MEETING THE DARKNESS

After the classes 

Me and Ellie were going to my house in my car. We had to start working on our final year project and she was my partner. Our project was based on how different people take different situations and how their body acts accordingly. We had to do some research on it. It must be an easy job as both of us are at the top of our class and not to mention I have on hand experiences related to matters such as these.

"So how do you suggest that we start with the project?" Ellie asked.  I just shrugged my shoulders and said "I don't know, you suggest something.". "Maybe we can start with the presentation first and research on the experiments done on mankind previously." 

"Oh! That could give us a good start." I said. 

The road we were going on was unusually deserted when it used to have at least a handful of people walking here and there. My gut feeling kicked in and I immediately knew that something was off. "Hold onto something Ellie" I warned her. Her face immediately tensed up after hearing the tone of my voice. I took a sudden left and started to drive in another direction. I could see a black car driving behind us and it didn't have a number plate on it but it had the symbol of an octopus . That's when I got to know that it was none other than OCTI. 

OCTI was an upcoming mafia superpower in the underworld. It had its fair share of dirty politics and blood of innocents on their hands. They might have seen Ellie and me come out of our university. These people don't even know that I am the Mafia Queen of Asia. They want to kidnap me and threaten my brother to give their clients our company. 

Suddenly I heard gunshots behind us. Ellie started to panic. "Elle open the dashboard and hand me that black box. Don't worry I won't let anything happen to us. Do you trust me?". She nodded a yes and gave me the black box with sweating hands. I feel so stupid to bring her along with me. I should have atleast been more careful. I will have to break my cover and show her the real me. I opened the box and took out a gun. Elle gasped. The bullets were ricocheting behind us. I started firing back at them. I shot the guy who was driving but another man took over the car and started chasing us again. I aimed at the tire and shot it. The car lost its balance. I stopped my car at a distance and got out with my gun. "Dia!!!!!! Are you crazy!!!!!! Get back in the car!!!!! Let's go!!!" Ellie screamed at me but I couldn't leave those people after seeing my face. I went towards their car and shot the two guys shoulders. "Who sent you?" I asked with venom in my voice. They again tried to shoot me but I shot their legs and arms before they could even touch the gun. "WHO. SENT. YOU." I asked once again emphasizing each word. " Olive sent us to kill you. But we don't know why. We were only ordered to follow them. Please leave us. We will never come in your way ever again." one of them said. I shot both of them on their heads after listening to them. 

I was actually surprised that they wanted to kill me. I had thought that they just wanted to kidnap me. Something is definitely wrong. I could sense it. 

I walked back to my car to see that Elle was staring at me with wide eyes and trembling hands. I felt guilty for what she had seen. It is a huge shock to see your friend kill someone in front of you, even if they were bad people. 

"Ellie, I want to tell you something." I said with guilt and shame dripping from my voice. "Who are you Dia?" she asked with horror in her eyes. I took a deep breath and started the car. "I am Dia Yadav. I am the CEO of K group of enterprises, the sister of Aryan Yadav." She clasped her hands on her mouth. "Why?" that was the only word that came from her. I sighed and started telling her my story. Now that I have broken my cover why not come full out. 

"So when I was 10 years ......................................"

Hi guys 

I know that this chapter is short but I am kinda occupied with somethings right now so forgive me if possible.

I am not very experienced in writing fight scenes so tried to keep it as simple as possible.

Do give me your suggestions on how to make it better.

The next chapter will reveal the childhood of Dia, so stay tuned.

Love you always
