The Daughter In The Shadows Novels & Stories

I nodded but then thought for a second, “How do I know this is real?” I asked, “Am I truly here?” She giggled and got down to my level, “Look to your daughter for reassurance. Then you will know.” It didn’t make any sense, but I knew better than to argue with the Moon Goddess, real or not. I nodded then turned back to my family, “I’m ready.” Before I knew it, I was screaming as I felt my daughter leave my body. “It’s a girl.” The doctor announced; Andrew kissed my lips and made sure I was okay before meeting her. “Let me just make sure you’re okay, Mrs. Levette.”

He felt like his heart shattered as he watched his daughter screaming in agony. At a certain point, Shadow regained her consciousness and looked at her papa. She choked when she realized that she was the reason for that distorted face. Struggling, she rose while being burned and took slow steps back to the edge of the cliff. “Baby!” He went full blast panic, looking in between her and the cliff at the back. Please, don't do me like this, baby, what he tried to convey to his daughter. Of course, she ignored him. She stepped backward until her heels reached the end of the cliff.

The shadow rose from the floor. It peeled itself away from Selene like black smoke, stretching upward until it formed the silhouette of a woman. Not the Woman in White. Not Selene. Someone between them. Someone with Selene's eyes. Someone with the Woman's posture. Someone who looked frighteningly familiar. "Who are you?" Selene whispered. The shadow turned toward her. "I am the daughter you were never allowed to remember." Selene's heart stopped. Kael moved between them instantly. "She's lying."

It was quiet for a few minutes and he finally said, “Tilly and I have absolutely no secrets. People like you and me … we can’t be with just anyone. It’s either one night stands, fake short term relationships or nothing. You don’t just find a Tilly on every corner.

" You already believe what you want to believe. Will it make any difference if I tell you the truth all over again? You are deaf, dumb and blind. " The woman was still persistent. " But who are you? " She begged again. " Oh, don't you know me already. Did you just not introduce me to your daughter as the Daughter of the Damned?

The delivery, though a harrowing rollercoaster ride due to her frail condition, ended in success. However, her personal doctor, Mr. Sam, delivered the devastating news to her that another pregnancy would jeopardize her. Despite this, he celebrated the safe delivery.

My eyes opened to the sight of my eight-year-old daughter Aaliyah standing in front of me with her big bright brown eyes. As soon as I woke up I knew I didn’t avoid getting a killer hangover. Not only that but I was pretty sure I was still a bit drunk. No doubt I went… a little overboard at my friend’s party last night and I couldn’t remember much of how it ended. I got an idea as my eyes slowly shifted from my daughter to the other side of my bed. Strategically I pulled one of the blankets over the head of my one-night stand.

Concrete walls stretched off in two directions and the black maw of a doorway faced him. Always comfortable with the darkness, Vanadine flowed towards the dark rectangle and entered the building. Darkness wrapped around him like a cloak that he welcomed, becoming one with the shadow, as was his nature. Yet what would have been almost utter darkness to most people was like daylight to Vanadine, his eyes naturally able to perceive light most could not. He strode purposefully and silently through the building, marking what once had been a hospital wing but was now just a hollow shell. The sounds of a struggle and voices drew him on as the pair of men taunted and teased the woman, making her squ

The moment I do that, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to determine whether it's really my family that got into this or not. Sure enough, the sound leads straight to my room, and I open it to see blood everywhere. Okay, a police officer is definitely coming sooner or later.

A couple of people from the Shadowfang organization are dead as well, b
