Looking at the boy who scared the life out of her, she looked at where he shot, and she saw another boy standing there behind him. There were two women standing on both sides. Still dazed by the gunfire and the strange situation she encountered, she woke up to a second shot, but this one was directed at her. The boy shot at her at the same time he shot at the other boy and the two ladies, apparently he didn't intend to hit either of them, or else they would have been dead long before they even could realize what was going on.

She froze at her place, looking at the rifle that was facing her face. A cold sweat dropped from her face and drenched her back in that moment. Unable to come up with any reaction, she stood there like a statue. At that moment, the boy from the other side called out, "We are not your enemy, please don't shoot." The boy with the rifle turned towards the other boy, and after looking at him for a few seconds, he lowered his rifle. Without saying any other words, he turned to the other side and pointed his rifle there, looking through the scope.

At the moment the two children started crying, both of them hanging on their mothers' shoulders, everyone was still standing at their place; some were scared like Adline, others were shocked like Aden, and two women stood beside him. The young boy turned to the mother and told her, "We are still in danger, please keep them quiet." The mother looked up at him with sad eyes and silent tears came down from them, then started shaking them, trying to keep them calm.

.....................

On the other side, where Ozak and the guard with him were coming from, a man was running towards them, not far behind him, another man was chasing behind him. As soon as he noticed the man running towards him, he stopped, understanding immediately that they were the ones who were shooting the gunshots that they heard before and coming to check it out. By instinct, with one step, he hid himself behind the tree he was just passing by, and the guard behind him did the same thing at the same time, none of their moments or actions alerted the two men chasing each other, although the distance between them was less than one hundred meters.

But since they were concentrated on the other one, probably that was the reason for them not to notice them. That is what Ozak thought. They were running straight to them, and in a few seconds they will be reaching here, so what is going to happen? As that thought came to his mind, suddenly the one who was running in front slowed down for a second and turned back. Surprised by the sudden change, the one who was chasing him stopped and immediately raised his weapon and said, "Stop or I will shoot."

The man didn't listen or even hesitate for second, though there was a gun pointing at his face, within a second he was in front of the of him, be bent down 90 degrees and lunched up with his fist hitting his face, which resulted in the other man loosing his balance, because of the unexpected hit on his face, but he didn't fell on the contrary he adjusted his balance immediately stepping a side to avoid any other punch coming towards him, as he expected he saw another punch coming towards him precisely at his face again but now at yhe same location he was standing now, one more he stepped to the same side he came from, his reaction was incredibly high, but his attention was on his hands, unexpectedly a hard kick came to his waist instead of the punch he expected on his face.

The kick was stronger than what he could stand, which resulted in him almost falling down. He tried to steady himself by putting all his weight on his legs and leaning backwards instead of falling sideways, but that wasn't all. The first kick came from his right side, and again another flying kick came from his left side. Simultaneously, one kick after another rained down on him, and he tried to block it with both of his hands, which he was holding the gun with, which actually helped him as a defensive weapon instead of an offensive one.

In front of Ozak, there was a fight going on when suddenly the man who had been chased turned to fight the one who had been chasing him. That in itself was strange, but he wondered why he was running in the first place if he was capable of fighting this way. The fight itself was something that Ozak had never seen before, it looked like some type of martial art, but none existed on earth. Their movement was so precise without any excessive movement and also so fast, that was what amazed him the most. He thought, "It appears to be that both of them are equal in skills, but the old man is much stronger." But he is holding out, I don't know why. "Paying his attention to the fight once more after glancing at the guard who was just a couple meters beside him, he noticed a third man approaching the two men who were fighting.

Within a second, the third man reached them, he was also holding something that looked like a shotgun and immediately aimed at the unarmed man before he even had a chance to shoot. Ozak saw the gun flying out of his hands, he opened his mouth in shock when he saw the guard who was beside him just now, within a blink of an eye in front of the tired man, he didn't even know what happened that caused the gun to fly from the man's hand. The distance between Ozak and them was not that great to begin with, but if he wanted to move toward them, it would have taken him at least twenty seconds to reach them. Still, what shocked him was how the guard was able to do it in what literally could be called a "blink of an eye."

That was not all, after disarming the third man with a split of a second, with an unbearable or even possible in Ozak's eyes, he kicked the man at his chest so hard it sent the flay backwards almost five meters. Still dazed by that action, he didn't even blink. The guard was behind the second-armed man, and the man he appeared behind suddenly fell down on the ground. Ozak was unable to comprehend what was going on, let alone how the guard did what he did so fast.

