NTR Rogue in the Apocalypse-Chapter 187: Amber’s Story

Amber’s steps were unsteady, and she almost collapsed to the ground, but John caught her just in time.

Stephanie’s eyes were wide with shock and horror. She rushed towards Amber and checked her pulse.

"She’s still breathing, but we need to take her back to the base quickly," Stephanie said as she pressed her ear to her chest, listening for her heartbeat.

"Let’s go grab my bike, we’ll use the Vanishing Orb," John said and Stephanie nodded.

John carried Amber in his arms, her body frail and weak, and they teleported back to base with the Vanishing Orb.

Once there, John rushed her to the medical wing and waited in the lounge with Stephanie.

"What do you think happened to her?" Stephanie asked, sipping her steaming cup of coffee.

"I don’t know, but nothing good. I thought she’d be with June and Laura. Who knows what she was doing there alone."

John leaned back on the couch and sighed. There was always some complication.

’I hope I don’t have to add someone to the rescue list,’ John thought to himself.

They waited for what felt like an eternity, and finally, one of the healers came out of the room.

"She’s going to be okay, but she needs some rest. I’m not sure about the extent of the damage and we don’t have the equipment to determine that," he said solemnly.

"I understand. Let me know if anything happens."

The healer nodded, and he walked back into the room.

"At least she’s alive," John sighed, relief flooding his chest.

"I wonder what happened to her," Stephanie mused.

"We’ll have to ask her once she wakes up," John said.

Amber slowly opened her eyes, and she blinked a few times before sitting up. Her eyes widened when she saw John and Stephanie.

"John? Stephanie?"

"Hello, Amber, how are you feeling?" John asked softly.

"I’m feeling better. Can you get me some water?"

"Sure, I’ll get the water." Stephanie smiled and disappeared.

"Amber, what happened? Where’s June and Laura?"

"I got separated from them, I don’t know where they are."

"What happened?"

"We had found shelter close to the outskirts of the city... we wanted a place where we could be away from Theodore, the Luminars and the monsters, but that was just a pipe dream," Amber whispered, her voice wavering.

"Why? What happened?"

"We found a farmhouse that was abandoned, it had been burned down, but it was a good spot to camp and we had supplies. There was no one around for miles, we had nothing to worry about, but we were wrong."

Amber closed her eyes and leaned back on the pillow, her body sinking into the bed.

"Laura and June were out hunting, and I was alone. I was happy and finally felt at peace, but then a convoy of soldiers arrived. They were dressed in black uniforms and had black masks. They were not the usual soldiers and their faces were covered, and they had no insignias."

Amber shifted uncomfortably, but she continued.

"They dragged me out of the house, and I fought back, but they overpowered me. They tied me up and threw me in the back of a truck. June and Laura came running and they tried to save me, but..."

Tears welled up in her eyes and John placed a hand on her shoulder.

"It’s okay, Amber, we’ll find June and Laura."

"No, it’s not okay, John. Nothing is okay, and we can’t just keep chasing shadows. I lost them, and I will never stop blaming myself for it."

"You don’t know that, Amber. Just trust me, please, and we’ll find them together."

Amber nodded and leaned forward, burying her face in John’s chest, her body shaking with sobs.

"I’m so scared, John," she whispered.

"I’m here for you, Amber, don’t worry," John said soothingly.

They sat like that for a while, and finally, Amber pulled away.

"What happened after June and Laura tried to save you?"

"They failed," Amber shrugged, but tears were welling up in her eyes.

She sighed and continued, "they fired at them, and they had no chance. I screamed for them to run, but they were stubborn and came running to save me."

"I’m sorry, Amber. This must be hard."

"Yeah, it is," she mumbled, "but that’s not all."

"After I heard the gunshots, something big crashed through the trees. It was a monster, but it wasn’t a regular monster. It was a mutated monster with wings and sharp teeth."

"A mutated monster? You mean it had features of multiple species?" John asked.

"Yeah, it did, and it attacked the soldiers. I don’t know what happened, but it decimated them. I managed to untie myself and grab a gun, I managed to slip out. I tried to look for June and Laura, but I couldn’t find them, John."

"I understand, Amber. What can you tell me about the convoy of soldiers and the monster that attacked?"

"I don’t know much about the convoy. The monster had wings and looked like a hybrid of different monsters, but it was still a beast."

"Anything else?"

"Hmmm... Oh, there was a woman that was leading the convoy. She was dressed in black leather and she had red hair. She was commanding and terrifying, but I don’t know anything about her."

"Okay, Amber, that’s enough. We’ll find June and Laura, I promise. Why don’t you get some rest? You must be tired," John said softly.

"I will. Thank you, John."

John stepped out of the room and found Stephanie waiting with her back against the wall, a bottle of water in her hand.

"How is she?"

"She’s doing better, but we need to find June and Laura fast and put together a rescue mission."

"What about Julia?"

"I’m still going to look for Julia, someone else will look for Laura and June."

"Okay, what can I do to help?"

"You can stay here and protect the base. Things are changing and we need to be careful, but I don’t want to alarm the others."

"Okay, I understand."

"Thank you," John said and kissed her forehead. The downtime was over. He needed to find Julia and he needed to find her fast. Whatever that monster was, John thought the Luminars had something to do with it and they needed to stand their ground. For that, they needed Mikal’s experience.
