Rise to the light
Chapter 8
By BonBon
The next morning Aura could barely contain her excitement for having a date with Spike. She danced and sang through her morning selling.
"I'm dating Spike. He's a british cutie" She sang while selling the papers. The rest of the lodging house was quiet and mournful over the loss of Pisky. Jack had told everyone she had been brainwashed and any contact with her should be avoided.
BonBon and Stress could see the look of worry on his face though, and they knew what it was about. Already 2 of the smaller newsies had disappeared, their bodies found in alleys. Those 2 signature bite marks in their neck. There would be no way to hide the vampires once newsies started dying left and right.
Randy guessed it had been Pisky and Drusilla. That they were trying to draw Spin into a fight so they had a shot at killing her.
"Even with her skills and slayer powers, shes still new and a master vampire such as Drusilla could easily kill her" Randy had solemnly stated at a pre-breakfast meeting. Spin looked pissed about the dead children but everyone told her if she lost her head, she might lose her life.
"Well how can we help?" BonBon had questioned. "What can we do?"
"Well, you can work on your magic. And all the rest of us can do is try our hardest" Randy had answered.
Around 5 pm. Aura was happily dancing through the bunks. Everyone went to Brooklyn for a poker game and to discuss the dead children. Aura was saddened by the deaths, but she knew her Spike would never hurt anyone. Guilt tore at her gut for not mentioning this date to anyone. But it was like Spike had her under his spell, She wanted to be with him and if it meant hiding it, she would. She grabbed a pretty blue dress of BonBon's and slid it over her head.
Meanwhile. Race and Bookie were hiding out in some old warehouse.
"Listen, Bookie. I'se get dis whole ting about running from dese people. Dey wanna hoit you and I wouldn't let dem. And dis whole running away tagether thing is kinds romantic. But, why can't we go outside? I'se mean. We'se in da boat and den I wake up at sunrise and you'se is gone and deres a note sayin you'se in here. So I'se figure maybe dem people found ya and you'se hidin, but dey didn't. And you'se won't let me open a window and ya won't leave. Whats da problem?"
"oh Race. Its just. Deres stuff ya don't know" Bookie sighed and sat on some crates in a dark corner. She motioned for race to come sit next to her.
"Can't ya, can't ya explain? Really, I'se wanna help"
"ok, You'se right. You need ta know. And if ya hate me then. I'll walk right out into that sunlight. Because I couldn't bare a life without ya"
Race looked at her, somewhat terrified of what he thought she was going to say.
"You see Race. And please believe me when I tell you this. For it is not a lie and I am not insane. When I died last year, I didn't just die. I was kinda of..reborn. I'm a vampire"
Pisky slinked out of the warehouse as soon as the sun was down.. A lot of the boys had been passing by. ON their way to a poker game no doubt.
"The games I was never invited too" Pisky sneered. "I'll show them all how to a play a real game. We'll play some cat and mouse. See who can catch who. "
Pisky turned at the sound of marbles hitting the ground. There was Boots, only a few feet away. He was bending over and picking up his dropped shooters, glancing around kinda frantically.
"Well" Pisky smirked, morphing into her "game face" of fangs and a bumpy forehead. "Let the games begin"
She leaped through the air.
"Boots" She screeched. As her turned she landed on his back, piggyback style.
After he saw it was her, he tried shaking her off.
"ey, ey. Jack said you was brainwashed. Get off me. Pisky!"
Pisky laughed. "brainwashed huh? Jacky boy never did know how to tell the truth. Ya know what I am, Boots? Ya know? I'm a goddess! I'm gonna live forever! Its called being a vampire. And I think Jacky needs to realize this. And I'm kinda hungry. So you know what they say. Two birds. One stone"
She pressed her forerm against his throat until he passed out from lack of air. The she threw him to the ground.
"Ya know what got then? Dead Birds" She pulled him into her arms and sank her fangs into his throat.
