1 How it started

(This maybe is a bit unique but I hope you all like it.)

As the day soon turned to night Sly and his family were getting ready for bed. All was calm and mundane, when suddenly they heard a knock at the door. Sly's father goes to answer the door slowly, asking himself who would knock at their door at this hour. As soon as Sly heard the subtle click that signalled that his dad unlocked the door, there was a crash as it burst open, and crashed onto the ground, he looked to his mother and saw the terrified expression on her face, and suddenly felt terrified as well. His mother tells him to hide as she hands him the family cane which to Sly was an old and cool looking cane. As Sly's mother pushes him into a fake wall that he never knew about, she tells him "protect the cane with your life and take on the family legacy." she then shuts the fake wall and only leaves a crack for sly to peek through. Sly couldn't see clearly but he could see their shadows spread across the wall on the other side of the room and he could also hear the what ever goes on in the room, he heard the door break down and his mother scream, then a loud gunshot. After that Sly backed away from the crack into the darkness in hope to get away from it all. Sly backed away and found it was deeper than he thought. Sly turned around and put his hand out to find it, met a door handle, Sly twisted the handle and found a dim lit room with pictures libeling the walls and a book in the center, Sly walked past the book and looked at some of the pictures. Sly hasn't seen any of the people in the pictures other than one pictures with his parents in. They had huge bags of something and were running away from what looked like a bank and some cops, Sly continued to walk past the pictures until he found a door. Sly slowly opens the door to see his backyard, he looked left and right to check if someone was there, soon as he knew the coast is clear, he booked it into the alley behind his house, before turning the corner he looks back at the door to find that it wasn't a door at all but the side of his house. Sly turns back and continues running, he ran, and ran the whole night until he got tired. Sly stopped when he thought he was far enough from his house and waited, as soon as he stopped to catch his breath he felt extremely tired, he looked around and found out he was in some kind of park, so he looked around and found a bench nearby, Sly sat down and quickly fell asleep.
