The fetus would be growing by now. I had never felt my knot before, but the feeling was stronger than anticipated. Never in my life had I expelled so much seed in one woman. I had no idea how her body would take it, which meant that I needed to stick by her throughout the process.
I could sense Mia’s fear. The harsh reluctance she had felt for days was only growing. This wasn’t a good sign, especially now that she was bearing child. It was in my DNA to make sure she was safe, but we were stuck in this godforsaken ship. Luckily, I had a plan that would not only save her life but save mine in the process. It would get us out of here, and we could start anew in a place that was free.
“We can find a new home,” I said.
“We’ll talk later,” she said.
Her reluctance was contagious. It was written all over her face. This place was a ticking time bomb, a space shuttle that had slowly turned into its own wilderness or strange metallic habitat. It was time to witness the fracture, the break between two leaders, Cade and Juliana.
I saw the screens showing the extreme bloodshed. The process of unfolding had already begun.
I didn’t want to think of the mess we were walking into, but space madness was like a virus that spread throughout a crew. One person flips. Then another. More follow until the whole line finds their own set of manic habits. I couldn’t let her fall into it like the others.
I took Mia’s shoulders and forced her to understand. From above, the screams had started. For a while, we didn’t acknowledge them. Along with the pounding against glass, they grew even louder. Some of the inmates were trying to escape. Did she understand how dark this was yet?
“Earth is dead,” I said. “You might be the last ones to make it. But everyone else? They are acting like animals. They’ve lost their goddamn minds.”
She looked at me intensely and pulled away. “I can’t leave them all behind. I can’t betray the crew.”
What else could she do? I admired her loyalty, but it was not what we needed right now.
We walked down the hall, and the lights were starting to flicker. The ship had been slowly shutting down power this whole time, and now, they were on their last engine thrusts.
Pretty soon, we’d be walking in complete darkness. The people frozen within their chambers would die. All hell would break loose.
As we got closer to the cafeteria, it was pretty clear that hell had already been invited inside. Things had begun to set in for Mia. Her eyes widened. “What have I done?”
But her outburst wasn’t just a minor annoyance to her. I could sense that it was indicative of her distrust, something she had slowly built over years of combing the darkness. “Fear and betrayal work hand in hand. Use it to your advantage,” I said.
The more I walked near
