Siren tried to stay awake. She heard her father talking to the boys
outside. 'Why are they still here? Don't they have a home?' This Spot-guy
had really gotten on her nerves. She couldn't understand what they were
talking outside and so she fell asleep.
In the middle of the night Siren woke up, not really sure why. She just had an odd feeling. She listened in the dark. What was this? She thought after she had heard something. Then there was it again. This time she knew what it was.
"KAMA!" Siren whispered in the dark. She arose from her bed and walked to the door of her wagon slowly. Her leg still hurt. When she went down the three stairs and walked over the grass she saw that some people laid there. After she took a closer look she recognized the six newsies. Each of them had a thin mattress between them and the ground and a thin blanket for cover. Luckily it was a warm night so they didn't need anything more. If she had heard the conversation between her father and the boys earlier, she would have known, that Eddy had asked them for help. And that the boys themselves had decided to sleep outside any wagon.
Siren swore under her breath that the newsies remained here at the circus, and stepped over them towards the cages. She was just about to reach Kama when someone grabbed her by the waist and pressed his hand over her mouth.
Siren's eyes widened in shock, and her heart beat double as fast as usually. Every single muscle in her tensed up, but she couldn't fight against the man who was holding her in an iron grip. She was carried back into the stables into one of the boxes in the back.
The pure fear was rising in Siren. She wasn't sure if she wanted to know what was going on here.
"Just stay calm when I let you go, okay?" The man whispered into Siren's ear. She was still too shocked to vocally reply, so she just nodded slowly. She was released from his grip and he turned her around to face him.
"YOU!" She yelled, her shock vanished.
"WHAT?…" Spot laid his hand over her mouth again, he only whispered
"Shh! Will you shut up?"
"Why should I?" She asked when he released her again.
"Shh. There is someone outside! Someone, who doesn't want to be noticed. And if you go one yelling like that, I don't want to know what'll happen to us!"
"What d'you mean 'There is someone' ?" Spot laid his finger on his lips and pointed out in the dark.
There Siren saw a shadow walking towards the stables. The horses became nervous and stamped with their hoofs. Spot and Siren looked at the dark figure while he put something in the trough with the fodder for the horses. The shadow turned around while Siren tried to hide further back in the box, but knew it was a mistake. The hay rustled slightly. Siren held her breath when they heard the shadow coming towards their box.
Spot, who hid in the shadow himself, saw something flash up in the pale moonlight.
'This guy has a gun!' he thought, while his mind was racing to find a way to save him and Siren. Then he did the first thing that came in his mind.
He went close to Siren and before she knew what had happened, Spot had laid her back in the hay and kissed her. After the moment of shock was over, she tried to get away from him. But Spot hold her in an iron grip. Her eyes were wide opened and then she saw this shadow standing behind Spot, pointing a gun at them! He stood there for several minutes longer and Spot moved his hands down to her waist and to her hip letting it look more realistic.
Soon, they heard the shadow walking away. Spot stayed in his position a few more minutes to make sure the man was really gone. The same moment he let go of Siren she slapped him hard across the face.
"Who do you think you are?!"
"Forgive me that I saved your life!" Siren glared at Spot.
"I told you before, I don't need anybody's help!" She arose and walked back to her wagon. 'This guy is a real pain in the ass!' She thought while she walked into her wagon and laid down in her bed.
Spot stood in the box and touched his cheek carefully. He could already feel it becoming red.
"This girl is pure danger! Like you would hold dynamite in your hands and it could explode any second! This arrogant, spoiled little brat!" Suddenly a sly smile came over his face when he thought about the feelings he had while kissing her.
"She sure is danger, but…"
