Chapter 1 : Nowhere
Naiyah
I don't exactly remember the reason but the thing is that I was very happy when I fell asleep and even when I wanted to open my eyes I was still very happy, I felt myself smiling
but all the happiness melted when I opened my eyes and found myself in a big box
"hahahaa what is going on friends?"
I said out loud after my feelings told me that this was my friends plan to suprise me and make me happy
I woke up and stood up, so the box opened and I came out and found myself in a container,
I was in a box that was in a container,
Finally I got a big shock, I started to force my memories to come back to how I got to this place but I failed, I didn't remember anything except the great happiness I had and my name Naiyah, I didn't even remember my surname,
what is that?? what was going on, how old was i?? oooh i remember that, i was 22 years old,
that's all i remember, i panicked and started making noises
"let me out.... someone let me out... Help.... Help...."
I screamed and banged on the container, making a drumming sound,
not a moment passed when I heard footsteps outside,
"Help. ... please let me out"
I screamed again to attract their attention and soon after, the container was opened,
I was about to walk out when I saw almost seven men threatening me with guns,
"come on men, I'm just a 22year old girl, I'm not a threat"
I said and raised my hands as a signal to surrender...
everything seemed like a joke, i just said things to figure the situation
"another illegal ship migrant"
one of the men with a gun said angrily, looking at me like he would shoot me any moment
"young beautful lady but a smuggler"
another man asked
"what?? who is an illegal migrant?? and what smuggling are you talking about?"
i said unintelligibly
"where are you from?"
another man asked and took his radio call using it to make a phone call
"where am i from?? am also asking myself this question, guys stop this please, i cant remember anything... what happened?"
i said confidently
"she is playing with us, what should we do officer?" the man on a radio call was still talking
"its getting too much now, you know what to do??"
"yes sir, we throw her out too!!!"
the man on the radio said and shocked my ears, they were planning to throw me out????
"Wait men, I don't know if I can swim or not, infact here at the middle of nowhere? you want to kill me just shoot"
I said as they threw me out of the container and finally saw where I was, my thoughts were correct from the ocean sound i've been hearing all this time.
it was in the middle of the ocean with no destination, it was so scary and cold.
"hahahaa she wants a life jacket"
one man said and they all laughed
everything went so fast and I was forced to wear a life jacket
"are you seriously going to throw me out there y.. ."
I couldn't finish my sentence as they threw me into the sea
The people from the container ship thought I was one of the many criminals illegally immigrating or smuggling.
Before I knew it, I was soaked with cold water, they really wanted to throw me into the sea...
I was wearing a life jacket, but the waves were so high that I couldn't stop myself from swallowing the seawater every now and then, it was so salty...
The waves gave me no chance to scream or call for help, I simply couldn't swim...
In a few minutes, the large container ship from which I had been ejected had disappeared and I was once again alone here in the middle of the sea.
At that moment, the image of a sick woman lying in a hospital bed came to my mind...
"Mother..."
So my mother was lying in the hospital ward, fighting for her life, and I'm here
I felt bad, I tried not to drink any more seawater
It was so exhausting, the sea was getting colder and colder.... But I hoped that another ship would come by soon and save me,
Unfortunately it was getting darker and darker, not only the surface but also in my heart all hopes melted away and I prayed that a big fish would come and eat me, I was tired now and couldn't do anything anymore...
While I was still praying, I heard the thunder and its lightning in the sky, accompanied by strong wind and waves,
it was now clear to me that there were no gods but only me with my struggle,
it was raining heavily, the ocean waves were pushing me deeper and deeper into the ocean while the life buoys were struggling to keep me on the sea.
My ears filled with water and I began to see the darkness
So that was it, I was dying, with only the memory of my mother, my name, my age and Derick.....
Who was Derick? I struggled not to be swallowed up by the darkness
I don't know why, but the thought of that name made me so happy, even though I was dying
Out of nowhere, another wave hit me, and all my senses went wet and empty, everything went black....
So I was wrong, gods do exist, because out of the darkness a light hit me and my eyes were forced to open
The sun was warm and hit me as if it knew how cold and alone I had felt last time, so it tried to embrace me.
I was lying on the shore of the ocean and the waves were kissing my legs
I was alive even though I was weak, the gods I cursed last time performed a miracle and I guess the wave and the life jacket worked together and pushed me here
"Thank you God"
I said as tears rolled down my cheeks, I was still alive
At the same moment I heard my stomach calling for food, I was so hungry that I turned my head to look around
Then I found out where I was, this place was so beautiful, a green forest was in front of me as I heard the waves of the ocean at my back,
I didn't think twice and started to take steps towards the green forest.
"In the forest I will find something to eat, even fruits or berries, something I will eat now....
I entered the beautiful green forest without thinking about the danger from wild animals and insects
I just wanted to fill my empty stomach and regain my strength,
I think it had been 15 minutes since I entered the green forest, and my eyes were surprised to find a small waterfall in this forest, it was so heavenly, very beautiful, I think I have never seen such a beautiful green waterfall in my whole life,
I took off my black jeans and yellow T-shirt, then I went into the stream and soaked myself to remove all the salt that stuck to my skin
I also drank the water while I put my clothes on the glasses to dry
Then I took advantage of this moment to survey the area when I discovered a huge mango tree filled with mangoes,
I didn't wait for anyone to tell me what to do, but went naked to the mangoes to eat them. ...
It wasn't long before I started throwing up ...
I wasn't surprised because it was normal after what had happened to me
I was putting on my clothes when I heard the dangerous voice I had heard before... It was wolves
When I turned around on my way to the sea, I saw a big white wolf standing
I was so scared...
Other wolves of different colors emerged from the dense trees....
Angel of Death was seriously after me.
