Eva`s POV-

Well, would you look at that. We managed to escape after Mr. Bumble was dragging us through the streets. Got a few strange looks… me mainly for my smallness and not wearing anything proper. When I got into the Workhouse that day they took it away so my dress was very straight whilst their ones were puffy and like a ball gown.

Quickly, we bolted out of the crowds ignoring Mr. Bumbles protests and constant cries.

" COME BACK HERE, BRATS! " He cried out angrily to fat to try and chase us.

After constant walking, we came across a carriage carrying many fruits and vegetables. After a very quick debate, we climbed lazily onto the cart and we waited a fair few days of catching up on sleep.

7 DAYS LATER

Oliver and I peeked out through a togn of cabbages and greens which look rather vomitable. Rapidly, we launched from the cart and walked up to a wall and stood for a while… thinking about how life would be and how it would play out. Inside, we were all worried, and it was not helping that my dress is tight on my chest making it hard to breath.

" Oh, please calm down, Eva! We will be fine! We will- " he said but got of by him turning too look at someone.

I turned in the direction of what he was staring at. In fact, it was a thing it was a he. Rather cute boy with an adorable top hat, blue jacket , checkered shirt , striped trousers , black boots, a white wipe tied around his neck lose , cute small freckles , dirty but rosy cheeks , brown flat hair and chocolate brown eyes. I caught myself staring at him but stopped in case he thought I was a huge creep.

" Wha` ar` yer starin` at? Hav` yer never seen a toff? " The cute boy asked Oliver.

Slowly, I turned on my heel to face the young boy who was about my age. Soon, he turned to look at me. We stared at each other for a bit before he smirked and winked at me. Embarrassed, my face flushed a deep, crimson red.

" No, never! " Exclaimed little- OK! He comes up to my forehead he is not little! Well, Oliver actually is considering I am VERY small.

Sneakily, the boy turned to pick up some food of a tray and tossed us some.

" `ungry? " He asked.

" Oh, yes! We`ve been walking for seven days, " Oliver told him.

I just nodded finally feeling my blush go down a LITTLE! This is the problem with Irish people you blush for no reason and when you do it takes forever to calm down!

" Ah.. " Dodger said focusing on the food. " Well, I s`ppouse yer an` prett`y `ady `ave `ome `here to `leep `onight, aye? "

" No, " I said sadly.

" Do you know anywhere? " Oliver asked.

I nudged him a bit, honestly Oliver means well but sometimes is a bit to trusting. How do we know we wont get kidnapped and starved?

" Oh, no, no, " Dodger shook his head, but had made a look of realisation face, " as it `o `appens I `now a `esprectible old gentalmen! Who `ill `ive you `odgin` for nothin`! "

" Really? This must be a very kind old gentalmen, " Oliver asked.

"... Oh, yes, yes `es `ery `ind! " Dodger said before glancing at me… so happens he`s about an inch taller then me, " how old are you, miss? "

" Fifteen, " I said shyly.

" … AN` YOU`RE `HAT `MALL!? " He asked aloud before realising he`s only an inch taller but you can definitely tell he`s stronger, " never mind… "

I glared at him a bit making him turn red but smirk and wink at me.. Seriously, does he have a eye infection?

" `nyways, if yer `oming `long, I `eed to know `ho yer are! " Dodger said making his red face die down… how he do dat?

" Oliver! Oliver twist, " Oliver introduced.

" Eva, Eva Cadwell, " I told him.

" Eva, `retty name `or a `retty `ady! " I blushed at that… OH THANKS A LOT! " I`m Jack Dawkins! `etter `nown to `y `ntamate `riends as `he Artful Dodger! "

" Please to meet you, Dodger, " I said.

" Are you sure the old gentalman wont mind? " Oliver asked.

" `ind!? " Dodger said

After that LONG musical, Dodger led us through an alley way before helping us over a skinny plank of wood. I almost fell, but Dodger catched me by the waist…

DODGER`S POV-

I saw the most beautiful girl about the fall in the muddy,dirty and rotten canal. Quickly, I pushed my arms out to catch her and I ended up grabbing her waist…. Have I meantioned she`s beautiful, cute , friendly, serious at times , can take a joke and is not repalled by the fact I pick pocket! I think I like- NO! DODGER NO! BAD, BAD, BAD! Did I just scold myslef in my head? I think I did.

" `ou OK, `here? " I asked.

" All good! " She said hopping off the plank.

I was a bit sad… I wanted to hold her- … should I scold myself again? Yes, I should. BAD DODGER, BAD DODGER, BAD, BAD, BAD!

I followed her off the plank and jogging off to the house…

I Hope They Like Them… But, Not The Same Way I Like Eva...

She`s mine… and i`m never letting go.

BAD DODGER!
