I ran through the dark streets, not being able to see anything. I knew nothing. Just that I was alone. I had to run. My mind flashed back to the memory of when I left home...
FLASHBACK
"Mother, who are those people?" I asked, pointing to some shadowy figures outside. My mom looked up sharply from the table, where she had been working. Her brown hair hair was tied in a bun, and she was dressed in a simple dress. She was a writer/poet, and she was currently working on a new piece. She got up and came over to the window.
"Who, Runa?" she peered through.
"Them! The people over there!" I replied. Suddenly, I saw her eyes widen. She looked...scared. She grabbed my hand and took me to my room. She grabbed the nearest chair, and climbed it, opening a cupboard. She pulled a bag out of it, and threw it on the bed, as she hurried to get down.
"Mother? What are you doing?" I asked, panicking. She glanced at me.
"Take this, dear. Those people have come for you. You must leave. Now." She told me as she forced me to take the bag.
"Wait, but-"
"Go! And no matter what happens, never come back here again, don't look back, you understand? Just keep running," I felt something wet fall on the back of my hand. She was crying.
"No...I can't..." I felt tears forming in my eyes.
"One last favor for me." She held my face and kissed me on the cheek, before taking me to the side wall. She pressed a button, and the wall slid open. I gasped. She pushed me in, before giving me her smile...the last time I would see it. She closed the door and that was it.
"I'll come back Mother...and I'll save you. I'll make you proud...I swear..." I whispered in the darkness, before turning around to find my way out.
END OF FLASHBACK
I kept running. Not sure where I was going. Suddenly I felt someone grab my hand, and whip me around. I screamed, as a voice echoed in my head, "One last favor for me..."
