Chapter: Chapter 10: Touch Me Before The Glitch Becomes Our TruthChapter 10: Touch Me Before The Glitch Becomes Our TruthThe government’s official broadcasts repeated like clockwork across every screen and device, their tone calm but firm. “Any reports concerning ‘roamers’ have been thoroughly investigated.No credible evidence links these individuals to criminal activities or public safety threats. Citizens are encouraged to trust verified sources and disregard rumors.”Online, social media posts were flooded with hashtags promoting safety and unity, while any content mentioning roamers was flagged or quietly deleted.Public surveillance cameras claimed occasional technical glitches as explanations for strange images reported by witnesses, and officials insisted these were nothing more than optical illusions or interference.Behind the scenes, neighborhoods whispered stories of disappearances and unexplained incidents, but mainstream news dismissed them as hoaxes or viral misinformation.The government’s narrative carefully framed roamers as dang

Chapter: Chapter 9: Her Kiss Made Me Forget the Blackout SkyChapter 9: Her Kiss Made Me Forget the Blackout SkyThe city had woken up in fragments. Streetlights blinked on as if apologizing for last night’s blackout, traffic signals pulsed back to life, and the hum of electricity returned like a soft heartbeat beneath the urban noise.Aria sat cross - legged on the couch, phone in hand, scrolling through a deluge of notifications: emergency alerts, friends checking in, viral videos of panicked crowds juxtaposed with cheerful selfies of strangers claiming everything was “fine now.”The Wi - Fi was back, though slower than usual, cutting in and out as routers rebooted — a reminder that the blackout had left more than empty streets; it had left subtle fractures in daily life.Beyond the window, the sidewalks were sparsely populated. People walked with earbuds in, coffee cups in hand, glancing at their phones as if scanning for reassurance.Delivery scooters wove through traffic cautiously, drivers navigating around overturned bins or traffic cone

Chapter: Chapter 8: Heat and Hunger Beneath the Dark Blackout SkyChapter 8: Heat and Hunger Beneath the Dark Blackout SkyThe blackout started just after sundown.At first, people assumed it was a blown transformer or an overworked power grid. Apartment windows glowed briefly with phone flashlights and battery - powered candles.In the convenience store across from Aria’s building, the clerk handed out change by the light of a single tea candle stuck in a coffee cup.But as the hours stretched on, the mood shifted. The hum of refrigerators and vending machines was gone. Elevators were dead. Streetlights didn’t flicker back to life. Even the traffic signals stayed black.Aria sat at her kitchen table with her phone plugged into a small portable charger, watching the little battery icon creep up. She scrolled through social media, but the feeds were a jumble — shaky videos of dark streets, angry posts about the outage, wild theories blaming hackers, the weather, or foreign governments.Jules came in from the balcony, sliding the glass door shut. “It’

Chapter: Chapter 7: Digital Lockdown, The Fall of EVO Patient ZeroChapter 7: Digital Lockdown, The Fall of EVO Patient ZeroThe night before the sirens, the city was restless in ways most people didn’t notice.Streetlights flickered in uneven rhythms, not from bad wiring but like they were responding to something unseen. At the corner of 9th and D••••••, the ATM screens rebooted in perfect sync, cycling through static before returning to their menus. Across town, the giant ad board above the old cinema glitched for three full seconds — its polished model’s smile stretching into a pixelated snarl before snapping back.Nobody connected the dots.In the Gutter & Spine backroom, Jules locked the register while Aria lingered by the front window. The reflection in the glass was sharp, almost too sharp — catching details she knew weren’t behind her. For a moment, she thought she saw someone else standing in her place, lips moving without sound.She blinked, and it was gone.Outside, the rain had stopped but the streets smelled faintly metallic, as if a sto

