Hey, I really made it to my computer. Ain't you glad at me?
But I'm warning you before you get the possibility to read what I'm going
to write now, because I'm damned with the flu right now. So don't kill me
if this chapter sucks.
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!"
Spot was sitting on a table with some of his guys playing poker, every few minutes looking at the clock. It was already past five and he was getting impatient, when suddenly the door burst open and Runner stormed in. "What?" "Shopkeepers,.bulls.. On the way to these girl's home. gonna arrest them." "What? Would you please try and speak english?" Runner took some deep breaths before he tried again. "the shopkeepers said they didn't want to wait for you to do something, so they told the bulls that there were these girls who robbed them, they somehow found out where they live and now the bulls are on their way to arrest them!" Spot raised his eyebrows and looked again at the clock. He was just about to ask why the bulls could find these girls but his own spies couldn't when he heard some noise outside the door. He looked with raised eyebrows around to his boys for an answer when the door slammed open and Steel fell in. He landed on his back and brought his hand to his bleeding lip. "Stupid sluts!" He murmured and was almost kicked again when Spot interrupted the fight. "What's going on here?" "Well, your pet here, didn't want to let me in, so we needed to convince him to let us in. Or better said, Fury had to convince him to." Fury stood there grinning down at Steel who was still sending curses towards her.
Spot narrowed his eyes at Nightshade, but this time she wouldn't let herself being scared so easy. "So, this time you brought some 'bodyguards'? got scared the last time?" He asked a smile growing around his lips. "No, they wanted to come along to see what weaklings you have around you!" She said grinning sweetly at him while his smile vanished. "You wanted to talk?" She asked to make sure he wouldn't kill them then. "Spot, what about.?" "Not now Runner." He stopped his newsie and then told Nightshade to follow him. He lead her to his room and closed the door behind him. "So? What was it you wanted to talk to me about?" "That you are going to leave my city! TODAY!" "I thought we had been talking about this already and I told you, we wouldn't leave!" "Well, I tell you, you will! And besides, where are you planning to stay?" Nightshade bent her head to her side and narrowed her eyes at his smirking face. "What shall this mean?" "That you don't have a place to go home to. And that the rest of your girls are probably under arrest right now! And believe me, the refuge ain't the best place to stay. Especially for a girl! Especially for girls like you!" Nightshade's face changed to something he hadn't ever seen on her. But he could interpret this look. It was one of pure hate and disgust. Before he could think over his words she was pinning him against the wall a knife close to his throat. He had to admit that she was a better fighter than he remembered. "What did you lousy bastard do?" "Cool down! I didn't do anything! But I warned you . You aren't good enough to play with the adults. The shopkeepers sent for the bulls. They found out where you live and right now, they're there to arrest you and close the house where you living in." "No way!" Nightshade was distracted by his words, and so it was an easiest for Spot to gain control and pin her down on the floor. He leaned close to her face and whispered close to her ear. "Leave my city. Now. As long as you can-" "Never. And if it's true that my girls are in the refuge I won't leave!" "You're crazy!" "And you are sadistic!" Spot shook his head slightly and sat up on top of her, her hands still holding over her head. "Tell me, since when are you so brave? Not afraid I could kill you?" Nightshade was trying to get Spot off of her and was just about to say something when they heard some of the boys screaming before voices from a lot of girls were heard.
Nightshade took this moment to get away from Spot and walked to the door. She was sure that she had just heard Curse's voice downstairs.
"Nightshade! The bulls, they stormed the house!" Icicle stormed towards her, obviously exhausted. Hazard looked around in the room as if she was searching something. Or maybe- "Where's Flame? She should come and tell you everything!" Nightshade's eyes narrowed at her girls. She couldn't think straight right now. This was all to much for her.
Spot was just stepping out of his room when The front door of the lodging house opened again and one of Spot's boys came in, in his arms a person which was beaten up real bad and as Raven got a closer look on the person she screamed. The unconscious body, trunk in blood and still, she knew immediately who it was. Witch swallowed hard, and Hazard let out a cry. Curse and Fury were unable to speak, maybe for the first time in their life. Nightshade just went over to the guy and stroke a strand of Flame's sticking hair away from her face. "Flame." her voice was only a whisper and she couldn't keep herself on her knees anymore. The guy placed Flame in front of her on the floor and stepped back, giving them some privacy. "He's here." Flame coughed. "He thought I was you. mumbled something about revenge. Night, he's here! Maniac. he." "Shh, it's okay, you'll get some rest and then you'll tell me everything!" But Flame shook her head violently. "We know both that the only rest. that I'll get will be for eternity." Flame reached her hand for a small black ribbon around her neck and took it of. She took Nightshade's hand and put the ribbon in it. "It was Celtic's. I want you to have it. It shall be some kind of lucky charm." Nightshade looked at the thick wooden cross on the ribbon and smiled weakly at Flame, trying to hold back her tears. Flame's eyes fell on the other girls who stood behind Nightshade, unsure of what to say. Most of them had already tears in their eyes. "I love ya all. And don't look like that. I'm not the first one.and I'm not gonna . be the last one." Another cough stopped her speaking before she motioned Nightshade to come closer. "Stay here. Dy.Spot will take care better .of you than all of us could!" Nightshade looked irritated at Flame who seemed to only breathe her words. "Just believe me. .be careful." She smiled a last time weakly at her friends and when Nightshade pressed her body close to her own the other people in the room knew for sure that the girl was dead.
Okay. That's it for today. I hope you liked it. At least a bit? Maybe one little sentence? Tell me. Hit this nice little button down there.
