When Darkness Holds Light Novels & Stories

The city took her back without comment, breath turning white, streetlights flickering on like constellations she hadn’t asked for but accepted anyway. Somewhere inside her, the candlelight from the morning still held, steady and warm, untouched by performance, carrying her forward as the day finally let go. Her boots found their rhythm on the concrete, every step a small promise to herself. The world spun, indifferent and wild, but for the first time in a while, she spun with it—unafraid, unmasked, and just a little bit luminous.

Chapter 1: Dysfunctional family. The darkness is nothing more than a test that God gives us, many times to overcome things and learn from it, but in the end we all carry that darkness in our hearts, we just have to decide whether to expel it or let it dwell within you. Charlotte is a girl who has been in the dark since she was born, her parents were shitty to her, she was beaten and mistreated unjustifiably simply because her parents wanted it that way, but to understand a little of this story we must return to the past.

I could hear someone chuckling but it wasn't Rowan, it was Lucas, Rowan's brother. ‘’I’m Lucas’’ he brought his hand forward for me to shake. ‘’Leah, nice to meet you but I’m in a hurry.’’ ‘’Sure, pleasure’s all mine’’ ‘’What the fuck is going on here?’’, and here comes the wolf who was hiding in the lamb’s clothes, glaring at where my hand was still in his brother’s. ‘’Does it look like we are fucking each other? It's a handshake’’, I replied, with sarcasm of course.

That room is definitely cursed and I don't have the courage to open it. I opened the refrigerator and morning's frozen breakfast gawked back at me. I thought I would eat it for dinner but Catherina ordered us dinner as it was late due to rain. I grabbed a water bottle for the night and kept the lights on. I don't like darkness, I am scared of it. My heart thuds whenever I see the dark corner. It feels like he is staring at me. The man who has snatched the light from my life, it feels like he is here or maybe I am so paranoid that my mind creates an illusion.

Rachel, Ryder, and Carrie gathered around me, their expressions mixing disbelief with joy, relief flooding the space between us. “We did it,” Rachel whispered, her voice small but carrying weight. “Yes, we did,” I replied, gripping her shoulder to steady myself. “Together.” In that moment of quiet, under the watchful gaze of the moon, we understood the truth—darkness could only exist if we let it. And as long as we stood united, we could summon the light that would always drive it away. “Are you all okay?” I asked, scanning their faces. Carrie’s eyes sparkled with resilience; Ryder’s usual bravado now mingled with a softer, contemplative aura; and Rachel, despite her exhaustion, glowed with

She doubted that some eleventh-hour miracle would save her tonight. Christophe reappeared and shed his toweling robe in an untidy heap on the floor. He looked at her, blazing all-male satisfaction, and Lara shrank under the sheet. He stood half in shadow, half in light, the long, muscular planes of his golden body a glorious vision of rampant masculinity, and Lara felt her own hunger stirring, insidious as a secret invader.

The man's hand on my arm immediately fell. They stepped back but stopped when continuous thunders echoed in the sea. I got startled too, but I stood still on my position and fixed my eyes on the man in front. He's just standing there, no weapons, and eyes glowing in the midst of darkness. He didn't just look dangerous. He looked lethal. The look in his eyes screamed bloodshed. The thought of what he could do in anger made me shiver.

I have also learned how they refer to each other. A person named Night is a twilight lyceum; this means protectors of the twilight and carries the virus to create other lyceums. Chanco means protectors of the night. The twilight is what they call the shadow realm. The shadow realm is the term given to the plane between day and night; it is a world within itself. The only way I can explain it is a dimension just outside of our reality.

He once basked on the darkness, but her mother offered him such a tiny light that as the passing days gone by it spreads until it totally devoured the darkness. That light opened the door for him and showed him the wonderment of it all. That light pulled him away from the darkness that once consumed him. And he too, he wants to spread that light with the luminous. He wants to show to it's people that hope is still there; hope that they will live once again in harmony and peacefulness. Hope that will give them strength no to lost courage. He is dreading the day; the day that he will freed Luminous from these darkness accomplices. So near to grasp it but so far to uphold it.

And this is how the last story about Light and Darkness that I wanted to present to you ends. It was certainly an extraordinary journey, showing different stories, but at the same time touching the same topic - can two such opposing poles as Light and Darkness connect at some point? I'll leave it to your own choice, but one thing is for sure - as Miyuki said in Book 4, wanting to stop the battle between vampires and wizards - Light and Darkness certainly couldn't exist without each other. If there was only Light but no Darkness, what would be its meaning? Likewise, if there was only Darkness in the world, wouldn't its existence be pointless without trying to "devour" the Light?
