COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS CHAPTER 115 : THE SILVER POISON
Maya pulled her face away from Bensons touch. His hand felt like fire. She fell back her boots tripping over the roots of a silver tree. She looked at her face in a glass wall. A small spot on her cheek was glowing with a metal light. It was not on her skin; it felt heavy. It felt like her blood was turning into metal."What did you do, Benson?" Maya gasped. She held her throat. She felt the coldness moving toward her neck. "Benson, your hand... Your eyes..."Benson stood up from a bench. His movements were strange. He moved like the man she loved. Also like a machine. He looked at his hand. It was made of light. He moved his fingers and blue sparks jumped between them."I did not do anything Maya " Benson said. His voice was warm. It had a hollow echo. "When you pushed your hand into the Core you deleted the Watcher.. You left an empty hole. Something had to fill that space so the satellite would not fall. I took the weight a million people would not die.""You took the virus inside
COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS CHAPTER 114 : THE SILVER GHOST
The glass city was not peaceful anymore. Maya felt like something was wrong. The sunlight was too bright and the smell of honey made her feel sick. She backed away from the man on the bench. The man looked like Benson. He was not Benson. Mayas boots made a clicking sound on the crystal floor.The man stood up slowly. His movements were too smooth. "Do not run, Maya " he said. His voice was deep. It sounded like a lot of people were speaking at the time. "You are the one who opened the door. You are the one who invited the fire inside." Maya was scared. She whispered, "You are not Benson. Benson is kind. Benson is human. You are covered in the Watchers marks."The silver symbols on the mans skin began to glow. They moved across his arms like living snakes. He stepped closer. The trees in the park began to turn from green to a metal silver. Maya felt a sob rise in her throat. She looked around the city. People were still waking up. They were. Hugging each other. They did not know what w
COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS CHAPTER 113 : THE TEN-MINUTE MERCY
The golden clock on the silver door did not just show the time it beat like a dying heart. 9:45. 9:44. Every second that passed felt like a weight on Mayas chest. The beautiful blue ocean behind them began to lose its color it turned into a flat grey. The white sand under her feet felt cold, like plastic."The computer is eating the world to stay alive " Maya whispered. She held the Silver Pen tight her knuckles turned white. Her blue dress flickered for a second it turned into computer code and then back into cloth."Maya look at me " Benson said. He grabbed her shoulders his hands were warm. His eyes were full of love and fear. "Do not look at the door look at me. We can fix this you always find a way. You are the doctor I know.""I am not a doctor Benson " Maya shouted. Her voice echoed across the beach. "I am a battery. Every breath I take in this dream costs the system power. Every time those children there laugh we lose a second. I am holding the lives of a million people. I am
COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS CHAPTER 112 : THE ARCHITECT OF DREAMS
The glass shield on the chair exploded into a thousand pieces. The black hand of the shadow felt like ice it was so cold. It made the fire in the room seem like a candle.Benson jumped forward. Swung his broken pipe at the shadow.. The pipe went right through it like he was fighting smoke."Get away from her!" Benson yelled. His voice was scratchy from the smoke in his lungs.The shadow hand did not hit him back. It just rested on Mayas shoulder. Then a person stepped through the wall of fire. He was a man in a very expensive grey suit. His hair was white. His face looked like it had a lot of secrets. His eyes were as clear as the sky."Stay calm, engineer " the man said. His voice was soft. It was louder than the sound of the building falling down. "I am not here to break your things. I am here to take back what is mine."Mayas body started to shake. Her eyes flickered, trying to find their color again. She reached out. Touched the mans sleeve."Father?" she whispered. The robot soun
COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS CHAPTER 111 : THE HEART OF THE MACHINE
The ceiling was making a bad noise. It was not a sound it was like the scream of heavy metal being twisted by a giant hand. Dust was falling from the roof like grey snow. It was covering Bensons hair as he stared at the computer screen. The orange ship in the sky was getting its big weapon ready. He could see the power rising on the monitor. A angry circle of light. This light meant that death was coming in than two minutes."Benson move!" Dr. Aris shouted. She grabbed his arm her fingers digging into his skin. "The spider robots are through the gate! If we do not leave now we will die before the ship even shoots!"Benson did not move. He could not move. His eyes were locked on the woman in the chair. Maya was still. Her skin was as smooth as a mirror reflecting the sparks from the computer. She did not look like his Maya anymore. She looked like a statue made of moonlight."I am not leaving her " Benson said. His voice was low. It was hard. He gripped the metal pipe in his hand until
COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS CHAPTER 110 : THE GODDESS AND THE GUN
The sky was on fire. The orange beam from the moon ship cut through the clouds like it was nothing. Maya felt the rumble in her teeth before she even heard the sound. It was a roar that just kept going."Maya move!" Benson yelled.. To Maya his voice sounded really far away.She was not just standing in the sand. She was connected to the earth by thousands of wires made of data. Through her feet she could feel the heartbeats of millions of people in the buildings. They were cold and scared. If she stepped away to save herself the connection would break. The shock would stop every heart she was protecting."I cannot!" Maya shouted. Her voice sounded like two people. Her soft voice and a deep metal echo.The orange beam hit the sand thirty yards away. The heat was so strong that the ground turned into a pool of glass instantly. Maya raised her hand. Without her thinking the tiny robots in her blood moved outward. They formed a wall above her and Benson.BOOM!The beam hit her shield. May
COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS CHAPTER 50 : THE CRADLE OF STARS
The silver hand broke through the stone like it was nothing, but it didn’t move the way a normal hand does. It slid forward, smooth and silent, as if it were liquid metal, not flesh. The moment it touched the subway air, the whole tunnel warmed up. Something sweet drifted through the darkness. Juli

The air wasn’t just cold—it was alive, crackling like something was about to snap. One second, the city hummed along, full of plants and sunlight from two burning stars. Then, from somewhere underneath, a deep rumble started creeping up. Maya pulled her hand away from Julian’s so fast, it was like

The little fishing boat’s engine roared, spitting and growling as it battled the wild North Atlantic waves. Freezing, salty water crashed onto Julian’s face, but he didn’t flinch. He gripped the wooden rail so hard his knuckles looked bone white. In his other hand, he clutched a silver locket, feel

The ground beneath the Silent Garden didn’t just shake—it groaned, deep and terrible, as if something enormous was dying below. Above the crystal ceiling, jet engines shattered the frozen silence.“They’re not waiting!” Julian yelled. He was loud, desperate. He seized Maya’s hand, gripping tightly.
