Outbreak Novels & Stories

"How is that possible? I took all the cameras. How could anything leak online? "Where is the auction? Tell me!" The two men were clearly only spectators. They shook their heads again and again. "We heard the location won't be announced until seven tonight. The venue is random." Julian could only grit his teeth and warn them. "If I find out either of you went, I'll make you regret it." When he loosened his grip, the two men fled in panic. Only then did Julian clearly see that the livestream photos showed me being assaulted by men.

"Are you seriously telling me you released me just to rub salt in the wound?" He smirked slightly. "Tempting. But no. There’s something more important." I exhaled through my nose, biting down my irritation. "Alright. Enlighten me." Edward guided his horse slightly ahead before speaking. "There was a temporary outbreak in the pack." I frowned. "Outbreak?" "Some sort of sickness. It came out of nowhere, spread quickly, and then just—disappeared." I let the words sink in, my mind turning over the implications. A sickness that came and went like that?

Her eyes found a spot somewhere around my collar, which was probably the safest place she could look at me without passing out. “There has been an outbreak, Your Highness.” I looked at her. “An outbreak of what.” “An infection, sir.” She swallowed. “Airborne. It started near the eastern border of the territory. A wolf came into contact with it first and he…” She paused. “He went rogue, Your Highness. He has been making contact with other wolves and passing it on. The infected are presenting with severe blistering all over their skin and extreme pain.

Their Sovereignty-Virus was spreading through the Curators' network, triggered by the "Pulse" Audrey had uploaded. Across the sector, "Perfect-Stills" were cracking. The "Great Museum" was undergoing a "System-Wide-Thaw."

Dr Purcell just shut me down, maybe the reddish black scales weren’t as big of a deal as I thought that it was. Dr Purcell was right, that was not enough to help those who were already sick, we could stop it from spreading further now that we knew the source but what about saving those who were sick? Damon shook me vigorously, “Rebekka, get out of your head and talk to me.” I blinked and looked at him, I hadn’t realized that I spaced out. “Uhm,” “What is it?” “We found out that the outbreak is water borne, there is something in the wells.”

LEVI'S POV The door had barely shut behind us before Theo started speaking; the urgency in his voice immediately put me on edge. “It’s a plague outbreak.” I stopped so abruptly that Theo nearly walked into me. “What the fuck did you just say?” “A plague outbreak. And it’s the first outbreak of its kind in centuries. It started in Gravel End and Black Pike, but it’s spreading fast. They’ve already reported ten casualties already.” “Fuck.” The word left me under my breath, as we started moving again, both of us striding quickly through the corridor now.

In the year 2054, there was an outbreak of an illness that hit so quickly that no one had a chance to prepare for it. Billions of people died within weeks. To this day no one is sure what caused the illness, where it came from, and if it is truly gone. Countries fell and chaos ensued.
