Running down the road it was raining heavily and I couldn't find were to stay, a shelter. Just before I could wipe away the rain preventing me from seeing clearly I bumped into someone and fell into the mould.

Looking up it was a young boy, looking a year older than me.

"Sorry" I murmured still in the mould.

" You don't need to I was also careless" he said dragging me up.

He had heard me clearly even though I had murmured to myself.

Just as I stood up, I didn't run off immediately.

" You don't have a place to stay?"

" Yes."

" You can stay with me then, let's walk home."

Running after him I couldn't believe I was following someone I just met. Someone I didn't know his name or any details about him a total stranger.

Realizing that I wanted to turn back but I can't make such a decision, not in a situation like this. He is my savior, a helper I wasn't expecting. I thought again and continued to run after him.

Just as we got to a halt, in front of a little house. So obvious no one was home.

Letting the door open,

"Live here alone? 'cause I can't see anyone."

" Yeah, I live alone."

"Abandoned?"

"No, orphan."

" Sorry, I know how it feels "She said looking around,

She was not the only one the world turned back at, there were really many people out there like her.

" Hungry?" he asked.

" Yeah, pretty." I couldn't believe I was doing that, but I can't hold back the hunger.

" So lost ?" he finally asked after we were done pulling off the wet dresses and having our meal.

" No not really, just that I have no destination. "

"Oh, your alone, an orphan?"

" Yeah "

" When did they leave."

" I really didn't set my eyes on them."

" So you were living with?"

"An old woman."

"So you got tired and ran away."

" No, she died when I was seven."

" Oh sorry."

" Don't be , it isn't really bad you know. I have never experienced a parental care so I don't feel bad for the loss. So you, did you lose them at birth?"

"No, not really I was five when they both died in an accident."

" So you lived alone since their death."

"No I lived with my aunt till I was eight.

" So you ran out"

" I decided I didn't need her again 'cause she never treated me great"

"That's bad."

"Not that bad, I have my freedom you know. So what's your name?"

"Me ? I don't have any "

"What do you mean?"

"I was called little lamb by the old woman. Since I was born, I was known as little lamb."

"That's very bad, so I will have to call you little lamb?"

"Yeah, 'cause that's what am known as."

"Not so bad, am Billy Wilson."

"Billy, that's a great name . Am little lamb." she said, smiling.

Laughing out loud he couldn't believe it,that someone could be so silly like his new friend, bearing such a silly name.

"That's so silly of you."

"I don't think it's silly 'cause I just introduced myself as you did."

"Puff! That's it for the night. The rain has stopped we have to get to bed, it's already late." he said standing from the wooden seat.

"I would like to take you around the city, as a tour knowing more about my city. Are you in?"

" That's nice of you, sound so interesting as something I would love to do . Am in."

"Yeah, very interesting and fun especially the beach you will love it. Have you ever tried staring at the stars at night beautiful, sounds weird huh not something you would be expecting me to be in to. But it's really a great sight and mind cooling, peaceful."

"The stars ? I have never thought of that but now I find it interesting. I will try it out."

"Good night, little lamb."

"Night."
