MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 56 — Departure
The meeting began before sunset.Nobody needed to be told it was important.Word had spread through the settlement all afternoon, carried from cabin to cabin and worksite to worksite until everyone understood that Warren was finally going to make a decision.By the time Evelyn arrived at the main cabin, most of the settlement was already there.People crowded around tables and leaned against walls. Some stood near the windows while others settled onto benches that were never intended to hold so many bodies. The familiar space felt smaller than usual, packed with nervous energy and the quiet tension that came whenever a group of people knew their future was about to change.The map remained spread across the center table.It had become a permanent fixture over the past several weeks.Roads.Supply caches.Danger zones.Possible routes north.So many conversations had taken place around that map that Evelyn could practically picture them layered over one another.Arguments.Plans.Disag

The infected remained on the ridge until morning.Nobody wanted to move the body in the dark, and by sunrise the story had already spread through most of the settlement. People discussed it while carrying water, checking fence lines, and preparing breakfast. Details shifted from telling to telling, but the important part remained unchanged.The Watcher had killed an infected. Then it left the body where they could find it.Not hidden. Displayed.By the time Dean, Warren, Caleb, Rowan, and Evelyn reached the overlook, a low blanket of mist still clung to the trees. The forest looked peaceful from a distance. Sunlight filtered through cedar branches, catching droplets of water and turning them silver.The corpse ruined the illusion.Dean crouched beside the body while the others gave him room to work. Nobody felt particularly eager to stand close to something the Watcher had touched.For several minutes, the only sounds came from birds deeper in the forest and the distant rush of wind m

Nobody slept well after the Watcher smiled.By sunrise, the Fire Tower moved with the strained quiet of a settlement pretending it had not spent the night listening to the woods. Fires were lit, breakfast was cooked, water was carried from the barrels to the cabins, and yet every task seemed to require more people than it had the day before.No one went for water alone.No one checked the fence alone.Even the children stayed closer to the main cabin, watched by adults who tried very hard not to look frightened.Evelyn stepped outside with a cup of bitter coffee to warm her hands and immediately felt the change. The settlement had survived infected attacks, food shortages, storms, and grief, but this was different. Those dangers had pushed against the walls.The Watcher had looked over them.That felt more intimate somehow.More violating.Near the western fence, Dean crouched beside a patch of mud while Caleb and Mark stood over him. Their faces told Evelyn enough before she reached

Nobody used the word monster. That made it worse.Monster would have been simple.A monster attacked. A monster was killed. A monster could be hunted, trapped, burned, or shot if enough people were desperate and lucky.Whatever stood at the treeline the night before had not attacked.It had waited until people saw it.Then it left.By morning, the entire settlement had changed around that fact.People moved in groups even inside the fence. The children were kept near the main cabin. The western patrol route was abandoned until daylight, and even then, nobody volunteered until Warren finally assigned names.He did not argue when Dean requested to join the search.He did not argue when Evelyn said she was going too.That alone showed how much had changed.The search party left after breakfast.Evelyn, Rowan, Dean, and Caleb crossed the western gate while Warren stood inside, watching them go. For once, he didn’t offer an order disguised as advice.He only said, “Don’t chase it.”Dean ga

By morning, the Fire Tower felt different. People still moved through their routines. Fires were lit. Water was carried. Breakfast was cooked in the main cabin while guards changed shifts along the fence.From a distance, everything looked normal. Up close, nobody stood with their back to the trees anymore.Evelyn noticed it everywhere.A woman hanging laundry kept glancing over her shoulder. Mark checked the same stretch of fence three times before admitting he had already done it. Even Warren assigned patrols in pairs without arguing when Caleb suggested it.Nobody wanted to say they were afraid of something they barely understood, but that didn’t make them less afraid.Lily refused to leave the cabin steps. Nora tried coaxing her toward the water barrels after breakfast, but Lily stood rooted in place with one hand curled around the railing.“It’s closer today,” she said.The words quieted everyone nearby.Nora’s face went pale. “What is it?”Lily looked toward the western trees.S

By morning, everyone had heard about the feeling.Tracks could be argued with. People could blame rain, bad light, soft ground, fear, or imagination. They could call it an animal print distorted by mud, or a human track, stretched by panic, but feelings were hard to argue with.The sense of being watched by something they couldn’t see that Mark and Tess had described. People laughed it off at first, but the laughter didn’t last long. Too many strange warnings had turned out to be real, and nobody at the Fire Tower trusted easy explanations the way they used to.Evelyn found Lily near the cabin steps after breakfast. The little girl stood with her arms crossed while Nora tried to coax her toward the laundry line near the western fence.“I’m not going over there,” Lily said.Nora sighed. “It’s laundry, not a battlefield.”“I don’t like it.”Evelyn stopped walking.The laundry line stood inside the fence, close to the trees but nowhere near the gate. Nothing moved beyond it. Nothing look