Chapter: Chapter 6: Time Slips Between Mirrors in an Endless LoopChapter 6: Time Slips Between Mirrors in an Endless LoopAfter the mirror cracked and the first crimson flower bloomed inside the bookstore, the world Aria knew began to unravel. Strange pulses echoed beneath the city, and unseen eyes watched her every move. What followed was a second chance — not to change the past, but to be near the future she hadn’t yet faced.The girl stood on the edge of the rooftop five stories up, her silver - blonde hair, cut short with strict, surgical neatness catching the wind like threads of light. Her boots were scuffed, her hoodie torn at the sleeves, but her eyes — cold forest green and unwavering — never left the apartment across the street. She watched the window on the third floor, waiting.Inside, Aria moved slowly through her morning. Toast in one hand, coffee cooling on the sill, phone playing a podcast she wasn’t really listening to. Her hair was damp from the shower, still tangled. The oversized shirt she wore was wrinkled. She looked like some

Chapter: Chapter 5: The City Waits While The Mirror Watches CloselyChapter 5: The City Waits While The Mirror Watches CloselyAria woke slow, sunlight leaking through the blinds like it was hesitant to reach her. Her body still hummed with the memory of Jules’ touch — soft, electric, real. She turned toward the side of the bed where Jules should have been, but it was empty. A quiet ache settled in her chest, sharp but not unwelcome.She pulled Jules’ oversized shirt tighter around her shoulders and breathed in. The fabric still smelled like her — warm, a little wild, a little sweet. It was the only thing anchoring her to last night’s closeness, the only proof that wasn’t fading into the haze of morning.Her phone buzzed softly on the nightstand. A message from Jules: “Still thinking about you. Coffee later?”Aria smiled, thumb hovering over the screen before replying: “Always.”She sat up slowly, eyes drifting to the cracked mirror across the room. The jagged line sliced through her reflection, but this morning it felt different — sharper, colder. Sh

The city looked like it had been devoured — chewed up by fire, time, and whatever came after — then spit back out in jagged pieces.
Dead drones dangled from power lines like rusted ornaments. Neon signs flickered above fractured pavement, their broken scripts glitching into gibberish. Down the block, a half - melted smartcar burned slow, casting warped shadows across the skeletal remains of a coffee bar.
Behind a crumpled tram car, someone crouched low, breath tight in her lungs.
The shrieking hadn’t stopped.
It came again — sharp, bone-deep, the kind of sound that latched onto your spine and refused to let go. She checked the signal jammer at her hip. Still blinking. Still active.
Not for long.
They were tracking her. She moved fast — boots silent over broken glass, slipping through the breach in an old laundromat’s wall. Her body moved from muscle memory now: slide through, duck left, over the washer, don’t look at the corpse slumped by the dryer.
Out the back. Up the fire escape.
On the rooftop, she halted. Not alone.
Someone was already there — silhouetted against the bleeding sunset. Combat jacket. Short - cropped hair. Pulse rifle slung casually over one shoulder like it weighed nothing. Like this was just another rooftop, just another war.
“Don’t move,” the voice snapped.
She lifted her hands slowly. “I’m clean.”
“Everyone says that.”
“Scan me.”
beat. Then the girl stepped forward, rifle still raised but gaze locked in. Dark eyes, sharp, searching — not just for weapons, but tells. Fear. Lies.
She lowered the rifle half an inch.
“You’re lucky you’re cute.”
That wasn’t the line she expected.

Chapter: Chapter 10: Packing ShadowsChapter 10: Packing ShadowsAria moved around her small apartment with a strange kind of numb determination. The rain from last night still clung to the windows, streaks running down the glass like tears, but inside, she was busy packing the few things she could carry. Clothes folded into a battered duffel bag, notebooks stacked carefully, the sketchbook tucked away like a secret. Every item was a piece of the life she was leaving behind — her normal, cracked and fragile as it was.Selene sat silently in the living room, arms crossed, watching without saying a word. Her green eyes flicked occasionally toward Aria, but she didn't speak. She'd learned patience during her two years preparing for this moment — the rebirth, the awakening, the storm coming — and yet, every time she looked at Aria, she felt like she was facing something new. This Aria was different, fragile but fierce, tangled up in secrets neither of them fully understood yet.Selene thought about the cat. Piper. The way Ar

