~Night is forever.~
---
In a world with endless night, Sparrow, a sixteen year-old girl with an affinity for the thievery, lives in a world where the sun has disappeared centuries ago. The people of this world have adapted to the never-ending darkness, developing unique biological traits and lifestyles to survive, with their own customs and traditions. 
She stumbles upon a secret society that calls themselves Lightfall, claiming to know the truth about the vanished sun, and she embarks on a dangerous journey into the unknown, seeking to uncover the truth and bring back the light.

He rakes a hand through his hair. I notice a new scar on his jaw, pale blue against the darker rest. "They call themselves 'Lightfall'."

"Lightfall? How absurd." I laugh. The sun, if there had been a sun to begin with, had disappeared thousands of generations ago, and the people living on planet Terra had evolved (or hadn't, depending on different beliefs) with new 'abilities', like night vision, blending in with shadows, and the star patterns on our skin that could glow at will. I honestly didn't really care what had actually happened, more focused on the present than the past. "Everyone knows the sun is gone, or never existed."

Hunter laughs. "I assure you, it does."

I apologize for all the name changes and cover changes. I can't find anything juuuust right.
Also ignore various plot holes in the story, spelling mistakes, random scene changes, and how the tense might change from present to past. Hopefully I never accidently wrote in future tense, but excuse my lack of editors.
If you're wondering why it says 'Book One' in the title, it's because I'm planning this to be a series if I ever really go hard on finishing the first book.All Rights Reserved

Heart of Sparrow by addison_sweet

[UPDATES ONCE A WEEK] A young girl must rely on her estranged father to help her return an Orisha's heart, but as she taps into its power, she finds herself drawn to its dangerous magic. *** Sparrow Winslow discovers an old picture of her late mother with a crooked businessman. Convinced the man is her biological father, she tracks him down and learns more than she bargains for. Not only is he her father, but a vampire, which means she'll be coming into her fangs any day. But complications arise when he also explains her witchy mother stole the heart of an African goddess, enabling her life. Armed with a reincarnated bestie and a ruggedly strict, but dashing Guardian, Sparrow is forced on the run as every supernatural overlord seeks to take the goddess's heart for themselves. The only way to escape this nightmare is to return what her mother stole...her very heart. But that means Sparrow will have to remain a drab and medicated vampire and relinquish her divinely witch nature to the Orisha. Each time she casts a spell, Sparrow tastes her newfound abilities and it's secretly delicious. It isn't long before she fears becoming just like the monsters who are chasing after her heart. Will she sacrifice her ancient power to restore balance? Or will magic consume her good intentions the same way it did her mother?

Someday - A Short Story by HowlEngel

Life was dull, boring, and mechanical. I’ve always wondered if this would change. If something interesting will happen. I always hoped something interesting will happen. A falling meteor that would destroy half of town, an alien invasion, or even the Apocalypse. Anything, just to relieve me of this monotonous life I lead. “Urgh,” I groaned as I reached over to turn off the alarm clock that sounded like a hundred sirens in the early hours of dawn. The golden sun hasn’t come out to expel the surrounding darkness yet. I figured it would take an hour more or so for the sun to show its shining face, so I decided to eat breakfast and take a bath first. But little did I know that today was the day that my life would change. It was the day I met her. ---------- A short story. Hey guys! This is my first try writing a pure romance story. I hope you'll like it. :D This story will be rarely updated, since I'm busy with school and stuff. So, sorry in advance. ~Just Perfect EDIT: As of 03/29/14 (arranged in this order: dd/mm/yy), this story has deviated from its original "pure romance," into something worth delving deeper into. Quite interesting. And because of this... "something worth delving deeper into," I have decided to continue the story with a PART TWO! Though that will have to wait until after Exile. Or maybe when I get tired of Exile and hope to continue this again. But either way, there WILL be a part two for those who want more zoophilia. Cheers! 03/31/14 (again, in the dd/mm/yy order): Added a simple cover. Will be using this until I am able to draw a better image resembling both of the girl's forms. August 6, 2014: New cover. I like it.

