Adara Grey - Afresh (MSTSNOK Book 2)

2|New Start, New People

I stood by my waterfall, and looked around .Cas and Brent were talking nearby .I was about to walk towards them when I realized, I'm not Mist anymore. They don't know who Adara Grey is.

I was planning to change the way I look when I changed my name but, the I only thing that changed was my hair. My curls loosened a bit and my reddish brown hair turned into a lighter brown. And my face slightly different, but the same features Mist had.

Sighing, I looked down at my reflection a bit bored. "Hey!" Some man shouted in the distance. Footsteps. I heard some heavy boots beating against the ground towards me. I turned around to see a guy with red hair running towards me. His face looked kinda dirty ,as if he went through some tough stuff.

He reminded me of Reddian..

"You realize where you are right?" The guy looked down at me, I could see his crystal blue eyes. "Uh... ," was all I could come up with ."Miss, your in a war zone ," he looked at me calmly ,waiting for a reaction from me. My heart's pace quickened ,"W-what?"

"It's alright Miss ,I'll help you get out of this battle zone." I started to panic. How did I end up in a war zone?

Then I heard the guys voice soften ,"Hey, hey, it's okay. What's your name Miss?" I think he was trying to make me feel better and help me calm down. Well, it was working. "I..I'm Adara. Adara Grey," I managed to stammer. He flashed a gorgeous smile, "What a beautiful name. I'm Lukas Fate."

"Lukas! What are you doing?! We have to move!" I turned my head to see another guy approaching us .He looked similar to Lukas ,but with crimson hair and forest green eyes. Lukas looked at him, "Hey Riley, it's alright .I just saved a innocent citizen. She was out here all alone."

Riley looked at me ,"Hey little lady." I scoffed and muttered, "I'm not little.." Lukas chuckled , "That's Riley, he's my brother." I blinked, "Oh.

"Lukas, we have to move now!" Riley grabbed a fancy looking rifle .I don't know much about gun names. Or guns .Lukas handed me a gun," Do you know how to shoot? " I looked down at the gun with uncertainty , "Kinda.."

"If an imperial comes at you, shoot him in the head."

What? I looked up at him, "but I don't want to kill anyone." His face hardened, "You'll have too, unless you want them to kill you." I gulped, now nervous .

Bullets then started hitting near our feet. I jumped startled. Lukas started shooting imperial's with his fancy looking rifle. His brother Riley also started aiming at imperial's heads. I gulped, and raised my pistol, scanning around me.

My hands started shaking.

I didn't want to kill.

I barely know about this war.

Yet if I don't shoot...they will.

Mist would never kill someone ,even if they were hurting her. Only if her loved ones were at risk.

But then again...

I'm not Mist anymore.

From the corner of my eye, I saw a bullet fly past my face, barley missing me by an inch. My heart had a mini heart attack. I looked and saw the imperial who tried to kill me. He was reloading his rifle, taking his time. As if he knew I wouldn't shoot..

I aimed my gun at him. Narrowing my eyes, pushing my feelings about killing to the depths of my heart. I closed my eyes, and pulled the trigger.

My gunshot echoed into the air. I opened my eyes to see Lukas staring at me, his eyes widened, looking surprised .Why is he surprised? ...
