_____________________________

Do you believe that one day... The earth will stop turning, the air will no longer be breathable and humanity will be condemned to wander in solitude and despair in the face of its fate, death.

 Apparently people are calling it the end of the world... I call it the beginning.

 I remember that time when I was still a child, in our house with my parents and older brother watching a film on the small TV in the living room at night, all of us sitting on the sofa that was far too narrow for the four of us, chips and popcorn on the table.

It was the first time in my life that I had discovered the possibility of an end. I, Elizabeth Wood, who believed only in fairy tales, princes charming and princesses, had discovered a dark and apocalyptic world, the kind of world where life doesn't exist and human beings are nothing but forgotten memories.

Sometimes I wonder if this life isn't worth living, I've grown up and I've understood that fairy tales don't exist, how can I say that I'm over 19 now and I'm still studying hard in the hope of a better future, except...

Well, let me tell you what happened...

I was standing in front of the door leading to my appartment, I couldn't find my keys and that's perhaps the only thing that made this day different from other days. Exhausted, I sat on the floor, my back against the wall, my gaze fixed on the lift. There was a peaceful silence in the corridor, the kind of silence before a storm. only I wiished it was only a storm...

I can't really remember what happened that day, because of the shock maybe, but...

I found myself trapped in the lift, barefoot, between the 4th and 5th floors. I could hear the massacre going on in the building, the screams, the cries... It was carnage.

Once it had calmed down, I managed to get out of the lift by the exit on the roof of the cabin, but if the lift fell, I was done for. I was now on the fifth floor, walking barefoot without making a sound, but I got goose bumps when I saw the walls of the corridor, which were now painted a bloody red, the smell as fresh as ever.

The spots of blood on the floor spoke volumes about what had just happened. I crossed the hallway hoping to find somewhere to hide when I saw a door slightly open, so I didn't hesitate and went inside, closing the door behind me.

 I turn around and before I can let out a scream of astonishment, I'm slammed against the door, one hand over my mouth to stop me screaming, I open my eyes trembling with fear. In front of me is a man, his Persian blue eyes like a diamond, and then it comes back to me, he was also a resident of the building. And in fact, I was maybe in his appartement.

However, when I came to live in the building, everyone was talking about him, the girls said he was too good-looking to not have a girlfriend, and that despite his bad temper, he behaved like a gentleman.

He looked me straight in the eyes and I can promise you that I felt my heart beat faster, but it wasn't because of fear, instead it was because of his eyes that stared into my soul. 

"sshh! don't scream... i can hear them close..!" he whispers as to calm me down, he's close enough to me that our chests are touching

the tall mysterious man looks down at me behind his long eyelashes, he stares in my eyes as if he tries to look inside my soul.. after a short moment of heavy silence he whispers close to my ear, his breath makes me shiver, and I certainly don't think about his lips a few cm away from my face.

"did you saw them..? did they follow you here!?" he questions in a whisper, his low deep voice sends goosebumps in my whole body, he's still keeping me from moving, his hand on my shoulder, another on my waist.

too shocked to answer, i just nod a no with my head, our eyes never leaving each other, from fear and confusion probably.

He pulls away his hand still on my shoulder, his palm travels from my shoulder, to my shoulderblade, my back and comes to rest on the small of my back, slightly pulling my body towards him, his hands are so big that his fingers almost meet each other on my lower back. he looks in my eyes again to give his next orders in a firm cold voice "shh... then don't move, you'll stay with me"

I was so confused, so many questions in my head but i only managed to get out the stupiddest one "What was that out there ?" my voice slightly shaking from all the memories in my head.

he let go of me completly, taking a few steps back, he runs his hands on his hair out of frustration. "I don't know, it's like something out of a nightmare...people suddenly started to go crazy and attack each other, those people don't look like those we know anymore..."

there we go... the apocalypse. 

he leaned against the counter looking at me from head to toe, he noticed my bare feet, the blood in my hands. He was studying me intensily "are you hurt somewhere ?" he was about to step closer his voice almost as if... he was worried about me.

"what about if i'm hurt? why would you care you don't even know me." I said coldly, I was afraid, shocked and all the people I knew were probably dead by now. and by these harsh words of mine he just looked at me, his cold blue eyes softened, and he chuckles "you're Elizabeth Wood, the new girl" 

I look at him a bit surprised by the fact that he knows my name, "still... that doesn't prove anything" I said stubbornly but all he do is chuckle, cross his arms and step closer to me again while saying "I know in fact that you study in university, you never talk much with your neighbors which personally, I find understandable cause they have oxygen instead of a brain... should I continue?"

I was more surprised, he knew me better than myself which was kinda creepy, but somehow very attractive.

he notices the surprise on my face "What is it Elizabeth, didn't think i would pay attention ?" he said sarcasticly, then i replied "I thought you weren't the type of paying attention to people"

He chuckled lowly at my comment, his smirk never leaving his face as he watched me looking at him. 

"most people arent worth my attention..." he said with a scoff, his diamond eyes studying me with an intense gaze.

"but you.." he added, his voice lowering a bit.

me, Elizabeth Wood, finally living a fairy tale... while the world is experiencing chaos.
