Reborn 90 Days Before The Apocalypse Scarf
Chapter 40ScarfThey came home in the dark, with no lights and no engines.Hale was waiting at the gate with a lantern covered in cloth. When the first boat touched the dock, he ran down the path and caught the rope himself. He looked at the twenty-one strangers climbing onto the stones, wrapped in blankets and shaking with cold, and his hard face changed."All of them?" he asked."All of them," Elowen said. "Nobody was left."Hale nodded slowly. Then he took off his hat and held it against his chest, like a man at a wedding.The gate opened. Mara was already in the yard with six pots of soup. The old carpenter had pushed three tables together. Goldie ran down the path with her bag, saw Pryce with the silver leaf on his arm, and went straight to him without asking a single question."Early bite," Elowen told her. "Two hours old when we found him. He lied about it.""I will deal with the lying later," Goldie said. "Come with me, sir."Behind Elowen, fourteen more people stepped out of

Chapter 39PearlsThe sun was going down when the two boats turned for home.The sea was almost beautiful now. The fog had thinned, and the sky had a strip of pale pink on the edge, the first color Elowen had seen in months. Behind them, Station Nine was only a dark finger on the rocks. Ahead, the grey cliffs of the coast slid by.Elowen sat in the stern of the Tern with Pip's wooden boat in her lap. Lucan sat beside her, with his shoulder against hers. Neither of them said anything. After a day like this, they did not need to.Mercer's rescue crew had taken the launch. Walter and the children rode in the Tern, wrapped in blankets and sleeping in a pile. Pryce lay in the bottom of the boat with a silver leaf tied to his arm. Goldie would be waiting for him.Joss stood at the front, looking at the shore. After a long time, he said, "Stop the boat."Teo looked back. "Why?""Please," Joss said. His voice was strange. "Just for a minute."Lucan nodded, and Teo let the boat drift. They wer

"Nobody move," Elowen whispered. "We are cold. They cannot find us."On the boat, no one breathed. Hundreds of pale eyes stared across the water. Some Ashen tilted their heads. Some sniffed the air. They looked like dogs trying to remember a smell.Then the hum came back, one deep note, and the green light flared under the Teeth. All at once, every grey head turned away from the boat and faced the sea again.They rowed to the east jetty with muffled oars. It was a short stone pier with an iron ladder, hidden on the sea side of the tower, far from the causeway. The Ashen on the land side stood with their backs to it.A rope dropped from the roof. A woman slid down it fast, hit the jetty, and ran to the boat with her hand on her pistol. She was small and hard-faced, with a scar through one eyebrow and a Navy jacket gone grey with ash.She stopped at the edge of the stone and stared at Lucan."Sir," she said."Mercer."For a second, neither of them moved. Then Mercer stepped forward and

By nine in the morning, everyone in Lantern Point had gathered at the long table.Elowen stood at the head of it with her hands flat on the wood. She had called the meeting because it was the rule. Big choices were said out loud, in front of everybody."Station Nine is twelve miles up the coast," Lucan said. "The road is broken, so we go by sea. It is two hours in good weather. We take the Tern, and Teo thinks he can fix the old rescue launch by noon. Two boats. Maybe thirty-five people to bring home.""Thirty-five more mouths," Hale said. He did not say it cruelly. He was a careful man, and numbers were his job. "We took in eight just yesterday. We have food for winter, but only just.""I know," Elowen said. "Saskia?"Saskia stood up with her thick ledger. She did not even open it. "We have enough for two months if the Garden keeps growing," she said. "If we plant faster and waste less, maybe more. I changed the numbers last night. We can do it." She looked at Elowen, and for a momen

Chapter 35At three in the morning, Elowen put on her coat and went down to the dock.She did not take a lamp. Since the new rule, nobody carried fire outside after dark. The only light was the thin grey glow of the ash sky and the soft shine of the silver leaf in her pocket.Lucan was already there. He sat on the edge of the dock beside the Tern with one hand flat against the boat's wooden side. He did not turn around when she came close."You felt it too," he said."At the window," Elowen said. "Only for a second.""Come here. Put your hand here."She knelt and laid her palm on the hull. At first she felt nothing but cold wood. Then, very slowly, a deep, soft shaking rose up through her fingers. It was not loud. It was like the purr of a giant cat, sleeping far away."How long?" she asked."Four nights. Maybe five. I thought it was the generator, but we turn that off at six. I thought it was the waves, but the water is flat." He pulled his hand back and looked at it as if it belonge

Elowen stood in the yard and watched Caspian Vale eat.He sat at the end of the long table with a bowl of hot soup in both hands. At first he did not use the spoon. He just held the bowl and let the steam touch his face, like a man who had forgotten what warm felt like. His boots were taped together. His jacket was torn from the fight at the north camp. Dried blood ran across his knuckles.Nobody sat near him. The people of Lantern Point ate in quiet and looked at him from the corners of their eyes. Everyone knew who he was. Wren had told the story in the first week, and stories move fast at a long table."That is the husband?" Mara whispered to Goldie."Ex-husband," Goldie said. "And yes."Briar sat across from him with Pip pressed against her side. She had not let go of his hand since the gate. She did not touch her soup. She only looked at his hair, his small ears, and the lily dirt under his nails, as if she was counting every part of him."Mama, you have to eat," Pip said. "Aunt