The Shadow #1: The Shadow Has Claws ✓ by Angelbreeze-

REWRITING! ' Why Do You Shun Me When You Have Fallen? Why Do You Shun Me When You Have Fallen? ' _______________________________________________________________________________ An ominous presence stirred as the Sun's final rays slipped below the horizon, casting the land into darkness. Shrouded in mystery and danger, a new power emerged with the onset of twilight. A cascade of purple flames erupted, their fiery tongues reaching out hungrily to consume anything in their path. The air crackled with malice, and an aura of trepidation settled upon all who beheld this spectacle. None were spared from its wrath, for the purple flames spared no one. Amidst this chaos, a shadowy figure materialized, her countenance contorted into a sinister smirk. With teeth bared like a predator, the enigmatic being reveled in her newfound dominance. Her name was whispered in fear and awe-The Shadow. She possessed an arsenal of lethal weapons, her claws gleaming ominously in the dim light. Fear was foreign to her, for she embraced the darkness that enveloped her. Beware, for the arrival of the Night loomed ominously, signaling the demise of the radiant Sun. The world was thrust into an eternal night, where the moon's pale glow held sway. It was a time of survival, a battle for existence against the encroaching darkness. Those who dared to face the challenge were urged to be resilient and determined. The Sunre, a chosen few who dared to resist the Night's dominion, were called upon to stand firm against the relentless onslaught. But it was an arduous task, one that demanded unwavering fortitude. ____________________________________________________________________________

Nocturnal Gale by LiethaS03

"Ow," Dusk complains, picking herself up and brushing her hair out of her eyes. Jason is good, and he's not holding back. "Oh come on," he taunts, "That didn't even hurt." "Easy for you to say," she gripes, stepping up again. She mirrors his raised fists, then ducks a punch and purposely walks into his other one. It knocks her flat on her back. She rolls her eyes at herself and decides to step it up a bit. She heaves herself up and beckons with her hand. Jason raises an eyebrow and faints a punch to the left before coming at her with a vicious right hook. Dusk ducks it and sends her fist crashing into his side. He doubles over. "Not bad," he comments when he gets his breath back. Dusk smirks. "Guess I got a good teacher." "You got Hammerfist, right? He's kinda a jerk, but he gets the job done..." "No, hotshot, I meant you." Boys. His face goes surprised and then he smiles. "Oh. Say...you wanna go get a drink tonight after the stakeout?" ---------------------- Dusk's life is hard, but she's the Weapon, ready for anything. Whether it's fighting the gangs in the alleys, protecting the weak and innocent, or stopping thefts and misdemeanors, she's the guardian of New York City and beyond.

Samantha Ivory has been living a boring average life in an old town with lots of history. That is, until the news of a carnival coming to town ignites new excitement. This carnival promises a night of fun for everyone. There are games, promising rewards, and food that no one has ever seen or tasted before. But what if this carnival isn't what it seems to be? And who are these people that have come into her town? Can Sam figure it out before it's too late, or will she get stuck playing a game she never wanted to play? (Currently completed as of October 2023, and finished editing as of March 2024) *****Excerpt***** Excerpt: Instead of seeing myself standing in front of me, there is somebody else and it's not my brother or anyone I know. A boy no older than me is just standing there, he is wearing a gray shirt with a hole in the shoulder and it has a handful of stains and dirt spots on it. I immediately know he is not from Treegrass. Not only have I never seen him before in my life but everyone in our town always wears nice clean and washed clothes, therefore nobody should be looking like him. The boy has a small cut on his cheek and is thin, a lot thinner than he should be. I look away from him and around at my surroundings, there is no one else here. I regain my composure and look at him again. That's when he says something that makes my blood run cold. "Run."

So Speaks the Ruinous Light || To Herald a Dawn Book 1 by jordynsaelor

[Queer rage as a form of reckoning] [dark one destined to destroy the world] *** As a healer in the Obsidian Castle, One follows a voice into the forest, speaking from the mist. It tells him he's the Destroyer, straight out of prophecy, and that he's not a Night Warrior like the other residents of the castle. Eight years later, One's doing a great job hiding that his magic works like no one else's in the Obsidian Castle. But Perseverance, a Night Warrior who believes One needs redirection to find "proper" romance, makes One's life miserable from sundown to sunup. So One's plan to get Perseverance out of his life is to date his daughter--until she discovers his light magic and turns on him, making him flee into the woods. One has many reasons to despise Perseverance. So when he meets Michael, an expert at light magic, it's really not a question of "if" One will embrace this prophetic Destroyer role and enact vengeance--it's a matter of One having no clue how to control his magic, or take on a castle full of Night Warriors by himself. But with Michael, he's not alone. And with their combined magic, One could summon the dawn itself to carry out revenge. (cover by CBMokedi!)
