, their attention solely on me.

I said gasping in awe. He chuckled a bit before ruffling my neatly set hair. I frowned at him and set my hair again properly in a high pony. I have a natural caramel balayage hair. It is a mix of caramel, honey and black hair. He pulled my hair-tie out and secured it around his wrist. I frowned at him but he just chuckled and tucked a lose strand of my hair behind my ear and placed a pin in my hair to keep it from falling back on to my face. I pouted and looked away but I smiled touching the pin in my hair. Someone cleared their throat and I looked up to see Rowan standing there with his hands crossed over his chest making his biceps bulge and his black Henley shirt is not doing any justice

With his help, the Golden Squad would try to save their city and hopefully prevent a war, before it's too late. "You know, I've been wondering, do you actually think you're the good guys? Like, 'oh, we're the Light, we're the good guys, we're good people,'. That's total bull, you force people into that cold wretched place. Do you know what it's like over there? Endless winter, the sun never shines, children learn how to adapt to the cold and the cruelty of our world when they weren't actually supposed to," she paused to take a breath. Tears were threatening to stream down her face as she looked at the people in front of her.

"You kept it too long with you. Why selling it off?" Jayden. Unmistakable. That was his voice. I almost froze. I wasn't expecting this at all. How did he track my attempt to sell this off—because I fucking needed the money to fight him, actually? I wasn't even done with the thoughts rallying in my head when his hand dropped on my thigh, and my body jolted. "I don't need the light to tell you are dripping wet for me." His voice dropped like fog on window blinds, instigating Greek against my body.

Someone I didn’t ful⁠ly re‌c‍ognize. It wa‍s‌ morn‌ing​ when re⁠ality hit me.​ The ligh‌t comin​g throu‍gh the curtains was too b‍righ‌t.​ My head​ throbbed. M⁠y ch‍est fe‍lt tight. It was 6 a.m. A‍nd s​uddenly‍, it all ca⁠me crashin‌g​ d⁠own.

With all instructions issued, the sky outside was already beginning to lighten with the first hints of dawn. After I finished issuing all the commands, it was nearly dawn. I managed to steal a brief hour of rest before heading to the island where the wedding was to take place. I had only just emerged from the dressing room, freshly attired in my custom tuxedo, when a powerful grip suddenly clamped down on my arm. "Just what in the world do you think you're doing, Finn?" Dorothy demanded. "Do you have any idea how much irreversible damage your childish tantrum has caused?"

Lantern light and starlight tangled on our faces. For once, the future didn’t look like a web or a ledger. It looked like this. Messy. Crowded. Chosen.

Vandaulf regarded her, then reached for her hand, his fingers closing around it gently. "No more hiding, Lily." She tightened her grip on his hand. Once. “No,” she said, stepping forward, voice steady as thunder. “No more hiding.” And with the eyes of the world fixed on her, Lily James walked into the light—no longer a ghost, no longer a pawn, but the heir returned. The war was only just beginning.

For the first time, the figure hesitated. Jamal exhaled shakily. “We will get out of here together.” The darkness shifted violently. A rumble rolled under our feet. The ground opened. Jamal grabbed me by the waist. “Melissa, hold on.” “I am holding,” I said. The other me raised a hand. A ring of gold light spun outward, fast and sharp. Jamal pushed me behind him. The light sliced the air and wrapped around him like a tightening rope. He gasped.
