Some notes:
Katherine is still dead. Like in my other story, Flora.
Their kid's names are Emmeline Katherine Lucille Kelly and Levi Jack David Kelly.
Jack's kids are twins.
Levi's leg got busted up (his leg had been rolled over by a wagon) had and uses a crutch like his Uncle Crutchie.
Pulitzer never offered Jack the job as a cartoonist.
Jack still sells papes as a newsie.
Emmy and Levi now sell papes.
The Kellys still live in the news boys lodge.
I don't own Newsies.
Chapter One
The Kellys were starving. Emmy and Levi had gotten Jack's newsie talents. But the papers still weren't selling well that winter. Even with Levi's leg no one seemed to take pity on them. All the other newsies tried to ignore their stomachs rumbling at night.
"Emmy. Levi. I want ya to find Uncle Race. I's gonna try selling somewhere else," Jack told them one day.
"Alright, Papa," Emmy replied.
Jack kissed Emmy and Levi's cheeks. He left. Emmy took her brother's hand. Instead of finding Race, the two started off to the market. The scent of fresh bread from the bakery made their mouths water.
"Levi, we's gonna be sneaky. We each gonna take a small loaf of bread. Kay?" Emmy whispered to Levi.
"But, Emmy, " Her twin protested, "Stealin's bad!"
"We's hungry, Leaves. That man doesn't need da bread like us!" Emmy sound sounded like she was going to cry.
She hated crying in front of her brother. Emmy needed to be strong for her brother. But, there were times that Emmy felt like she wasn't doing a good job. That she was an awful sister.
Levi nodded. When the shop owner was busy, Emmy and Levi each took a loaf of bread. They tucked the head into their thin coat pockets. As they started walking away, a man blocked their path. Emmy started to panic.
"Excuse me, sir," Emmy said, "We need to get home." She took Levi's hand.
"I know you stole that bread, " the man replied, "I bet your starting. Well, I know a place for children. The children there, have full stomachs and a place to sleep."
"Where would that be, sir?" Levi questioned.
"It's called the Refuge."
The twins gave each other looks of fear. Jack and the other newsies had to!d them about the Refuge. The newsies compared it with H*ll. They started to run away (as best as Levi could). But Synder caught them by their forearms.
"Your coming with me, nasty theifs!" Snyder exclaimed as he started to drag them away.
Out of the corner of her eye, Emmy saw Jack.
"Papa! Papa!" she screamed , tears flowing down her cheeks. She tried to push Snyder away with her free hand.
Jack noticed his children being dragged away. With all his anger and fear boiling up inside of him, Jack started to sprint. But the marketplace was crowed. Jack was constantly being pushed away. Synder turned around to see what his prisoners were screaming at. When he saw Jack, his wicked face twisted into a sickening smile. At last Synder could get his revenge o Jack Kelly. Snyder pulled harder on the children. Emmy punched Synder's hand with all her might.
"Shut up, girl!" Snyder yelled.
The last Jack was of Emmy and Levi were them screaming and crying as they were being dragged off to the Refuge.
Before I publish the next chapter, could I get five reviews? That would really make me happy.
Thanks for reading!
