Zaria Dove True Face
William handed me a flask of water. I passed it to my father, watching as he drank it with trembling hands. "I've come to rescue you," I whispered, my voice filled with pain.William's handed me a bag containing warm clothes. I dressed my father, just as he had dressed me when I was a child."Come," I said, gently taking his hand. Together, we made our way toward the main exit of the building, ready to leave this place behind.But as we approached the final door, it slid shut, trapping us inside.I turned to face William, realizing that he had intentionally distanced himself from us.Anger welled up within me, and I confronted him. "You knew this would happen!" I accused, my eyes fixed on him. "Why did you let us out of the cage? What do you want from me?"His response was unexpected. "You!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with desperation. "I want you!"I rushed toward him, locking eyes with him. "Look at me," I demanded, my voice filled with a mix of pain and defiance."I am the same
Zaria Dove Doubts and Fears
Kai leaned in close and whispered calmly, "She’s safe, she's in the bunker!" Veronica's eyes were wide with concern as she asked, "How do you feel?" Enzo tried to smile through the pain, but he squirmed as he replied, "Like someone beat the crap out of me." He forced a chuckle, then coughed painfully. As I approached the Education Center, a sinking feeling settled in my stomach. The place was a wreck—shattered glass littered the ground, lights flickered, and the air was thick with dust and tension. We pressed forward, our steps echoing in the silence until we reached the bunker. I pounded on the heavy metal door with all my strength. The door creaked open, and before I could say a word, Lily threw her arms around me. "Thank goodness you're alive!" she cried, her voice trembling. "Zaria?" I heard my mother’s voice calling out, strained and anxious. The bunker was packed with people, making it hard to move, let alone see. I stood on tiptoe, scanning the crowd desperately. "Is that
Zaria Dove Lily's Bloom
Kai's eyes met Enzo's, a mutual respect passing between them. Enzo continued, his tone softer, "Now I understand why you both chose to be brother and sister rather than anything else. You two are just alike."Enzo smiled and reached into his pocket, pulling out a small, delicate ring."This is the only thing I have left of my mother’s. I was going to ask her to marry me, but if I don’t make it out of this, please give it to her for me. Tell her to wear it, even if she marries someone else."Kai's heart ached at the sight of the ring. "Listen, we’re going to be alright," he said, trying to revive the dead hope, but the words were barely out of his mouth when the door burst open with a deafening crash, and people began to flood in.Meanwhile, as we reached the defense center, I turned to Lily, gripping her shoulders firmly. "Lily, I know you're still haunted by the things you didn’t do, but you need to listen to me. Focus on my voice and nothing else. Whatever happens, I’m here. I will
Zaria Dove The Old Bitch
"Where’s Ella?" Kai shouted, his eyes darting around furiously, his fear and urgency written all over his face.Ella came running toward him, concern evident on her face. “Is everything alright?”“William is going to attack! Any minute now, the immortals will come through from everywhere. We need to get you all to safety!” Kai's shout drew everyone’s attention, and panic started to ripple through the crowd.“But we haven’t finished working on the weapons!” Amelia said, her voice trembling.“Haven’t you prepared at least one?” Kai's voice was now filled with fear.“We have,” Amelia replied, finally delivering some good news. “As Zaria demanded, we first prepared a sword, then as many arrows as we could, knowing there might be shooters in your army!”Kai breathed a sigh of relief. “Gather everything you hold dear and everything important for your survival!” he shouted to the crowd.The residents moved quickly, gathering their belongings as the noises grew louder. Suddenly, a loud crash
Zaria Dove Love Amidst War
"Or?" Ella looked at him, her brow furrowed in puzzlement."Or... we could... you know?" Kai dropped to one knee, pulling out the toy ring from his pocket. "Get married? I mean if... you..." His voice shook a little as he watched her reaction, watching her cheeks flush from pale to rosy red.Ella covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes wide. Kai took a deep breath, his voice steadying as he spoke from the heart. "Ella, whenever you are around, everything seems better, every trouble seems smaller, because... with you, I find the courage to fight whatever obstacle comes my way.And since you’ve announced that something so beautiful is about to happen to us, I can’t stop imagining how it would feel to have a small house of our own, with our children, making noise and keeping us awake!"Ella sniggered, tears welling in her eyes. Kai continued, his voice filled with emotion. "So, Ella, would you... be my wife?" He extended the toy ring toward her.Overwhelmed, Ella nodded, too emotional to
Zaria Dove Eyes Full of Fear
When the preparations were complete, the area was a chaotic yet strategic landscape of cover points and firepower. We could only hope it would be enough.Turning back, we regrouped with Jennifer. Before leaving, I issued one final command. "Head to the last battleground," I instructed, my voice firm. "It's an open field—no buildings, no unnecessary cover. You'll be safer there, William wouldn't suspect you all being there."With that, we moved out, hearts steeled for the battles ahead, every step taking us closer to whatever end awaited us.When I reached the hidden city, Jennifer stood behind the machinery, even though she was very brave, I could still see a hint of fear in her eyes. “We have the machines ready,” she said, her voice steady despite the gravity of the situation. I glanced at the massive machine standing before us. The machine was an impressive feat of engineering—a bulky, metallic structure with a series of thrusters and stabilizers extending from its base.It looked li
