Ava stared at the photograph lying on the concrete floor.

Her hands trembled as she bent to pick it up.

It was unmistakably her.

She looked younger, wearing a navy-blue graduation gown, smiling as she held a bouquet of white lilies. The picture had clearly been taken years before she met Ethan.

A chill crept down her spine.

"Where did you get this?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

The tall man smiled.

  • FRACTURED VOW    CHAPTER 74 — GENESIS ZERO

    The metallic structure descended through the broken ceiling.It didn't fall.It floated.Silent.Perfectly still.Ava stared at it.The symbol on its surface pulsed with silver light.GENESIS ZERO.Ethan stepped in front of her.“Stay behind me.”Ava shook her head.“No.”“Ava—”“This thing isn't here for you.”The structure suddenly opened.A circular doorway appeared.Inside was darkness.Then a voice echoed from within.“Ava Collins.”Ava froze.The voice was hers.Exactly hers.Same tone.Same breathing.Same rhythm.She stepped forward.Ethan grabbed her hand.“Don't.”Ava looked at him.“I need to know who that is.”“You don't have to face everything alone.”She squeezed his hand.“I know.”Then she released him.“But this time, I think I'm supposed to go.”---The moment Ava stepped inside Genesis Zero, the door closed.Ethan slammed his hand against it.“Ava!”Nothing.Cain stared at the structure.“It's sealed.”Ethan turned toward him.“Open it.”“I can't.”“You opened Genes

  • FRACTURED VOW    CHAPTER 73 — THE CHOICE OF HUMANITY

    The words echoed through Genesis.“WE CHOOSE EACH OTHER.”Ava stared at the screens.Eight billion voices.One sentence.For a moment, nothing happened.Then,ERROR.Every Genesis screen began flashing.COLLECTIVE MERGE INTERRUPTED.The woman calling herself the Collective stepped backward.“No.”Her voice cracked.“No, that's impossible.”Ava slowly raised her head.“They chose.”The Collective shook her head.“They were supposed to choose us.”“They did.”Ava looked at the millions of faces appearing across the screens.“They chose each other.”The Collective's expression twisted.“You think that means freedom?”Ava's mismatched eyes glowed.“No.”She stepped forward.“It means they don't want someone else deciding what they become.”The entire facility shook.Ethan moved beside her.“Ava…”She didn't look at him.“I can hear them.”“What are they saying?”Ava closed her eyes.Millions of voices filled her mind.But this time, they weren't screaming.They weren't angry.They weren't

  • FRACTURED VOW    CHAPTER 72 — THE MILLIONS

    The silence after Elias disappeared was worse than the threat itself.Ava stood motionless before the black screen.Her mismatched eyes glowed faintly.Ethan stared at her.“Tell me that isn't what I think it is.”Ava didn't answer.Cain looked toward the ceiling.“They're awake.”Jonathan stepped closer.“Not just awake.”He pointed toward the monitoring systems.“They're connected.”One by one, screens around the chamber came alive.New York.London.Tokyo.Lagos.Paris.Johannesburg.Millions of locations appeared.Everywhere, people were standing still.Some were inside hospitals.Some were on streets.Some were in their homes.Some were driving.But they all had one thing in common.They were looking at the same symbol.The Genesis symbol.Ethan stared at the screens.“How many?”Jonathan swallowed.“Almost everyone who was connected during Phase Three.”“How many people is that?”Jonathan hesitated.“Eight billion.”Silence.Ava's expression changed.“Eight billion?”Jonathan no

  • FRACTURED VOW    CHAPTER 71 — THE MERGE

    Ava screamed.The light swallowed everything.Her body lifted from the ground as invisible energy rushed through her.“STOP!”Zero's voice echoed through her mind.But Ava could no longer see her.She could only hear her.“Don't fight me.”Ava clenched her fists.“Get out of my head!”“I'm not in your head.”Ava's eyes widened.“I'm in your memories.”Suddenly, images exploded through her mind.A laboratory.Amelia.Ethan.A younger version of herself.A little girl crying.A hospital bed.A machine.Death.Then another memory.And another.Twenty-two deaths.Twenty-two endings.Twenty-two times Ethan had watched her die.Ava collapsed to her knees.“No…”Zero's voice became softer.“Now you understand.”Ava pressed her hands against her temples.“You're showing me his memories.”“They're ours.”Ava looked up.“What?”“You were never separate from me.”The room disappeared.Ava found herself standing in an endless white space.Zero stood opposite her.For the first time, Ava could see

  • FRACTURED VOW    CHAPTER 70: SUBJECT ZERO

    Ethan's ears rang.Dust filled the air.The Genesis chamber had become a wreck of broken glass, twisted metal, and sparking cables.“Ava!”He pushed himself off the floor.Nothing.“Ava!”He searched frantically through the smoke.Jonathan was on his knees.Amelia was bleeding from her forehead.Cain stood completely still.His silver eyes were fixed on the enormous screen.Subject Zero was still there.Watching.Smiling.Ethan grabbed Cain by the shoulders.“Where is she?”Cain didn't move.“Cain!”“She took her.”“Who?”Cain finally looked at him.“Zero.”Ethan's jaw tightened.“Where did she take Ava?”Cain pointed toward the shattered floor.“Below Genesis.”Ethan stared at the hole.“What is below Genesis?”Cain's expression darkened.“The place where all of this began.”---Ava opened her eyes.Silence.She was lying on a cold metallic floor.There was no Genesis interface.No cables.No machines.No Ethan.She sat up slowly.Her silver eyes illuminated the darkness around her.

  • FRACTURED VOW    CHAPTER 69: THE ONES WHO REMEMBER

    The world stopped breathing.For three seconds, every screen went black.Phones.Hospitals.Airports.Military systems.Satellites.Every digital system connected to Genesis.Then,CLICK.A million eyes opened.One after another.People sitting in their homes.Doctors standing in operating rooms.Children sleeping in their beds.Soldiers on patrol.Drivers stopped in the middle of highways.Prisoners behind locked doors.They all looked up at exactly the same time.And they all whispered the same words.“We remember.”Ava stood frozen inside the Genesis chamber.Her silver eyes flickered.She could hear them.Not just their voices.Their thoughts.Millions of memories crashed into her mind at once.Wars.Birthdays.Deaths.First kisses.Mothers holding newborn babies.Children crying.People who had forgotten entire years of their lives.People who had died,and somehow remembered dying.Ava staggered backward.“Stop…”Her hands went to her head.“Please…”Ethan rushed toward her.“Av
