When one of Aria's best friends, Charlotte Viper, disappears, life careens, and she plunges into the bottomless pit of her past, of her own mind. What if the Neverseen wasn't the real villain? How would she find her way out, when the only map she had was unfinished, and the world she once knew was but an illusion?
She's lost in a labyrinth of deceit, deception, love, and hate, and there's not a hero to save her.
This is no fairytale.
This is a Keeper of the Lost Cities Fanfiction. (Yes, I put myself in it. But I'm cooler as a fictional character.)
--This takes place sometime after Flashback. I have not read Legacy, Unlocked, or Stellarlune, so please do not spoil.
*Disclaimer* Characters such as Sophie, Keefe, Fitz, Dex, and many others belong entirely to Shannon Messenger. Several others, including Aria, Fizzy, Kate, Charlotte, etc, belong to me.
In the future, everyone who's bitten by a zombie turns into one... until Diane doesn't. Seven days later, she's facing consequences she never imagined.
* * * * *
As civilization collapses under a relentless wave of zombies, Diane and her friends take shelter in a military base. However, while she's rescuing another survivor, Diane gets bitten by one of the monsters. She hides it and runs away, knowing she only has days left to live.
But she soon discovers she isn't turning into a zombie - she's turning into something else.

Excerpt:
I looked up and stared. My reflection looked back at me in the mirror of the dark room. My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow.
Glowing eyes were not normal.
Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal.
What was I then? For that, I had no answer
