Chapter 5: Dangerous Encounters
I shivered as I turned into yet another alleyway, not from cold, because it was the middle of summer, but from fear because I knew that alleyways were not safe places to be, especially at night. Cautiously and slowly I walked down the alleyway, looking for anyone, or anything that might let me know where Anya and Nicole were.
A sudden noise behind me made me stop in my tracks. I waited silently for a few minutes before repressing my fear and moving on. A few moments later I heard the quick resounding footsteps of someone running. Then there was the soft thud of someone falling down, and a small cry. My heart was beating so hard that I feared anyone within miles of me could hear it, and my breathing was hard and quick. At the time I thought that's what had given me away, but now that I think back on it, it was probably my own cry of fear that emerged from my lips after I heard the fierce, dangerous, but soft words that were spoken.
"I will kill you." The voice said, "I will kill you, and anyone else who gets in my way."
I suppose that's when I cried out. My imagination did not help any when I heard those words, and my fear was so great that I acted without thinking. Soon after I cried out, I felt big strong hands reach around me and cover my mouth. I've never been that great at defending myself, but I do know how to get away from any captors, and I can cat fight, but in this situation, I didn't know what would be better; letting myself be taken away, or trying to escape.
"Well," the voice hissed, "what have we here? A pretty girl like you shouldn't be wandering the streets, especially at night, but since you made such a bad decision, I think I'll have a little fun with you."
The voice's throaty sound, and vulgar words made my decision for me. Quickly I opened my mouth slightly and bit down hard on his hand. I was immediately rewarded with a deep growl and a cry of pain, but I didn't let go until I tasted blood. Quickly I made a dash for it, but he was quicker and caught my arm before I'd even made it two steps.
"You're making this harder than it has to be." The voice growled, but his growl was cut short, by another yelp of pain, and I used this opening to turn and knee him in his crotch making him let go of my arm. I again rapidly turned and bolted, but was this time grabbed by someone else.
"Damn!" I whispered. He's got friends! God! This was not my day. I started to struggle, but it was no use. Whoever it was had instantly twisted both arms behind my back and held me there.
"Shhh!" the new voice whispered sharply. I stopped my struggle, and stood still in shock. This new voice was that of a girl's!
"Who are you?" I whispered, ignoring her command of being quiet.
"Sweets Conlon to da rescue." The voice whispered sarcastically. "Come on. Lets get outta heah!" The next thing I new she'd let go of my arms and was pushing me out of the alleyway. As soon as we'd gotten out of there she again grabbed my arm and started off, dragging me behind her.
"Where are you taking me?" I hissed. I wasn't so sure I wanted to go anywhere with this girl, especially since I didn't even know who she was, but since she'd just undoubtedly saved my life I allowed myself to be taken wherever she was going.
"Where do ya think we're goin'? We'se goin' to da Brooklyn Lodging House!"
I mentally smacked my head. Duh, I thought, Sweets Conlon, Spot Conlon. How could I have been so dense? Okay, so I'm dumb. Wait! SWEETS Conlon??!! So, that girl earlier wasn't his girl at all! That was his sister?! Oh boy, now I know why he was so protective of her. Okay, I guess I should clear some things up when we get to the Lodging House, and I probably should apologize for what I said earlier.
"Hey!" Sweets snapped me out of my thought world. "Ya comin' inside or what?" she asked sharply.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm comin'." I muttered.
Together we walked into the Lodging House, and were greeted with the sounds of arguing, card playing, and just plain talking.
"What have we heah?" God! It was him again! I looked up the stairs, where the voice came from, and locked eyes with Spot.
"Sweets heah, was kind enough to rescue me from some 'Dog' that tried to attack me back in one of Brooklyn's alleyways." I said sarcastically, although I don't know why. It just kinda came out that way. The minute it came out of my mouth I knew that I was in trouble. Dissing Spot once, I knew he could handle, but since I'd dissed his sister, and him, quite a few times, I was almost certain I would be sleeping on the roof.
"Cynic," Spot spat out my name as though it were dirt, "I saw what happened alright, I was there! Do ya seriously think dat I would let a girl wander around Brooklyn by 'erself? 'Specially at night? Youse dumber dan ya look!"
I'm sure Spot was satisfied with the look of shock on my face, in fact, I know he was because of that sickening smirk that crept over his face. Dang! I despise that smirk!
"If you was there then how come ya didn't come an' help me out? An' how'd ya get heah 'fore Sweets an' I did?" I crossed my arms, and a smug smile came over my face as I expected to have backed him down into a corner. But I should have known that you can't back Spot Conlon into a corner.
"Sweets handled it didn't she? I wasn't needed so I left, plus I know all da short cuts an' stuff, so git ovah it already." He answered then brushed past me and stalked off. I knew he was mad but I was dumb enough to push him more.
"Ya only left 'cause ya didn't think ya could handle it!" I yelled after him. Oh God that was stupid!
"Ya know what Cynic! I think ya wanna sleep in da street tanight! Sweets, find her some room under the steps!" Sweets looked at me in compassion, but I knew that she also couldn't believe I had said those things a few minutes ago.
"Hey, look Sweets, I'm sorry about what I said, and I'm sorry for saying you were a frumpy girl, and-" I was suddenly cut short by Sweets loud gasp.
"You said that I was a FRUMPY girl?! Look, I don't know who you are, but ya gotta lota noive comein' heah an' dissin' Spot an' me. I kinda felt sorry fer ya about sleepin' undah da steps, but I think yer goin' on da roof." She said to me. She was angry, dangerously angry, and I supposed I deserved this kind of treatment. I'm almost sure that she wished she had left me in that alleyway, earlier that night.
That night I did sleep on the roof, if you could call what I did sleeping, and the next morning Spot came up to talk to me. When I saw him coming up I was almost afraid for my life, he looked so angry. But I remembered that last night he had let me live, so I wasn't too scared. I slowly stood up as he came nearer, awaiting his wrath, and boy was it wrath that he lay on me. The minute he reached me he slugged my jaw, then he punched me in the stomach, making me fall back. I looked up at him from the ground, silently pleading for him to stop. He stood over me for a minute glaring at me like I was some scab, but that's probably what I was in his eyes. He threw one last punch at my right eye, and then he stopped. Pain was shooting through me like I never thought it could, and my head was spinning uncontrollably. It was then that he reached down and helped me up.
"Ya got what ya desoived ya know." He stated simply. I just nodded my head, talking would've hurt too much. "I'm gonna send ya back to Manhattan, and if I see yer friends I'll send 'em back there too." I nodded my head again. "Pup! Git up heah!" He called down to someone inside the bunkroom. Seconds later a girl came through the window, and made her way up to where Spot and I were.
She was gorgeous! I don't even know exactly how to explain it. Her hair was a beautiful red color, but when she moved it shimmered a kind of purple that just looked beautiful on her. Her eyes were a sparkling turquoise color, and though she was a little short, she was skinny enough to make her look much taller then she actually was.
She looked at me and smiled. Damn! Her smile was gorgeous too! Then I noticed Spot. He couldn't take his eyes off her! No wonder, she was too gorgeous and good to be true, yet there she was, standing directly in front of me, offering to help me get back to Manhattan. I wanted to hate her, but I just couldn't. She was so innocent, and she truly wanted to help me out, besides she didn't even know that she was a star in Spot's eyes! I'm gonna have to do something about that, I decided.