Zaria Dove Enzo's Exam
Quickly mounting in the vehicle, he turned himself invisible so I wouldn’t go after him, and then he made his way toward the bottom of the island to see what was wrong with the thruster.It appeared that the two of the nozzles had lost their grip on the island.Removing the hood of his vehicle, Enzo acted quickly, tying himself with a safety rope before he reached toward the bottom of the island.The howling wind and the vibrations from the thrusters made it the most difficult journey.He switched on his headlamp, the beam cutting through the dust and smoke, illuminating the problem area.There were two of the nozzles that had lost their grip. The bolts securing them had sheared off under the immense pressure.Enzo's mind raced as he assessed the situation. He knew he had to act fast before the island’s tilt became catastrophic.“Enzo, report your status!” Jim's voice crackled through the communicator.“I’m at the thruster. Two nozzles are loose. I’m going to resecure them manually,”
Zaria Dove Putting the Puzzle Piece back
If they succeeded in destroying it, the island would surely fall down. I grabbed my weapon and sprinted toward the edge of the island, under where the thruster was, firing at the drones as I ran.“Enzo, Veronica, cover me!” I shouted.Together, we fought off the drones, defending the thruster with everything we had.The air was heavy with the smell of burning metal and the sound of explosions.But we held our ground, refusing to let the drones succeed.As the last of the drones were destroyed, the sky began to clear. The flying lab slowed down above us, and it slowly got back and then disappeared.Relief washed over us but we knew this was just the beginning. William’s lab was still a threat, and we had to find a way to bring it down before it could cause any more destruction.The battle for survival was far from over.Finally, the readings indicated that we had achieved a stable speed. The islands were still falling but at a much slower rate. The catastrophic collapse had been preven

Crazy Theory
Ella was lying on the floor in the corner of the room, her face contorted in pain, her hands gripping the sides of the sheet under her. Her breaths came in labored gasps, her body trembling with the effort. Jennifer and a few others stood around her, their faces tight with worry. The air was thick with tension, the sound of Ella’s cries filling the space.Kai rushed to her side, dropping to his knees beside her. He took her hand in his, his heart breaking at the sight of her in so much pain. “I’m here, Ella. I’m right here,” he whispered, his voice thick with emotion.Ella turned her head toward him, her eyes glistening with tears. “Kai,” she gasped, her voice weak but filled with relief. “I…I thought you wouldn’t make it.”“I’m here, love,” he reassured her, squeezing her hand. “I’m not going anywhere.”Jennifer moved closer, her expression serious. “She’s in active labor, Kai. The baby is coming, and we don’t have much time.”Kai nodded, his mind spinning as he tried to focus. He co
What no one expected
As Jennifer struggled to reach Enzo, the tension was visible. When she finally succeeded in connecting with me, her voice brimmed with a mix of joy and nervous energy. “We’re finally connected to the system!” she exclaimed, her excitement spilling through the static of our communication line.A grin spread across my face, and I turned to Kai, who immediately understood what had happened without needing an explanation. My expression said it all.“Enzo?” I called out, trying to connect with him directly. The line was dead silent. My smile vanished as quickly as it had spread, and an uneasy weight settled in my chest. My pulse quickened, each beat echoing in my ears as I glanced nervously at Kai. “He’ll be alright,” he reassured me, his voice steady but strained. Before either of us could take action, a deep, echoing hum filled the air, overpowering even the sound of our racing hearts. The noise was overwhelming, drawing our attention toward the city gates. With the restored power, the
Wrecking Paradise
He pressed himself against the wall, trying to steady his breathing. The ground beneath him groaned, a sharp reminder of the fragile state of the entire building. He couldn’t afford to stop now—not when so much was at stake.Pushing forward, Enzo reached a junction where the stairs split into multiple paths. Consulting his mental map of the city’s layout, he chose the left corridor, knowing it led directly to the control room.As he advanced, the air grew colder, and the flickering lights overhead cast dark shadows.Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his side. Enzo stumbled, clutching his rib as he gasped for breath. He had hit a loose beam that swung down unexpectedly, narrowly missing his head but cutting through his torso.Blood trickled from a small cut, staining his shirt. Ignoring the pain, he pressed on, his strong will fueling his determination.The corridor opened into a vast, open space—the control room. The room was a chaotic mess of shattered consoles, broken screens, and
A Chance of Survival
