Chapter Ten
Previously on Finding Her Destiny............
That night they went to get Jack out but when they got there he was being taken away from the children's house in a carriage and they followed that to the big newspaper mans house. "Well it looks like Mr. Pulitzer wanted a visitor" she smirked.
"Wonders what he wants with Jack" Spot muttered.
"I do not know but I will get him away" Davey said. The others nodded and when Jack came out they took off and Davey grabbed Jack and ran. A hour later Davey came back with no Jack. And they wondered why Jack did not leave, when they knew he hated Mr. Pulitzer.
The next morning they got their answered. Buffy was by Spot as they protested the ones coming out. That is when Jack came out all dressed up in a nice suit. The first thought that went through their heads is that he flipped, he is on their side now, he is a traitor. Davey and Jack got into it and soon Davey was back in the crowd and they all watched him leaving holding his new papers with his nice new fancy suit Joseph Pulitzer gave him.
Everyone including Buffy was amazed by what Jack was doing. None of them thought they would ever see the Jack would ever be a scabber. There has to be a reason for it there has to be she thought to herself. Putting a hand on Spot's arm she looked up at him knowing he would feel hurt and betrayed by Jack and what he was doing.
"That traitor" Race burst out with. "Hes turned traitor" he said and glaring at the way Jack went. "And here I thought hes was one of us."
"It has to be for a reason to spy on em" Les said. And Buffy hoped he was right, she also knew that sometimes you did what you had to do to surive in the world. Not being able to judge his actions without knowing the reason why behind them she did not speak.
"We don't need Jack" Davey said. "We can do this without him" he looked around.
"Yeah" the rest of the newsies shouted.
After a few minutes of talking they broke up into groups. Davey had to get home to eat and so him and Les left. The others along with Buffy wandered over to the usual place to eat to get lunch. They were surprised though they did not see Les or Davey for the rest of the day. But that morning they got together and Davey told them where to come. When they showed up at the distributor out back she saw Jack down in the basement with Davey, Denton, and Sarah. Buffy knew they must have a plan to get them all here.
"Wes are given these all out to kids alls over the city. We will really bring the big guys down" Jack said. "Sos pass these all around to everyone" he said. Each one of them took a stack and Buffy took hers.
"Ise can pass these around Brooklyn" Spot said. "I knows some of youse will go as fars as youse can."
"Yeah" they shouted. Soon the group broke up and headed in different directions. Buffy passed out the paper to every teenager and kid she saw.
Davey was walking with Buffy and glanced over at her. "So you and Spot huh?"
"What do you mean me and Spot? Yeah we are friends." Buffy knew what he was hinting at but she was not ready to be in a relationship with Angelus and Spike out there. She had to take care of Angelus before anything.
"You love each other" he stated in a sad tone.
"I guess we do" she looked over at him. "I am just not ready thought I have something I have to deal with first. But Davey I.. I know you care for me I have noticed and I am sorry I can't return your feelings" she said honestly. "I want us to still stay friends" she said this in a hopeful tone of voice.
"Of course we will be" Davey smiled. "I did not mean to make you uncomfortable" he said.
"It is fine back home a guy named Xander who was my best friend loved me for years. And we stayed best friends through it all so I know we can."
"Do you miss them? Your friends?"
"Yeah I do a lot but I know my destiny is here. I know they are okay" she said honestly. "My time was up with them" she said. Coming to terms with that was hard but it was the best thing to do. Because this way she can accept her destiny really was here, none of them knew though when she talked about she meant her past in the future, one day she would tell them just not today.
"That is good some would take it hard. But you seem so mature for your age."
"I had to grow up fast Davey" she said with honesty. "I became a adult at a young age I had to. Which I am fine with it is all part of my destiny."
"You are big on destiny."
"Yeah I am I have learned it is what controls where my life goes" she said and shrugged. Passing out her last paper she saw he did not have anymore either. "Guess we should get back."
"Yeah I am glad we could talk" he said honestly.
"Me to" Buffy said and smiled. When they joined the rest of the group she looked for Spot but could not see him. Figuring he was still in Brooklyn spreading the word and sending his boys out to.
"I sees youses still helpen" Jack smiled and gave her a hug.
Hugging him back she smiled. "Yep I am."
"Well good wese need all we can get."
"Think all the people are going to show up?" Buffy asked.
"Ise hope so" Race said and took smoke of his cigar.
"I am sure they will" Les said with enthusiasm.
"Wes will see" Jack said.
Time passed and it seemed like no one was coming. Suddenly they heard a big roar around the corner. Laughing she saw the kids of the city converging on the area in front of Mr. Pulitzers home and where the newspapers are distributed. Turning with a smile when she heard a group shout Brooklyn she saw Spot with all of his boys. When they joined the group she went to his side. When they all started yelling it did not take Mr. Pulitzer long to want to talk to Jack and so him and Davey went in to talk to him. When they came out the group waited to hear what they had to say. When Jack put Les on his arms to yell out we won the crowd broke into cheers. Buffy had no idea what came over her but she turned and wrapped her arms around Spot and kissed him. She felt his arms go around her and kiss her back. "We won" she whispered when she pulled back from from the kiss.
