Zaria Dove Eruption
I fought with all my might, and when they finally realized that I wasn't an easy target. One of the women among them crouched down like a wild animal, and the rest followed her suit, they all started howling. Their howls created a chilling symphony that pierced through my ears, driving me to the brink of insanity. In a desperate attempt to overpower me, two of them caught me off guard and attacked me from behind, grabbing hold of me. One of them pulled at my leg, causing me to crash to the ground, completely defenseless. As one of them let out a howl right into my ear, another tried to yank me by my clothes. One of them forced himself on me, and I couldn't even scream for help. But just when I thought it was all over, the one on top of me was suddenly shot down. The others stood up and hissed in the opposite direction, and I saw a figure in uniform. "Get back!" a woman's voice commanded. I stepped back and saw that it was a flamethrower in her hands. She burned every single
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

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
