Deliah has never been an ordinary girl ever since she was born, nor had she ever had a real family since being dumped at an orphanage at the age of two. She'd been to many different families but they all rejected her and sent her back after finding out about one important detail. She had wings...yes, wings, like a bird. Or an Angel. Depends on how you look at it.
For the majority of her young life ,she'd always assumed that the reason that her birth parents had left her in this god-forsaken place - that she was forced to call her 'home' - was due to her wings and unusual abilities. But could there be something deeper, a more sinister reason for her abandonment?

REVEALED
Night has always been alone. Abandoned at birth and raised in an orphanage, he learned to live with the pain of being forgotten. Though the caretakers were kind, their warmth never seemed to reach him, and school was even worse-a place where bullies thrived, and no one cared enough to help. The weight of loneliness became unbearable, pushing him to run away. But on that fateful night, just as he thought it was all over, a mysterious being saved him from the brink of death. The next morning, Night woke up, confused and shaken. Had he really survived? Or was something else at play? His world turned upside down when a new student transferred to his class-someone who looked exactly like him. Light, the new student, was the opposite of Night. Warm, kind, and strangely familiar, he seemed to know more about Night than he let on. As Light walked into his life, things began to change. The bullies who tormented Night suddenly hesitated, and for the first time, someone stood up for him. But there was something unnatural about Light-something that defied reason. As Night's past unravels and the truth behind Light's existence comes to light, he will have to confront the questions he never dared to ask. He will have to ask questions for the truth to be revealed. Who is Light? Why does he know Night so well? And why, for the first time in his life, does Night feel like he truly belongs?
Shadows of the Forsaken
Ever since she could remember, the experiments had been part of her life. As a child, they were harmless-just puzzles and strange potions given to her by the woman she called Mother. Back then, she believed it was all a game, a way to make her smarter, stronger. But as she grew, the tests changed. They became invasive. Painful. Each experiment carved new scars into her skin and left her mind tangled in unanswered questions. The woman she once trusted had become a stranger, her warmth replaced by cold calculation. And then the voices started. A shadow lurked within her, whispering, clawing at the edges of her sanity. She wasn't alone in her own body-something else had been forced inside her. Something ancient. Something hungry. Now, she's free... but for how long? With the past chasing her and the monster inside threatening to take control, she's left with one question: Was she ever meant to survive, or was she only meant to become something else?

But instead, my life turned out to be the opposite of normal. And so it was for Chiara, Blake, Jake, Rowan, Nova, and Dijon. To tell our story, we need to go all the way back to the beginning. Before we were even born. It all started 30 years ago. April 5, 2003. a class got into an accident and when the survivors woke up, they realized something was wrong. they got powers , they got taken by scientist who started calling them the hollows. It took almost a month before they were rescued by Mr. Knight, they got taken to a secret place where they could live peacefully. that's a lie, one of the students wanted revenge and not stay hidden, so the group seperated. Every year another person got powers, and so, the search continued. But there was always one question on mr. Knight mind: Why 12 children the first time, and only one per year after that? And one thing was for sure: whenever someone gained powers, they had to give something up in return. It was never a choice. It was just the way it was. So, now that I've explained a bit about how this all started, let's fast forward to the present. It's now 2033. Mr. Knight has found 19 children, and Mr. Douglas, the leader of the other group, has found 10. That means... the 30th child is out there somewhere. Who will it be? And one more thing before I go-welcome to the world of Dark Light.
