I woke up with a pounding headache and groaned in pain looking around the room…I was in my pajamas but they have blood on it and some beer stains. I grimaced and stood up slowly and felt the ache in my chest, arms and head. I walked slowly to the bathroom and looked at my reflection and pushed my chest length curly brown hair and smiled a bit it seemed forced though. I love my hair it has blonde, red, and other shades of brown as natural highlights. My green eyes stared out at me and I sighed a bit they have a splash of yellow in the center like a burst of sunlight. I focused on my injuries next and saw a bruise forming on my left eye, a few bruised ribs, and a cut on my stomach from before.
I went and showered and changed into a pair of loose sweatpants a long sleeve shirt and put makeup on my eye. I sighed a bit and walked out of the rundown apartment and through the streets of new York city…well manhatten to be exact. My best friend and Ally Amanda was next to me soon enough and we linked arms and went into the road but didn't notice the oncoming car and the hole into the sewers in front of us.
"oh shit!" I yelled as I tripped and fell right in and Amanda followed soon enough. I hit the ground pretty hard and groaned in pain and Amanda fell ontop of me her black hair flung forward smacking me in the face. "goddamnit Amanda" I muttered annoyed and I looked around and the sewers looked…newer..if that made any sense and I heard the clopping of hooves above us. I gingerly pushed Amanda off me and I looked around and squealed scared at the rat next to me.
"amber…shut up" Amanda groaned sitting up and knocking some old carrots and cabbage off of her. "OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE WEARING!" she yelled scared I was confused and I saw her wearing trun of the century boys clothes and so am I. I am wearing black slacks, a pair of longjohns, a green button up shirt and a black hat was laying next to me. Amanda is wearing a pair of bornw pants, long johns, brown suspenders and a brown button up shirt. She snapped my black suspenders and was confused and looked at her shoes.
"this is too fucking weird" I muttered and soon the light shining over us was covered and turned dark we both looked up and saw a few people looking in.
"well looky what we got heah boys…two damsels in distress..dear me dat is an unpleasant aroma" one boy said in a thick manhatten accent.
"well race do you suppose we should help dem out?" another voice asked with laughter in his voice. Amanda and I looked at eachother so fucking confused. I heard them talking abck and forth and I had enough standing up and stumbled a bit I was aching all over from my beating before along with falling in a hole.
"WILL YOU JUST FUCKING HELP US GET SOME GODDAMN ROPE!" I yelled annoyed and Amanda laughed a bit my ankle throbbed a bit ad I cringed and Amanda was favoring her right arm.
"dere goils race!" someone yelled and a roped was lowered down I was confused and I looked at the boy above us annoyed.
"youse had dat da whole fuckign time!" I yelled angrily and he chuckled nervously at me and sighed a bit.
"ise wont help youse two if you don't stop exploding like a goddamn war cannon" he said and I sighed annoyed and let Amanda go up first and she was pulled up and soon enough I was too.
"what year is it" I asked amazed looking around and Amanda snatched a paper and gasped pointing at the year and day. September 1st 1899. I was n complete shock…race…the boy…the other one with a lasso and a cowboy hat…one with curly brown hair…I am in the turn of the century with Newsies…after the strike…holy fuck!