"Yeah we did and so did I, I got you to show your feelings to me in front of everyone" he chuckled and kissed her again.
Kissing him back she smiled into the kiss. "Yeah you did" she said when she pulled back for air. By then the crowd was dispersing with a happy air knowing they would have more rights now as kids and human beings.
"Finally youse are kissen" Jack laughed. He looked at the group then at the president that showed up during all of this that brought Denton to the crowd. "Can I gets a ride to the train?"
Everyone including Buffy gasped and stared at him in shock. "Jack why?"
"Santa Fe is callin" he said. He told everyone good by and got in the carriage. They watched him take off and he felt his heart break, he would miss them all they were more then friends they were family to, but his dream was always Santa Fe.
"I will miss him" Buffy said and leaned into Spot who had his arm around her.
"Mese to" Spot said. They turned as a group to go in and let the boys get newspapers, Spot was going to hang there for the day especially since he finally got Buffy to make a move in front of others. When a cry went up they saw Jack coming back in the carriage with a smile he jumped down thanks Teddy Roosevelt for advice and face everyone. Next thing you knew Jack was kissing Sarah, it seemed another couple was forming this very day.
After the kiss it was time to get to work. Spot worked with them for the day all the while not leaving Buffy's side. They were still celebrating that night outside the lodging house.
"Well lover I can see your happy about the victory" a voice said. They watched as a tall man with dark hair and looked dangerous came out of the shadows. They had no idea who he was talking to.
Buffy jumped and glared. "Go away Angelus" she growled out. "Or I will make you."
"Oohhh you get me all hot when you act like that" he smirked.
"I will make you a big pile of dust if you don't leave."
"Buffy knows him?" Race said confused.
"Wait your friends don't know who or what you are" he taunted.
"Don't you dare" she threatened him.
"Your girl here"he looked directly at Spot. "Is Buffy Summers the Slayer, she kills vampires and demons from hell. And she is from the future but apparently the powers that be want her to think her destiny is with you boy when it is me. I kill you all and take her back even if I have to beat her to make her mine."
"Youse are not gonna touch her" Spot stood up with a glare. He was scared of this man but he would not let him touch Buffy.
"How are you going to stop me any of you" he smirked.
"I will stop you" Spike said putting out a cigarette and coming out.
"Spike" she breathed out.
"Hey kitten lets take care of daddy shall we?" he smirked at the blond slayer.
"Yes lets." She pulled off her skirt and blouse and under it she had on a tank top and a pair of black lather pants. Letting her blond hair down she took out a stake and she was ready to fight. "Lets go" she purred out.
They boys stared at Buffy in amazement they have never seen her this way before. She looked so predatory and dangerous. Somehow they all knew instinctively to stay out of this that she needed to do it.
"I do perfer this on you" Angelus looked her over. He could not wait to posses her and make her his forever.
"Enough chit chat you great poof" Spike said. The way Angelus looked over Buffy made his skin crawl and see red. He lashed out with a kick and knocked Angelus down.
"Two against one not fair but fun" Angelus said and got up. He vamped out which he heard the boys gasp and was glad. Might scare them away from Buffy.
"Oohh scary" she rolled her eyes. She punched him in face sending him reeling back. "Spike let me do this please?"
"Okay kitten it is yours" he stood back. "I will watch your back though."
"See baby you can't defeat me" Angelus said. "You may have been Spike's lover but you will end up mine forever."
"The hell I will" she growled out. The fight began in earnest everything else was blocked out. He picked up a sword suddenly and threw the other to her. "I remember these I killed you with it the first time."
"This time is different I win" he said. Both were sweaty and she had some blood from a few wounds and some holes in her shirt.
They boys watched her fight amazed, any normal person would be dead by now or ready to say they were giving up. But not her she was going strong, they were seeing the caged animal they only got a glimpse of that day they got arrest. Spot looked on with pride as his girl could hold her, that is what she meant by she can handle herself, she really could.
"Amazin isn't she?" Spike said from his spot. "Lucky bloke you are to get her heart. Take care of her or I will kill you. The Slayer had a lot of heart break I just want her happy and you make her happy."
Spot could tell this man loved Buffy to. "I will I promise Ise have never loved anyone as much as Ise loves her."
"Good" he nodded his eyes not going off the fight.
"Shese can handle a sword right good" Race said.
"Kitten has had practice before" Spike said. He stood up straighter when he saw Angelus stab her in the arm but she kept on going.
Buffy was taking it all out on him. Ten minutes later she had his sword and had her sword to his neck. She actually saw fear and knew that he will not bother her again. "I am sorry Angel" she whispered. She pushed the sword down and beheaded him. He turned into dust under her. She landed on her knees breathing hard the swords clattering to the ground. She picked up Angels ring and slipped it in her pocket. A few tears escaped and she looked up and swore she heard a thank you. Standing up she turned to the group and then promptly passed out.
