🏆 Round 1 Winner - OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 🏆

She falls.

One moment, she's weightless, bathed in light, belonging to the sky itself. The next, she is plummeting, her wings failing, the world rushing up to meet her. And when she lands, it is not on stone or earth, but in the arms of a boy with kind eyes and a heartbeat steady enough to tether her to the world.

Silas never believed in miracles. He never expected one to fall straight into his arms. But when Elya crashes into his life-lost, otherworldly, and achingly human in the way she looks at the world-he knows he can't let her go.

As the days slip into weeks, Silas teaches her how to live as a human. Elya teaches him how to love like one.

But the sky is calling her home. And Silas is only mortal.

Love was never meant to be enough to hold back heaven.

Was it?

37 parts Complete Mature
The beautiful angel walks up to me and looks at me lovingly. A year ago, I would have been disgusted but now his gaze was doing things to me, things I didn't want, FEELINGS I wasn't ready for. My knees buckle under the gaze of his beautiful golden eyes. He smiles and at this point, he's standing right in front of me, so close he could probably hear my heart beating so erratically in my chest. Thump-thump He lifts his hand and touches my cheek oh so softly, his thumb brushing against my jawline. I let out a breath at the amazing feeling, Thump THUMP sparks flying through my skin. He smells like honey. He leans in my ear THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP and whispers, "Don't you even think about rejecting me". I look at him in shock, how is this being of goodness, of grace, looking at me with an emotion so rare for his kind to look at my kind with.... LOVE. He smirks and blushes at my reaction to him and his eyes brighten in delight, his eyes then trail to my lips, and his thumb brushes across them, I let out a shudder. "You are mine and I am yours forever, you are my destiny" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Twin schools, the school for angels, and the school for ravagers have been founded to train future generations to kill demons. Angels run heaven and hell while ravagers hunt demons. What happens when a good-natured angel boy falls in love with a ravager despite her rash nature?

Jenny had lost herself in him first. And Valen had fallen in love after. But more than that. Much more. She was light, he was shadow. But when they touched, the boundaries blurred, like the sea caressing the moon without ever truly belonging to it. Jenny was an angel, but no one knew angels could tremble. She thought she was a tangled mess of fears and insecurities wrapped in a body too fragile to carry the weight of the world. She never felt enough. Never. But in Valen's eyes, she was perfect. She was the full moon, the reflection of light on water, the last breath before a kiss. And he was terrified of her, because he was none of that. He was afraid of dirtying her, of tearing her wings. Jenny deserved someone who wasn't broken inside. But she didn't want someone else. She wanted him. Valen was broken, not in the way something can get dirty and be washed clean, but in the way something shatters inside and never comes back the same. He never let anyone truly look at him, no one could. But Jenny could. Jenny looked at him as if she saw him whole. As if she didn't notice all the pieces missing from him. Or maybe she did, but it just didn't matter. Valen had always been too aware of his own darkness to get close to someone else's light. But Jenny settled on him like the moon on the ocean, lighting him up without knowing she was illuminating a place no one had ever dared to look. Valen let her. He let her innocence get caught in his sharp edges, let her hands brush against his scars as if she wasn't afraid of cutting herself. Jenny had lost herself in him, but Valen had found himself in Jenny. But he couldn't allow it. In Valen's arms, amidst all that chaos, Jenny found peace. With Valen, she didn't have to prove anything. She didn't have to be anything more than she was. But how do you escape from someone who's already home?

38 parts Complete Mature

Language: English [COMPLETED] Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny. Where sometimes, wrong choices takes us to the right places. Why is it that the world is small, and life is short. Why is it so hard to wish for the person whom you loved to just stay. I wished for a countless time while I was interrogated, hoping my wishes from Him will be permitted. Just to find out I'd be the only one to hold on the last memory for a thousand years. The mind may forget, but the heart will not. Years may have passed but the fire is still lit." #25 - heavenly #136 - drama filled Note: This is the first story I've ever written. Created: September 14, 2020 Completed: September 23, 2020
