Snooza- Thanks a lot for your review. This is your first review but it's
nice to know that people are reading it. Keep reading and I'll keep those
cliffhangers..you got a major one coming up.dun dun dun. Lol
Cadence-Thanks for the review. People say a lot of things they don't "really" mean, ya know? Lol. I think it's a good idea to have a love triangle but I already have other things planned out for Raven and Race though so I don't think I'll be able to work it in although it still is a good idea. If you have any other ideas though please let me know. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
Aurora Conlon-Thanks for saying that. I'm glad you liked the chapter. Keep reading and reviewing.
Angel Fish- I'm going to be explaining a little in this chapter about Queens so keep reading and other things will be happening with Spot rather than having him carry her off. I didn't want to not have this scheme that you'll read, one of my friends and their description of me made me come up with this so read on and thanks for your review. Your one of my favorite people, you've sent 7 reviews and I only have 12 chapters.you're the best *tearing with an occasional sob* okay done now. on to some more reviewers and then (horror voice) THE STORY.lol..Yay
Falco Conlon-Thanks for your reviews (I'm going to talk about all of them here in this excerpt).it might be a little like a Mary Sue. I didn't mean that she was renting an apartment, I guess I wasn't specific enough or something (people try and bear with me please) since this is my first fanfic, but what I was trying to say was that it was unsafe so people abandoned it and so she just moved in because she needed a place to stay and didn't want to go to Spot Conlon because she didn't think that he would want girls in his lodging house. Your right about the hair though, it really wouldn't fit under a hat, I'll have it get it the way during this scene and then she'll do something and get rid of it. I and my friends argued forever about what color Spot's eyes are. I have heard blue a lot so I guess I'll end up changing it and making them blue. Girls probably weren't allowed in the lodging house but I can't think of anywhere else to have her sleep in Manhattan I suppose I could just have her have her own room but .I don't know if you have any ideas let me know. I had someone tell me that she seemed to perfect so I tried to make her seem more real and human so I'm glad you like. Thanks for the reviews.
Anastas- Thanks for another review. I'm not going to stop writing like some people and never review. I can't stand that so I won't ever be doing that. Glad you like the story. This is a good chapter in my opinion.
Raven-I'm really glad you like the story. And Raven kind of hated him that is until she met him. Then it was harder to hate the guy because.well.he's just Spot. Guys are always confused.though we love em anyways. Keep reading and reviewing and thanks for the review.
Chapter 13
Spot took one glance back to see how close the Queens boys were. They were all crowded around Raven and he couldn't see her. He knew she wouldn't tell them where he was. How he knew this was beyond him though. After a spli8t seconds hesitation he started running (A/N: Can you believe him? Lol) He grabbed his slingshot and fired a marble into the back of the tallest's head.
That was leader. Turning around, the leader got another marble in the face. Raven was pinned against the wall with her hair in one of the boys' grasp. Spot shot the hand holding her hair and she threw one of her captors to the ground. The leader grabbed at Spot from behind and Spot flipped him over. Two of the guys were fighting with Raven, while the other two were on Spot and the leader was trying to get to Spot.
Spinning around from a punch, she fell into the leader. The leader pulled a knife and held it to her throat. Not thinking he would do anything she struggled and was rewarded by a small cut on the neck. She stopped moving but she wouldn't call for Spot.
"Tell Spot to stop fighting." The leader's foul breath whispered in her ear. Raven didn't answer and the knife cut deeper into her neck. "Now."
"No" she replied determined. The leader grabbed her arm, twisted it and applied pressure. Raven gritted her teeth but didn't cry out.
"Tell him to stop." His voice was full of triumph. It made Raven almost sick. The leader finally grew impatient and yelled to Spot. "Ya better stop Spottie boy."
Spot immediately looked over and quit fighting. His eyes looked like they felt her pain. He allowed two boys to hold him against the wall. The leader had the other two grab Raven and hold her. The moment the leader took away the knife from her throat, Raven leaned down and bit his hand. He shrieked in agony and backhanded her. Raven fell back and Spot lunged for her.
Spot was thrown back against the wall. Raven tried hitting the boy on her left but they each grabbed one of her arms and held her down. The leader paced back and forth in front of Spot and Raven. Soon Spot tired of this game.
"What do ya want Shiner?" Raven was shocked that Spot knew the Queens people. The surprise must have shown on her face because the leader stopped and studied her for a minute. She didn't like the look she saw in his eyes. It scared her more than any boy that she ever fought before.
Raven tried throwing off her guards again and the leader gave her a solid roundhouse that slammed her into the wall so hard that she saw bright spots floating in front of her eyes. She shook her head to clear her eyesight. By the time she recovered the leader was back in front of Spot taunting him.
"So dis youse new goil?"
"She's Jack's goil."
