Anastas-Raven is awesome, she didn't want Spot to be hurt over herself.
Ultimate sacrifice. Raven loves Spot she can't give Jack anything. She
wasn't cheating on Spot like he cheated on her. Aww, glad you liked this
chapter it was really long. Thanks for the review.
Sarah Kate-Yay, I'm glad you can still read this. I hope it was a long enough chapter for you. It's a good thing your friend has a laptop, it was a really good scene with Queens. It's going to be a funny "kiss and make up". Yes I also hate stories that take forever to update so I try not to bed like that. Thanks for another review.
Dreamer Conlon-Thanks for your review. I'm glad I have built up a lot of suspense (I'm my mind it means that it is okay). You'll see what happens between Raven and Spot and they are cute I know.
Angel Fish7-Yes they still each like each other but they are both to well I hate to say stupid. okay they are both too stupid to realize how the other one feels. Yea well feeling bad for Spot is okay. Lol. Hmmm the idea of a turf war is a good idea. Just depends on how lazy I feel to decide if I'll actually do it, plus I don't know a lot about how I can write about a turf war. You've given me a lot to think about. Thank you for the review.
Lyra Torg- It's great that you just joined ff.net. I'm glad you like my story please keep reviewing and telling me what you think. Thanks for the review.
Spotsroxysurfer76-Thanks for the review. I tried my best to not screw up that passionate scene. I tried to not have their personalities all the same because it just isn't fun. A person isn't just one way (I'm not talking dirty here people), everyone is a complex kind of person, and they have more than one face. Thank you for saying that this is one of your favorite stories and that you love it, it means a lot.
Alberta Gecko-I'm glad you like the story. The idea is to have you on pins and needles. It took me forever to come up with these ideas. Thank you for your review.
Chapter 25
******* = Flashback
~~~~~~~= Dream
"I win again." Race crowed.
"Ahh shuddup Race." Raven muttered as he pulled in the money.
"Hah Raven, bad night? Ya haven't won a single hand." Raven glared at him.
"I have my mind on uddah t'ings." She said defensively.
"Spot." Race coughed. Raven punched him.
"Shuddup." She ordered. "I'm goin ta bed. Dis ain't woith it." She gave Race a glare and then laughed to let him know that she wasn't really mad at him and then went to her bunk. All her stuff was still here, nothing had been gone through or taken. She had all her clothes and papers (her important papers that she never allowed anyone to look at).
Turning over, she pulled her blanket up and drifted into a restless sleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raven was walking along a street that was not familiar. The street was totally empty and she could see no one anywhere nearby. She remembered how she had been forced to play along with Shiner. The look on Spot's face had made her burst into tears.
All of a sudden, Spot appeared before her. Raven smiled happily.
"You betrayed me." His voice was whisper soft but she still could hear him clearly. "How could you?"
Raven looked at him shocked. Slowly she sank to her knees and just stared at him. He repeated his words and then he walked away without a second glance.
"No no no." Raven whispered to herself. "I'm all alone again. Not alone. Please Spot, don't leave me." Her last words slowly lowered in volume until no noise was heard save her pounding heart and breath. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Don't leave me alone." Raven sat up, covered in a cold sweat. The words echoed over and over in her head. No one noticed her wake up. Quietly, she crept up and climbed up to the roof.
She got up there and just stared out across the tops of the buildings. Raven watched the stars and finally fell back asleep curled into a ball on the roof.
Jack came up and shook her awake. "Raven, get up. I can't believe ya slept up heah."
"Yea yea Jack. I jus couldn't sleep so I went ta get a breath of fresh air and den I kinda feel asleep." Raven rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and climbed down to the bunkroom. She and Tonya washed up a little and then the three left.
Jack got a 100 papes, Raven got 75 and Chatterbox got 55. They all walked to Central Park and started selling. Raven and Jack kept a close eye on Chatterbox and made sure to stay relatively close.
After several hours, right before they were to go to Tibby's to meet the gang to go eat lunch they saw some bulls. Jack came up next to Raven and they pulled Tonya over to them. The bulls noticed the sudden motions and they started running towards them. They all took off and tried putting distance between them and the bulls.
Tonya was also a slow runner and Jack could see that they were tiring fast. He tried eluding them by going down an alley but they saw one of them and followed in pursuit. The bulls finally caught up to them and one grabbed Raven while the other grabbed Tonya. Jack tried pulling them away but to no avail.
"Just go Cowboy, go now. Hurry." Raven pleaded. Jack shook his head and flung himself at the bulls. One caught him out of the corner of his eye and smashed a meaty hand into Jack's face. At the angle Jack was lunging in, he managed to knock himself unconscious.
The bulls dragged the two away and left Jack lying in the street. They took Raven and Tonya to the refuge. From there, they were lead into a room where Raven saw her stepfather standing behind a desk.
"We are going home tonight so you two can have a real bed and food and clothes." He boomed. Raven glared at him and he just smirked and the bulls put them on a train to Pennsylvania.
On the trip there was made in silence. Not a word was spoken although as the miles passed Tonya grew noticeably more and more frightened. When they reached their destination, their father/ stepfather yanked them up to their feet and they walked into town.
At the drop off they found their mother waiting with a horse and carriage. They reluctantly climbed in, their "dad" took the reins and flicking the horses, the carriage started to roll. Their mother attempted to try and talk to them but was greeted by only silence. The landscape passed slowly but at the same time too fast as they reached the house.
Their mother grabbed Tonya and their father grabbed Raven and the four made it into the house. Raven screamed and fought against her father. Tonya just stood there frightened and watched as the scene unfolded. Finally fed up with the blows Raven was landing on him, their father pulled back his fist and slammed it into her face. Raven fell to the ground unconscious. Tonya screamed and struggled against her mother trying to get to Raven.
"Want to end up like her?" her father glowered at her. Tonya stopped moving and shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "Put her in her room, she'll go in the guest room." He nudged Raven with the toe of his foot. Tonya numbly followed her mother and went to her room. She watched Raven hauled into the room and then her door slammed shut and was locked with a click. Tonya had no doubt that Raven's was as well secured as hers.
"Jack please come and save me. Spot, ya gots ta save Ravy. She loves ya ta death." Tonya talked softly to herself, hoping that somehow the two would hear her. "Please" she begged and she lay down on her bed and just stared at the ceiling at a loss for what to do.
A/N: I know I have been FOREVER. School has just started and everything's been really hectic. I'm a bad person I know. Well here's a kind of well basically short chapter but I have the weekend and I should get another chapter typed. And this was short on details I know I know, I have to say this is probably one of my worst chapters. It was late and written pretty badly. I'll do better I promise anyways review please and yell at me for being late so maybe I'll be more motivated..
