Introduction

Cecilia has always been secure in her world. A high school cheerleader, she is pretty and popular. And she dates Ryan, one of the cutest boys in her school. She leads a charmed and pampered life. Clearly everyone forgot the warnings buried deep in the quatrains of Nostradamus-- the end of days. When the world they know is destroyed, will their struggle to survive destroy their love? This new normal-- this new life-- is cruel and unpredictable and tests both of them in ways that they''ve never imagined. But it''s not the end, only the beginning, but the beginning of what?

Turning Point

Just when I was about to lose it again, someone knocked on my door. My heart began beating faster and butterflies twirled in my stomach. It felt wrong. I hadn''t felt this nervous about seeing Ryan in months. He always made me feel just right. Why did I have to worry about him now? I coughed and tried to straighten my shirt. I sighed and walked over to open the door. When I did, it wasn''t exactly who I was hoping for, but it was good enough. It was Daniel.
