Chapter 1: Trapped In Flames

<Davis' P.O.V>

"Someone get me out of here!" My voice got a bit childish when I got to the "out of here" part but I didn't care about my voice at the moment. All I worried about was to get out of the building; the building which was on fire-with me inside it. Imagine this, you've gone to read a book in a quiet, peaceful room in an abandoned building, but you accidentally fall asleep there. The next thing you know, you are waking up from the sound of walls being chewed and eaten up by fire.

That was my condition. I could simply walk out of the door, but there were a few problems. First, if I chose to proceed through the door, I would be greeted by fire and a dead end. And second, the door was locked from the other side. I stepped towards the window with a plan to jump out of there. If I got lucky, I'd turn out alive. I got my hands on the window to pull it up but with my luck, it also turned out to be bolted from the outer side.

I give you permission to call me the unluckiest person in history-if you want to.

<DeWayne's P.O.V>

"Should I bring a ladder?" I asked Matt who was already headed towards the building.

"No, I've got my hoverboard!" He replied hastily. He shined the Storage Device's light on the ground and a hoverboard appeared in the light. Storage Device is a great gadget. Shine its light on an object and it will take it in its storage. Then if you whisper the object's name and shine the light, the object will appear.

"Are you sure Davis is inside that building?" Artie asked Matt.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure." He replied while fiddling for the button on the hoverboard to get it started. "He told me that he wanted to read a book in a peaceful place so he was going in that building."

The hoverboard started with a roar. All the floors were on fire-except the topmost one.

I hope Davis is in the top floor. But if he isn't....

"How did the building catch fire, anyway?" Kyle asked.

"I set fire to it." Someone spoke.

Kyle, Artie and I turned to the figure behind us. He was a short, stout man with a moustache. He was wearing a shirt with the "Planet Planners" logo on it, a company of architects and builders Matt had hired to make Planet Elanous suitable to live on.

"You did?" We three asked at the same time.

"Yes." The man answered. "The building was a bit leaning, so it had to be demolished."

"You're not the king here!" Artie yelled at the man. "You should have asked someone before doing such a thing!"

"Actually, Sir Matt ordered me to demolish the building." The worker said.

"What?! He'd never give such an order!" Kyle cried. "He knew that Davis was inside that building!"

"I don't have any time for this conversation. I have work to do." The worker said and started to walk away.

"Wait, what's your name?" I asked.

"Steven." He answered.
