Okay guys, so since I got back to school tomorrow, I won't be updating More Than Just a Talent for a little while. So as a little gift, here's a quick one shot. I hope you like it.
Katherine was worried. She was leaning out her window, waiting. Jack said he would be at her apartment at 6:00 pm. It's now 7:30 pm. Where was he? He promised he would be here at exactly 6:00 pm.
Katherine couldn't take it. She knew t was late but she had no choice. She got up and grabbed her coat from the closet. She was going to head down to the lodging house and see if he was there. If not, maybe the boys knew where he was.
It was cold, and dark. Katherine needed to find jack, now. Her foot steps we quickly covered over with snow. Snowflakes stuck to her eyelashes and hair as she trekked throw the snow. No one on the streets, except a few policemen.
Up ahead, Katherine could see five black figures. She began to run. As she neared the figures she saw they were two policemen, a newsie, Snyder, and Jack. She finally reached them to see they were arguing, the two policemen holding Jack and Snyder holding the other newsie.
"What's going on?" Katherine said, interrupting the argument. Jack looked up at her, she could he was trying to apologize with his eyes. "We caught this street rat stealing food from the bakery," Snyder said motioning to the newsie he held. "Then that idiot tried to help." Snyder said motioning to Jack.
"Okay sir, I'm sorry. I'll pay for the food he stole," Katherine said pointing at the newsie. "Just please let them go." Katherine knew Snyder hated Jack. She had to get him out of this situation, fast. "I don't think so, he stole the food, and he needs to pay the price." While Snyder was talking, the boy slipped out of his grasp and ran down the street, no doubt to the lodging house.
"You, dumbass girl! You see what you did!?" Snyder pushed Katherine to the ground out of frustration. Jack couldn't take it. He elbowed the policemen in the gut and slipped out of their grasp. He rushed over to Katherine and pulled her into his arms.
"Hey, you okay?" He asked, worry overtaking his voice. Katherine pushed herself up into a sitting position. Before she could respond, jack was jerked way from her. She saw the policemen slam jack into the side of a building. When she saw him, he was hanging limp in their arms,
"Please! Stop! Let him go!"Katherine screamed, trying to get past Snyder. "Don't worry Sweetie. We're taking Jack to a place he'll be nice and safe. The Refuge." The policemen pushed Jack's unconscious form into a police carriage parked on the curb. "NO! PLEASE!"
Snyder pushed her to the ground, and rushed into the carriage. Katherine got up and chased after the carriage. She didn't get far; she sipped on ice as the carriage sped away. She watched as the carriage carried Jack to the dark place where he was plagued by nightmares. The Refuge.
Okay so, how was that. I hope that will help the wait. I'll try to update More Than Just a Talent soon. Anyways, read and review. As MusicAngel98 and KnightNight7203 say, reviews are confidence boosters! Thanks. –Aly 3
