Rebirth in the Apocalypse: Third Time's a Charm



I shooed all the guys out of my room, not willing to deal with all of them right now.

Getting out of bed, I disappeared into my space for a long, hot shower. I think I washed my hair four times to get out all of the saltwater crap that was in it and then started to scrub my skin until it was raw. I was never getting into the ocean ever again. I didn't care if it would save the entire human race; my two feet were remaining firmly on the dry ground.

"What happened to you wanting a yacht?" asked Violence as she strolled into my room and went to go sit on my bed. Her red dress fanned out around her in an effortless beauty. I would fully admit to being jealous.

"I wanted a yacht?" I asked, confused. My memory was a bit sketchy when it came to the water and submarine, but I don't remember wanting a yacht.

"Well, Crazy, Psycho, and Perky wanted a yacht, and they might have put a bug in Liu Wei's ear," shrugged Violence as she ran her hand over my white comforter.

"Might not be so bad now that I think about it," I replied with a shrug as I walked over to my closet and thought about what I wanted to wear.

"Jeans and a red sweater," shouted Violence, and I chuckled my reply. Finding a comfortable pair of skinny jeans, I paired it with a maroon sweater and brown knee-high boots. Taking the towel off of my head, I finger combed my hair and let it fall where it wanted.

"Want to tell me why you are here?" I asked as I went to sit down in one of the oversized white chairs in my room. Pulling on the pink fluffy blanket, I looked at my alter ego.

"I assume that you have met Bin An Sha," sighed Violence as she picked at her skirt and smoothed it out a few times. I had never seen her like that.

"I have," I replied cautiously, not knowing where this was going. "Is there something wrong with him? Should I have him stay away from me and the guys? Because I would have to admit, from the few minutes I spent with him, he seemed to have fit in really well."

"Are you planning on adding him to your reverse harem?" asked Violence, a smirk on her face. I laughed lightly. "Isn't that what you are here to determine? Where did he fit in?" I asked in return. I was beginning to understand Violence more and more, and as much as she was perfectly fine bathing in the blood of her enemies, she also had a soft spot for my men.

"If you bring him in, your life will become a lot more complicated," said Violence as she leaned back and laid down on my bed, her legs dangling over the side.

"You mean it can get more complicated? Because I was pretty sure that hooking up with the Four Horsemen of the apocalypse was about as complicated as things could get," I replied with a smirk, calling up a cup of hot chocolate and wrapping my hands around it.

"Oh, Sweetheart, it can get a Hell of a lot more complicated. Bin An Sha comes with major Mommy issues," said Violence as she sat up and called up a cup of hot chocolate for herself.

"Mommy issues?" I asked, confused.

"Yeah, his mother hates you for stealing her baby boy more than anyone else in any of the known worlds," chuckled Violence as she took a sip of the chocolatey goodness.

"Funny, I don't remember stealing anyone," I replied, rolling my eyes. The guy literally ran into my hotel room on his own.

"Yeah, he was always kind of that creepy stalker that followed you around everywhere. However, his mother didn't see it that way and thought that you kidnapped him and turned him against her. Yeah, she has a hard-on for you ever since," chuckled Violence. "But either way, you will need to be prepared for what is to come."

"And I don't suppose you are going to tell me who his mother is?" I said with a slight smirk. I had the feeling if she said her name out loud, I would be able to figure out who I was. And apparently, that is a huge no-no.

"Nice try. But if you want my suggestion?" asked Violence, taking another sip from her cup. I tried not to laugh when I saw what was written on it. I would have to use that one next time.

"I am pretty sure that you are going to tell me your suggestion whether I want to hear it or not," I said with a shrug, not really caring either way. Now that Wang Chao didn't seem to care so much about the military or even where we were going next, I was going to go literally wherever my heart desired.

The problem was, I had no idea where that was.

"Go to City H and let the guys find you a yacht. Then go back to Elysian Fields and plant your crops for the year. You will be much happier once you get all that done, and the rest of us will be happier with you happy. Then, take a few months' vacation. Come home, train your men, and go rescue that healer," suggested Violence as she looked over me from the rim of her cup.

"Then, when everything is said and done. Find your home on Earth and let me get some much needed sleep," she continued, and for the first time, I could see the dark circles under her eyes.

"Are you okay?" I asked, concerned as I put my mug on the table beside me and got up to walk over to her. "If this is too much, you can relax and sleep. I can take care of it from here."

"And if you shatter again?" she asked, her eyebrow raised in a skeptical look.

"Then I am too stupid to be put back together, and you can be the main personality in our next life," I chuckled. I understood where it was that she was coming from, but you could only hold someone's hand for so long. I was stronger than I was in my past lives; I had my men by my side, I would be fine.