All that happened within a couple seconds, the two armed men were lying on the ground, and the first man, who was practically standing in front of the guard, took a couple steps back and took a defensive position without saying anything. At that moment, without even a visible movement, Ozak saw the guard appear in front of the man, and both of them were on the ground, followed by a few gunshots, one of which hit the same place the man was standing less than a second ago.

Ozak instinctively hid his head behind the tree he was watching from, afraid of the upcoming bullets, which started to increase and rain down where the man and the guard were, even some of them hitting Ozak's tree. He murmured to himself, "Is this the way my life ends in this world? At least I would have had a chance to survive in this place if that monster guard was still with me." Since, in his opinion, no one was able to survive this much bullet, he assumed that the guard and the other man were both dead.

END OF VOLUME ONE

Der readers,

It's been a pleasure of mine to be with you for this almost whole year, without you, I wouldn't have written a few chapters, let alone a whole volume of 50 characters. Thank you all for enduring me and sticking with my book. I aspire to present a story that you all enjoy and will continue to discover together what's in store for our characters in the second volume that will come shortly after a one-month break. see you all at the end of April 2023.

I don't like spoilers, so I will not go and do just that. I will tell you to expect the beginning of the adventure and the action in the next volume. As I mentioned in the beginning, this whole volume was the introduction to the story, but the real story with all the action and thrill will be coming in the next volume, and the rest will follow.

Once again, thank you for your support.

Yours truly.

    Prologue It was a really nice and wonderful journey this past year, and it's hard for me to believe that I completed the first volume of my book ""Wake Up And Run"" all thanks to my wonderful readers, among them family and friends, without their support and encouragement, I wouldn't have been able to finish or even continue writing this book, and it wouldn't have seen the light. I started writing this book in 2014, and I stopped writing after writing only nine chapters. At that time, I was not aware of online publishing or the concept of sterilization or web novels, although the way I envisioned it at that time was really the same concept, now we are starting to go together through the second volume. As I mentioned before, the first volume was the introduction of the story, and it was missing the thrill and the fast pace, at least that is what I have been told, so I will be working on that in this volume, which is the beginning of the story and the adventure.

That is not it, the thing that do not make any sense are their speed, the speed at which they approached me, and the fact that they raised their weapon so slowly. I was shocked at the beginning. In fact, I was scared, but this I could dodge with ease. So I did bend down at the same time. lifting my swords up and parrying the one facing me with my right hand and the one behind me with my left hand. At the same time, to clear a space for me, I kicked the one on my right side with my right leg, while supporting myself with his body and using him as a foothold, and I turned in the air, reaching the other one on

Actually, I had some sweets in my bag, but I left it in the vehicle; at least, I would have taken my bag if I knew that I would be lost in a forest. At that moment, I remembered that I was carrying a backpack that I hadn't checked most of its content in so far, but there was a bottle of water. I took the water out and approached the woman, extending the bottle to her. The woman didn't hesitate either and took water from me without saying anything, just nodding with her head, sipping a few mouthfuls, and then giving it to the children one by one. The young boy was glancing at us, still focused on the rifle and binoculars, ready to shoot anything that moved in front of him. When they had enough water, the woman passed the water bottle to me and said, "Thanks." I took it and tried to pa

    At The First Destination Chapter 1 Part 3Strangely, Amran came back to where we were along with the new girl, and she was still holding the two short swords but now with both of them in one hand. I took that as a chance and introduced myself, "Hello, my name is Aden." Then I pointed at the girls behind me and said, "Ladies, introduce yourselves, please." I was only able to introduce two of them since we claimed the third girl was with us and I don't know her, I wasn't able to introduce just the two of them and leave the third. I myself was curious to know the new girl's name, but about her story, I left that for a later time, since the situation was not favorable at the moment.After the two girls introduced themselves, the third one also did the same and said, "Hello, my name is Adline." Then we looked at the boy, and I don't know why, but he sighed before he answered and said, "Nice meeting you all, my name is Luke, this is my sister-in-law." He paused for a second and continued wi

