JUNO'S POV

Five days.

That was how long we had before the horde was supposed to reach Roosevelt High.

At least, that was how long we had in the original story.

I was beginning to realize that my knowledge of the apocalypse came with a rather inconvenient expiration date.

First, Siren had appeared earlier than she was supposed to. Then we had killed her before she could murder Maya. Now Crowe had sent another monster after us, and I had absolutely no idea whether Wraith was following the origina

    JUNO'S POVFive days.That was how long we had before the horde was supposed to reach Roosevelt High.At least, that was how long we had in the original story.I was beginning to realize that my knowledge of the apocalypse came with a rather inconvenient expiration date.First, Siren had appeared earlier than she was supposed to. Then we had killed her before she could murder Maya. Now Crowe had sent another monster after us, and I had absolutely no idea whether Wraith was following the original timeline or doing its own thing.Honestly, I was starting to miss my old problems.Back then, my biggest concern had been whether I could afford pepperoni on my pizza.Now, I had a homicidal scientist, six terrifying mutants, an approaching zombie horde, and a mysterious shadow creature that apparently wanted to collect my eyeballs.What a wonderful career change.I stood near one of the classroom windows, looking out at the abandoned street beyond the school gates.The sky was still that disg

  • ZAPPED INTO THE APOCALYPSE: I Know How This Book Ends   Chapter 10: Spoiler Girl

    JUNO'S POV "Hi," I said. "I'm Juno. I... I delivered pizza before. Now I... I have a spoiler power."I did a nervous laugh. But no one laughed with me.Alice helped. "Juno Awakened with future sight. She leveled up to 30 seconds and branching futures when we killed Siren. But she also... she says she knew us before. From a book."There were sudden murmurs.The radio boy raised his hand. "Like a prophecy book?""Kind of," I said. "In my world, your world is a novel called 'Alice in Apocalypse Land'. I was reading Chapter 89 on the subway when lightning hit me and I woke up in the alley where Kai found me."I expected them to laugh or call me crazy.No one laughed. In the apocalypse, crazy is normal. A girl falling from another world is less crazy than a virus that makes people mimic voices."So you know what happens next?" the nurse asked."I know what was supposed to happen next," I said. "In the book, after Siren died, you stay here two more weeks, then a horde comes because Siren's

  • ZAPPED INTO THE APOCALYPSE: I Know How This Book Ends   Chapter 9: Co-author

    JUNO'S POV I wiped my face with my sleeve, leaving blood and dirt."The book where you all die," I said, before I could stop myself. The truth just fell out, because I was blind and bleeding and tired of lying. "In the book I read before lightning hit me, you all die. Vera dies saving Alice from Maw. Ren dies saving Kai. Kai dies saving Alice. Alice ends up alone. That's how it ends. I think. Though I didn't get a chance to read the last few ending chapters but that's what it was leading to. And Maya? She died in Chapter 12. And I... I couldn't..."I was full-on sobbing now, ugly crying, snot and blood."I didn't want any of you to die! I liked you all! I was on the subway reading you and I didn't want you to die alone!"The silence was getting heavier.I thought they would think I was insane.Vera was the first to move. She knelt and hugged me. Her big, Titan arms, squeezing me so hard my ribs cracked."Hey," she said, her own voice shaking. "Hey, Error girl. We're not dead, and we

  • ZAPPED INTO THE APOCALYPSE: I Know How This Book Ends   Chapter 8: Spoiler Level 2

    JUNO'S POV Everything exploded. Not just the explosives, the speakers, with feedback, screeched so loud my ears rang.Siren screamed, not with my voice, not Maya's, her real voice — a horrible high sound that shattered the brick building's one window.Vera was already there, her hammer swinging.Kai fired his machine guns.For a second, I thought we had her.Then the smoke cleared.Siren was still standing. Bleeding black blood from three places, throat punctured, but standing.And she was looking straight up at me on the stairs.She opened her mouth and spoke, not in my voice this time, but in a new voice. A man's voice. Calm, elegant, cold."Well done, Error. You managed to trick me."I had a feeling that was Dr. Silas Crowe's voice. The big bad scientist who caused all these in the first place.Siren was speaking for Crowe.And she jumped, not at Vera, not at Kai, but straight up the tower stairs — straight at me.Ren shoved me behind him, his katanas out.Siren was mid-air, it's

  • ZAPPED INTO THE APOCALYPSE: I Know How This Book Ends   Chapter 7: The Road Tower

    JUNO'S POV I did not sleep.How do you sleep when a mutant two blocks away is humming your own voice back at you?Every time I closed my eyes, I heard it. Faint, through the broken windows of Roosevelt High. My voice, but wrong. Like a recording played backward.Around 3 AM, I gave up and sat up on my cot. The teacher's lounge was dark except for the small camping lantern Alice left on. Kai was asleep on the floor near the door, one gun under his hand even while sleeping. Ren was gone — probably on roof watch. Vera and Maya were in the classroom next door, I could hear Vera's low snoring.Alice was awake too, sitting at the map table, sharpening a knife."You hear it too?" she whispered without looking up.I nodded, even though she wasn't looking."She's taunting you," Alice said. "Siren does that when she marks someone. She learns your voice and uses it at night so you can't sleep. So you're tired when she attacks.""That's... really messed up.""All Hex are messed up. Crowe made th

  • ZAPPED INTO THE APOCALYPSE: I Know How This Book Ends   Chapter 6: In Six Days

    JUNO'S POV I woke up to the sound of people talking loudly.I tried to make sense of what I was hearing then it dawned to me that they were arguing about whether to let me live.Not ideal bedside manner."She knew Maya's name before we told her, Kai. She knew Siren would mimic Maya before any of us heard it. She knew where the cache was. That's not a power, that's intel. How did she get intel?"That was Vera. Her deep voice right above me. She was trying to whisper but Vera whispering is still loud."She saved your life," Kai whispered back, harder. "Ren saw it. If she hadn't yelled, Siren would have ripped your throat out.""And then she grabs Maya and starts bleeding and screaming about six days! What did she see? Is my daughter going to die in six days? You want me to be calm about that?""She's a kid herself, Vera. Look at her."I kept my eyes closed. I was on a cot again. Softer this time. A blanket that smelled like old laundry detergent. My head still pounded, but the noseblee
