"I told you before. I remember your heartbeat." For the first time in his long career, Damien Cross felt a sensation he hadn't experienced on an assignment: total uncertainty. And somewhere in the heavy darkness above them, completely unseen by either of them, the lens of a hidden camera quietly focused on the pair. Someone else had been watching all along.

Instead, I stopped by the market and placed an order for the following day’s beef bones. At 11 p.m., just after I finished my shower, another video from Bianca popped up on my phone.

“ There’s nothing left to save.” My throat tightened. “You don’t get to decide that.” “I already did.” He moved faster then. Not human fast. Hunter fast. Refined. Precise. Lethal. The ground shifted again. This time, it gave way. Completely. Mud vanished under my feet. I dropped.

I closed the window and began to uninstall the program when a new notification popped up. Phoenix I clicked it curiously. I watched the video as the program began to uninstall. It was a video of a mass shooting at a strip mall in some foreign country. I couldn't understand a word they were saying, but it was obvious the recorder was scared. He was crouched behind a car. He peeked from around the car and the camera landed on a man dying on the ground. He stretched his hand out to the man with the camera. The dying man looked so scared as he took his last breath. I almost stopped watching when the man suddenly burst into flames.

Jax doesn't even know she has a diary. "Finally! I saw him today, he was as handsome as ever! He was preparing for their basketball team's play, that's why I didn't see him earlier because he was just busy. I wish I can wipe away those sweats from his forehead and arms. My love is so tired" Jade reads it with so much disgust on her face while the others are laughing and mocking Jade. "So cringe!" Mae squealed. "Who is this special someone huh, tell us! Tell us!" Valerie said.

Chills run down my spine and instantly my nerves vanish. We walk a little ways before he stops. He uncovers my eyes and my eyes open and try to adjust to the light. I cover my mouth and gasp. We are near the edge of the cliff and before us lies a view of the Emerald city. You can see everything from here. Below I can see the twinkling of the city lights and the hustle and bustle of the people. It seems everybody is in a rush to get somewhere, but I'm frozen in time watching as the world goes by. The view of the skyline can also be seen in the distance. The gray clouds cover the night sky as the moon tries to peek through. It's a relaxing and comforting feeling being up here.

"Doubt it, let's finish getting ready." Harken wanders into the living room and collapses onto the couch, picking up the remote and flipping through the channels before he decides to open up N*****x. Noel's account is the first one in the list, clicking it he sees her last watched show is Shameless and something compels him to put it on, wondering what is so interesting about it but in reality, he needs something to distract him from the fierce irritation he's feeling.

Venus asked rolling her eyes. Jules held the side of the ladder as Adam came down. "And that is my cue to leave." He said, picking up the ladder. He didn't close the door all the way. "So what are we watching?" Venus said, closing her book. "I know I said comedy the last time but I remembered this one and it's amazing so you have to watch it." Jules opened his laptop and showed it to her. "Rezero?" She read. "Yeah. I think you are going to like it." He selected all twenty-five episodes and dropped it into the playlist.

"We are in the 'Exhibition Exit,' but we are still 'Unregistered' in their world." "Look," Kaelen said, pointing to a massive glass window across the street. Inside the window, a dozen screens were playing a looped video. Silas felt his heart stop. It was the Blackwood Keep. It was the night of the rejection. He saw himself, younger and colder, raising the silver dagger. He saw Lyra, her face pale and scentless, kneeling on the dais. The text scrolling beneath the video read: LIVE FROM SECTOR 4: THE OUTCAST'S REDEMPTION—SEASON FINALE HIGHLIGHTS. JOIN THE VOTE FOR THE GENESIS PROTOCOL.