"I don't t'ink she is Spottie. I really don't think so. See why would ya be wanderin da back alleys wit Jack's goil? I remember Jack and I really don't think he'd do dat."
"I had ta speak ta Jack, I was lookin fer him and I ran inta her." Spot said the first thing that came to mind.
"Spot ya's goin ta have ta come up wit something better den dat." Shiner grinned "Tell me somethin dats at least a little true, like that ya were takin her ta da back alley fer a quick screw. Dats all she is ta ya. Dats all dey all are ta ya. All a da newsies know dat." He walked back to Raven. "He promises ta every goil dat he loves he an dat he'll neva leave her. He hasn't yet done dat. An I'se seen a fair few walk outta da lodging house wit dere hearts broken. Wouldn't want ta be one a dem would ya now?" He smiled sickeningly. "Now on I on da otha hand, can keep ya happy."
"Ya won't touch me." Raven said disgusted.
"I cin do what I wants wit ya. Spot is helpless and youse pinned down." He leaned in and gave her a kiss. When he pulled back she spit in his face. He grabbed her face and yanked her head forward. "Youse goin ta pay fer dat one bitch." He flung her away and walked back over to Spot. "So what's da excuse Spot."
"She's not me goil Shiner. She's Jack's goil. Leave her alone or he'll be pissed."
"That'll woik Spot, now say pretty please and beg." Shiner smirked. "It's your slut.don't pin it on Jack. Youse da bad guy here Spot. Youse da one dat kicked me outta da lodging house. I was ya second in command and ya t'rew me away like trash. I went ta Queens an now I'se da leadeh. Got me own group of newsies dat follow me."
"Just because ya have newsies dat are stupid enough ta follow ya doesn't make ya a leadeh." Raven flung in his face.
"She's a little too outspoken Spot. She needs ta learn ta hold her tongue at times." Shiner slapped her. "Don't speak unless I ask ya to." Raven kicked him between the legs. He doubled over and then straightened back up after a moment's grief. "You are really gonna pay."
"Ya keep saying dat but ya hasn't gone t'rough wit it yet." Raven taunted. She could see Spot, and he wasn't happy at her baiting Shiner. He caught her glance and shook his head furiously. Unfortunately Shiner caught the little exchange.
"Youse two talking bout me behind my back? Dats not very nice of youse two." Shiner walked back over to Spot. "Worried about me hurting her, there Spot?"
"Why now Shiner? Why are ya getting youse revenge now?" Spot stalled for time.
"Because it took me a while to get people to follow me. I couldn't just take over Queens. Luckily the old leadeh was getting ready ta pass it on and when he saw me in action fer a while and he knew id been second in command in Brooklyn he decided to make me the new leadeh. Best choice he coulda made.ain't dat right boys?" The four boys nodded their approval.
"So they just followed ya without question?" Spot kept asking questions.
"Yea. Any who thought that I shouldn't lead came and talked ta me. Most of dem said dey'd be loyal ta me after I soaked dem." Spot was trying to think of a question but Raven interrupted.
"Well dey must have been real easy ta beat if youse soaked dem." The boys not realizing they had been insulted just stood there looking stupid. Shiner understood and punched her in the eye. Raven struggled against her guards again, determined to fight until she broke free or couldn't fight anymore.
Spot caught the desperation in her eyes and started fighting against his guards. Shiner ran back to Spot and dealt him a blow to his stomach. Spot fell forward and used his legs to knock out the knees of his guard on the left. He flipped the right guard into Shiner and reached over and punched one of Raven's guards.
She glanced at him gratefully but her attention was soon back on the fight at hand. The boys from Queens weren't good fighters but they had the advantage in numbers. Half of them recovered quickly and occupied the two giving the others a chance to get up. Raven gave one of the boys a bloody nose, temporarily blinding him.
Spot meanwhile dealt out two shiners and several bruises. Someone swung a punch at Raven's face and missed, the fist slamming into her shoulder. The impact made her fly back and crash into the wall at just the right angle to pop her shoulder out of place. With her left am out of play, she couldn't defend herself as well. The two Queens boys soon overtook her and she was lying on the ground and they continued kicking her.
Spot was distracted by seeing Raven lying on the ground being kicked. Using that as his advantage, Shiner came up behind Spot and pulled a knife. Raven opened her mouth to cry out as Shiner stabbed Spot from behind. "No." Raven screamed "Not my Spot." After that cry when she was distracted and trying to get to Spot, someone came up and punched her in the jaw. That added up with all her other injuries caused her to lose consciousness, still reaching to try and get to Spot.
A/N: Cliffie. NOOO. What's going to happen to these two? Please review. I know it's taken me a while to finally get this chapter up but it's kinda long and I had to rewrite it because it needed more detail and was too short.
