Tadah, I really made it to bring a chapie for each story up tonight (Well at least here it's night). Ain't I good? Irish Fury: I'm really glad you keep reviewing this story, otherwise, I guess I would just stop it because I would think that it stinks to hell and just threw it into the garbage.





Nightshade woke up bathed in sweat and completely out of breath. She was shaking violently and tears were streaming down her cheeks. It took her some time to calm down and then, she fell exhausted back into the pillow. Her breath steadied slowly while her eyes where still wide open. The nightmares of her past had come back to haunt her. And the worst part of it was that it wasn't only the nightmares but also Spot.

If it wouldn't have been for the girls, she would just leave New York as soon as possible. But the others wanted to stay, and she wouldn't leave them just like that! She arose and walked barefooted over the cold floor of her room towards the window. She opened it and walked out onto the fire escape.

She loved the night wind. It was cool and it cleared her mind a bit. She knew that she shouldn't sit there in the cold and out of all not while she was still in her sweat-wet clothes. She had to smile slightly when she thought that Witch would tell her that if she could see her now. Looking up at the sky she saw a dim light rising slowly. She decided to head up to the roof to watch the sunrise. While she smoked a cigarette she watched the new day rise in beautiful colors over New York. But the smile that had appeared on her face soon faded when she thought at the meeting with Spot today. Maybe she should take the others with her?

NO! that would just make him think she would be scared of him. Well, it was the true after all but she didn't have to bring him the proofs on a silver plate. No, she would just go alone. She survived it once, she would survive it again, right? For some odd reason her mind didn't agree with her there. Nightshade sighed and stretched before she headed back into her room.

"What would I give for a shower right now!" She sighed when she changed her clothes. She looked at the sweaty shirt in her hands and tried to remember where she had gotten it. Blue wasn't one of her colors in clothing. If you can say anything about colors since Black was the only color her clothes had. She rubbed her eyes and shrugged when she took another look at the shirt she always slept in. on the shoulder was a spot of tried blood which had never been washed out. She threw it to the ground and laid back in her bed for about an hour before she would have to stay up.



"No way I'm gonna let you go there on your own! I'm coming with you like it or not!" Snake stood between the front door and Nightshade her arms crossed in front of her chest. Her eyes narrowed and her lips a thin line. "She's right! We won't let this Bastardo come close to our leader!" Fury walked right next to Snake imitating her behavior. "Do I have the chance to go without you?" She asked looking at the two. "Non, ma cherie, and I'm coming to!" Dash grinned at her looking forward to get out of the house. Nightshade sighed and threw her hands up in the air. She pushed Snake and Fury aside and walked out of the house the other three right behind her. Nightshade smoked awfully lot cigarettes on her way to the Brooklyn lodging house. When she had finished one, she had already the next one lit. "I think you should stop smoking so much, ne pas?!" Nightshade threw Dash an angry glare and lit the next cigarette. Dash sighed and rolled her eyes.

When they saw the lodging house Nightshade stopped in midtrack. She swallowed hard and lit herself another cigarette to calm her nerves. Dash wondered if Nightshade still had some nerves that weren't dumb by now but knew better than to ask her. "Okay, then let's go!"



So, be nice and review, please?
