*************************

I receive a wide hate filled smirk in return, "Flint please, I don't understand why are you hurting me? What did I do?"

He scowls "You don't even remember?! Scum like you shouldn't even exist! Oh and was I hurting you? I'm sorry I didn't notice." He sees the bandage under my jeans " but did you mean like this?" He raises his leg and brings it down hard on my leg targeting the wound. Bullseye.

I cried out in pain as I felt the bone threaten to snap but fortunately his foot stopped in time, it swung back and kicked me into the wall, the impact winded me, I felt the shock ripple trough my body and out in a gust of dust.

I curl into a ball looking for the ice I had dropped at some point in the fight (why are my reactions and movements slow? Why can't I think straight? Why is Flint attacking me? Have I hurt him in some way?) then a thought strikes me like a bullet. (Of course.. How could I of been so stupid? He was probably sent after to me by the R.S.M.I.A . To capture me, to test me, to break me, to teach me a lesson, ..... To play with my heart..)

And just like that I let all emotion leave, I didn't care anymore, besides, I had endured worse back at the camp, I felt nothing.

I gazed into the wall infront, ignoring all the kicks that were thrown my way, that almost cracked my ribs and bruised my skin. My body went limp and I took it all. I didn't care anymore.

"Your so stupid! You dumb piece of trash! Why the hell were you even born?! No wonder your parents gave you up!" He yelled inbetween strikes, I choked on his words refusing to let my tears fall. (I shall shed my tears for no one, I can't trust anyone to see my pain) I watched Flint take an empty glass bottle from beside a trash can. I watched as he raised it and I watched as he brought it down, I closed my eyes waiting for the blow when I felt a rush of warm air, daring to open my eyes a small gasp of shock escapes my lips, Flint was lying against the wall his clothes charred and a large bruise forming on his right eye.

My head whips around for my so called saviour, "Tide are you ok?" Comes the caring voice of Flint, my Flint. I lie and nod (there are two of them now? Probably just another test, don't fall for it Ti- ..... 0.T.1.D.3)

"Good," his head turned from mine and I could of sworn I saw flames flickering in his eyes, his jaw was set and hands drenched in fire clenched, "I don't know who you are or why you have my face but stay the heck away from Tide,"

"Or what?" The Flint who had attacked me coughed out
daringly and pushed himself onto his feet, "you really want to know?" Flint's voice was threateningly calm as he stalked towards his doppelgänger slowly, "because I'll tell you. I'll melt the flesh from your skull and torch your face onto your damned behind so you can watch as my foot beats your backside and the rest of you to a bloody, burnt, pile, of ash."

He stopped right infront of the menacing Flint who was stubbornly clenching his fist and jaw, and towered over him as he spat out the last words.

The copy gave him one last glare before walking away making sure to knock shoulders with Flint who stood stiffly and glared at him the entire time till he had rounded the street corner.

Flint let out a sigh and turns to where I'm lying in a ball, (now what? He's gotten rid of the other one so what's he planning now? Torture? Take me back to the base? Is he going to beat me just for the fun of it?) his steps come closer and he crouches down by me, my heart starts to race faster.

Flint looks around and picks up the ice dagger (oh God no) he turns back to me. Then he raises the knife and I gasp covering my head with my arms curling up tighter into a ball expecting the sharp pain at any moment.

When there was none I peeked up to see a slightly hurt expression mixed with shards of anger, in his eyes, whether that anger was directed at me or at himself I don't know.

Flint sniffed the iced dagger then licked it. I watched curiously, slowly uncurling myself and sitting up, "Tide, this ice. It's not water it's alcohol, maybe that's why you were acting a little.. Out, of it." He theorises, his hand rests on my shoulder and I flinch. "right s-sorry" he takes his hand away. "Do you think you can walk?" I nod standing up shakily and take a step forwards, "gah!" I fall and Flint catches me.

I look away from him and I feel his eyes narrow whilst looking at me.

He takes my chin and turns my head to face him gently, "Tide, listen to me. I am not going to hurt you, not ever ok?" I nod my head my eyes watering with confused emotions and thoughts. Flint pulls me into him and embraces me in a hug, I freeze. It's been so long since I've been in a hug. If I ever had.

I wanted to break down just there and then, to give in to the warmth and cry away all my sorrows, but I knew I couldn't, I knew not to trust anymore. After all, trust and you'll be hurt. Hope and you'll be let down.

And with those thoughts everything went dark.
