BEGINNING OF CHAOS

POV - ADIRA NYTH

-------------------------

At the age of 15, the Nyth family found me unconscious. Strange, I don't have any memories of age 15 and before that. But the Nyth family sensed something in me and adopted me as their daughter. However, things began to get weird when someone tried to assassinate me in middle school. At that time, Uncle Einar was the police chief and he protected me. Everyone loved and cared for me because Nyth is my mother's family. With this chaotic situation, I was forced to live with bodyguards, which I hated. My freedom was taken away, and I felt like I was living as a doll. But Uncle, who loves me as his daughter, consoled me, saying that one day it would end.

Even though I tried to adjust to this life, the guards disguised themselves at my school and protected me with Uncle's strict orders, not interfering with my personal matters. Still, I felt alone as I had no friends.

Things changed when I was kidnapped by some people while walking to school. A group forcefully took me, and I thought I was the only one abducted until I saw a beautiful girl in that dire situation who smiled at me, easing my pain. I met other students who were kidnapped like me, and the struggle seemed futile. There were six people in the room, including me.

"That won't help you!" commented one of them, and that's when I stopped struggling and quietly sat down in the shabby room. I observed the people around me. The guy who made the comment was now trying to console a girl who was crying, while another girl acted like she didn't care. Next to her, there was a guy. Only our hands were tied; we were free to move.

I had confidence that my uncle would come to rescue me because he had set a tracker on my necklace. The others were scared and didn't know why they were kidnapped. The girl who had smiled at me came closer, and as I looked at her with surprise, the door opened, and masked men rushed towards us, looking different from the rest.

In terror, everyone watched as one guy from the group stepped forward. Perhaps he was the leader as he discussed something with the others.

"Are you sure that cube is with these kids?"

"I don't know; it's our master's order."

"Damn it... What is that guy thinking..." He furiously kicked the door, glared at us, and took out a gun. At that moment, everyone, including me, thought it was our last day. He pointed the gun at the crying girl, asking if she knew anything about the cube. She was terrified and unable to speak, staring at him blankly. He threatened her, but then one of his fellows whispered something to him, and he backed away, muttering angrily. They locked the door again, and the girl started sobbing, while others looked at each other.

"Don't cry... We will escape from here," I told her, and they all looked at me with confusion. I reassured them with a smile.

As gunshots rang out, I urged everyone to find a safe corner, and we huddled together. The gunshots continued for an hour until the room was forcibly opened, and the SWAT Team rushed in. "ADIRA..." I heard my uncle's voice as he rushed to me. I hugged him tightly, and we were rescued from that place. Walking away, I saw the masked man lying in a pool of blood, making me uneasy. Uncle covered my eyes, shielding me from the sight.

The next day, I met those people again, and their parents thanked me and my uncle. From that moment, our friendship began. They were my classmates from middle school, and with police protection, we talked, hung out together, and formed bonds.

I found friends in Erix, Micah, Ealia, Akantha, and my best friend Sitara. We promised to stick together as we entered high school. Little did I know that my life was about to change...
