hope u like!!!!! :))) took me ages with this 1
(PLZ REVIEW! even if it like 2 lines thanks :D )

This guy must clearly be crazy, I thought. If I had ever seen him before, I would definitely have remembered. He was hard to miss.
"I do? But... how?" He could also hear the curiosity in my tone. I thought I saw him bite his bottom lip for a second, but I might have imagined it. He smiled nervously.
"You wouldn't believe me," he said quietly.
"Try me, “I challenged.
He drew in a ragged breath, and finally exhaled after a long moment."Oh, where to start..?" he murmured.
"Come ooonnn! I'm not the most patient of people, you know!"
He laughed out loud, his bass voice echoing off the shadows that surrounded us, startling the sheep and making them scarper in all directions. I couldn't help but smile; however irritated I was... it was like that smile of his was deadly infectious. How strange, I mused. No one had ever made me feel this way.
"Oh, I remember that too well," he said, still laughing, “you were the most demanding person I had ever met. It was hell working for you, I swear it was!"
I stared at him. He worked for me?
"What, like a servant or something?" I smiled at the idea.
"Yupp," he replied. I frowned. Was he actually saying that my presence was like Hell? Most people would give anything to be near me, I thought. I had never been insulted in my life! I was experiencing many new feelings today, and some of them I didn't like at all. My face clouded over. I glared at him.
"Blimey!" He laughed again, his sudden outburst startling me. This time, however, I didn't feel like laughing along with him.
"Who are you?" I demanded. The most simple of questions, but somehow, for him that seemed the hardest. It suddenly came to me. How could I be so thick?
"You're kidnapping me! I shrieked.
He stared at me, his eyes wary. I stared back, shocked. Then his lips twitched into a smile, then into a grin. My fingers itched to slap him. I could feel my inner roar coming back to life.
"It's not funny!!!" I gasped. How dare he laugh, I thought, how dare he?!
"Eve, keep it cool," he murmured softly, "I'm only here to take you back home, to your real parents. To your world. This is not your world, Eve! You shouldn't be here. You'd expose yourself to your true nature. We must find a way back home as soon as possible." he said, look right into my eyes. I shivered.
Pffft, what rubbish.
"The hospital is that way, loony," I said, pronouncing the words s-l-o-w-l-y. I pointed north-east. "You should be getting back to your ward now. Someone is probably looking for you."
I sighed and got up to head for the cottage. Jenaide and Raymond would definitely be wondering where I was and why I was so late. I shrugged of his jacket and threw it behind be. I think I hit his face. Woopsie.
He sounded weary. "Wait. Come back. I can explain, I promise."
I turned round to confront him."Oh, really? Who are you then? And why won't you tell me your name?!" I spat the words at him, but he remained calm. I had a strong urge to punch him, but a stronger instinct told me not to. Why did I listen to it? Because I sick. Sick in the head.
"Then sit down, and I will tell you everything. “He whispered, defeated. "Just don't kill me."
I slumped down, waiting for what he had to say. I was being too kind. But he had saved my life, after all. I gave in. Hesitantly, he put his fingers on my forehead, pulling it towards his. He closed his eyes.
"Err, what are you doing?" I asked, leaning away. I didn't like this.
"Just relax, and close your eyes. This won't hurt a bit," he assured me.
Ok, I thought. Here goes nothing.
