Love The Darkness

Sweden {17}

Rubens POV

Its been a few hours since Gal and Natasha left to go on city patrol. The guard that roughed me up had been coming into the room and giving us scrap food, like stale bread and water. We only get a few shot glasses of blood a day, just our keep our bodies strong. Its honestly been hell, Oscar has bee restless and is craving our parents, Noa's sickness has only just begun to wear thin and I'm starting to get more angry by the day. I swear if I get hold of any type of sharp object, I cant guarantee anyone's safety. The leader and his wife who we now know as Rodrick and Annabeth had been visiting frequently, mainly to get information but other than that nothing has changed really.

I don't know how close our parents are, but I can just sense that they'll be here soon and that thought and feeling is keeping me strong.

"Ruben, are you awake?" Noa whispered in hopes not to wake Oscar up. I hummed in response and she got up and sat at the foot of my bed.
"It's crazy isn't it?" Noa said as she looked out to the moon and I look at her side profile.
"What's crazy?"
"That even the strongest people we know have hit rock bottom before." Noa whispered but I heard her, I tilt my head in confusion and Noa sighed.
"Mom grew up being hated, she ran from hate, it followed her wherever she went. She got tired of all the pain and tried to end it, she couldn't because she's immortal. She fucking begged the Cleansers to kill her, BEGGED Ruben, but when I look at her now...all I see is everything I want to be." Noa vented out and I sat beside her rather than at my headboard.

"I want to be able to find my way through the dark with no light at hand. I want the love that our parents have and I want the friends that will always be there. No matter how much I try to make things positive, they—they just stay dark and gloomy. Maybe that's because of the way I was born. Maybe I'm destined to be sad for eternity." Noa finished and tears were falling down her face. I pulled her in for a hug and she laid down in my lap as I caressed her hair.

"Noa, there's always gonna be sadness in life, as well as anger, hate, disappointment and everything in between. The only reason mom got better was because she learned to love herself before anyone else, she accepted herself before anyone else did and that was what kept her strong. You, Noa are so fucking strong and you have no clue, I don't look up to our parents because I look up to the fighter that is Noa Andrea Cabello Jauregui, the girl that wishes for all the negativity in the world to just disappear. I will always be here for you not only as a friend but as your fucking brother...I love you sis and I'll be here to be your light in the darkest of times. I promise." I say as tears flowed freely down both our faces and together we cried.

(I haven't cried in a long time since August last year to be exact and writing this reared me up. Girls, get yourself a damn Ruben)

Daytime came a lot more faster than I expected and when I woke up I had Noa sleeping on my thigh and Oscar on my chest. In these circumstances, I've never felt more content in my life.

Gal's POV

I received word that some human girl has been searching for me around town so I left post and went to find the girl. The last thing I expected was the girl to give me a letter and just leave. But what was on the letter was what made me smile.

Gal,

Thank you so much for everything you've done for my kids. I really can't thank you enough in fact but that's not the reason I'm writing. I'm writing to tell you to be ready. I need you to make sure the guards on the beach are thinner than usual and have Natasha with the kids because we are coming, are we aren't fucking around.

I'll see you when I'll see you. In the envelope in another message but for the kids, so get that to them.

From, Lauren Michelle Cabello Jauregui.
P.S. Love saying that now :)

Please Read below sorta important

^my little intro to the authors note 😁

Anyway, I'm sorry for the short chapter but this is a little build up for the rescue,,THIS BOOK ONLY HAS TWO MORE CHAPTERS LEFT!!!

Crazy to think that I manage to finish Scared Of The Light let alone a damn sequel because God knows I can stick to one damn book, which I can't. The reason I've had slow ass updates is because I've been busy writing a Camren story which is one I'm taking my time on so yeah....

The story that I'm writing is a type of Fast and Furious remake and it's something that I've really been enjoying writing so I'm so excited for when I release it. Plus it's chapters are longer than any other book I have. So if you want to see that let me know because if so I may or may not release the Prologue that I have ready.
