Jackson shouted before the call cut out. "Too late," Julian licked orange dust off his fingers. "Let's go," Nova said. "The compass is pulling." They picked the rusty lock of the service gate and descended into the station. It was breathtaking. The Ghost Station was a time capsule. The curved ceilings were covered in beautiful emerald and cream Guastavino tiles. Elegant brass chandeliers hung from the arches, covered in decades of dust. It was dead silent.

Zion’s eyes meet mine in the dim light dark, feral, starving. “We surely do, ma’am.” The gas station is a grimy shithole with flickering neon buzzing like a dying insect while a rusted-out semi idles like a horny beast with its engine rumbling low. Dad groans out of the van to crack his back while Mom digs for her wallet as she leaves. Zion’s hand clamps mine to yank me behind the truck before the doors even finish sliding shut. “Hood. Now.” My ass slaps warm metal still ticking from the engine.

"Serena, are you sure you are okay? Are you sure those bastards didn’t hurt you?" I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. "I'm fine, Kaden. They didn't lay a hand on me." He wrinkled his nose, his eyes darting around the run down filling station as if just realizing its shady state. "Why on earth did you come to get gas here? This place looks sketchy. And the security cameras... they're broken. Those men could have gotten away with whatever they wanted, and no one would know. Plus, this area is so secluded."

“It’s not meant to feel right. This world is… in-between. A bridge between realms, where time and reality blend.” Aria turned to him. “How do you know?” Lucian hesitated, his expression darkening. “Because I’ve read about it. This isn’t just any place—it’s the Liminal Expanse. A realm where choices become consequences, and everything we do here shapes what comes next.” Kael scowled. “Great.

Chapter 46 The Lumina facility gleamed like a futuristic city of glass and steel. Every inch of the factory was a testament to the groundbreaking work happening within its walls. The building’s sleek exterior mirrored the cutting-edge technology inside, with polished chrome beams reflecting the sunlight that filtered through the glass panels. Automated gates opened seamlessly as Mr. Harrington, Evelyn, Carlos, and Mr. Caldwell entered, their footsteps echoing on the pristine, white floors.

Artemis We finally make it to the gas station and I spot the security guys waiting in the parking lot for us. I pull in the spot beside them and turn of the engine. They stand up straight when I walk around the car to meet them. “Did you find anything?” I ask them. They look at each other while I wait for someone to answer my question. “Well?” “We didn’t know what you wanted us to do once we got here.” One of the guys says.

I can't help but glance over my shoulder, half-expecting to see the imposing figure of Sir, ready to pounce on any sign of disobedience. The gas station finally comes into view, its neon sign flickering in the distance, offering a glimmer of hope. Determined to escape the suffocating grip of fear, I quicken my pace, my footsteps echoing in the silence. As I approach the entrance, the absence of any other customers is noticeable, adding to the eerie atmosphere. The silence is deafening, broken only by the distant hum of the highway. With a mix of trepidation and anticipation, I push open the door, the rusty hinges protesting with a creak.

Lucian’s eyes darted around his surroundings, in search of anything unusual. As soon as his car passed the border of Springfield into another city, Lucian’s stomach tightened. After about ninety of nonstop driving, Lucian’s car rolled to a stop on the side of a quiet road. He glanced at his phone again. The blinking dot had stopped moving finally.

The corn was no longer a golden harvest; it was a rotting, ten-foot-tall maze of yellowed stalks and razor-sharp leaves. In the week since the Electromagnetic Reset, the fields had become a Liminal Space (a place of transition between two states), smelling of fermenting sugar and stagnant water.
