Hey this is my first fan fiction so it might not be as good as other
people's stories so cut me some slack.
You also probably will notice that I am not an exceptional speller and spell check doesn't help to much lol.
Disclaimer: The newsies are great, but I don't own them, if I did I sure as heck wouldn't be writing fan fiction lol. So don't sue me please beside all you would get out of it would be fifty cents.
Chapter summery:
In this chapter you get to know the main character Gemini and how she came to NY and why. Plus I would like to note that that whole thing about Spot and Crooks will come out soon…and if you haven't gathered after reading the chapter Crooks is the bad guy not Spot.
Now on to the story….
Crooks Revenge
We, meaning my partner Crooks and I, had only been in New York for a few days. He had been showing me around and telling me all about the city. Of course a lot of things had changed since he lived here but not too much.
"Look over dere Gem! Dats where my old sellin spot was." He smiled and pointed to a very crowded street corner. I smiled back half heartedly. Still glancing around nervously to see if anyone had recognized him.
Crooks left when he was twelve, his reason being that he wasn't safe anymore. He said all of Brooklyn was looking for him cause this kid named Spot Conlon told everyone he had killed this guy named Boxes. Spot had betrayed Crooks and took over the Brooklyn newsies, and kicked him out of Brooklyn. Then again that's what Crooks told me. There's something you have to understand about him, see Crooks has a certain way of improving the truth, he says it just a habit from his pape selling days. Either way I had no choice but to trust him. He's the only one who ever cared about me. I was still nervous though.
The next few days it was just me and him gathering up some of his old gang, and him teaching me about the city, the back alleys, where there were spies. My job is to stay out of sight. He wants me to be his eyes and ears, since I am new to the city nobody will recognize me. He's going to take back his territory from Spot, I knew he was expecting a war.
The next day I decided to go out on my own and get accustomed to big city life, see Santa Fe, that's where I'm from, is quite small in comparison. In Santa Fe there's one of everything, just one town, one restaurant, and a lot more "ones" I could list. But here in the city theres was plenty of everything and more. I smiled just thinking how much better the big city was then that crapy one horse town Santa Fe.
I walked through Queens I remembering the first day I saw Crooks. He was tall skinny, deffinatly not used to the sunny Santa Fe weather. I took him in and taught him how to survive there. Crooks always talked about New York, mostly about Brooklyn. Telling me stories about his many adventures. He promised one day he'd take me back to New York with him and that we could rule Brooklyn together. And now here we are in NY living our dream. It seems different though because back then I thought it was just exaggeration, but now I am not so sure, all this talk about turfs and leaders, I am beginning to think he really meant it.
