I REBORN 14 DAYS BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE AND MET A WEREWOLF Chapter 31
I didn't stop to think.There was no time for thinking.I grabbed a thermal coat off the rack beside the airlock and pulled it over my head as I ran. My arms tangled in the sleeves. I didn't care. At the same time, I reached into my storage space and pulled out Nikolai's heavy parka. The thick black one with the fur hood. I tucked it under my arm.Then I ran through the inner door.The cold hit me like a wall.It wasn't like normal cold. It wasn't like a winter morning or a snowy day. It was a living thing. It wrapped around me and squeezed. It bit into every inch of skin that wasn't covered.Eighty-four below zero.My first breath burned all the way down. Like I was breathing in fire instead of air. The wetness on my eyelashes froze in seconds. I blinked, and they stuck together. I had to rub them apart with my glove.I knew this cold. I had died in this cold.I had maybe four minutes. Maybe less. After that, my fingers would stop working. Then my hands. Then my legs.Four minutes.T

I didn't answer Elese right away.I took my finger off the intercom button and turned to Nikolai."Can you give me a minute?" I asked. "Alone."He looked at me.It was a long look. Different from the way he usually looked at me. For the first time since he found that badge on Castor's chest, his golden eyes narrowed a little. Like he could see exactly what I was doing.Like he knew I was managing him.Keeping things from him. Deciding what he was allowed to hear.My chest tightened. But I didn't take it back.He didn't argue. He just nodded once, set the test strips down on the counter, and walked out.His boots echoed down the steel corridor. Step. Step. Step. Getting quieter. And quieter.I waited until I couldn't hear them anymore.Then I pressed the intercom button."I'm not making you any promises," I said. "You talk. I listen. Then I decide what to do with what you tell me."Silence.Nothing came through the speaker. Not a breath. Not a sound.The silence went on so long that I

I walked out of the airlock with Eris's words still ringing in my ears.*He was waiting for something to be born.*But I didn't let it show on my face. Not one bit. If anyone was watching me through the cameras, all they would see was a woman walking down a hallway.I kept my steps even. Slow and steady. Left, right. Left, right.I checked the sealed rooms one by one as I passed them.Bay C. Locked. Quiet. Castor's body still inside.Bay D. Locked. The little girl still humming in the corner.The medical wing. The father still asleep on the gurney.Everything was where it should be. Everything was locked tight.Then I heard it.Pounding.Loud and frantic, from the storage room at the end of the hall. The room where I had locked Elese.Bang. Bang. Bang.I stopped....The vents in my fortress connected almost every room. I knew that. I designed it that way, so the warm air could reach everywhere.Which meant Elese had heard everything too.I walked to the storage room door and slid ope

I didn't go to Eris right away. I wanted to. Every part of me wanted to march down that hallway and make her explain every word she just said. But I made myself wait. First, I checked the father's cuffs. I pulled on each one to make sure they were tight. He lay still on the gurney with his eyes closed. His chest rose and fell, slow and even. Asleep, or close to it. Then I checked the screen for Bay D. The little girl sat in the corner of the gray room, wrapped in her silver blanket. Still humming. The door was sealed. The lock was green. Then I turned to Nikolai. "Go lie down," I said. "Boss, I can..." "Go lie down. That's an order." He looked at me for a long moment. Then he nodded and walked slowly toward the couch in the control room. Only then did I go. I walked down the long hallway toward the airlock. Slowly. One step at a time. I let my boots hit the steel floor hard, so every footstep echoed off the walls. I wanted Eris to hear me coming. I wanted her to count eve

The father's hands shook against the top of the wall.I could see how hard he was fighting. Every muscle in his face was tight. His jaw was clenched so hard I thought his teeth might crack. A thin vein stood out on the side of his head, beating fast. It pulsed to a rhythm I couldn't hear. Like a drum only he could feel."I don't have long," he gasped. "Seconds. Maybe less.""Then talk fast," I said. My rifle was still pointed at his chest.He closed his eyes. "It's like the tide. A big wave, coming in. Rising and rising." His breath hitched. "And I'm a man standing in the water with a bucket, trying to hold it back."Tears ran down his frozen cheeks."Lock up my wife," he begged. "And my son. Put them somewhere with no windows. Somewhere dark." He opened his eyes and looked straight at me. "And take me somewhere far from the doors. Somewhere I can't reach them. Please. Before he comes back."...Nikolai was already moving.He didn't wait for me to give an order. He held out his hand,

The red light blinked once.Then twice.My hand was already on the hatch seal. I slammed it shut. The small door at the bottom of the outer wall closed with a heavy clang.But it was too late.The tray had already rolled back inside. The rabbit sat on it in the supply corridor, inside my wall. Barely three meters from the hallway that led straight into the heart of my fortress.Its little red light kept blinking. Faster now. On, off. On, off.Warming up.This was the moment my fortress was supposed to save me.And it tried.[Alert: Outside signal device detected inside the walls.][Adaptive Defense: 70%. Not enough to block it.]Seventy percent. Not enough.I didn't wait for a better idea. There wasn't time for one.I jumped out of my chair and ran."Boss!" Nikolai shouted behind me. Then I heard his footsteps, fast and heavy, right on my heels.I ran down the corridor. Past the control wing. Past the storage rooms. My boots slipped on the smooth floor, and I caught myself on the wall
