Zaria Dove A Light of Hope
"This place isn't a fresh start. It's best if we leave as soon as possible!" I replied, even though I knew Kai was joking.But his words triggered a memory. "Kai, you're a genius!" I stared into his eyes as I shook him hard by his shoulders."If you say so!" He shrugged.I sprinted towards the hut that held the trunk with three cogwheel slots.I took out the artifact from my pocket, the one my mother had given me, and placed it into the slot.All I had to do was insert it and press, and the trunk unlocked and the top opened gently on its own.Inside the trunk, there was a pile of hay."Who locks up the hay like this?" Kai asked. "Is this the golden haystack? The one made by the great Rumpelstiltskin?" he added."The great what?" Jennifer looked at him with confusion."It's from that story we heard as kids where the..." Before he could continue, he noticed the anger building up within her gaze and decided to stay silent adding "Never mind!"When I removed the hay from inside the trunk,
Zaria Dove Preparation
In the other flash drive, we found out that the failed subjects prior to the final release of the virus were forcibly placed in a separate prison. These subjects, known as creepers, were kept in a lab alongside the failed virus. This virus was known to be the most dangerous and effective, capable of spreading through mere contact. During a nuclear attack, the tube containing the remaining virus exploded, leading to an increase in the number of creepers. Now I understood why the creepers were pursuing us. It wasn't because they craved our flesh or blood; they weren't cannibals. They sought revenge and harbored hatred towards us for what a human had done to them. As time passed, Asher grew to despise both William and himself for their brutal actions. He made the decision to escape with Veronica, but William had eyes everywhere. Following William's plan, Asher unknowingly consumed coffee spiked with sleeping pills and found himself imprisoned in the research facility where these i
Zaria Dove Betrayal
I quickly tied my hair up in a ponytail and scanned the area for Enzo, but he was nowhere to be found, which made me uneasy.I inquired with others and discovered that he was on the wall, keeping a watch and possibly attempting to avoid me.I discovered him standing on the towering wall of one of the defense towers, a perfect vantage point to oversee the vast expanse where the creepers' attack was expected. The moon cast a gentle glow over the city, while the hum of machinery and the distant murmurs of soldiers preparing for war filled the air.Climbing the steps of the tower, I found him standing at the edge, his gaze lost in the intricate lights of the city.My heart ached as I saw the worry etched on his face. As I approached, the soft sound of my footsteps interrupted his thoughts, and he turned to meet my gaze.In the moonlight, his eyes revealed an unspoken fear of losing me in the upcoming battle.Without saying a word, I took his hand and guided him to a quieter corner of the
Zaria Dove Clones of War
“I understand!” I exclaimed, looking into her eyes. I pulled my hair back into a ponytail, recalling his touch, his fingers in my hair, as my focus swiftly shifted to the soldiers gathering in the center of the city. Our anticipation continued to grow. The moon hung low in the sky, casting a strange glow over the walls of the Ferric Burg. The air was heavy with tension. The warriors were armed with a mix of firearms and close combat weapons. One group of guards protected the city, while another distributed provisions and clothing to the refugees. Some were stationed at the towers and walls, while the rest of us prepared for battle. The once lively city now stood as a hauntingly well-designed structure, with the darkness of death lurking within its walls. Caleb’s men stood watch on the wall. Among the fighters, there was an unsettling restlessness, a blend of fear and determination flickering in their eyes. Some clutched their firearms tightly, while others tightened their grip
Zaria Dove Tighter Grip
Soldiers returned to the headquarters, cheering and shouting in celebration. I couldn't help but smile, feeling glad to see them happy after constantly being consumed by thoughts of battle. However, our relief was short-lived as Caleb came running toward the city. I asked him what had happened, and he caught his breath before explaining everything. "They left us tied up with a wounded soldier. When we woke up, I asked him what happened, and he told me that one of them cut open a wound on his palm and pressed it against his own wound. This caused a strange burning sensation to spread throughout his body, as if someone had sprinkled chili on his wounds. Then, he suddenly went blind right in front of us." "By the time we tried to escape, he had transformed into a creeper and his behavior completely changed. He was incredibly fast, and we couldn't catch him. Unfortunately, he managed to bite another soldier before making his escape. We knew that coming into contact with him could
Zaria Dove Small Victories
I don't know why, but I feel an overwhelming need to protect him.It's like he's the only thing that truly matters to me.I lowered my gaze and walked out of the door."This is how you're going to respond to me after everything?" He followed me, his confusion evident.I quickly strode toward headquarters, but as we reached the city square, he suddenly grabbed my wrist and spun me around.
Zaria Dove Infection
Smiles adorned every face, lifting the weight of the coming battle for a while and replacing it with a great sense of trust and the comforting embrace of a newfound family. The night was filled with laughter and the sharing of stories, a small break from the approaching darkness of war. As they readied themselves to confront whatever tomorrow may bring, they found solace in each other's company, knowing that they were not alone in this unsettling journey. In the laboratory, Veronica presented me with some test results that flew right over my head. However, her explanation revealed that there was no cure for this virus. The monitor remained connected to the infected individual, who still slumbered peacefully. I noticed a torn piece of cloth in his hand, which he had likely ripped from someone or something. Curiosity got the better of me, and I reached out to remove the piece of cloth from his hand when Veronica suddenly exclaimed, "Wait!" Startled, I turned to look at her. "Plea
Zaria Dove Darkened Skies
Unconsciousness engulfed me, accompanied by the most intense nausea. My stomach churned and bubbled, producing unsettling sounds. When I finally woke up, I vomited in whichever direction my face turned. As I regained my senses, I found myself in the observatory, surrounded by Kai, Enzo, and Veronica. "What the hell just happened?" I questioned, confused. "I was supposed to be dead," I added. "We ran a test and it turns out you've been injected with the same virus that runs through a creeper's body. The symptoms usually appear within 5 minutes, but you seem unaffected!" she explained. "Maybe I'm immune," I shrugged, trying to make sense of it all. Veronica, however, had a different opinion "I thought so too, but I've noticed changes in the color and flow of your blood. I need to compare your previous blood sample with your latest blood sample," She also collected a sample of my bone marrow for further analysis. To help me regain my strength, she offered me a glass of juice. A
