"On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto" Elvis Presley
Our story beings in a big city with no love in its heart hours before the "big move".
"Look I'm gonna be leavin' in a few hours so I won't be abul to save you'r ass again got it." A girl with emeralds for eyes and lava for hair looks to a boy around a foot taller than her.
"I'm really gonna miss ya Lex, but you don't gotta act like I'm completely reliant on you."
"Please you'd be dead if we never met" chuckling the two hug. "Look I gotta get going okay, I'll try to stay in touch."
"I'll see you later then Lex."
"Alexia Jane Davis where have you been?" A women with black hair and sad gray eyes demanded the moment she saw the young lady.
"I was sayin bye to a friend chill I packed this morning" looking around at her home or what was her home "wheres Danny?"
"I'm right here!" The small boy ran to her for a hug.
"Danny are you ready to see our new home?" Looking down her shrugged his messy dark hair covering his eyes. "I know but I'll be by you side every step of the way. Okay?"
"Okay sis."
"Come on in the car both of you".
Tulas, Oklahoma was a rundown getto on one side and a beautiful city on the other separating them was a train track. Of course like she always had they live on the poor side. Money was hard to come by when its just a mother and her two kids. Their house was in the heart of poor. The once white paint was yellowed, chiping and all the doors seemed to creak.
"Well what guys think?"
"Its not much better than home was." Grabbing a mattress she placed it on the floor in a small room down the hall. "Its just as rundown and small as where we came from...why did we mpve again?"
"Because there was nothing for us in Chicago."
"Speak for yourself. Okay i got my stuff let's look around town Danny."
"If you find the market get us some essentials."
Waving her off the two took to the streets hopeing this town has something for them. "We've got a drive in that could be fun and a park who dosent love swings?" Sitting down they start to move themselves back or forward.
"Hey look a gresser chick."
"Bub go home."
"Bu-"
"I said go home now those guys sound like trobble."
He runs but he runs straight into someone. "I-Im sorry."
"Hey you okay kid?"
"Its my sister shes in trobble."
"Whatcha mean?"
"We were at the park amd these guys pulled up on a car. They called her a gresser, I wanted to stay with her but she told me to go home we just moved here."
"Stay with pony and Johnny okay we'll make sure shes okay."
The three boys run for the park getting there just in time to see a girl with red hair knock the knife out of a boys hand. Distracted going for the knife the other two grabed her arms just as the three made it. "Leave her alone!" The one with movie star looks yelled. Deciding it wasen't worth it at the moment the others ran.
"Thanks, y'all didn't have to."
"It was no problem you brother ran into us he was scared for you. I'm soda and this is Steven and Two-Bit."
"Its nice to meet you guys I'm Lexi. You say you ran into my brother where is he?"
"Oh hes with my little brother pony and Johnny they're coming this a way."
"Lex I'm so glad you okay!"
Picking the knife up off the ground she chuckles "I had it under control Danny boy you don't have to worry about me." Pocketing thr the knife she looks at the others. "Thanks though we should get going I'll see you guys around I'm sure of it."
