Chapter 3: The Fight

~*~Pony's POV~*~

I guess this is one fight that I can't get away from. At least Darry taught me how to fight better, so I should hold out just to knock them out.

Cherry was shaking. I guess she was afraid of them. They had already beat her up once, I guess she ran away before they could finish that's why they are still looking for her.

Each Soc piled out of the car one by one. There were three of them in all. I'm sure I can take them since there are only three.

"Ponyboy."Cherry stammered.

"What is it?"I asked turning to her while keeping an eye on the Socs.

"That one there has a weapon."she pointed to him. "He said that he would use it earlier, thats when I ran away."

"It is probably a switchblade. Usually is..."

They came nearer and the one Cherry was talking about said, "Step aside grease and we might not hurt you."

I stood my ground ready to fight them even though I was outnumbered.

I glanced at Cherry and said, "Run...now."

"But..."

"Just go."

She looked at me strangely and ran.

"So you're not going to move? I guess we will have to force you."

They came at me fast but I tried my best to hold them off long enough for Cherry to get away.

One came at me hard but I managed to block him and hit him in the forehead knocking him out cold.

But, as I was doing that another one hit me in the head hitting me to the ground.

Then it happened. A loud noise was all I heard when this sharp pain went through my chest. Then everything went black.
