Raven46- Thank you for your review. I know I'm evil.it's in my blood {evil
laugh} anyways I'll keep going but you have to keep reading.
Angel Fish- Yes I thought it was time to get things stirred up a little, I hate all the talk. I'm more for the action. She finally said "not my Spot". Yea, I felt it was time to show a little feeling, ya never know if Jack shows up or someone else.
Aurora Conlon-I know I left it at an awful cliffhanger about Spot. This chapter tells you what happened.so read and review. Thanks for the review also.
Snooza-Well its kinda creepy that you heard it in your mind but it could also mean that I wrote well enough to make you feel like you were there so that's good in my book. I love those cliffies. Thanks for another review.
Chapter 14
Groggily, she opened her eyes to see Mush's bunk above her. Ignoring the stabbing pain in her head, she sat up and looked around wildly. She could feel her shoulder throbbing. Before she could get up to help Spot first she had to fix her shoulder. She leaned against the bed frame and was about to pop her shoulder back in place when Jack spoke up.
"Let me help ya." He reached over and braced her. Raven had her lip between her teeth and was with a sudden jerk she popped the shoulder back into place. She almost bit through her lip and it was bleeding badly.
"Jack." Raven motioned for a towel. Jack ran to the washroom, passed her a towel and sat down. She held the towel to her lip and wiped her eyes. They had gotten a little misty when she had messed with her shoulder. At this point she didn't care if Jack saw.
"Where's Spot?" she asked frantically, the moment he was stabbed kept replaying over and over in her mind. She glanced around wildly to see if he was in any of the bunks. He wasn't in any of the under bunks. She couldn't see up on the top bunks but something told her he wasn't there.
Jack was the only one in the bunkroom. He was sitting next to her, straddling a chair and had his head in his hands. His face looked torn from indecision. "He's.well.Raven.he was stabbed in the stomach. The.doctor didn't give him a very good chance of surviving."
She didn't let him continue. Raven couldn't control the tears. "It's all my fault. He saw them bunched around me and thought I was in trouble; he came back ta protect me. No ones eva done dat. He did. And I neva got da chance ta tell him dat. Neva told him dat I lo-." Raven couldn't continue.
"It's not ya fault." Jack said soothingly.
"I'se can't stay here Jack, not right now. I'se going away for a while. I'se spent my whole time here in New York proving Spot wrong. It's too much, I can't handle. I just have to leave. sort things out in my head.move on. It's just not right being here and him well not. I don't know how to explain it."
"Raven, you can barely sit up let alone walk outta dis place. Youse goin ta at least recova."
"Jack. I can't face da boys. I just can't."
"What do you want me to tell them then? They are goin ta be comin in from sellin soon an everyone wants ta know what happened."
"That's da boys. Tell em dat it was Queens. Dat Queens gots a new leadeh. Shiner. Tell em dat he got revenge. Leave it at dat. And you probably know what happened after I passed out." She said pointedly.
"Yeah, well I found youse two late dat night. Ya hadn't come in by curfew and I t'ought somethin was wrong and me and da boys all spread out. Skittery and Race found ya. Dey got me and we carried youse two inta da lodging house and Swifty went and got a doctor for Spot. Dat happened two nights ago. Everyone in da bunkroom has seen ya bruises. Ya look like ya got ran over." Raven glanced over herself, she could feel many of the bruises, and she knew that her lip was split, she had a shiner on her left eye, and there was blood in her hair.
"I'se goin ta wash up Jack. I want all dis blood offa me." Raven tried standing and nearly passed out.
"Here." He put her arm over his shoulder and helped her make it to the washroom. "Dere ya go." He set her down near a sink and left, letting her clean herself up a bit.
Raven washed her hair and gently cleaned her arms and legs. The bruises stung where she had touched them. She'd be sore for a while. Soon enough she stumbled back into the bunkroom, still determined on leaving New York.
"Jack, I really want ta go."
"Raven, ya jus can't."
"Jack I have enough money for a train for a little of da way. I can rest dere."
"No, ya can't go like ya are."
"Jack, Spot was my reason for staying here. I can't. I'se not goin away permanently jus fer a little while. I jus have to sort t'ings out, ya know?" Raven struggled to make Jack understand.
"Raven, ya really shouldn't. But I'll let ya go. I really shouldn't let ya go but da boys will probably end up giving ya a hard time so I'se goin ta let ya go." Jack looked like he was going to change his mind.
"Thank ya Cowboy. I need ta go now." Jack understood her impatience and helped her up. They left the bunkroom and Raven looked around one last time. 'I'm goin ta miss it here.' She said to herself as she held her belongings and the extra money and walked out the door.
In under an hour they managed to get to a train station. "I still don't like dis Raven."
"I know ya don't Jack but it's something I gots ta do." Jack watched as she got a ticket and was about to climb on board.
"Raven." He yelled, and she turned and came back to him. "I'se not goin ta tell ya not ta go anymore but be careful." He kissed her on the forehead and she nodded and went to board the train.
"Oh and Raven." she looked back "Come back soon."
A/N: I know this chapter is really short and really bad but please keep reviewing and reading, I really hope I don't lose readers because Spot is dead. Unexpected things will be happening so you're going to have to keep reading. I know I know I killed Spot but just humor me and keep on reading please please. the friends that read this story before I put it up here on fanfic thought that this was bad but I made them keep reading and they think it's really good. Keep READING. lol
