Ava

I’ve never known love before.

Not genuine love, anyway. Not the kind of love that doesn’t end up stabbing you in the back or making you feel even more alone than when you were holed up in your room.

I know how crazy all of this is. Falling in love with an alien is already far-fetched, but a cyborg? Well, that’s something else entirely.

It’s not just the sex that keeps me near him either. He has proven himself willing to save me, time and time again.

It’s also this place…

Being here has changed me. At first, I wanted to run away. Then I wanted to stay. Now, I don’t know what to think.

This world is constantly evolving, moving at a faster rate than our own. Who knows what might happen in a year’s time?

That must be why Elon brought me here. He knew I’d fall in love with a beast who’d do anything to protect me. He knew I wouldn’t be afraid to nudge him further into the simulation.

What else does he know?

I don’t want to think about it. I just want to be with him. But right now, we’re running through a shape-shifting, mechanical realm, and it’s definitely collapsing in on us.

With every step taken, another door closes behind us. I can feel the wind brush against my back as one nearly catches me, almost closing me into this realm for good.

Finally, we reach the end of the tunnel. A glass door opens outwards. Light streams inside, and I quickly realize we’re looking at the way back inside the regular simulation. Back where we came from.

There’s the cabin in the distance.

The only problem is that this rogue is leading us right into a pack of cultist’s hands.

Some wear blood on their faces, a sign of murderous consecration. Others bear arms and spikes, their faces covered by clay masks and crudely designed cloth veils. They’re waiting for our entrance, but if we stop running, this realm will close in on us for good.

I draw a breath and dive through the door. Immediately, we are met by the onslaught of cultists, a blur of shapes coming straight for us.

“Run,” Kalxor growls.

I know I should listen, but I can’t run as these men gather to kill him. I don’t care if he isn’t real. He’s real to me.

The rogue man grabs my collar, pulling me back, locking my arms, so I can’t fight this.

Frantic, I lunge, but I don’t get far. I am easily held, and I’m forced to watch the cultists surround Kalxor. I blink, and one of them knocks the butt of his rifle against his cheek. Kalxor falls, and they kick him down. The leader combs through the crowd, brandishing a blade. He holds it in front of his chest, ushering a prayer met with wholehearted support.

And then he sinks the blade into Kalxor’s abdomen, and I feel it as though he stabbed me. He stands back, and I watch the blood begin to pool and trickle down Kalxor’s muscles. My alien
