John was shaking his head, swinging his arms in wild movements as he protested and tried to defend his actions. I almost snorted at one point, as he’d almost made it sound as if I’d told him to go. The fact that he thought I was a Goddess to Azrael’s supposed Godhood almost made me snicker.

John turned to Azrael, and grabbed Azrael’s forearm, as if to drive his point home, but cried out as everyone else took a big step backwards. A collective gasp spread across the group. John screamed as he hugged himself around his waist and coughed violently. My heart sped up, and nausea rose to the back of my throat as what was happening played out.

I watched from the hallway as John gasped, spit blood, and screamed as if he was being torn apart from the inside out. I screamed a warning as black spider veins webbed over his face. Every pair of eyes in the room—other than John’s, whose eyes seeped blood—looked at me. I stepped back, turned, and ran back to the bedroom, because what the fuck!

I started piling furniture against the door. I heard a knock and pushed the couch against the door, then the vanity, and then, of course, the wall art, because every pound counted. I saw Azrael rip the hatch of a tank off yesterday like it was a cap of a soda bottle; how much easier would it be for him to get through my pathetic barricade? I paced the room; my mind raced and yet John continued to scream in pain. The sound echoed through the house. They were all watching him die! What sick fucking freak reality had I just entered into? I felt like I was in an episode of the Twilight Zone.

I hadn’t waited around to see what happened, because hello, a motherfucking virus wiped out most of the world. Were they out of their ever-loving minds? They weren’t afraid? They didn’t seem to be afraid.

“Emma,” Azrael called from the other side of the door.

Even though his tone was calm, I jumped, turned towards the door, and felt my stomach flip. John had touched him, and then John had spewed blood, everywhere! He’d touched Azrael and started to die! You couldn’t do that in reality, and yet, he had! Did he knowingly allow John to touch him, knowing he’d die? No. It had moved faster than any disease I’d ever seen, and we’d seen a lot of it while watching the cameras my father installed. We’d watched the CDC bring people in, and days later they were dead. They carried them out and burned them near another set of cameras that had been installed just outside of Newport.

Days. Not minutes. John had gone silent, which my guess was that his silence meant he’d died. He’d gone from healthy to the end stage of the virus in less than five minutes.

The door knob turned and I watched it, biting my nails as I tried to do the math for what the fuck had just happened.
