Darry's POV

I didn't get any sleep that night. I could only imagine the pain Ponyboy is probably in. Sodapop woke up screaming everytime he tried to sleep.

Finally after sitting up for hours with a terrified Sodapop, Hope came back with a heater which I gladly accepted. I hoped I didn't have to use it but if it came to that I would.

I got into my truck and soon a fidgety Sodapop followed. I drove and drove until we got to an area with lots of abandoned warehouses and we began checking. Three hours we checked and checked and then we heard a groan and ran into the last warehouse he hadn't gotten to check and Sodapop nearly fell and I felt like I was going to have a heart attack.

There was Ponyboy, lying on the ground, wrapped up in a blanket and tied up, he looked like he had some bruises and like he was knocked out. We ran over to him and untied him.

"Hn…? D-darry…? Soda…?" he said in a very weak voice.

"Shh…Don't talk Ponyboy we are gonna get you home!" Soda said as he picked up Ponyboy and carried him out to the car.

I looked around to make sure Chino wasn't hiding anywhere and when I didn't see him I left and quickly got home with Pony and Soda.

When we got him home, Sodapop carried him in and changed him into pajamas and nearly smothered him with blankets.

"Soda…I'm okay." Ponyboy said trying to smile.

Soda quickly sat down next to him and checked him over quietly mumbling, "Did they hurt you Pony?"

"They knocked me out when I tried to get away…" Pony said shifting uncomfortably.

I went over to sit next to Ponyboy and I hugged him tightly. I almost lost little Pony…what would mom and dad have said if they knew I almost lost them.

"I ain't ever gonna let them take you again Pony…" I said.

Ponyboy hugged me back tightly and said that it wasn't my fault. He should have known better than to answer the door when nobody else was home. We argued about it because it was my responsibility to take care of Pony and Soda.

I would never let Chino get Pony or Soda. I had to protect them even if it meant I would die.

Selene's POV

I heard that Darry found Ponyboy which relieved me greatly. I barely slept that night, knowing Pony was in danger, he was like a brother to me.

"How do you feel today Blue Streak?" Dally asked as he walked out of the bathroom from showering.

"I feel fine Dally," I said and then continued by saying, "Now go put some pants on Dally."

Dally was walking around in nothing but a towel and I knew if Serena or JJ saw they would tell Angel and then he would try to beat the tar out of Dally.

Dally only rolled his eyes and went back into the bathroom to put some pants on. After he came out I was up and making pancakes for breakfast.

"Already making breakfast Selene?" Dally asked.

"Yeah." I said simply.

After breakfast I was about to leave for school but Dally insisted he drive me to school so I let him. I guess he was worried about me because of me being pregnant and all.

When I got to school I noticed Pony wasn't there but I didn't expect him to be there either. The day was boring and I felt tired all day. When I started to grab my stuff I heard a voice call behind me.

"Hey there greaser!" I heard the voice sneer.

I turned around quickly to see none other than an angry looking Bob and Randy there.

"Listen here girly. You are gonna take a ride with us today." Randy said sneering.

From what I guessed they thought I was friends with Hope and they were trying to get revenged because they obviously found out about Hope being pregnant and being engaged to Two-Bit.

I ignored them and grabbed my bag and walked out but they grabbed me and Bob dragged me with Randy covered my mouth with his hand.

I struggled and struggled but next thing I know they throw me in the mustang and hit me in the head. Everything went black after that, when I woke up I guessed I was in the lot, I got up and felt dull pain in my arm, I gripped it and I decided I was just gonna go home.

I kept walking along and I felt dizzy but I didn't want to cross the street so I knocked on the door to the Curtis house and was surprised to see Sodapop answer. His face went white when he saw me.

"S-selene what happened to you!" Soda said as he pulled me into the house.

"Huh? Is there something wrong Soda…?" I said.

He pulled me in front of a mirror and that's when I saw the real problem. I had small cuts on my face, a gash on my forehead and a bloody lip.

He quickly sat me down and and began to bandage me up, Pony looked sick when he saw me. Next thing I know Darry runs into the room and Dally follows.

He rushes over to me with a shocked look on his face. I don't remember much after that. I guess I blacked out because when I woke up I was in Dally's car.

"Dal…? Where are we going…?" I asked.

"To see Two-Bit and Hope. I know that they are the reason this happened to you and I ain't gonna let them get away with it!" He yelled angrily.

Next thing I know we are at Two-Bit's and Dally walks up to the door with me standing behind him and he pounded on the door angrily.

"I know you're in there! Open up Two-Bit!"
