Belinda Blinked Novels & Stories

Randal said before turning and disappearing back into the darkness. I took a deep breath and turned to face Liliana. She stood awkwardly, her body trembling slightly, her eyes scanning the darkness around us. "Move!" I barked impatiently. Liliana flinched, then hesitantly started following my steps. I walked ahead, not caring if she could keep up. I had no intention of playing the gentleman. Our footsteps crunched over the rocky ground, the distant sound of a rushing river filling the air. The forest around us felt eerily quiet, with only the whisper of the wind in the trees.

Clang! The railing shook violently. It was bending and on the verge of breaking. Just as disaster loomed, my engine finally roared to life. I slammed the gas pedal, and the car dashed forward, breaking free from the crushing pressure. Upon seeing this, Gabriel’s face twisted with panic. He stomped the brake repeatedly before finally managing to stop his car. However, as his wheels screeched to a halt, he ran over a shard of broken glass that flew up and embedded itself deep in my thigh. I gritted my teeth as pain shot through me.

Why would a blind man choose something so visual? Unless he remembers. Unless he refuses to let the dark win. I don’t know how long I stand there. Then— “What are you doing here?” The voice slices through the silence. Low. Calm. Controlled. I spin around. Desmond Blackwood stands near the door. My heart nearly stops. I don’t hear it open. I don’t hear him move. He stands tall in a perfectly tailored charcoal suit. His white cane, detailed with subtle gold swirls, rests in his left hand. Dark lenses shield his eyes, his expression unreadable.

‘Obviously because you’re in this one,’ she says, and we all laugh at Hailey’s perfect answer. ‘Are you coming inside? I’ll get Martin to make us some non-alcoholic drinks,’ Ace says, staring at Hailey, amused. In the penthouse, Belinda is dusting ornaments and trying to steady her breathing. ‘Are you okay Belinda?’ I ask. She immediately blushes and pats her hair down, which is strangely out of place. ‘Oh, of course. I’m fine, Miss Summers. You know me just frolicking around, cleaning,’ she says, in a higher-than-normal tone.

Once she returns, he'd tell her how he felt about her. "Let's begin" he said with determination. Nimue smiled and began her incantations. She sprayed some incest in the air and said some words that he couldn't decipher the meaning. He stopped paying attention to her and had his eyes glued to the mirror while he focused his thoughts on Bellona as per Nimue's instructions. After a while, he felt his environment becoming very still and suddenly, Bellona appeared in the mirror. ************ Bellona woke up with a severe headache. She couldn't explain what happened but all she could remember was Zephyr kissing her. After that, her mind went blank.

The worry in her eyes grew heavier, and her tears appeared whenever she looked at me. It felt as if she wanted to make up for everything she had done. She stayed by my side and handled everything herself. I would have been moved in the past. It was different now. I thought everything she did was meaningless. As she fixed the sheets, I whispered, “You do not have to do this. If you want me to have no regrets, give me the divorce certificate. I said I would wait, but sometimes my body is no longer in my control.” Jaime froze. She turned toward me with a forced smile. “What nonsense are you talking about? You won’t die so easily.”

She'd rather be back in California in her small room, laying in bed and daydreaming about how her life would've been if she haven't had this stupid disease that left her in darkness forever. Bonnie missed her mother, hell she even misses her bastard of a father that left when she was three. She missed her dog, Egg. Oh I hope he's okay. She also missed her annoying best friend Becca. Her heart clenched as tears begin to run down her face. She sniffed taking a deep breath and wiped the tears but it was no use because more came running down. She gave up and let them fall. How was she going to escape this place if she was blind?

I walked out of the room, note in hand, and spotted Anna just coming around the corner with a cup of coffee in one hand and a clipboard in the other. I waited next to the door and as she approached and noticed me, her face that was once stern and seemingly uncaring grew worried as she asked, "Nathan what's wrong?" When I didn't answer immediately she immediately assumed the worse and asked, "Did... did he reject you?" I looked at her with widened eyes at that and shook my head no before answering her previous question, "Anna I don't think he can see." I said my voice but a mere whisper. When she gave me a questioning look, I handed her the note that she read slowly before giving me a look of

Belinda looks up at me, hopeful, and I can’t help smiling down at her. “Oh, I think I can do that. At least if Bells is planning to be there.” She grins back up at me. “The Moon Goddess must really like you idiots. This is a good one.”
