Chapter 9 ~ Midnight Revenge
Reina lay ontop of her bed. She found it difficult to sleep. It had been an exciting day for her but she was pretty sure that wasn't that problem.
Perhaps it was Butters snoring from the bunk beneath her.
Maybe it was the thoughts of Kid invading her mind. She still couldn't figure out why she found him so damn attractive...
Yes, he was cute and...a little ... mischievous
Yes he had that smile that could make a thousand girls fall over at once...
But so did Spot.
Reina blinked. Where had that thought come from?
Then all at once there was now another thought keeping her awake.
Spot...
Reina did feel a little bad about hitting Spot, but she had just grown so tired of him. So she only felt a LITTLE bad.
Reina shifted on her pillow. She hadn't bothered to change.
"Arrghh..." Reina huffed, now ticked. It was painfully obvious that she wouldn't be sleeping tonight.
She glanced about and gingerly hopped down from her bunk. She checked to make sure Butters hadn't woken up. Of course he hadn't. A blizzard, tornado AND earthquake could hit New York but still it would fail to ever wake up Butters. Or so she had been told. Seems Figgy had been right.
Figgy was another boy Reina had grown fond of. He wasn't Kid but he had a good heart. Something that was rare to find these days. Figgy was her height with bowl cut brown hair and hazel eyes. He had a tendency to be annoying and a bit too prone to arguments, but still his actions meant well.
Reina made her way to the exit and crept down the hall with stealth. She made it out successfully and headed to the docks. She just needed time to think. Not about Spot...Kid or being a newsie.
Just time to think about herself.
Reina made her way to the docks. Once there she sat on a small wooden pillar. She didn't really like to think about her past...or herself for that matter. But sometimes she couldn't help it.
Reina couldn't count the times she had wished that she could erase her own memory. She wanted to forget all the terrible things she had known.
She looked down at her reflection. Her wavy hair had been pulled back into a tight, yet messy bun. Her cheeks were still smeared with dirt but seemed to have only gathered more.
.·."Clean yourself up...I want things to be perfect...".·.
.·."...It's just Dad...".·.
.·."I know honey..." the woman then stopped her fussing about the kitchen table and turned to look at her daughter. "I want it to be special...".·.
Reina looked at the water, entranced and whispered the last few words of the memory out loud. "...Not like he'll care..."
Something then whizzed past her head. It startled Reina back into reality. Maybe too much so because she fell off the pillar and into the water with a splash. Reina didn't have time to scream as she was underwater before she could do so.
Reina surfaced immediately. She glared, looking to seize the moron who had done that and quite frankly...murder them.
A figure stepped forward and crossed their arms in triumph.
"Takin a little swim dere, Kitten?"
Reina glared daggers.
"'Don't call me DAT'" Reina said in a mock tone of Spot's, quoting his own words.
Spot allowed a cruel smirk to cross his lips. "Consider dat payback for dat punch earlier...Kitten"
Reina felt the familiar blood boiling anger return that only Spot Conlon could arise within her soul.
"I suppose you're proud of yourself..." Reina shot. Her voice came out sharp and challenging.
Exactly what she had hoped.
"Well...actually...I am. Tanks" Spot said, still smirking. At that very moment Reina erased the smirk from his face by grabbing his pants leg and pulling him in. There was a loud splash and Reina dove for the pillar. She found a small rope tied to it, usually used for climbing out. However Reina had other...ideas...
When Spot snapped out of it and finally realized what had happened, it was too late. A rope was tied gently but firmly knotted, around his neck. Reina now was the one to stand on top of the dock.
Spot clung to the pillar to stay afloat. "...If yous have any smarts...yous would untie this rope around me neck!" he spat angrily.
Reina could only smile.
"Or what? You'll kick me out? ...I find that hard when I AM your top newsie at the moment"
She was relishing this moment.
"Why yous damn broad!!" Spot hollered. His hands clawed to untie the rope but it was to no avail.
"Well...I guess I'll be getting some sleep now. Nighty night MISTER Conlon" Reina said sweetly with a wave.
Spot watched her like she was joking. His face then turned an angry red. Reina walked away ignoring his curses and foul names. However one sentence caught her attention. Only one...
"Yous is gunna pay for dis!! MARK ME WORDS!"
