WINNIE

I blinked my eyes open again. The light streaming through the small window was softer this time, and my head didn’t pound as badly as before. The pain in my ribs was still there, but it was dull now, not sharp like it had been. My throat was dry, but I could breathe easier.

I turned my head slowly. The same little house. Same wooden ceiling. Same soft blanket pulled up over me.

Then I heard her voice again, the kind old woman.

“Well, look who’s awake again,” she said, walking in with a little bowl and a spoon.

I gave a tired smile. “Hi…”

“You’re looking better,” she said, setting the bowl on the small table beside me. “You’ve been sleeping a lot.”

“I feel a little better,” I admitted.

She smiled kindly. “That’s good to hear. I’m Mary, by the way. My husband and I found you. Well, mostly my grandson. He was the one who pulled you out of the water.”

I blinked. “Thank you. Really.”

She waved her hand. “Don’t mention it. But now that you’re awake and not burning with fever, it migh

    PHOEBEThe door had barely closed behind my mom when I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding. I leaned back on the bed and rubbed at my face. The day had drained everything out of me. My bones, my voice, my soul.A soft knock came, and before I could respond, Winnie pushed the door open."Hey," she said softly.I sat up. "You okay?"She nodded and came to sit beside me on the bed, folding her legs like she used to in high school during our endless sleepovers.“I should be asking you that,” she said softly. “Have you guys made any plans yet? About Richard?”I leaned back against the headboard, closing my eyes for a second before answering. “No one’s said anything concrete. We’ve just been… reacting. Not planning. Everyone’s been so caught up in putting out fires, literally and emotionally.”Winnie picked at the hem of her sleeve, her brows knitting together. “Well… I found something.”My eyes snapped open. “What?”She glanced at the door and then back at me, voice dropping low

    RAMONThe night air was cool, crisp, and quiet. The kind of quiet that never lasted long in our world. I stood on the back porch, one hand buried in my jacket pocket, the other holding a cigarette. I hated the habit, but tonight, I needed something to ground me. The taste of ash, the curl of smoke, it dulled the edge of everything just enough.Stephen stood beside me, leaning on the railing, his eyes fixed on the sky like it had answers. He didn’t say much, but that was fine. Some nights didn’t need words.“You smoke?” I asked, glancing sideways.He gave me a small nod, slow and thoughtful. “Sometimes. When things get heavy.”“Tonight qualifies.”“Yeah,” he muttered.I pulled a cigarette from the box and handed it to him. He took it. I flicked the lighter, shielding the flame from the wind, and lit his.We stood there, not talking for a minute or two. Just breathing. Smoking. Thinking.“Hell of a day,” I finally said.He exhaled. “You could say that.”I took another drag and looked ou

    SHAWNAThe kitchen clock ticked too loudly.I folded the last of the dishtowels and looked around. The house was too quiet. Too still. I frowned."Where are they?" I muttered under my breath.I wiped my hands on the cloth and called out, “Mom? Damien? Anyone seen the kids?”Damien walked in from the living room, cradling a steaming mug of tea. He looked calm, unbothered. “They said they’d be around the backyard earlier. Haven’t seen them since.”I glanced toward the back window. The yard was empty now. The breeze rustled through the trees. No voices. No laughter. No sign of them.Something in my chest tightened.“Phoebe didn’t say anything before leaving?” I asked, already reaching for my phone.Damien shook his head. “Not a word. I thought maybe you knew.”I dialed Phoebe first. It rang once. Twice. Voicemail.I frowned and tried again. Still no answer.I moved on, Ramon, then Winnie, then Stephen. One by one, they all didn’t pick up.My voice was tense. “None of them are answering.”

    PHOEBEThe second Stephen said he was ex-military, I froze.Ramon blinked beside me, confused and clearly caught off guard. "Wait... what?"Stephen nodded, steady despite the blood staining his shirt. "I served. A long time ago. Special reconnaissance. That’s how I saw him. That’s how I knew."My mouth opened, but no words came out. My mind was racing, piecing things together. The way he’d disappeared so quickly. The calm, the precision. It all made sense now."You fought that guy alone?" I asked, stepping closer.Stephen winced a little, pressing his hand to the side of his stomach. "He had a blade. Got one lucky hit in. But he won’t be hurting anyone ever again."Just then, the front door opened with a quiet creak and Winnie stepped out, still nibbling on a cupcake and humming to herself. She stopped mid-step.Her eyes landed on Stephen, on the blood staining his shirt, the way he leaned heavily against the railing, one hand pressed to his side.Her expression changed instantly."St

    PHOEBEI had just gotten back to my seat, forcing a calm, practiced smile on my face, when I heard a soft voice behind me."Phoebe. Don’t move."I turned slightly, eyebrows raised. It was Stephen. His tone was so calm, so steady, it almost didn’t match the urgency in his eyes."What?" I whispered, barely moving my lips."There's a gun pointed at you," he said under his breath, gaze sweeping the crowd like he was just scanning for a friend.A chill raced down my spine.I laughed nervously because I knew. "Are you joking?"Stephen didn’t blink. "I'm not. I need you to stay exactly where you are. Don’t turn around. Don’t panic. Just breathe."My hands trembled. I tried to still them as I picked up my phone and opened a new message to Ramon.Stephen knows. He says there's a gun pointed at me. He’s going to neutralize the threat.Stephen leaned closer, his voice barely audible over the soft hum of conversation and music. “In thirty seconds, I’m going to move. Just keep talking to Winnie li

    PHOEBEThe music drifted through the backyard like smoke, soft and sweet. My parents’ get-together was in full swing. Fairy lights hung in loops between the trees, casting a golden glow over the patio. People laughed, drank, and danced. For the first time in weeks, maybe months, I felt light again. Safe.I swirled my drink and smiled as Winnie skipped over to me, cheeks flushed."Having fun?" I asked.Winnie laughed, twirling the end of her braid. "Yeah. More than I expected to."I raised an eyebrow. "More than you expected? Why's that?"Her eyes darted across the yard. I followed her gaze and spotted Stephen leaning against the railing, sipping from a bottle of soda and watching the crowd with quiet amusement. I looked back at Winnie, who was now blushing furiously."Oh my god," I grinned. "You're crushing on him.""No, I'm not," she said too quickly."You so are! Your face is pinker than your dress."She groaned and covered her face with her hands. "This is so stupid. I’ve had a cru
