Chapter 1: Wrong Girl

It was a cold, cloudy evening. The sky wore shades of grey, and the wind whispered secrets to the street lamps. A girl stood quietly at the edge of a road, waiting to cross. Her eyes were soft, distant—lost in thought.

Suddenly, a black van screeched to a stop right in front of her.

Before she could react—

A hand.

A cloth.

Darkness.

---

Inside the van, muffled cries and heavy breathing filled the tense air.

Kidnapper #1: "Boss, we got the girl. The one you wanted."

Boss (grinning): "Good boys. Bring her out."

The van door opened with a slam. The girl, tied tightly with ropes and her face covered in a black cloth, was dragged out and tied to a chair. Around her, other girls sat in fear—gagged, bound, trembling.

Boss: "Take off the cloth. I want to see her face."

Kidnapper: "Yes, boss."

The black cloth slipped away. And then—

Silence.

Boss (furious): "What the hell?! She's... ugly!"

The kidnapper's smile faded.

Kidnapper: "I-I thought she was the one. I messed up..."

BANG!

A single shot echoed. The kidnapper collapsed.

Boss (gritting teeth): "How do I explain this to my boss? He wanted a beautiful girl. He'll kill me for this mess!"

He turned to another goon.

Boss: "I'm leaving for now. When I return, this girl better be gone. No body. No evidence. Nothing."

Kidnapper: "Yes, boss."

As the girl sat there—silent, watching, unnoticed—

Something dark flickered in her eyes.

They thought they kidnapped the wrong girl.

But they had no idea how wrong they really were.
