End Time's Hoarding Master Returns (Hiding.Billions.of.Supplies.In.Space)

2. Rebirth

For some reason, after her death, her soul unconsciously floated and stayed around. She watched everything unfold, like a movie theater.

How natural disasters and zombie virus, ruined the land. How viciousness and greed, killed countless lives. How these phenomenon, slowly became the new normal. How people accepted their fate.

She also saw how Xander became a reaper. He killed everyone in her base. Traitors, her deceitful family, the two cheating bastards, survivors, prisoners, officials, no one was spared.

After his killing spree, he gave her a grand and beautiful funeral, and buried her in her favorite garden. She saw how he alone, built a small but beautiful house beside the garden.

He destroyed the walls and buildings in the surrounding, and tirelessly extended a flower landscape around her garden. It was beautiful but sad.

She watched as he built an exaggerated high walls around that area, and he never allow anyone, besides him, to step inside.

There, he does his affairs as a base leader. Send and receive holographic meetings and approve and decline order requests.

He is not much of a talker, but whenever he sit on her reclining chair, he'll start blubber, telling her stories of the past, his daily activities, until he blankly stared at the sky, while saying how much he missed her.

She saw how the original strong and healthy man, grow old years after years. How he isolate himself from the world.

Is it because of me?

Maybe.. maybe he liked me before?

Those questions ran on my mind again and again, but still left unanswered. Until the day he took his weakening breath, he softly whispered my name with longing and strong love.

This man must have loved me so much...

No, his love did not die down even after decades.

I was still accompanying him, as he took his dying breath, when a strong suction forcefully pulled me away...

Is it the end?

Why..do I still want to stay with him.

If only I knew how he feels.

If only I listened to half of his words.

If only I could go back, before anything happened..

If only I could go back...

As I open my eyes, I was stunned to see my surroundings.

Beautiful sun lights from the windows, sophisticated and elegant ceiling and walls. Familiar decorations in the room, and clean air scent.

No rancid smell in the air. No zombie roars outside. No sticky feeling of dirt on the body.

I sat up immediately. Held my hands infront of me. A pair of jade hands, with white and slippery skin, slender and reddish fingers, smooth and soft palms.

No callous and disgusting scars, she got after nonstop fightings and practices.

She ran infront of a mirror. She saw her soft brown, wavy hair, framing small and gorgeous face. The scars she accumulated after protecting her loved ones, and ruined half of her face, is gone.

An uncontrollable sob exited her pinkish, thin lips. She vented all her grievance and unfair past. It took her a whole hour of sobbing and cursing, to finally calm down.

She stared at her now red face, red foxy eyes, red pointy nose and pouting lips. Down to her long and curvy body. She felt a  self satisfaction, she had long forgotten.

But the weakness of her untrained and vulnerable body makes her uncomfortable. She stood up and took a shaky steps. In five six steps, she arrived infront of her bed. She sat down and rummaged the bedside table cabinet.

He found her phone and swiped it up to open. January xx, xxx4. Her pupils dilated as her heart palpitates.

I went back.. I really went back!

One year before everything started.
One year before the Apocalypse.

Her emotions are already calm by now.

ding ding ding..

A familiar ringtone played. A strong killing intent bursted out of her! Who is it, if not her best friend and sister whom she trusted wholeheartedly but got betrayed by her, at the end.

She stabilized her mood as she picked up the call.

"Wooooh, Athena, why did you answer just now? Anthony and the family are worried sick. How do you feel? How's your fever?"

A soft voice could be heard from the other side of the phone. If she had not died and got reborn, she'll probably be moved by this concerned voice. A self-mocking sneer shows on her face

"Athena? Anyway. I hope you're doing great. Let's go on a shopping, to make you feel better. Okay? How about later? I saw a new design released by blah blah blah..."

She rolled her eyes, as she listens. If she remembers correctly, last night was her twenty-first birthday. Halfway through the party, she felt like her world was spinning. She excused herself and went back to her room, and told her best friend to entertain the visitors because she's not feeling well.

Her body then, became hot and itchy. She locked her room and took an icy cold bath the whole night, causing her to have a fever the next morning.

That morning, the same thing happened, her best friend called her and persuaded her to go shopping and go to a charity party on weekend.

She was still unwell, but she couldn't ignore her friend's pleading, so she agreed. The whole morning, she was secretly vomiting, her friend seemed to not notice her abnormality and just keeps on requesting her to buy her the latest fashion shoes.

Now that she think about it, it's not that she did not notice, but actually ignored it and enjoyed her misery, secretly. Another ugly sneer was painted on her beautiful face.

How stupid was she to not see these signs.

If she's not wrong, after inviting her to a charity ball, she was fed with another aphrodisiac drug, and was dragged to the old rich men to introduce.

She knows her body, so before things go out of hand, she ran upstairs, and hid under a massive bed, before passing out.

After waking up, she saw herself on a bed, covered with thick and soft blanket. With wash basin and damp towel on her forehead.

She was actually lucky to meet her mysterious benefactor. Not only he didn't touch her, but also took care of her.

"Anna. I don't feel good today, but maybe I could go to the charity ball, on Saturday" she said. Gritting her teeth to stop herself from lashing out.

"Why... but..oh, anyway, as long as you agree to go on the charity party, I could reluctantly forgive you, but don't forget to buy me that shoes, pretty please" she coquettishly said.

She's probably desperate to set her up again after last night's failed attempt. Since she's looking for death, let's play around with her. She couldn't touch and kill her yet. She still have one year.

Patience, Athena..

"Hmm.." without hearing another screechy complains from another side, she hung up the phone decisively.

I hope you're ready for my revenge, Anna..

Not only her, but her subordinates, family and lover too. She hopes they'll give her an enjoyable revenge...
