Prologue
I will start with a simple synopsis and the prologue will start after the '-'
The Alphabets thought they were doing a nice job in securing their home, until the attack happened.
A lot people died, burnt to ashes. Those with special powers were brutally murdered, body mutilated before they dissipated into thin air.
Only four kids survived, hidden inside the cave with weird carvings and huge rock door.
Now fifteen years later, Farra was on a mission with her childhood friend, Aieyn, to find the new Alphabet members that were scattered across the world. The plan was simple; locate, find and take them back to the safety behind the Crystal Balls force, only it didn't sound easy as it is.
They faced numerous death threats along their way, and a lot of the new Alphabets died in the hands of their enemy, leaving them with only a group of new recruits to bring back home.
Back in the Alphabets fortress, the new members were introduced with two other leaders, a guy and girl who survived the attack years ago with Farra and Aieyn.
Everything was fine until they went for a mission to retrieve more Crystal Balls. During the trip, one member disappeared, and the real problem began.

Sheronica was walking to the back of the house near the woods where they usually hang their laundry to dry. She was holding onto a basket she would use to gather the clothes.
"Hurry up, Sher, it's going to rain." She mumbled to herself.
She arrived there, and she hurriedly went to gather the kitchen's curtains first, taking a sniff along.
Then she heard sounds from the woods, like a water flowing in the stream and her head snapped to the direction. There was a small river but it wasn't nearby, and the sound she heard was loud. She listened intently for a while, concentrating hard. When she didn't hear any more sound she decided to continue her job.
She lifted the basket and settled it on a hip, while her right hand grabbed smaller tablecloths, throwing them into the basket.
She heard it again. It was even more louder than before, and she stand rooted on the ground as her eyebrows scrunched up together. The sound of water flowing was coming her way, and she was confused to even move. Until something grabbed her and dragged her into the woods before she could even gasp or scream for help. Her basket fell down, spilling all of it contents on the ground.
The strong force that held her suddenly released her and she dropped onto the ground, coughing and gasping for air. She was wet all over from the contact with it.
A chuckle was heard and she raised her head.
"Hello Sheron." A guy, dressed in blue jacket and jeans smiled down to her. He looked different to say at least. His smile was too wide, almost looking crazy.
"You.." Her eyes widened.
"How are you?" He asked, casually walking forward. She watched as he came closer and crouched to her level.
"Why, cat got your tongue?" He smirked.
"What are you doing?" She asked, her voice shook slightly.
"Hm, I'm here on a mission, Sher, you know, like the mission where you ordered us to find the Crystal ball, and no one was supposed to die? Well, I went missing, but no one's actually looking for me. No one cares, do you?" He spat, hatred was evident on his face.
"That's not true! We.."
He held his hand up. "Don't bother. I realised I was never needed anyway."
She bit her lip and leaned back. He stood up.
"I'm actually letting you to join me, Sher. Leave this place. You're not that important either."
"Never."
"Why are you sticking with them? They never bring you along to do anything, you never get to see the human world. Come with me, and I'll change your life. We'll destroy them."
She sucked a breath. "You've changed."
He clicked his tongue. "Change, is so overrated. I'm just expanding my horizons."
"You will never get away with this."
He laughed and started pacing. "Actually I was going to say the same thing."
"Sheron!" A voice was heard not far from where they were. Sheronica's eyes widened and she turned to that direction, ready to scream for help, but suddenly the air stuck in her lungs.
Slowly, she was lifted from the ground, her hair floated around her. She flailed her arms around but nothing seemed to work. She opened her mouth to talk and bubbles came out.
"Sheron, answer me!" The voice called out again.
She turned frantic. She tried to scream but nothing came out, instead her lungs felt even more heavy.
She was drowning.
The voice that was calling her name sounded distant, as she trashed. Finally, her lungs gave in, and she lost control of her limbs. Her body felt heavy as she fell back to the ground, watching as the last bubbles left her.
"Sweet dream." Was the last thing she heard before she went unconscious.
The prologue was taken from the original Huruf (Book 1), in Chapter 'Intruder', but I have changed it a bit.
Basically this story is an alternative plot for the part after this up until the ending, and as I mentioned in the chapter before, I changed a few things and added a few stuff, but the ending will be QUITE same like the original one, so yeah..
