2024-10-29 19:42:56Mother White knew the passages in this building frontward and backward. It was almost as if she’d been here her whole life, like she’d never left to go serve her country in all of those other towns. As she headed down the passages near the men’s cafeteria, stepping over bodies and around pools of blood, she instinctively knew that what she was looking for wasn’t far away.
The girl was weak. She’d have to be after all of that time in a prison cell with very little food and water. It was a wonder any of them had survived honestly. They’d lost their usefulness months ago, when the Rebellion was over, and the only people who could give them the answers and the results they needed were the ones who’d actually escaped, not the idiots who’d failed and been left behind.
And this girl was the ringleader of all of it. How h

The door was right ahead of her.All Rain needed to do was push through that door and head around the side of the medical building, run around the side, and make her way back to camp. Hell, she even knew how to get there if she cut right through the woods and swing around so that there was little to no chance of any of the Mothers catching up to her.She had the thumb drive in her pocket. That was all they needed, other than just killing as many Mothers as possible. Once she got back to camp, the commanders could call the rest of their forces back, and then, they could bomb the hell out of the building, killing everyone and destroying them once and for all. Without this building, the Mothers wouldn’t be able to survive. At least, that was the impression Rain had gotten from how they were defending it.So why w

He needed to find Rain.Adam ran back to IW--again--not thinking about where he was going there, only that he was going. He had to find Rain before something awful happened to her. But he had no idea where she was at or how he was going to find her.Hopefully by now, Lightning had gotten all of the information they needed off of the computer and made her way out of the building. He hadn’t seen her anywhere, though. It was possible she might’ve gone a different direction.Wouldn’t Rain have gone with Lightning? If so, surely she would’ve gone the same way that he went, knowing that it was the most direct way to get back to camp.Not necessarily. There were some other places she could’ve gone, and there could be logical reasons why she m

“You’re going to have to stay back, soldier.” The paramedics had told Mist at least twenty times that she had to stay back, but it hadn’t registered the first nineteen times, and it didn’t this time either. Blinded by her tears, she stood at the foot of the cot that Walt was lying on, watching the medical staff do everything they could do to stop the bleeding.It was too late. The words kept playing over and over in her head. “Damn it,” she muttered under her breath, not for the first time. Why did he have to be so stubborn? Why couldn’t he have listened to Rain? She was a medical student--a good one at that! He could’ve stayed behind after they escorted the women out. He could’ve gotten help before he fell over.He’d lost so much blood.She’d h

The bullet fire in the distance seemed to be getting louder. That made Rain think she was going the right direction. It seemed like all of the action was going on in the center of the building, and that’s where she was headed now.The Bridge. Finding it was going to be difficult because she had never been there before. She had the idea, though, that she needed to go to the medical ward, though. While she’d never seen any indication that The Bridge was located near the incubators where the fetuses were kept, it just made sense that it would be there because the majority of people transported over to the other side, whatever the hell that happened to be, were the fetuses.As Rain hurried down the hallways, headed back to the medical ward where she’d been earlier that day, she had to wonder why they would even bother to take the fetuses over The

“Where are you taking me?”Adam couldn’t help but ask the question as the Mother dragged him along the hallways, a gun to his head. It was awfully convenient for her that all of the fighting was going on in other parts of the building so that the Quebecian troops were all pulled away from where she was forcing him to march in front of her.“Shut your mouth, 24C, and walk,” she said.“Or what? You’re going to shoot me? I find that unlikely.” The nozzle of the gun was practically buried in his brain stem, she had it shoved up so hard against him, her other arm wrapped around his midsection. She was strong, but he knew he could overpower her. It was just a matter of how fast she could pull that trigger.Something told hi

