As I wander the dark streets of London, I can't help but think how stupid this is. I mean, right now, I can be kidnapped, killed, raped, the usual you know? But I'm still doing it, just for the thrill. Yeah, I reckon I'm crazy too.....

"Well well well.....looky here!" An unpleasant voice calls from the darkness. Damn it! I knew there was a chance I could run into trouble, but not this soon. It's eleven o'clock at night for God's sake! I turn slowly

"What do you want?" I ask, praying that my voice doesn't tremble. The voice chuckles, and a dirty, ugly old man emerges from the shadows

"Money," he says "I kidnap you, you're parents will cough up some money for their little girl. I give you back. Happy endings for everyone, yes?" I shiver. Under no circumstances will I allow myself to be kidnapped by this loser. I shuffle backwards, but the man steps forward.

"No escaping, now dear" he says "once your family pays up, you'll get home, kapeesh?"

"Well it's a bit of problem," I reply "because I don't have a family" there, I said it. The man is distracted for a moment, and I take my chance. Shoving past him, I make a dash for my car, which is parked at the end of the road.

I'll give it to the old guy, he's speedy. He catches up with me in an instant and shoves me against my car

"You'll think twice next time," he starts to say, but suddenly, a shadow leaps from behind my car, knocking the man to the ground. The man groans and tries to escape, but my rescuer doesn't budge

"You'll think twice before trying to grab a girl!" He snarls, pulling out a phone "I've gotta say, man, it's kinda creepy"

I take a closer look at the guy, and find out its a boy. Well, not a boy. He looks about sixteen, with black hair styled with gel. He is wearing jeans and a leather jacket, and can I just say he looks bad-ass. He lunches some numbers into his phone.

"Yeah hello?" He says "I found this guy on the street trying to kidnap a girl. Can you come quick? Cool, bye" he pockets his phone and glances up at me "police are on their way" he says

"Ummm..." I stutter "thanks, for saving me"

"Anytime" is the reply

"I'm Miranna by the way" I say

"Miranna?" The guy looks confused "what were your parents on when they named you?"

"It's a bit of a mouthful," I agree "don't know why I'm called that. I never got the chance to ask....." I trial off, and he seems to get it

"Right" he says "well, I'm Zayn. Zayn Malik." He grins at me, and I grin back

"Thanks again Zayn," I say

"You're welcome Miranna"
