Chapter 1: Oh would you look at that

Lyra just arrived home from a long day of work as usaul she was alone,though she recieved a deeply disturbing notification from her phone,instructing everyone to lock their doors,windows during the next twenty four hours,advising citizens to stock up on food and water,barricade doors and to make sure they're armed.Lyra sighed as she entered her house, shutting the door behind her and locking it. She dropped her bag on the floor and turned on the TV, trying to drown out the uneasiness that had been building all day. As the news began to play, her phone buzzed with a notification. She picked up her phone and saw that it was a warning from the local government, advising all citizens to stay indoors and prepare for a 24-hour lockdown. The warning was clear - stock up on food and water, barricade doors and windows, and make sure to arm yourself.

Lyra was taken aback by the sudden and cryptic warning, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of dread at the thought of being forced to stay inside for 24 hours. She knew that something must be seriously amiss for the government to issue such a warning, and she couldn't shake the feeling that something terrible was about to happen.Pushing aside her uneasiness, Lyra quickly went to work, making sure that her home was secure. She locked all the doors and windows, moving furniture in front of them for extra protection.

**"What the hell is going?"** *Lyra asked scrolling through her phone she saw videos of the public reporting these human like figures,they seem familiar enough could pass as a normal citezen,but their strength was unmatched inhumane,they seem to be driven by instict acting on impulse rather than having a morale,they have distict sharm features and eyes that are more vibrant in colour,such as red,yellow,icy blue and canine teeth which look like fangs,they dont know what the hell they want neither does the public seem to recognize how this even unfolded "What in the vampire diaries?" Lyra complained she hoped not its easier for her to survive without involving romanceLyra shook her head in disbelief as she scrolled through her phone, watching the videos of these strange, human-like figures. "What the hell is going on?" she muttered to herself. The videos were unnerving, showing these creatures moving with a speed and strength that was beyond anything she had ever seen before. They looked vaguely familiar, but at the same time, there was something distinctly wrong about them. Their eyes were unnaturally bright, and their teeth seemed more like fangs,their violent tendencies and lack of morale were both terrifying and intriguing at the same time

"What in the vampire diaries," Lyra muttered under her breath, her earlier complaints about avoiding romance now seeming trivial.

Despite the growing sense of unease, Lyra couldn't deny that there was something oddly captivating about these creatures. She found herself watching video after video of them,trying to make sense of what was happening. She began to feel a strange mix of fascination and fear, as she couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to encounter one of these creatures in real life. As the minutes ticked by, Lyra knew that she needed to snap out of her trance and focus on the task at hand - survival

"Get grip Lyra,the last thing you need to do is be captivated by one of these creature's allure it's what ultimatly leads to one's demise" Lyra scolded herself.She knew that she had to stay focused and vigilant if she wanted to survive, and she couldn't afford to be distracted by the creature's oddly captivating appearance. With a deep breath, she forced herself to look away from her phone and focus on securing her home.

Lyra realised she is running low on resources if she wants to maintain her sustenance she needs to get some soil,seeds and enough water for food,that means she needs to go outside,though the thought of being stalked and hunted by these very creatures in her own home unsettled her. But the thought of going outside, where those strange creatures could be lurking, was anything but comforting. The idea of being stalked and hunted in her own home made her skin crawl. But she knew that she had no choice. She had to venture out into the unknown and hope that she could gather what she needs without encountering one of those creatures.

"Great so the options are die to starvation or be killed by those creatures either way I'm screwed" *Lyra thought to herself.
