I had never ran so fast in my life.

My legs were burning and my heart was pounding rapidly against my chest.
I ran through the crowds of people in central London, dodged cars on the busy streets. Not once did I look back... I was only a bit of fun!

TIME JUMP BACKWARDS!!

My friends and I were mucking around on a car park, we were bored out of our minds so we decided to play the sandwich game.

Basically the sandwich game is where we stick parts of a sandwich in the exhaust pipes of cars so when they fire the engine up sandwich spurts out; It's actually rather funny.
We take it in turns to stick the sandwich in but of course when it's my go, I get bloody caught!

"HEY YOU!" A big guy shouted at me.

I gasped and looked at him... He wasn't alone.

"SWAN RUN!" I heard my friend shout.

I jumped up and pegged it down the road but these guys were following me; It was a little bit of fun!

TIME JUMP TO THE PRESENT!!

I ran round a corner, tripped over my own feet and landed face first on the floor. I quickly pushed myself up and ran forward into someone's stomach.

I stumbled backwards and looked up at a tall blonde man, who gave me a very concerned look then looked behind me.

"There's the little street rat!" The man chasing me shouted. Oh boy, this guy looked like he was going to kill me! "This your brat?"

The blonde guy looked at me then took a step in front of me?

"Yes this is my daughter, why?" The blonde guy asked.

Wait... Is he actually helping me?

"She tried to blow up my car!" He yelled.
I rolled my eyes. "No I wasn't!" I spoke up defending myself. "Your cars fine!"
The blonde guy placed a hand on my shoulder. "Sweetheart shush I'll handle it," He told me.

Wow I actually almost believed he was my own Dad!

The guys squared up to each other. "You need to teach your brat some manners!" The guy growled.

The blonde guy nodded. "I will keep a very close eye on her from now on," He told him. "I apologies for my daughters outrageous behaviour."
The man nodded. "If I catch her by my car again there will be trouble!" He told me then walked away.

I breathed out ran my finger through my blonde hair, that was too damn close!

"Hey thanks for what you did back there, that guy looked like he was going to kill me," I told the blonde guy who had suddenly gotten very close to me.
The guy looked at the side of my head. "Do you feel dizzy?" He asked softly.
I frowned. "No why?" I asked as I touched my head. "Ow, okay that hurts!"
"You're bleeding," He stated and pulled out a pack of tissues from his pocket. "Here put these on and come with me."
I took the tissues from his and put them on the side of my head. "Look I know you're probably trying to help but I don't know who you are," I told him and backed away from him a little; this guy could be some sort of psycho!
The guy shook his head. "My name is Tom Hiddleston, I'm an actor," He told me. "I swear I won't hurt you, I just want to make sure you're okay."

I frowned... 'Tom Hiddleston' why does that ring a bell?

"I-I'm Emma Swan," I told him quietly.
Tom smiled softly. "I live round the corner, let me take you to my house so I can clean your head, it looks rather bad?" He asked me.
