LOCATION: Undisclosed
I wake up to complete darkness. It's so dark that I can't see my hand right in front of my face. For about five minutes, I lay in the seemingly endless black void. That's when I hear the sirens. I know who they're after. It's me. They've been chasing me for four years so far, but They still haven't even come close to finding me.
I lost my mother the day I started running. They had found out that she was hiding me, and if she hadn't told me to run, I would be dead, like she is. She saved my life, and They killed her.
As the sirens get louder, indicating They're drawing nearer, I grab my over-the-shoulder, cross-body bag filled with my belongings, as I had been using it for a pillow. I run out of the alleyway, into the streets. I look to my left and see the blue lights heading straight for me. Turning around, I re-enter the alleyway, hiding in the shadows as They drive past. Once they do, I exit on the opposite side of the alleyway, and make my way down the street on my right, so I'm on a different road than Them, and also so that I'm traveling in the opposite direction than They are.
This is my life. And yet, I'm only nine years old.

Hello to anyone reading this, and thank you for reading! I know I probably shouldn't be starting another story right now, given that I still have two fanfics to keep up with, but I just got the perfect idea in my head for an original story and I wanted to get it down while it was still fresh in my mind. Let me know what you think! Should I continue? I would love to hear your lovely opinions!
