LOGINThank you all for reading. And thank you so much for the gems. I love you all.
Kara's POV:I froze, my eyes widening in shock as I stared down at Rose's glowing hand.For a long moment, neither I nor Harris knew what to say."How long has your hand been doing that?" I asked, and then, subconsciously, I created a shield around both I and Harris.I had no idea what the glow did, and while I didn’t think Rose had any bad feelings towards us, it was better to be safe than sorry."Since midnight. I was filled with so much pain," she whispered under her breath, “But when I woke up, I felt strange, and that was when I discovered that I could emit light off my body. I tried washing it off, and nothing happened. It took a long time before I realized that I could will it to go back.”“Well, what can you do?” I asked with raised brows,Rose swallowed and shrugged, “I still do not know,” she whispered, “But when I touch someone, I can feel something moving through my palm towards them.” She paused for a moment, and I could tell she was trying to find a way to explain it to m
Kara's POV:I stepped forward, and took a deep breath, before I began to speak."I would first love to start by thanking you all for keeping your cool over the past couple of hours. I know that everything that happened must have come as a shock to all of you. I am sorry to all of you who’ve lost someone close to you. I really am.” I paused for a moment and looked around the crowd, before I continued, “But I do need all of you to listen carefully to what I have to say next. What I'm about to tell you isn't going to be easy to hear, but you deserve to know the truth."The playground gradually fell silent as everyone stared at me with blank stares.My gaze darted towards Harris, who was standing by my side before I turned back to face the crowd,"A couple of hours ago, at around midnight. Something happened across the entire world. People began to change, and some awakened abilities. But that was not the only thing that changed. The dead began to rise from the dead.”The entire island was
Ethan's POV:Even before the apocalypse started, Ethan’s life had already begun to turn to shit. And when it did start, after he first spotted a zombie slowly walking towards him, he almost lost himself to despair.He wanted to scream. Rage boiled within him, and the rage squashed the fear he had in his heart.He lost himself in his rage. And now, after spending the past few hours walking on eggshells, the only thing he wanted to do was burn the city down.If he had the power, he was going to tear apart the city, and make sure everyone suffered the pain he had been forced through. But he wasn’t as angry with the city as he was with Kara.That bitch had literally cut off his hand! He tried not to think about the fact that he was now permanently crippled, but he couldn’t. Every couple of minutes, his eyes would glance down at the stomp where his right hand used to be, and every time that happened, his features would be twisted in pure rage.His eyes darkened as he recalled all the emotio
Kara's POV:"I was attacked."Harris immediately turned toward me with raised brows, "What?" he gasped,I expected the reaction, so I didn’t even blink. Instead, I took a deep breath, calmed my mind and began to tell him what had happened after I had left the island with the guards.I told him about the initial talk I had with Sarah, about Ethan butting in, and the confrontation that followed. Then, I told him about the attack on the man in the shadows.When I told him about the man having lightening powers even before the apocalypse, he was shocked, but he didn’t interrupt me. It was only when I mentioned that Ethan had shot at me while my back was turned to him, that his expression darkened, and his brows shot up."That bastard actually tried to shoot you?" He hissed, his tone filled with so much rage, the world seemed to grow dim for just a second.I nodded, "And that wasn't even the worst part." I answered quickly. I was far too pissed about what Ethan had done, and even just think
Harris' POV:The shower felt like heaven, and I let it stretch for almost an eternity. It was only when I was no longer around zombie blood and all the gore that I realized just how much I missed not being surrounded by zombies and death.For the first time since the apocalypse began, I could finally wash away the blood, sweat, and grime covering my body. I used more hot water than was necessary, I thought it would allow my thoughts to settle. But apparently, my skin was now far too dense for the heat from the shower to penetrate through.So, even though I stood right beneath the hottest water that the shower could produce, I didn’t feel a thing. I would have thought that maybe the water wasn’t hot, but I could see the steam, I just couldn’t feel it.I turned my thoughts towards what was most important now. Kara, and the fact that she was alive.She was back. Even now, I couldn't entirely believe it.Ever since the moment I realized she had gone missing, I had refused to allow myself t
Kara's POV:"Do you need any help?"The moment those words left my mouth, Harris froze. Then, he slowly turned around.His eyes widened when he saw me, and for a long minute, his back stiffened and he stopped breathing completely. I had never seen him so shocked.Subconsciously, even though he was in the midst of a battle with a zombie, he still took a couple of steps towards me.He blinked, and when he was sure that I was not a mirage, the biggest smile ever began to spread across his face.I had never seen relief flow through someone that fast. His eyes brightened, his heart began to beat faster, and his entire aura changed. It was as though every light in his world had been turned on.I felt the same way.Seeing that he was alive and hadn’t been turned had sent relief crashing through me. The emotions I felt right then were so intense that it made my chest tighten."Kara," His lips parted, and my name left his mouth with disbelief in his tone.For a second, I watched him come to ter
