To You Who Swallowed A Star Novels & Stories

, no lights can trespass over 1 meter. An unknown energy on this planet is “eating” the light as a food source at night. As a result, no light exists. I look up to the sky. Leon says today’s weather is perfectly clear with no cloud, so actually we are gazing into millions of stars from GX67 Galaxy, but for now, as all lights are eaten, I cannot see anything above. I wonder how breathtaking it would be if the sky is perfectly clear. All the lights in this base are made with special grade metal to lock the energy so it doesn’t get burned too fast, as a result, all the lights look like rounded light balls, fluffy and warm wandering around the trees. I follows Leon to a tent.

“No one gets perfect overnight. It takes practice. And even if it’s not ‘it,’ then it’s just the wrong thing for you. So do it all, mess up, and find the one right thing to shine at.” “What if I never do?” I whispered, afraid of the truth in that possibility. “You will. It’s you, Ayra. You’re my brightest star.” She kissed my forehead. “Bring it over here, I’m going to get it framed. You’re going to sign it. I’m not missing out on the early days of your journey. This’ll be worth millions one day. I can feel it.” And now here it was. Still framed. Still imperfect. Just like me.

What was wrong? "Earth to Theo? Hello?" I waved before him as he looked spaced out for a moment or two. "Uh..yeah. I am here, sorry I totally spaced out." He shuttered shyly. I can see that. "That's alright!" I smiled and continued eating the garlic and cumin rice with some healthy salad in the side which just came, Thank God for that. I was about to faint cause of starvation. "Hey, Here is a crazy idea. Maybe you should move in." He said in a rush not thinking clearly.

Then I spread my arms and legs and turned in circles, allowing the moonlight to hit every inch of my skin. My stomach grumbled with murder, rejecting every bit of what I had swallowed. But I would rather die than throw it up. This was my only hope. I incessantly swallowed my saliva, indicating to my body that the only direction was down, and it had another thing coming to it if it even thought about sending anything up.

Max ruffled his hair and stood up. “All the best Alpha and Luna, we will take your leave.” Greg and Matilda bowed and left to allow the next family to greet their leaders. When the meet and greet finally came to an end, Star was dead on her feet and her stomach grumbled. “I’m starved.” She mumbled when Max placed her plate down and without waiting for him to be seated, she popped a piece of barbecue in her mouth, savoring the salty flavor on her tongue. “Oh, this is good.” She said to herself earning a chuckle from Max.

"I guess you're right, Richard. That observation point offers the clearest view, so it should absolutely be reserved for the two who need it most." Faye, on the other hand, served Xavier some food. She remained silent throughout, but the blush on her cheeks spoke volumes. I didn't really like the food at the buffet, as the flavors were far too overwhelming for me. I chewed on some seafood, but the heavy seasoning irritated my throat, and I couldn't force it down. I lowered my head, spat it out, and rose from the table to look for a lighter option. Richard followed me and whispered, "I saw your post a few days ago about going to the observation point for the meteor shower, Caleb. I think it'd

Another real thing — something humans can’t touch, can’t ruin. I know someone’s standing beside me. I noticed the second he walked over, but I don’t bother looking. He smells nice, clean, warm — but the moon has all my attention. The stars, too. Maybe it’s the freedom of it all that keeps me staring. “You know one fact about the stars?” I ask, still watching the sky. When he doesn’t answer, I keep going, my voice quiet but steady. “Most of them might already be dead.” The words hang there between us. “Their light just hasn’t stopped reaching us yet. It’s kind of sad, isn’t it? How something can be gone and still look alive.”

Isaac shouted, his voice coming from inside the smoking wreck. I looked back at the woman beneath me. Her face was turning a dark purple. "You... think... you're... different," she choked out. "But look... at your skin." I looked down at my arms. The veins were turning black. The "infection" the librarian had mentioned was spreading. I wasn't becoming human. I was becoming the very thing I hated. I was turning into a Star-Eater. "It doesn't matter," I whispered. "As long as you're dead first."

He said softly, "Explode!" Boom! The huge roc exploded directly. In an instant, countless stars trembled. A terrible purple storm swept through the starry sky. The stars were swallowed by the storm and exploded one after another, as bright and dazzling as fireworks.

Star's face was pale, her swollen belly a cruel burden. "Sweet, isn’t it? Watching you chase what you’ll never have," Ravena hissed, her eyes gleaming with venomous delight. Helios surged forward, but too late. A portal tore open behind Ravena, swirling dark and violet. She yanked Star through it, and in the instant before it closed, Star’s mindlink flickered. I love you... Gone. Helios struck the empty air where they’d vanished, a roar of fury breaking from his throat. "DAMN IT!"
