Chapter ThreeThe Woman From His PastThe vehicle stopped near my former home, and my heart immediately began to pound.The street was almost unrecognizable.Abandoned vehicles blocked the road, smoke rose from several burning houses, and terrified people ran in every direction. Somewhere nearby, a woman screamed for help, but nobody stopped to answer her.The infected were everywhere.I gripped the edge of my seat, struggling to control my fear. “Stay close to us” Majesty’s guards commander instructed me as he opened the door. “We don’t have much time.”I nodded and climbed out.My eyes immediately searched for our house.

Why? What happened?”He dragged a hand over his face before looking at me.“Things are getting worse, Kate.”I stared at him.“What things?”“The government has issued another warning.
