"where is she?" Zayn asked, his worries getting the better of him, she was nowhere to be found and he wanted her to be
"Find her I don't care how many of you have to die, find her!!"he ordered, guards headed out into the vast open forest of the eastern regions while they searched for humanities last hope
"I'm sorry......I couldn't fulfill my promise.......it all my fault.....now I have to right my wrongs"Zayn stood a pistol in hand, he stared at the head scientist and cruel dictator of a colony with potential to be humanities last fortress
"I'm sick and tired of your bullshit" he pulled the trigger.

The room after the huge door was well lit with a huge table placed at the center of the room. In the front seat sat a man with a wine glass in hand, he welcome them.
"Oh you've gotten through hell to get here haven't you?"he asked standing, the then took some steps getting closer to Chloe and as soon as he got close enough he gave her a hug, a tight one at that and with a satisfied look in his face he pulled away walking back to his seat. Chloe was confused she needed answers and could no longer wait for it, same went for Zack and su,
"What the hell is going on?, we were told we would get answers when we get here"Zack asked but was instantly hushed by the man on the seat
"I never asked for you to speak lad........, you have questions I know that.., but before I answer any of it I want you all to take a sit, eat to your fill then we can chat after that, how does that sound?"he proposed lightly hitting a tiny piece of metal with the spoon he held at hand, as he did the huge doors were open and lots of food were brought in, in no time to whole table was filled and they were asked to eat to their fill. Zack for one didn't feel like eating but this meeting seemed to be getting nowhere unless they adhered to instructions the man in front has given to them.
It took sometime but they were now done eating, without much hesitation Zack brought up the topic "why are we here?.... we've done all you requested of us, now we need answers"Zack said, he needed answers and quickly, these guys could be hostile but he had no clue because they seemed to be leaving them in the dark.
Letting out a sigh the man stood, although he had wanted to stay longer before answering any questions they had, they were right..., it didn't make sense for a total stranger to just help them out, especially after the fall.
"Light chuckles* I wanted to savor the moment......, it know what you're all thinking why is he helping us out?...who the hell is he and why the hell are we here? *Exhales*..............., well let's start with an introduction..., I am Zayn mctony and Chloe's only surviving family"Zayn introduced.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
This sudden reveal took the trio by surprise, they couldn't believe what they had heard, Chloe was in much of a greater shock than Zack and su, her heart racing like she has seen a ghost
"What!!!?"Zack asked although it took everything he had to do so, Chloe just stood there stareing at Zayn "did he really speak the truth?.......was he really a relative if hers, what the hell was going on," her thoughts multiplying by the minute not giving her enough time to process any information at all
"I know......it must all sound far fetched but it's true Chloe..., I am your mother's brother......twin brother to be more precise..., I worked with her before the the fall and also stayed with you after the fall, before your escape from our old facility....."Zayn explained walking close to Chloe and placing his hand on her shoulder
"I've been searching for you for a long time now Chloe......a very long time now"he continued
"That's bullshit, not once did I ever see you in that facility, I wasn't treated with care, I was kept there as a guinea pig, a lab subject for a totally made up cause such as finding a cure"Chloe yelled angrily, her emotions getting the better of her while she watched Zayn whose saddened expression would make anyone see him as a victim.
"I know it might seem that way but I was there with you every single day, you were kept in the white room.....a room only I had access to, a room you couldn't see anything happening outside from within..., I designed that room to keep you safe....yes I couldn't stop them from experimenting on you but I fu the best I could, I stopped them from killing you and taking away your brain for more study........*smiles painfully*............., I promised your mom to keep you safe when it all happened, everyone thought she died instantly after the blast but no, I had the opportunity of meeting her on last time before she took her final breath"he explained taking his hands off her shoulder and walking back to his seat
"When you escaped the facility, a nurse helped you right?.....who do you think that was and by whose orders did she do so?........, it was Lisa"Zayn continued, with the end of his sentence Chloe suddenly figured it out, Lisa's voice sounded familiar because she was the nurse who took care of her and helped her escape from the facility twleve years ago, how couldn't she realize that? Choke thought Zayn finally getting her attention.
"That's why her voice felt so familiar....., it......, it all makes sense now"Chloe muttered
The room remained silent, Chloe could hardly speak, this was aoot for her to process, zayn said nothing.. he could only watch as she contemplated within her , he knew she needed time to go through all those information and he was willing to give her the time she needed to. Zack and su just sat watching although he had questions to ask, he didn't want to interrupt this little family reunion.
"We're they really family?"he questioned standing
"I'll leave you two to chat...."Zack said standing, "su c'mon........, let's head out"Zack pouted walking out the door, su behind him.
Chloe knew exactly why Zack left although she didn't want him to, she had wanted to speak with him about what he said earlier, she would've stopped him from moving but why didn't she, she questioned letting out a sigh and placing a palm on her chin
"I love you Chloe*"
"I need to know"Chloe huffed her chin turning all red, she had felt something unfamiliar when he said that, was that love or was that just her being attracted to his amazing features?, she needed to know if what she felt was the real deal or not
.
.
"Why did I say all that earlier?"Zack asked walking down the long illuminated halls with fancy interior "I love you chloe*"
"Was I just being desperate?......or selfish?......, did I really want an answer that fast?"Zack asked su could tell Zack had a lot in his mind as his express suddenly turned serious, it only did that when he thought, she had observed that much with the time they spent together but she could only watch while they both headed back to the their rooms.

* UNDERNEATHS EUROPA'S CELLER*
"They let and infected in didn't they?" A man asked he had europa's uniform on, he was a soldier without a doubt, his friend behind him was too.
"This celler gets creepier each time I'm here, gives me more than Chills" his conrade complained
"Fuck it Wilfred, you always have to bring that up again for the third time now....."he complained
"Something ain't right Joe........, I can feel it...,"Fred complained again but Joe couldn't actually find a way to believe his friend, he said that each time they were posted at the celler.
"For the hundredth time Fred.....it's all bullshit, and if I here you say that one more time..........."how paused for a second after turning around, Fred wasn't behind him anymore...., where had he gone?
"Fred!....Fred!!"Joe yelled out
"Man this shit ain't funny, c'mon out"he called out but got no reply "Fred where the hell are you man"Joe said again searching every single cell in the celler.
Making a quick turn into one of the celler he found Fred stareing at the wall
"C'mon man, fuck it...you almost gave me a scare there"Joe smiled walking in and reaching out to his friend, but what he placed his hand on wasn't Fred, it was something else..., something hungry for flesh.