“No, we can’t retreat!” I shot back, my mind racing. “If we fall back now, we’ll just be leading them to the survivors! Who knows what these things are capable of if they breach the bunker?”The immortal army was unstoppable, their unsettling faces and wide-open mouths still screaming as they marched forward. The situation was dire, and every second felt like we were inching closer to doom. Then, an idea struck me. “We’ll lead them somewhere else instead! Somewhere they won’t follow the others!” Without waiting for a response, I took off running toward the right, motioning for the others to follow.“There are plenty of ruined buildings to the east,” Kai called after me, sprinting to catch up. “We can find cover there, maybe even set a trap!”"Exactly! We just need to buy the rest of the team some time to regroup and bring the right equipment,” I agreed as we bolted toward the Ferric Burg, a place that had once been a bustling district but was now reduced to crumbling ruins after the a
Caught in the Tide
I yelled for everyone to move. "Run!" I shouted, leading the charge as we turned and sprinted away from the impending disaster. But we were too close. The ground shook violently beneath us, the force of the lab’s landing sending a powerful jolt through the battlefield. The shockwave hit us hard, like a giant hand swatting us aside. We flew, bodies tossed into the air like ragdolls, crashing to the ground in a brutal cascade.I groaned, feeling the sharp sting of pain from the fall. My vision blurred for a moment as I pushed myself up, dirt and debris filling the air around me. Many of us survived the impact, but not everyone was so lucky. As I looked around, the grim reality hit me. The number of those who fell, the martyrs—was far greater than the survivors.I pushed myself up from the debris, my body aching as I limped up to my feet. Dust and rubble filled the air, and the sight before me was nothing short of devastating. Those who hadn’t made it halfway to the bunker were crushed,
A Twisted Anomaly
The battlefield was chaos. Screams, explosions, and the endless rain of arrows and bullets filled the air. Bodies fell, and for every enemy I took down, two more seemed to replace them.As soon as Kai entered the control room, Veronica—rushing toward Kai. Her face was pale, eyes wide with panic, clearly overwhelmed by the chaos. She knelt beside him, but he waved her off, his voice hoarse but steady. "I'm not important right now! Get the guns in position, switch their directions, now!"He delivered my message without caring for his own condition.He gripped her shoulders firmly, but not harshly, guiding her to sit down on the seat. His eyes were intense, but his voice softened as he leaned in close, whispering in her ear. "I know this is overwhelming, but you’ve got this. You can do this."Veronica’s hands trembled as she began to adjust the machine gun controls, rotating the turrets to face the incoming enemy forces. It wasn't the first time she was facing a situation of war, but see
An Unseen Threat
"This thing has a heartbeat!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with unease, her eyes fixed on the screen.I felt my stomach knot, the tension rising with every second. "What if it’s a human? Someone innocent?" My voice cracked, panic creeping into my words."No!" she snapped, her gaze darting between readings. "The heartbeat is… off. Abnormal. It's clocking in at 250 beats per minute. No human, even with a severe condition, could sustain that while moving this fast. This... this is something beyond what we’re ready for." Her fingers hovered over the screen, absorbing more data.Then she froze, her eyes widening. "It’s six feet tall, and only an inch from the barrier!" Her voice wavered. "It... it looks like a plane."I leaned closer, trying to make sense of the silhouette on the display. "A plane? But at that size? Who the hell would build a plane so small?" The shape on the screen did resemble an aircraft, but it was no larger than a child’s toy. Something was very, very wrong.Pan
No Time to Grief
“No, Zaria! It all happened right before our eyes,” Kai said, his voice thick with disbelief. The weight of the moment pulled us together in a tight group hug, but the shock left me frozen. How could this be real? Why would anyone kill Bella? She wouldn’t hurt a soul."No..." I whispered, the denial clawing at my throat. "This can't be happening!" My voice broke into a yell. "How could they kill her? How could—" But my words faded, leaving me breathless, my mind spinning as if the very air had been stolen from me.I pulled away from them, my body trembling. “Prepare! Prepare for battle. We’re going to make him pay!” I demanded, wiping my tear-streaked face with the back of my hand. My rage boosting my strength with every second. I nodded, more to myself than anyone else, as the reality of the situation sank in.“Zaria!” Ella’s voice was soft, her steps cautious as she approached, concern evident on her face. But I reached out first, gripping her shoulders, forcing her to look into my
A new discovery
I dropped everything I was doing and bolted after her, my heart racing. Something had to be wrong. Jennifer was tough, not the type to panic easily. I followed her down the winding path to the bunker, the cool, damp air filling my lungs. As we reached the entrance, a crowd of people had gathered, making a path for me to pass through.“Zaria!” A familiar voice rang out. My dad. He stood there, cleaned up and looking far better than the last time I’d seen him, though his face was still covered with worry. “Thank goodness you’re alright,” he said, pulling me into a quick embrace before stepping aside to let Jennifer lead me deeper inside.“This way,” Jennifer urged, her voice low as she guided me toward a dimly lit corner of the bunker. She stopped in front of a large, rusted wheel embedded in the circular wall—a giant mechanism that looked like it belonged to an old bank vault.“I don’t think Veronica knows anything about this,” Jennifer whispered, her gaze fixed on the wheel. “But it’s
