EVREN

When I’m absolutely sure he’s gone, I open my eyes. My thoughts are swirling in my brain. I don’t know what to think. One minute, I’m a pawn, and the next, he’s holding me in the shower while I cry. Are we friends? Or is he my temporary protector? Tears trickle down my face, but I scrub them away. No more tears. I need to get out of here.

The world spins when I stand, but it settles after a few seconds. Thankfully, Arden brought my things down from my room and the lab a couple of days ago, so all I have to do is add a jacket and shoes, then find a portal. I slip my feet into some tennis shoes, then bend to carefully slide the backpack with my computer, along with the duffle, onto my right shoulder. The left one is still a bit sore.

That’s it. I’m ready to go.

A piece of paper catches my eye, and I bend down to pick it up. It’s one of the sketches for the campus. Without thinking, I tuck it into my pocket.

There’s one last thing. Closing my eyes, I place my right hand on my heart and left hand on the wall. “Theia, please accept my apology for the pain and suffering I caused the people in this sanctuary. It was never my intent to put anyone in danger, especially those under your roof. Thank you for the protection you extended to me. I’ll never forget it. I hope by leaving, you can offer sanctuary to those who need it most without any concerns my presence might cause.”

My choices certainly proved that correct. If I hadn’t intervened, John and Aurora would have died a human death, and Becca, while grieving, would still be alive.

Making my way to the elevator, I take it down to the main floor. It’s utterly silent without the staff and patrons. Everything is immaculate again, but all I see are the bodies still lying on the floor.

What did Daire say? Thirty-seven supernaturals and three humans. Forty people. Gone because of me and my experiments. No, my arrogance. Why did I think it was up to me to change the future of mankind? To save it? I totally ignored the fact that humans have adapted and saved themselves many times since their creation.

A few tears fall, and I let them coat my face in sorrow. Not for me, but for them. Lives cut short because of my actions. My hand automatically reaches up and makes the sign of blessings to help the ones who died find the peace they deserve.

Hearing a noise near the kitchen, I stride quickly to the portal. It opens when I get close, and with one last look, I step in and return to the warehouse. It spits
