Waiting For The Light Novels & Stories

“It’s here to decide.” The words settled. Heavy. Final. Across the room— A single light returned. Not from the ceiling. Not from the walls. From the center of the space. Soft. White. Focused. It illuminated one thing. A figure. Standing exactly where Aria had been moments ago. Still. Composed. Waiting. The rest of the room remained dark. The crowd— Frozen. Not physically. But functionally. Like the world had paused everything that didn’t matter. And kept only what did.

I hang up before he can bitch more. I won’t be back soon. I don’t have a plan past this moment, and that’s the thrill of it. The light in her window flicks off, and I wait, counting the minutes—sixty of them, to be exact. My pulse hums, steady but electric, as I slide off my bike and cross the street. The night’s quiet, just the way I like it.

It feels… warm… I want to chase that warmth… Reaching it with my hand, I run and run to reach it. But I fell. Falling on the ground, I look at the light… Being sad that it might go away and I would have no chance to reach it… it was… strange… Why do I feel like, the light was waiting for me? We may not be that close to each other, I can't even reach it even if I bend my hands but… Strangely.. The light was there waiting for me. As I stand up, it then started to move. But… just like before, it didn't leave me. It was as if… the light was guiding me…

Because whatever is waiting for me in there— Whatever they built— Whatever they think will stop me— They’re wrong. I move forward. Straight into the dark. And the moment I cross the threshold— The door slams shut behind me. Locking. Sealing. Cutting off everything. Including the way back. And ahead— A single light flickers on. Revealing something I didn’t expect. Not guards. Not walls. Not traps. But— Rows. Of people. Dozens. Standing perfectly still. Eyes closed. Silent.

Her eyes are burning and full of angst, "I will have my own house someday and my success will be your greatest failure!" Soaking wet, she decides to stop by a traffic light post. Her mind is confused if she will take her chance to cross the street or just pinned her feet into the ground cursing the rain and letting her body numb from the freezing coldness of the wind. She started to count while staring and waiting for the red traffic light to turn green, "One...two.. " "AAAAAHHH!" People loudly screech with despair as the whole city went blackout and terrifying lightning strikes.

The barrier's glow was fading, its light dimming with each passing moment like the last embers of a dying fire. Aurora stood at its edge, her feet planted on the cold stone, her light flickering in response to the ancient magic's distress. Behind her, the city waited—her family, her friends, everyone she loved and everyone who loved her. Ahead, the darkness pressed against the barrier, reaching, hungry, patient. It had been waiting for centuries, and now its moment was finally approaching.

I sat there for a long, unbecoming time, beyond the point of crying and my breathing slowed. The colored light through the window changed as the sun moved across the sky, its patterns changing on the floor. Other people paused in, a Spanish-speaking old woman who prayed out loud, a young man sitting back in the farthest pew and staring at his hands, a nurse who came in during what was probably her recess. And so I waited, in prayer and mind, hope and despair. For nothing could be done then but wait. Wait and pray that somewhere out in the workings of things love would conquer greater than the forces arrayed against us.

I didn’t need to though; he knew they were there. “Time to go ladies.” All three of them grunted as they pulled me closer to them. When my feet hit the ground, they surrounded me and began to chant. The brightest light is ever seen engulfed us and when it disappeared it plunged us into absolute darkness and silence. *** “Brie? Aubrey!?”

he said and I burst out laughing. " Ok... CooL. " I said bye to her and she left. I came back and waited in front of her room. I wanted to knock but didn't do it.
