Ten years ago when the world ended she ran for her life.
Five weeks ago the world she'd hidden from came knocking on the door of her secluded cabin.
Ten days ago she found salvation hiding amongst the dead.
Yesterday she went back for the living.
Today she wonders if she will live to see tomorrow.
What do you do when the world you were born to is gone?
Where do you hide when even your own body isn't safe?
Emma ran when her daddy told her to. She hid like he said she should. He was the first person she turned her back on. The first one she let die.
Ten years has gone by and she still lives by the simple rules he taught her when she was nine years old.
"Don't help anyone. Don't go where other people are unless you have to. Trust no one. Always pull the trigger."
Until one night she hears the worst sound in the world, a knock. A simple, timid knock, on the door to her cabin.
Only the voice of the brave little girl, ready to die for her brother, persuades Emma to open the door.
As her fingers turn the lock, she has a terrible feeling she will regret her decision.
But even as regret fills her world, so do love and companionship. Things she never imagined she would ever have again.
Everything comes at a cost, you decide what you'll pay.
Twenty years ago scientists made some remarkable discoveries with genetics and the ability to perfect the babies we gave birth to.
Ten years ago the governments of the world made a hard choice, earth or people.
Nine weeks ago the choices they made came full circle.
Fourteen days ago the truth of their mutations leaked out into the borderlands and other areas.
Yesterday the worst thing they ever made learned about what she was.
Today she's coming for them and she knows about the strengths they gave her.
Tomorrow she plans on destroying everything.
She plans on starting with her her own creator. Her own father.
Ten years ago the world ended and Emma turned her back on the man she believed was her father...in an attempt to survive.
Eight weeks ago she discovered the truth about her family, including the sister she never knew existed.
Last week she had her heart broken by the one man she never imagined giving it to.
Yesterday she turned her back on those she cared for in an attempt to help them survive.
Today she plans on hunting two men to the ends of the broken earth.
Not to save the world.
Not to make the world a better place.
Tomorrow... she plans on getting revenge.
