"Hurry! We need to leave!" I frantically grab my brother's hand and make a break for the exit of the village. "Stop you thieves! Give us back our food!" If the group of people chasing us caught us, we'd be put into prison. Or worse. I just ran faster, still clutching my brother's hand tightly.

We reach the gates and immediately turn to the left. We run for quite a while, the group right on our heels. We sprint to a large tree, its leaves thick and green and the bark rough and weathered. It looked as if it had enough leaves to camouflage us completely. We climb up as high as we can and watch them pass beneath us. One blue glob-looking man cupped his hands around his mouth," I think they went this way!" He was immediately followed by the rest of the village people, and (B/n) and I sighed in relief. I climb down first, slowly inspecting the area. Once I see that the coast is clear, not a single person in sight, I call my brother down. Soon, his feet hit the ground.

"That was a close one. We almost got caught this time." (B/n) was still catching his breath and reached back to scratch the back of his head unconsciously. He looked at me with despair in his eyes," I wish we didn't have to do this." I gave him a slight frown, then hugged him tightly. "I wish we didn't have to, too." He smiled slightly, "Ha, you said Tutu..." I giggled, then gently nudged him. "We won't have to do this anymore soon, alright? Once we find a new place to live, hopefully far away from here, I can get a job. Then we can afford to buy food for ourselves!" I nudge him again and motion for him to start walking. He grins. "Let's get going then!"

We had already been travelling for about a week and had covered some good ground, but then we stumbled upon a path. A pink path. We had been rather hesitant to walk it, I mean, why would there be a random pink path in the middle of the forest? But we took a chance and began to make our way once more. It seemed the further we went, the pinker and brighter everything around us got. The soft, bright colors were surrounding us now.

We were just chatting about random things- our new life, how happy were gonna be. . .- Then there was a sudden sound in the bushes. We turned quickly and got into a fighting stance. "Who's there?!" I call out. Nothing answered. Still on edge, I look over at (B/n), and he looks at me. He motions for me to keep walking, so we quietly begin to make our way again.

Suddenly, a man dressed in black jumped onto (B/n)'s back and pulled him to the ground. I watch in horror as the man knock's him out cold with his bony, wrinkly fist and quickly turns toward me. "No!" I try to dodge his attack, but he was faster than me. He jabs a needle into my leg, and I instantly begin to feel dizzy. My throat begins to throb with pain. "Why? Why are you doing this..." I cough and pain erupts from my lungs. Everything was beginning to look fuzzy. The man chuckles at me. "Because you took somebody I once treasured."

Then everything went black. . .