The glow coming from the gap where the door was open was soothing in a way Rain couldn’t quite grasp. Something about the soft light coming from beneath and around the door made her feel safe. It made her feel warm.She still didn’t want to open the door, though.Rain took a deep breath and put her hand on the door, knowing she had no other choice but to go inside. She needed to see who it was that had summoned her here; she needed to know what the other person wanted.The door was about a foot open already. It took no effort whatsoever to push it the rest of the way.The light was bright when she walked in, but not so bright that she had to squint. She was shocked that The Bridge was actually a bridge and not just some sort of slaughterhouse, or a room with

The words that slipped from between Mother White’s lips were no surprise to Rain. She’d already surmised what the woman was going to tell her before she’d gotten the statement out.But that didn’t make it any easier to accept.She didn’t want the Military Mother to see her cry. She had to keep the tears that were blinding her from falling.Rather than insist that Mother White was lying when Rain knew she wasn’t, she asked, “How do you know that?”“I know,” White said, her face exuding confidence. “And if your friend had managed to get out with that stupid external hard drive, you’d be able to look for yourself--assuming you would have gotten out of here alive in this alternate reality.&rd
Rain's Rebellion Chapter 145
Rain didn’t want to follow Mother White’s instructions. Not even a little bit. Standing there without her weapons, Rain felt completely vulnerable and unable to protect herself or Adam. It was clear that he was in a lot of pain, and the longer White continued to hold him in her firm grasp, the more uncomfortable it would be.She had no choice but to follow the woman’s instructions. Otherwise, Adam would definitely die, and even though she didn’t trust Mother White enough to keep her word and not shoot him anyway, this was the only chance she had of him making it.Overhead, she heard a voice say, “Five minutes until evacuation.” The robotic female voice made her wonder if that meant that the other Mothers had already started to leave the facility. If that were the case, the Quebecian forces would be able to pour into the cente

The view out the kitchen window was beautiful. Snow capped mountains in the distance, open fields full of green grass and brightly colored flowers in the foreground, with plenty of trees and bushes throughout. No matter how many days Rain stood in that room, doing what some might think as mundane tasks, like doing the dishes or cooking dinner, she would never, ever get tired of that view. To Rain Blue, that view meant freedom. “Mama! Come outside and play catch with us!” her daughter, Misty, shouted as she came flying through the backdoor. “Dad is gonna teach Wally how to throw a curveball!” “Oh, wow!” Rain said, drying her hands on a dishtowel as she turned to see her daughter’s bright red hair fly by on the other side of the table. Misty was a little blur and had been the entire four years of her life. Luckily, her cousin, Wally, who lived next door with hi

Rain stepped inside the large circular room along with about thirty of her fellow soldiers from the Quebecian army. She glanced around at the faces of her fellow soldiers and saw the confusion and uncertainty on all of their faces. Adam was just a few people away from her. They caught eyes for a moment, but then Rain focused on the center of the room where President Violet was standing.All around her, large boxes marked as explosives were stacked on top of one another, the highest stacks coming about to her waist. She was a short woman, with short dark hair and a swath of purple in the front, sort of like Mother White’s stripe, though Rain had assumed that that was natural.Next to Violet was a pillar of some sort with what looked like a golden button on top. Wires from each of the boxes were wound around one another, creating one thick wire that was con

Being back in the air was a sensation Rain couldn’t quite get used to, but this mission was different. The first time she had flown, the flight had been long, and she’d been nervous for far more reasons than she was now. This time, she was on a small plane with a select group of soldiers who were being moved to the front to help complete a mission that was almost done. All eight of the soldiers on board the flight had recovered enough from their wounds during various other attacks that they could now go back into active duty. Rain was ready to storm the fort where President Violet was reportedly hiding, and she was glad to have Adam by her side, not only on the flight but also when they landed.It was loud inside of the plane, so no one could truly talk, and despite their relationship status, Rain didn’t dare touch Adam with her hand while they were in uniform and active. But the fact tha
Rain's Rebellion Chapter 153
Weeks of healing for Rain, Adam, and Mist brought their bodies back to full strength, or close to it. For Mist, there would be no returning to the battlefield, not now that she knew she was pregnant. Rain and Adam both wanted to return to the ranks and help defeat the rest of the Mothers that were still fighting near the center of Michaelanburg. With every passing day, their ranks dropped, but as long as President Violet and her cabinet were still at large, the Quebecians would not back off.Saying goodbye to Mist had been difficult, but Rain was also relieved that she no longer had to worry about the safety of her best friend. Fighting alongside the woman she loved most in the world and the man she wanted to marry had been weighty, and she was thankful at least one of those people was now out of harm’s way for good.Rain had different roommates in

