She disembarked with ease, knowing that her trunk and other possessions were on their way. The New York skyline was beautiful, although she only saw it from the Brooklyn docks. She looked for her aunt before remembering her ship was two days early her aunt wouldn't know until she showed up at her front door well the school's front door that is. For now she had to wait for both transportation and her baggage.

The energy was electric, people buying things here and there, workers on lunch or doing their job, thieves and pickpockets scurrying about, but above all she heard the call of newsboys. (A/N: see I promised didn't I?) It was them that made the thoughts enter her head back home they were her family, yes she had a father, mother and siblings but she had never fit the "proverbial mold". She was wealthy that was a given, but she couldn't stand the origins of that money. Her father, a landowner, raised the prices on the land continuously and starved out children and adults alike. This was a normal practice for landowners but most were British, her father on the other hand, was Irish. A native to the land and he starved his fellow Irish. She couldn't understand why, and so she spent as much time away from her house as possible. That's when she met him, Andrew "Rebel" Collins. A newsie yes but that mattered not to her. She had grown up with him. He was different somehow now that she looked back his face had become more angular and his muscles more defined, but that which caught most of her attention were his eyes. He had eyes that would make the seas jealous. She would, and still could, get lost in them for hours he had fire red hair, the joke was that his passion for freedom and the freedom of Ireland that had his hair so red.

She was pulled back to earth by a newsie's yell

" EXTRY, EXTRY, MAYOR'S FAMILY CAUGHT UP IN SCANDAL! MAYOR HAD MISTRESS AND WIFE ACCUSED OF HER MURDER!!!" she shook her head was nothing sacred any more? . Then thinking of keeping a memento of her arrival she decided to buy a paper. She walked over to the boy yelling the headlines and noticed first his clothes: a blue shirt, brown pants, a gray cap and most obvious of all red suspenders. (A/N you all see where I'm going with this right?) Then his eyes, they were ice cold, he showed no emotion. She knew his type, far too much hardship as a child, blocking it out was his answer.

"Excuse me but I'd like a paper." Her accent showing

"Uh sure thing miss." He replied his accent rivaling her's, he reached for a paper from his stack and asked her "If you don't mind me asking what's your name" She smirked they were the same world round.

"Saiorse Bernadette Marie Callan." She replied simply but upon seeing the boy's face she continued " but my friends call me Shamrock"

"Alright it's easier to remember and it seems to suit you."

" Thank you and you are?"

" I go by Spot." he stated proudly " and I'm the ruler of Brooklyn! I know everything that happens here and most other places too." He then spit into his hand and extended it to her, although he mentally kicked himself for it. She shocked him by doing the same then she smiled and left as a carriage pulled up with her belongings She entered with grace and flipped a dime at him she yelled

"Keep the change!" and the coach pulled away she then looked down at the paper she bought and on the front was a picture of a happy smiling family presumably the mayor's and then under it was a picture she recognized the boy had accused this woman as being the mayor's mistress but it couldn't bee not .HER aunt! *~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~*
