                                     I open my eyes wide and gasp for air. I take continuous deep breaths with my mouth, till I feel my senses again. My head hurts and my body aches with pain. I try to recollect what happened. I went to the festival....someone was following me.....

Slowly, all the incidents flash in my mind. The strange boy and Mrs. Jane kidnapped me, and the strange boy pushed me into what looks like a black hole and I passed out immediately as my body twisted in that medium. I move my hands and feel grass. I look up at the sky, which is clear with bright sunlight. Where is this place?  I look sideways and find tall dark green trees everywhere. 

I cautiously get up and sit on the grass crossing my legs and hold my head with my hand, which still hurts a little. Where am I?

"Woke up?"  I hear a familiar voice. I look to my right side and find the strange boy sitting cross legged, wrapping his arms around his knees. Where did he come from? I did not see him here few minutes ago. 

"Where have you brought me?" I ask him.

"Your true home, the place you belong. I  guess you forgot everything." he says looking with those dark blue eyes. He is still wearing his black cap and black mask that covers almost all his face except his eyes. Why is he so obsessed with black color? 

"My true home? What do you mean?" I ask him.

"Even if I explain everything to you, it's no use. You will just get more confused. So, discover and know things yourself." He says and gets up and frisks his pants.

"Are you kidding me? You just bring me to some unknown place and say this is my home? Atleast tell me where I have to go!" I ask him angrily.

"My job was to only bring you here. Whether you live or die, I don't care" he says coldly looking away.

I walk towards him clenching my fists. He has to answer my questions at any cost.

Suddenly, an arrow strucks to the ground in the place where I was about to keep my foot. I take a step back spontaneously.

"Oh shit! I didn't know we landed up in the outskirts of this kingdom" the strange boy says angrily, gritting his teeth.

"What kingdom? Who shot this arrow?" I ask him.

"We better escape from here, before they come."  The strange boy says.

"Who will come?" I ask him in complete confusion.

"I will say later, for now just come." He says.

"You did the same damn thing last time. Answer my questions." I say holding his hand tightly.

"Oh god! This is not the time, we need to run!" He says and instantly rolls over my hand and takes hold of my wrist.

"Run where, may I know?" I hear a hoarse voice.

Opposite to us a huge man stands, holding a sword over his shoulder. He must be over thirty years old. He is wearing a brown shirt and brown leather jacket with spikes. He is wearing tight leather pants that look like they will rip apart anytime. On his waist, he has many pockets with various weapons. He has black ruffled hair, bushy eyebrows and a huge tummy. He looks very cruel and arrogant.

"You think you can escape from us?" The man says smiling and widening his eyes which are filled with nothing but greed, lust and pride.

"It's better for you, if you let us go." The strange boy says.
