Who are you? (danisnotonfire fanfic) ON HOLD

Chapter 1

Phil nudged Dan.  "Look at that girl over there, I wonder why she's not joining in with everyone else?"  Dan looked over and saw a girl with long, bright red hair, sitting by herself on a rock, a couple of hundred metres away.  Dan thought that it was a bit unusual, as it was the festive gathering, so everyone else was either chatting amongst themselves or queuing up to see them.  From what he could see, he thought he'd seen the girl earlier, running across the park, being chased by 2 beefy guys with dogs.  He wondered how she could've gotten herself out of that situation... or into it for that matter. 

It was early in the day, and since not many people had arrived yet, he decided to leave Phil to contend with their 'fans' (he hated calling them that) and walked off to talk to the girl.  He didn't usually go over and talk to random girls, but his interest got the better of him.  Some of the people queued up to see him looked over at him, hurt, as he left and almost ran after him, but were soon preoccupied with trying to talk to Phil and some of the other YouTubers that were now arriving.

The girl was facing away from Dan, and everyone else, as he approached, and she seemed to be in a world of her own, so he slowed down a bit and took the time to think of something to say to her (just so he didn't sound creepy).

Arya had been walking down the street that morning to go to the festive gathering at Hyde Park.  She was almost bursting with excitement because this was going to be the first gathering that she'd gone to, but she had no idea why she was going.  She wasn't really a person that interacted with others.  She was nice enough.  She'd talk to people if they spoke to her and she was friendly with the people she worked with, but she was terrified of what other people thought of her, so she generally distanced herself from others.

She noticed a group of about five big guys up ahead of her, so she decided to cross the street so she wouldn't have to walk near them.  What she didn't notice however, was that the guys had 2 big Wolfdogs (a mix between a wolf and a dog) with them.  Arya was terrified of dogs and would've turned around and hightailed it out of there if she'd seen them.  As she walked past, a couple of the guys started whistling and shouting at her.

"Oi you, girl, how about you come over here and talk to us!"  One of them shouted with a heavy London accent.

"Yeah, come on babe!"  Shouted one of the others, and the rest shouted words of agreement.

"Pft!  Yeah right.  What sane girl in her right mind would talk to you?!"  She shouted back.  She wondered why she was being so sassy all of a sudden, usually she would've kept her head down an carried on walking.  It might've been because she was ill, or maybe it was all the medication she was taking for it.

"Oi!  You can't talk to me like that, bitch!"  The group of guys massed together in a big, angry bunch and started walking towards her threateningly.  They walked right in front of her and the leader(or at least the one who seemed like the leader anyways) growled "I could beat you up for talking to me like that!"

They were so close to each other by now that Arya could smell the alcohol on his breath.  She was slightly terrified, but she didn't let it show.  She laughed instead.  "Yeah, you sure about that?  Well you'll have to catch me first!"  Arya stamped on the big guy's foot and ran off around the corner in the direction of the tube station.  By the sound of it, they were chasing after her.  She was slightly concerned with the idea that they might actually catch up with her, but despite being an extremely introverted girl, she loved excitement and adventure, which she mainly got from books, but occasionally real life threw her an opportunity to experience it herself, and recently there hadn't been much happening in her life that she could call 'exciting'.  Anyway, there wasn't much chance of them catching up with her, she was a cross country runner, and not a shabby one at that.