Adam was awake when Rain made it back to the room they were sharing together. He’d had multiple surgeries over the last several days, so he’d been asleep a lot, but she was pleasantly surprised at how well he was recovering.Cheryl helped Rain back into her bed and put her leg up on a device that would help it to heal. The technology was a little behind what Rain was used to in Michaelanburg, but she trusted the doctors and the rest of the medical team that had been working on her since the attack.“How’s Mist?” Adam asked with a smile on his face. He was propped up so that she could see him. Rain adjusted her pillows and used the button to move the back of her bed up a bit so she could more easily see him. “She’s good. And you’ll never guess what she found out before her surgeries.”

Walking was hard. It had been a few days since Rain had gotten out of bed. After several surgeries on her leg, she knew that all of the bones were fused back together with a substance just as hard as the bone itself, so it would hold her, but it was still scary.She had a walker to lean on, just in case she lost her balance, and one of the medics from Quebec was alongside her. All of the injured had been moved back to a building in Oklasaw. It wasn’t under the mountain like Judea, the town that Seth had grown up in, but it was still a quaint little village, and Rain was glad they’d get a few weeks there to recover.She just wished she could get back to normal more quickly.She’d seen Adam quite a bit since they were moved, but she hadn’t seen Mist. Her friend was still in pretty bad shape and

Adam had no idea how he was alive.He remembered handing Rain off to Seth, and then, the next thing he remembered, the world was on fire, and the sky was falling down on him. Every single cell in his body was in agony. He couldn’t move, couldn’t lift a hand to try and push his way out, and the smoke was enough to keep him from even wanting to suck in a breath. He was certain he was about to die.Adam had let himself drift on then, feeling like it would be better to die unconscious than to be awake while he was breathing his last.But here he was now, lying in a hospital bed in a makeshift hospital near the Oklasaw border. All around him, doctors and medical students were hustling around, doing their best to help the injured.He had an IV in his arm and knew t
Rain's Rebellion Chapter 149
The sensation that she’d been moving had jarred Rain awake for a few moments, but she hadn’t been able to open her eyes, and then, she’d suddenly been aware of the fact that she wasn’t quite as hot, and the air that she was sucking into her lungs wasn’t burning her from the inside out anymore.But she had failed at opening her eyes, so she had no idea what the situation was. The thought that she could’ve died and was now in whatever world came beyond this one had crossed her mind. She didn’t believe that The Bridge was a way to start one’s life over, but she did think there had to be something after life as they knew it.She certainly believed in death.People shouting to one another registered in her mind as she tried to open her eyes again. She could feel something s

Where the hell had she gone?Adam had ridden the motorbike back to camp to deliver the message to the commanders. Luckily, he’d found one fairly quickly upon reaching the forest. He’d told the man, Lt. Brason, what Mother White had told them and then handed over the thumb drive. The commander had attempted to tell Adam to stay there, that he was done, and while it would’ve been a relief to go find his tent and take a nap, Adam couldn’t possibly do that. He wouldn’t be able to rest until he was certain that Rain and the others were back in camp safely.He had immediately turned the bike around and sped back toward the medical center. Even before the building came into view, he saw soldiers running from that direction. That let him know that Lt. Brason and the others had taken him seriously and were in the process of evacuating the b
