The sky split open.

Sharon had seen the world end countless times, but she had never seen anything like this - something enormous pressing against reality's other side, something black stretching out across the heavens like a living ocean with countless silver eyes opening and closing along its surface.

The thousands of surviving black-marked stood completely still.

They were not afraid.

They were watching.

“Alex,” Sharon whispered, her eyes locked onto the sky, “get Luna away from here.”

    The door slammed shut behind them.The noise caused Daniel to spin around immediately, raising his gun to wherever the doorway was."It's sealed," he announced after trying out the handle and finding a lack of mechanical lock. "Something is holding it."Silver threads were undulating along the walls, stretching down from the ceiling and reaching into the darkness beyond the room. It all pulsed gently like the veins in a living corpse.In the center of it, holding up a stuffed rabbit was the little girl in a yellow hospital gown.Emily.She looked no older than six years old with pale skin, silver eyes, and a rabbit with one ear hanging loose just as the memories Sharon had tried so desperately to unearth.The girl was staring at Alex.“You came back, Daddy.”Alex couldn't move.Sharon had seen him stand down armed men, she'd watched him walk through burning buildings and fight down foes that should have cut his throat. But now he looked like some man who's just discovered the ground b

    "Daddy is the reason I died."Emily's words came to an abrupt halt on the sound of static. Sharons heart pounded in the deep silence of what followed before she realized the sound was her own heartbeat.Alex stood in the doorway of the settlement hall, his eyes fixed upon the small stuffed rabbit in Shadon's hands.He did not refute the accusations.He did not explain himself to Sharons surprise.He stared just as though he had spent a decade running from a specter in his past rather than merely days.Sharon knew she had seen Alex face down armed assailants and negotiate with terrorists. She knew he had made impossible choices that had cost the lives of hundreds if not thousands of people in his wake.But she had never seen him afraid of the childlike voice coming from behind her yet."Alex," she said quietly, forcing herself to her feet. "Tell me what you know."He looked up at her."I can't."The words cut deeper than she expected."You can't, or you won't?""I don't remember everyt

    "Mommy, why did you let me die?"Sharon gripped the radio so hard her fingers ached.Years had taught her that the hardest thing a person could lose was the memory of a person they loved. She would never have believed that remembering the love before the loss was equally as devastating as forgetting the loss in the first place."Emily," she whispered. "Sweetheart, can you hear me?"There was a static crackling,then a soft sobbing."Mommy?""I'm here. I'm listening. Tell me where you are.""I don't know."Sharon's throat suddenly tightens."Can you see, Luna?""Yes.""Is she safe?"There was a long pause before the answer."She's sleeping," was her reply, "but the woman said she'll not awake until the house is finished."Alex leaned closer to the radio."What house, Emily?"The child's breathing changed."Who is that?""I'm your father, sweetheart."Another pause, then her voice came through again, whispering."You look different."Alex's face contorted with something like pain, then

    "Now, let's see which daughter you choose this time."The woman's words chased Sharon into the darkness.Sharon found herself standing in a white room, unable to move as the little girl sat with tearful eyes on the floor, the stuffed rabbit with the torn ear lying between them."Mommy?" the child wimpers again.Sharon's heart twists painfully in her chest, as she feels an inexplicable grief."What is your name?" Sharon asks.The girl looks up at her and tucks her head in a strange way."You... gave me my name."Sharon reaches out to her, but the moment Sharon's fingers graze the child's shoulder, the room shudders.The white walls crack open, revealing flashes of silver light beneath.The girl grabs Sharon's wrist."Don't let them..." her voice trails off as the child's small fingers curl tighter around Sharon's arm."Who took you?" Sharon asks."The ones who told you to forget me."Sharon sinks to her knees in front of the girl."I won't forget you," Sharon promises.The child looks

  • Reborn 30 Days Before Doomsday:The Billionaire Wants Me    Chapter 57 :THE WOMAN WEARING MY FACE

    Sharon had seen monsters wear human skin before.She had seen zombies drag loving faces through bloodstained streets, and she had learned that the deadliest lies were often the ones that sounded the most like the truth.But she had never heard her voice laughing from the other side of a locked door."Thank you for opening the door, Mother."Mira was shaking so hard that Sharon had to fight to keep from dropping herAs soon as Sharon's fingers brushed against her skin, a cold wave of something unnameable ran through her veins and she found herself standing at the end of a white corridor.A glass chamber stretched before her, hundreds of silver threads running through the darkness.And a woman stood in the center, her face exactly like Sharon's own.Sharon stumbled back, nearly dropping Mira."Mom?" Alex grabbed her shoulder. "What happened?"" Don't touch her!"Mira's voice froze him in his tracks." Don't touch me," she repeated, staring at Alex. "Not until we know what it did to her.

    "Mom, please! Open the door!"That unmistakable, frightened voice had belonged to Mira.The young soprano in the strange transmission, the one who should have died when Sharon's car had plunged down the embankment.But at the same time, the voice inside Sharon's skull was equally insistent.Don't let her in. That's not our daughter.Sharon pressed against Alex's outstretched hand. The security doors battled, but the emergency lighting was failing. Somewhere in the distance, there came the dull thud-thud of alarm bells. A heartbeat later, the screams of the settlement's guards reached Sharon's ears, a terrible warning that what ever Mira's pursuers had let out of their containment unit had reached the safety of the compound."Nobody opens that door," Daniel growled."That's my daughter, you bastard," Sharon snapped. "Out there! This has gone far enough!""And the woman who has been guarding Luna could have that same strength," Daniel reminded her. "You know what they were saying in the
