Life in Chaos

The Mysterious Rebirth

Lyren Anarado woke up, covered in cold sweat and trembling in hate, an intense feeling of nausea overwhelming her senses.

Her concerned parents, Darren Anarado and Milenn Anarado were crouched over the floor where Lyren Anarado lay.

"Honey, are you okay? You gave us the shock of our lives." Lyren's mother, Milenn Anarado said, while giving Lyren Anarado a simple body check for any wounds.

"Hey girl, it's okay if you're feeling too tired to help, there's no need to force yourself. Leave the rest to us,you need some rest." Darren Anarado said, concerned about his only child.

"Mom....? Dad-....? "

Lynn Anarado called, uncertain, her eyes widened, unable to believe that the two people who she had just watched die, were crouched in front of her looking concerned.

"Yes, honey? What happened? Are you alright?" Milenn Anarado whispered, worried.

Lyren Anarado closed her eyes, trying to clear her mind and figure out what was going on. Ignoring her pounding head, she tried to recall what happened....

*flashback starts*

" I should have done this a long time ago. You fools will just waste what little resources i have left, and that won't be of help in surviving in this hellhole country."

Lyren Anarado watched helplessly,tied up and gagged, as her weak and frail mother struggled against being thrown into a deep hole capable of burying three people. Her sick father was thrown in next. She could only watch as they struggled hopelessly against the tight ropes binding them, muffled pleas and calls for help coming from their gagged mouths as they landed beside her. Their body trembled of rage and fear of what this crazed man was doing.

Lyren's uncle, Derwin Anarado, smirked as he repeatedly shovelled dirt into the large pit.

The Anarado family looked at each other with teary eyes, before closing their eyes forever...

*End of flashback*

Lyren Anarado sat up, her fists clenched, her eyes burning with rage as she started trembling with hate.

She had one, extremely crazy thought in her mind as to why she is suddenly laying on the floor with her supposed-to-be-deceased parents crouched over her ---- She had gone back in time....To before all the chaos happened.

Her parents looked at her, concerned as ever as Lyren Anarado slowly stood up.

"Are you okay?" Now Darren Anarado was actually worried. He had thought she was just too tired. But Lyren Anarado has shown no signs of exhaustion. Something was really wrong.

Lyren Anarado suddenly pounced at her parents, embracing them in a large bear hug, tears pouring out of her eyes as though water running from a tap.

This completely took the Anarado couple by surprise. Now they were certain something was very wrong.

Lyren suddenly let go of her parents.

"What date is it!? What date is today?!??"

Lyren asked, panicking. If she had really gone back in time, then she will make sure nothing happens to her beloved parents. She will be making preparations beforehand to stand a chance against the deadly living corpses roaming the world, and most importantly, her uncle.

(backstory)

A deadly virus had escaped from an unlicensed illegal experiment lab through one of the infected individuals being tested with the virus escaping.

Strange people, with white,popping eyes eyes, covered in rotten flesh and blood, dressed in torn up rags, were seen everywhere. Pouncing on anyone alive as though predators hunting prey, and tearing their flesh from their bones with their teeth and emitting deep growls from their throats. Within 10 days, these "people" had taken over the entire country.

A zombie apocalypse had begun.

2 days before the deadly apocalypse had affected the small, peaceful town of Bethenvill, Lyren's uncle, Derwin Anarado had moved in uninvited, into Lyren's home. He had angered a rich man by trying to r**e the rich man's daughter and needed somewhere else to stay.

The apocalypse took the people of Bethenvill by complete surprise. The Internet had shut down days before, and ap the people of Bethenvill were not warned beforehand of this chaotic and dangerous disaster.

Going outside was extremely dangerous. Most of the people were either turned into zombies or were eaten alive the day this deadly pack of walking corpses took over. The few who survived couldn't do anything but lock themselves at home.

Resouces like food and water were more important than ever. After a few days, people were forced to choose between risking their lives to go outside and look for food, or stay inside and suffer hunger and thirst for as long as they could survive for.

Derwin Anarado had taken a knife from the kitchen, threw anything that could be used as a weapon out of the house from the balcony and tried to force Lyren and her parents to go outside to look for food. They had already been starving for 4 days. Of course, Lyren and her parents refused. The next day they found themselves bound together with a thick rope when they woke up from a deep slumber. Derwin Anarado had drugged them through drinking water and had bound them up, burying them alive.

(End of backstory)

"Its 6th June, 2024 today. Why are you asking, dear? " Milenn Anarado was still concerned about her daughter's health.

"6th June....6th June..." Lyren mumbled.

The apocalypse had started on 7th July, Lyren was relieved that she has a month's time to prepare.

Know that she was reborn, she will make sure her uncle will pay the price of his evil deeds in Lyren's past life. She will ensure the safety of her beloved parents, and survive in the catastrophic disaster arriving in a month.