    I was listening to what Ajbadan was telling us and was wondering at the same time how I reached the same conclusion even before he reported to us, how was my estimate that correct with having all the facts, strange as they may be, that was happening at the moment, so I had to naturally complete his last sentence for him, saying "In that case the option for us is to wait it out, until everything becomes clear, it's not in our best interest to intervene in a situation we don't know anything about it." When I finished saying that, I noticed that everyone was looking at me with a surprise on their faces.Even I was surprised at how easily and naturally I said what I said, I didn't even think about what I was saying, it just came to mind and I said it without thinking about it at all. Everyone kept looking at me for a few seconds, then Ajbadan was the first one to recover from the surprise and say, "That was exactly what I was about to suggest; good work, Amran." I didn't have anything to

    The Chosen One's Part 1 Chapter 5This time it was not as surprising as the first time, and there was no change in the information; it was the same as the first time, except now he was able to read it slowly and try to understand the meaning of what he saw in front of him.

Thinking to himself, he said, "At least some time has passed, and all I am required to do is survive." The question is, will he be able to do just that? It's not just, "Just survive." How is it that simple? He knew from

    Chapter 6The Chosen Ones Part 2Something is really wrong here, Julian wondered. Reading the list a few times, he noticed one other thing: the time really didn't decrease as he thought the first time but increased. Although it was something he didn't notice the first time and was not sure if the last time he saw it was 23 hours or 24 hours, but it was obvious that it had increased now instead of decreasing.Anyway, that is a different issue that he can solve at the moment; the urgent thing is to navigate the situation that he is facing now. The question is who to go straight to, wherever the destination that he supposedly reached was, and there is a fight going on in front of him, it is not like he can say, "Excuse me, can you please stop fighting until I pass?" He had no prior experience in situations like this or any other situations to being with.Standing in his place, he first looked at the man, who was standing alone and watching the fight like him.

She put the device that she was listening to and collected another one from her desk drawer and started recording a message: “This recording is from Section One; the time is 17.00 hours, and today is the first day that officially Project Zero One started finally. I hope we have enough time to implement all the security measures that we have been working on." Without a second thought, she pressed the send button and returned the device to the same drawer.

    Chapter 37Beginning of the Invasion Part 1BEmika’s point of viewThis was the worst nightmare I have been seeing, and I really wished it was just a nightmare, but it was not; it was a reality, a fact in front of my eyes. The thing I was referring to as a portal was forming in the same location I have been seeing it in my dreams, or, to say it correctly, my nightmares. And the reason I am referring to it as a portal is because I knew it was, because I saw it with my own closed eyes at that time, the monsters coming out of it, which indicates that it was a portal of some kind. I have been afraid my dreams would come true, and I didn’t wish for it, but somehow I had the feeling that whatever I saw would happen, but I hoped it would be in a different day and time; a time when I was better prepared for it and was able to take some kind of countermeasure for it.I have no idea what kind of countermeasure I could have been able to take.

At least they have been together more the rest of them, Regardless of their meeting in the forest, as they said, Murad shook his head like he was dropping the questions that filled it and went to the boy. Aden stood up when he saw Murad approaching him and smiled while saying, “It’s embarrassing to say that, seeing you came to help me, but I am actually leaving the tent here that way I didn’t dismantle it.” Murad was not expecting to hear that at all While the surprise was showing on his face, he asked, “Can I ask you why?” Aden didn’t expect to be asked that question either, so he hesitated for a second and said while scratching his head with a small laugh, ”ha

It was both smokey and liquid-like at the same time, and he was unable to determine what material it was composed of. It was moving like a live entity with a pulsating heart, but it was not changing shape. In a matter of seconds, it gained shape and materialized in front of him at the location the youngster had indicated. He felt a terrible sensation throughout his body. This is what the young man was talking about. He told himself, "So it's all true then," confirming the first thing the boys had mentioned. "The time was the next thing he confirmed, and it was true too." He had the chance to glance at the clock now that it was getting to be the time of sunset, but he didn't think of it. He fe

In a manner I never had before, if it were anybody else in front of me telling me that, the first reaction that would accrue to me would have been to cut his head immediately, without even getting the opportunity to get questioned about where he got the information.

So far, all we knew in the first volume was that he was looking for his wife, and that was all he was looking for. Where was he imprisoned? What for? There were a lot of questions that no one asked and nobody answered, and no one will unless someone dares ask the correct question.Also, I edited the previous chapter, its not just a copy of the same chapter of the first volume to go along with the current retelling of the story without changing much from the original story as a recap because of the importance of the story line. I remember one reader asking me if I was just filling in the characters for the sake of my book, and he was specifically talking about Jack :) I hope now he got the answer.
