A Place Like Home

Prolouge

"Kepler, run, run!"
The voice shouted behind me. Everything seems so fast. I don't know what is happening but one thing for sure, I need to run. My life is in danger. Someone is after me. I don't know who they are. I just kept on running.
Bang!
It was a gun shot. Someone must've been killed this instant, far from where I am. It was not for me. It was for someone else. It is for the voice! She must have been killed right now. "You need to run. Away from them, from here. Promise me." Her soft voice kept repeating in my head as I run faster.
Tired from running, I saw an old dilapidated house. Once inside, it was dark, everywhere is dusty, pungent smell is lingering in air and every corners were full of cobwebs, but I don't care. I need a place to hide, away from them. My lungs are burning and my legs are weak from running. I went to the nearest door. But then, suddenly the floor collapsed. It swallowed me whole.

Tired from running and wounded from my fall, I instantly fall asleep. I don't know how long I passed out. Just a moment later or as I thought, I saw between my closed eyelids a faint lights looming around me and shouts above. I suddenly feel light and a voice said, "Are you alright kid?"
"I don't wanna die." Those were the last words escaped from my lips and I succumb to sleep.
