The Raven and the Racetrack *** Chapter 15
A couple of weeks passed, and Aces and Alicat didn't talk to each other at all. Around this time Alicat met up with and started hanging out with him. Raven didn't trust Alicat's judgement on this guy. How many would trust someone named Nightmare. Nightmare was Alicat's new boyfriend. Alicat had confided in Raven that he was all right, and that she would only see him until she knew that Aces was jealous.
Raven was upset. Everyone knew it. Everyone knew that Alicat was going with this guy. The newsies didn't like it. But when anyone tried to tell her to break it off now, she didn't listen. Raven didn't know what to do. She tried talking to Alicat, and she tried everything that she could think of. But Alicat wouldn't be persuaded.
Racetrack was mad. He didn't know what to do. Alicat was being a spoiled bitch lately, and wouldn't listen to anyone. She was going with a guy that everyone knew was trouble, but she didn't care. She was going to do what she wanted to do. Racetrack hated it, because it made Raven a nervous wreck.
Raven could have killed Alicat when she brought Nightmare to meet everyone. Raven could feel the tension in the room when Nightmare walked in. Raven was so mad. She looked at Alicat. Alicat looked scared to death.
Aces was there with the some other Brooklyn newsies. He took one look at Nightmare, and he tensed up. He looked at Alicat.
"Hey Alicat, can I'se talk ta ya?"
"Yeah...what aboit?"
"Its kinda private, can we talk in da other room?"
"I'se guess, but only foy a minute. I'se not here ta talk ta ya, I'se here ta talk ta Raven and Racetrack."
Raven cringed when she heard Alicat use Aces' words against him. She knew that Alicat was scared. She knew because of the look on her face. She also knew, because they were twins, and had a special connection.
"OK." He said.
Raven wanted more than anything to follow them into the next room, but the best she could do would be to listen through the wall as best as she could. She heard yelling. They must love yelling at each other. When Alicat came out, Nightmare said:
"Let's go Alicat, I'se want ta take a walk."
Alicat looked petrified. She looked at Raven. Her face screamed 'Help me!' Raven followed them to the door. She heard Nightmare say:
"We's gonna have fun tonight."
Raven almost fainted.
