OutBreak Chapter Eight
The darkness closed around them, for Rex sat upon the frozen earth, his eyes unfocused and lost in a daze of victory. The tension finally receded, leaving raw exhaustion creeping in to settle into the very bones. Around him came others quietly, each face glowing in the faint light from their dwindling campfire. Amara's small hand clasped his-a warm grounding presence amidst the turbulence. But his observation was on the newly arrived people who had gained them the day's battle from Cyrus.Before him stood two figures, strangers until this night, but allies in every respect of the word: Kai and Sophie. They had been hardened and wary enough, bearing the marks, so familiar, of those who survived, but their stance was of something more than that, some kind of look that spelled secrets well-guarded as the lives around them.Kai spoke first, his voice low and clear. "I tracked Cyrus for weeks. This was more than just some bandit," he said, his eyes holding onto Rex's. "It was part of somet

OutBreak Chapter Seven
The flickering oil lamps cast shadows like phantoms on the shelter walls as Rex lay on the cot, his brain in a turmoil. He felt hardly heavy with his bone-wearying sleep for the chaos of the day kept him awake. Adrenaline that rushed through him while he fought off the bandits ebbed and receded into some vague unease.Just as he suddenly sat upright, a terrific crash shook the exterior. With a start, Rex had his heart racing. Next to him, Amara stirred slightly, furrowing her brow in worry."What just happened?" she whispered, gazing up at him with wide, frightened eyes."I do not know," Rex shot back quietly but urgently as he flung aside the tattered thin blanket covering him, swinging his legs off the bed. "I will look.".As he stood, Lucas leapt from his makeshift bed, his face a mix of fear and resolve. "I'll go with you," he said, grabbing a rusty baseball bat that had become their weapon of choice. "We can't take any chances.""No," Rex insisted, his gaze hardening. "You stay h

OutBreak Chapter Six
**Rex** Rex lay on the makeshift cot, exhaustion settling into his bones after the events of the day. His adrenaline was wearing off, adding depth to the fatigue in his bones. As he tried to find a semblance of rest, Elena drifted into his mind. She was a saving grace, but there was something about her that bothered him.Rex couldn't help but feel that Elena was concealing more than she had revealed. She had almost miraculously appeared at the right time, and besides, her fighting skill almost bordered on the supernatural. His experience with the apocalypse had gotten him wary of appearances, and this place where Elena was made him feel like another layer in some complex web involving survival and deceit.In the darkness of the hideaway, Rex tried piecing together a puzzle. Elena had been on the bandits' tail for days until she found them just at that moment, when they were about to close in on him and Amara. Coincidence or big scheme? A Elena in the background, manipulating strings,

OutBreak Chapter Five
"Lead the way," I said. We rode off into darkness, leaving the bodies of the bandits to whatever would eventually find them. Elena led the way through the barren landscape, and the ghostly shadows of the moon cast upon the ruins of the world. The roads were hazardous, and every rustle the wind carried seemed to hold more danger. The deeper we walked, the more I realized Elena navigated the path through the field. Her strides were calculated and purposeful, her turns cautious, as if she knew every evil threat hiding in the dark.Behind me, Amara sat silent, the dagger clutched tightly in her hand. I could feel the fear in her and attempted a reassuring smile. My face must have reflected more exhaustion than confidence, though. Scarcely had we fled the bandits, the unyielding pursuit putting all three of us on edge. Most of the time, Lucas had remained silent, and yet his mind was a thousand miles away. The artificial joviality of this man now changed into a resolute grimness. From the

OutBreak Chapter Four
As we walked through the trees—the sun low in the sky now—Amara began to fall behind. Her feet dragged with exhaustion. I slowed and walked beside her. "You holding up okay?" I asked, low. She cast a look at me, a faint smile pulling at her mouth. "I'm fine," she said. "Just… tired. It's been a long day.""Tell me about it," I said, trying to lighten the mood and slice through some of the tension in my voice. My brain wasn't paying any heed to my attempt at humor, though, skipping merrily away on all the things that could go horribly wrong in the coming hours. Amara didn't say anything for a moment. She watched Lucas, who strode a few feet ahead of us, head hung low and eyes cast down. "You think he's telling the truth?" she whispered.I turned to Lucas and considered her question. "I think he is," I said slowly. "But that doesn't mean he's told us everything." Amara nodded, apparently satisfied with my response. We walked a bit in silence before she spoke again. "You're different fro

OutBreak Chapter Three
The pale light of dawn graying the world awoke me from my restless sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, Sara would appear. Her face haunted me, her image dissolving into the darkness of my mind, ever ghostly, beyond my grasp. That fragile night's peace had only served to remind me of my solitude, and the heavy silence was broken by the moaning of the undead—an uncomfortably familiar lullaby.I knew today was the day I needed to leave the safety of this temporary refuge. The small fortified house had served its purpose, but staying here any longer was a death sentence. Somewhere in this growing wasteland that used to be our world lay the base where Sara had been taken. I was determined to find it. I stuffed my pack full, my mind a jumble of strategy and gnawing anxiety regarding treading into unknown territory. The streets outside were a minefield: ruined homes, burned-out cars, and crumbling roads filled with both dead and living who, in their desperation, had turned monstrous. I knew
