My house. Almost in slow motion was burning down to the ground.

What has he done? My house! My life! It's completely vanished, as if I had never existed. I am gone. Forever. This guy just had to ruin the only place I've ever felt remotely save. The closest thing I've ever had to hope. I'll kill him. I will kill him. I need to call my mum. My phones on there.

Even if I was terrified of what may have lurked downstairs, and even if the place was a little old fashioned and creepy - it's my life an I will kill him.

I knelt on the deserted dark road, screaming.

"Sorry kid. Just follow me. You have lots to learn. First thing- do what I say because I'm your friend and," he paused taking in a deep breath, "you just do. Ok?" The mystery man held out a hand. I didn't take it. I don't wan to touch him.

"I'm Ivy," I put brushed off my gravelly hands and stood opposite him. As soon as I did, he turned and began storming off into the distance.

I noticed a pain in his eyes when I said Ivy. What, too original? And I'm not following him. Nope. Never. Not one bit. Not in a million years.

"Bambi!" He yelled in his strong deep voice.

What's up with this bambi thing? I bet its an insult.

Wait. I have no where to go.

"Coming!" I shouted back, but I didn't move. The whole world around me stopped, all the houses around were empty just like my heart. My parents don't even know what happened let alone I'm gone.

I can't leave with a stranger. What am I thinking? That's too close to a Disney move.

"Hurry up!" He turned back to me, his stern glare hitting me.

"Wait. Who are you? What's happening? Where are my parents? Why am I coming with you?"

All these questions spun around in my head but none of them were answered, I just got a back to the face.

"Flint."

'Oh nice to meet you, I love your hair'

'Why thank you your menacing look scares me'

'Yeah I practice in the mirror twice a day, good for being vain you see'

"I can hear you bambi."

"Okay then, sure you do," I jogged to catch up with him, "Answers."

"Fine. But wait."

"For what?" I questioned.

I can't believe I'm doing this. But the worst part is it feels right, like when I'm around him I have some sort of adrenaline boost or something, it's cool to be honest. But why he blew up my house and I've already got over it? I have no idea how this is happening. I cried over a Christmas advert less than five hours ago and now I ditch my life and not even feel bad, what's going on? I hate him but I'm coming with him.

"Do I have to explain everything? Okay. Just walk. Don't talk." Flint pulled his dark hood further over his face as I dropped my blanket and left it on the ground.
