Prologue

'Pod entering a new atmosphere. Hull damage Imminent' A female voice notified me.

I just woke up from my restless sleep which I spent most of it crying.

'System overload. Jet engine number 2 disabled'

I jumped in panic ran as fast as I could towards the deck furiously spamming on the button to open the door. Of course with the failing engine, all the power would be used up to maintain the lift so I will have to open it manually. I opened the hidden compartment and turned the lever clockwise which slid opened the door gracefully.

'Jet engine number 3 failure. Need to manually override'

With this velocity, it is impossible to manually restart. I desperately spam the buttons in order to maintain the lift. But nothing worked. This is it. This is how I am going to die.

'Hull damage detected. Miss your pod is going to crash if no immediate action is taken."

Tears made a barrier making my vision blurry. No, it can't be. I want to see him again. He with the gentle yet rough hand that held me when I needed him. Those loving beautiful forgiving eyes were my sinful undoing. No, I will not give up. It's risky but my only choice.

"Maria please activate the gliders," I said in an unwavering voice that surprised me.

'Yes ma'am but it will have to be activated by the lever'

With a sigh, I went to pull the lever.

'5 Km to impact'

I cursed under my breath and pulled it will all my might. And as I pulled the velocity of the fall decreased.

'Pod stabilizing'

I spat out a sigh of relief. Maybe it's going to be alright. I finally found the courage and sanity to look out the window from the deck. It was beautiful....beyond the explanation provided by words. The flora consisted of the colors green, yellow, orange, and even purple. 'Don't be surprised. This is the new world' I thought to myself. The oceans----It's like a fresh slate. No pollution, no radioactive radiation, no more natural disasters. Our children could have a new world. Children. Our child. My child with him. My child would be able to run through the field with free like the undying wind. I puffed a sigh at the thought of that fantasy.

A vibration that traveled through the pod snapped me out of that perfect dream. Gods.....is it awake?

I walk out of the deck and slowly approach the storage while taking out the taser. As I activated I a swoosh sound indicating it was charging. I slowly the door rotating the lever clockwise with my left hand to see the huge beast of a machine. It looked like a 9-foot jaguar yet not at the same time. Its limbs were tied with cords spurting from the ceiling that could send tranquilizing shots of electricity with the press of a button.

There were spikes from its back and the compartment that can summon Machine guns at will. It was a predator. Once you get on its bad side it will hunt you down until it's beyond repair. It can also fix itself which just creeps me out. Cause machines needed humans to repair. But this one didn't need one. It was a weapon.

I started to turn around when I heard the sound. I slowly turn around to find it blue lits for eyes lit up.

Gods. Please. No.

I ran toward the button to activate control shock. And I hit it with all my might nothing happened. I was confused. When I spared a glance at that thing it seem to look confused too.

The pod went sideways and I hit my head on the wall. Waves of agony went through my body. I heard a crash, and the sound of something being pried open. I desperately tried to focus my eye. I heard a whistling noise pass by my ear as I blacked out.

I open my eyes to chaos. Opened my eyes to see the backside of the ship busted open. Wait it let me......live?I stood up and ran towards the deck. No, no, no.

'50 meters to impact'

The glides have been ripped apart.

No.

Please.

No.

I sat in the chair and put on the seatbelt knowing it won't make a difference. I was already wearing a protective suit spout on the titanium-supported helmet.

'40 meters to impact'

Breath.

Breath.

Breath.

I am sorry. I am sorry. Tears burned their way as my throat closed up. I thought about the times he wrapped his arms around me. The time I went on my first date with him. Those hilarious jokes he said to lighten up my mood after a tiring day at work. What it felt like with his arms around me. He was my home.

'30 meters to impact'

I thought about the times I fought with my brother which later ended with light-hearted jokes, my loving mother with a gentle heart, my father strong, bold, and confident.

'10 meters to impact'

All is lost. There is nothing left to do.

But I love them all. Forever till the end of time if there is something for me after death.

'5 meters to impact'

Lastly, I love you, my son. My innocent child. I love you.

'1 meter to impact'

I close my eyes to wait until the new Vista reveals itself to me.
