The alarms screamed early the next morning.
A sharp, metallic blare echoed through every corridor of fortress four, jolting people out of their dreams. It was so loud that even those that lived in the nearby bases heard it.
Many of the residents were jolted awake. Through the speakers, a stern voice shouted, "All residents, remain indoors! Do not step outside your homes until further notice!"
Sunshine woke with a start. Her head throbbed as a result of drinking a little more than she should have done that night before. For a moment, she wondered how she ended up in the bed. She looked to her right and saw Hades sleeping like a log. They were tangled under the blankets, naked!!
Panic shot through her like electricity. She bolted upright and got out of bed before grabbing for her clothes that were scattered across the floor. Under ordinary circumstances, she would be screaming and going through her memories to figure out how she ended up naked beside her husband.
