All Chapters of Come Be With Me, The End Is Here: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The eerie Silence of Mahdfel was when Michael the Archangel swept through to save those worthy. But the rebellious, stubborn, hard-hearted, selfish ones, they're all caught off guard as prophesied about in the scroll of instructions.Their silence is suddenly shattered. Sirens. Screams. Chaos.Bastion grabbed Autumn, arms locking around her bare waist. She twisted, trying to break free, “Let me go home!” But his grip was tight. He hauled her into the shuttle. Metal slammed. The world outside convulsed—explosions, glass breaking, fire swirling, debris falling from the sky, people shouting for help.Autumn blinked, stunned. Her breath fogged the window. "Oh, my God! Is it really happening?"Bastion’s eyes flicked to the controls. "Attack. It’s started. Faster than I thought."She pressed her fists to the glass. "My aunt—""There’s no time!" His voice, sharp. "Stay down. Don’t move."Autumn’s chest heaved. She tasted panic, metallic and sharp. She stared at Bastion, at the muscle tensed

Bastion watched Autumn sitting in her seat, crumbling with hurt and regret.Some heartbreaks, you only witnessed—helpless, hidden in the shadows. Some nights echo. Bastion remembered one—shadows stretched across the hallway, the clock ticking loud and uneven. Voices rose from downstairs, sharp and raw, slicing through the quiet. He slipped from his room, bare feet silent on the cold floor, and crept to the top of the stairs.Below, Autumn’s words cracked with urgency. “You have to believe me, Aunt Rose. Please! We don’t have much time.”Aunt Rose’s reply was thunder—unmoving, final. “Enough of this, Autumn. You’re scaring yourself over nothing.”Autumn’s fists clenched at her sides. “It’s nothing! The signs are everywhere—can’t you feel it? Something’s coming. Something terrible.”Rose shook her head, face set like stone. “I won’t listen to any more of this nonsense.”Bastion saw Autumn’s shoulders shake, saw the hope drain from her eyes. “Why won’t you trust me?” she whispered, voice

Bastion wiped tears from his eyes and pushed himself forward. Dread knotted his gut. What if it wasn’t Autumn? In the dark, Bastion called her name—voice raw, hope crumbling. “Autumn!” The word vanished into the wind. Half a mile away, a shape waited in the sand. He slowed, heart pounding, afraid to find her lifeless, afraid to hope at all. He had never seen a dead body up close. The idea chilled him to the bone.Bastion stopped a few feet away, breath tight. Hair tangled in the tide. He squeezed his eyes shut, praying. Please, let her be alive. He opened them. Autumn, sprawled on her stomach, arms thrown overhead. The fear drained away, replaced by frantic relief. Bastion dropped to his knees, hands shaking. He turned her over, calling her name."Autumn! Answer me! Autumn!" Bastion’s voice cracked, tears blurring his vision as he called her again and again."Autumn, Autumn, can you hear me? Please—" His tears wouldn’t stop.Bastion gently lifted her head onto his knees. He checked fo

To take his mind off the new sensations his body was experiencing, he got busy thinking about a permanent shelter for them to live in. And what about food and more clothing? Bastion ate two of the last four granola bars he had in his backpack. With some strength back, he could scavenge the shore for necessities and look for the wreckage of their ship.He stood up and looked up at the rising sun. It was shining so brightly today! It was a good day to do something with his time, instead of just sitting around and being sad. Bastion definitely didn't want to think about being with a girl he barely knew who didn't want to be bothered with him.Bastion stared at her for a few minutes as she slept. He immediately began to convince himself that she had no idea what she had done during the night. As sad as she was, she just needed to be next to a human being for comfort. By the way, that ended up being him, since he's the only human here with her, and she had no other choice. The girl was so

At the sound of the deep voice behind her, Autumn squeaked and whipped around, frightened. She'd thought she was alone in the water. "Autumn, don't do it!" She turned to strain her eyes to see who was frantically calling her name. She begins to swim toward the person happily; at first, she thinks she is seeing a mirage of her aunt coming to her. But the closer she got, it wasn't her aunt at all. Bastion could see that she looked at him with a startled expression. He stood there bearing a muscular chest. Autumn came closer and just looked at him as her pulse was doing a little tap dance. He stared at her back with his brows furrowed as it dawned on him she wasn't trying to drown herself.Autumn began to give a small smile, his dreamy eyes looking at his unruly hair moving in the breeze. The strands that were blowing about wildly made him look different.' Maybe it was his face, for the first time, looking manly, which was striking. She could honestly say that since they boarded the s