Chapter: Chapter 9: Breaking PointChapter 9: Breaking PointAria jolted awake, heart already racing like it had never stopped beating from some forgotten nightmare. Her breath came fast, damp hair clinging to her forehead. The rain outside was still going, soft now, more like static against the glass than an actual storm.Her apartment smelled like damp earth and charged air — like the ground right before lightning hits.She sat up slowly, wincing. Her limbs were stiff, like she'd slept with tension coiled too tight. She looked toward the window.The flowers were different.The four glowing red blossoms — the ones that had pulsed gently for weeks, always four, no more — had changed.There were six now.Two new petals had unfurled overnight. Quietly. Without warning.She blinked, breath catching. The fifth looked newer, less confident in its shape, but the sixth… The sixth pulsed stronger than the others. Brighter. And underneath that red light, the glass of the window had started to fog.She moved closer, barefoot on

Chapter: Chapter 8: Even If She Wasn't Mine, She WasChapter 8: Even If She Wasn't Mine, She WasAria had just turned eighteen.Selene didn't know where she'd gone at first, not until she tracked her back to the apartment building through the rain. The lights were off. The blinds were only half - drawn. From across the street, hidden under the shadows of the tree line, Selene stood watching.Inside, Aria lay curled up on her bed. Her shoulders shook with quiet sobs, her hands covering her face. She didn't move. She didn't even flinch when lightning cracked the sky wide open.Selene's fingers twitched by her side. She wanted to break in. Crawl through the window. Wrap her arms around her. Wipe those tears away and whisper, Tell me who hurt you. I'll take care of it.But she didn't move. Not yet. Not when she was still supposed to be a stranger.She didn't know what exactly happened at first — only that Aria had come home heartbroken.

Chapter: Chapter 7: I Watched You Before You Knew MeChapter 7: I Watched You Before You Knew MeSelene's first breath after the rebirth wasn't calm — it was fire threading through her blood, ice cracking in her bones. Her body shook as if the earth itself had snapped back into her chest. She opened her eyes, not to light, but to memory.The first name in her mind was Aria.She didn't know why. Just that it rang like a bell every time her heart beat. Aria. Her Aria. The girl she hadn't even met yet.She started watching. Quietly. From afar.At seventeen, Aria Solenne was still human. Still untouched by the supernatural storm brewing beneath her skin. She didn't know the weight she carried in her blood or the danger that bloomed every time she smiled.Selene did.She'd stand outside the school gates sometimes, eyes hidden behind mirrored sunglasses, hoodie pulled low, pretending to check her phone while watching Aria laugh with her friends. Selene hated how easily Aria trusted the world. And she loved it, too.There were moments when fat

Chapter: Chapter 6: When the Sky Starts to BleedChapter 6: When the Sky Starts to BleedThe morning dragged itself out like the sky was caught between a sigh and a storm. Rain fell in slow, uneven drops, wetting the cracked sidewalks and washing the city in a soft gray haze. Aria pulled her umbrella low over her head, its worn nylon barely keeping the chill off. The streets were almost empty, quiet except for the steady tap of rain on pavement and the distant hum of a city reluctant to wake.She moved with a weight pressing down on her chest — like the sky was folding in on itself and she was caught in the middle. She didn't know where she was going. Not really. Her boots splashed through puddles, careless and cold, as if the water couldn't reach inside her.Passing the old bookstore next to the café — a place usually closed on Mondays — Aria blinked. The door was cracked open, just enough for a shadow to slip through. She stopped, heart skipping. The air smelled of damp paper and something sharper underneath. Metal? Static?"Mrs.

Chapter: Chapter 5: The Girl in the Fever DreamChapter 5: The Girl in the Fever DreamShe was sixteen. Technically "emancipated." Practically just a girl with keys, a name that wasn't hers anymore, and an apartment no one was supposed to know about. And still, somehow — Uncle Raymond found her.She didn't know how. Maybe Evan had followed her one day, or maybe one of those fake "family friends" had given her up. Either way, they were at her door. Loud, entitled, and pushing."You think you're grown now, huh?" Raymond's voice was smooth, practiced, fake concern dripping from every syllable. "I'm just worried about you, honey. You're not answering calls. I thought maybe you needed help managing everything."Aria didn't answer. She stood behind the door, breath held, phone clutched in her hand but no one to call. The lawyer said the trust was hers. But if Raymond pushed hard enough, if he found a judge —"Come on, Aria. Be smart. You don't even know how to handle money. Let me help you."His fist pounded once, hard.She flinched."Da
