When The Night Falls Novels & Stories

He continued to pull me further away from the hospital until we found a small park just close by. There was a blanket spread out over the grass under a huge tree with a bag on it. "Surprise," he said, "I know it's not much but I can't exactly take you anywhere far from the hospital considering your condition," he said sheepishly as we both sat down. "It's still perfect," I answered. "I really missed the Sun," I smiled. "Anything is seriously better than being stuck in that hospital room." Nick chuckled, "I thought you'd say something like that. Hence I made it even perfect by getting you this," he said and removed the whole Fallen boxset from the bag.

I wrap a towel around my body to brush my teeth before washing my face and hanging the towel up to dry, I love nights where I'm home alone. I get to sleep however I want, which means I get to walk my naked ass across my room and crawl under my cool sheets. It only takes a minute for me to fall into oblivion, the weight of everything I've found out weighing me down.

" I was hoping if you would be free this weekend for a hang-out" "Um, not sure, but I will see if I will be chance". " Ok, can I get your contact to remind you?". "Ok". they exchange numbers.

A large mirror appeared in front of me. I was pinned in a hidden corner behind it. The sounds started quickly. Two figures tumbled onto the bed. Serena tore open Ethan's white shirt. "Come on, let me see if you still have those abs. I've been dying for this." Ethan glanced at me through the mirror, then turned back to Serena. "You know I'm not Caleb. You never give me much time.

By the time night fell completely, he looked terrible. Even in the dim streetlight, I could see he was swaying slightly. His shoulders were hunched. His head was bowed. But he didn’t leave. “I’m going to bed,” Maya said around eleven. “Are you coming?” “Soon.” She gave me a long look but didn’t argue.

Afterwards I decide to go back upstairs and rest for the remainder of the evening. Night falls, and with it a thunderstorm stirs up. Lightening cracks and for some reason outside of my bedroom, I swear I see sinister red eyes peering in at me. Feel like it must be the exhaustion of the day. I close the blinds, turn on N*****x. I feel dread again as a precaution. I make sure the house is locked up with the deadbolts he installed. I also lock my room to make sure I am extra safe. I snuggle up with a blanket and put on the TV. I change my mind about N*****x and put on “Discovery of Witches” on A****n Prime. Wishing I could find a man like Matthew.

Together, they were able to contain the power that threatened to destroy everyone and everything," he paused for a moment before continuing.
