A/N: I think I like shout outs at the end...but I'm not sure, so I'll just
change every other chapter. So, the shout outs are at the end of this one.
Disclaimer: I still don't own anything...besides the Death's Apprentice thing...kinda...
Chapter 3
"One meets destiny on the road taken to avoid it."
--French Proverb
Mush's P.O.V.
'This is great! All that I have to do is stop David from dying, then I can keep Kid.' I grinned at how much sense my plan made. I began to run outside with Kid at my side.
The next thing I knew his hand was covering mine with our fingers entwined. I don't know why, but with his hand in mine, I had the strange idea like together we could do anything.
Blink's P.O.V.
Mush was sweating like he had a lot more on the line besides just a friend. I know that it sounds stupid, but I'm kinda jealous of Davey right now.
"Kid, it's this building, I know it is." Mush said letting go of my hand in order to open the door.
"Which apartment is it, Mush?" I asked, hoping he knew, but at the same time I found myself wishing that he didn't.
"I don't know, Kid. I just remember him coming out of the main door in my dream, but we can always ask someone." Mush replied, I tried not to smile at the fact that he was just as lost as I was now.
I looked around the apartment building's lower floor trying to find someone to ask, when my eyes came across a little boy with dirty blond hair, "Look, Mushy, there's Les."
Mush smiled, "It looks as though fate is changing its mind." He mumbled.
"Hey Les!" I yelled, approaching the younger boy.
"Hey Blink, what are you and Mush doing here?" Les asked smiling.
Mush walked over to my side, "Is Davey still home?" He asked sounding very serious.
Les shook his head, "He started going back to school today, so he left early so that he could get there on time."
"Oh." Mush said sounding almost in tears, "Where is his school at?"
Les looked at us confused, "It's about six blocks away from the Brooklyn Bridge."
Mush nodded as we turned around to leave. "Why?" Les asked looking at our backs.
Mush sighed as he whispered to me, "How can I tell him, Kid?"
I grabbed his hand once more, "We just need to talk to him, Les. That's all." I wasn't exactly lying, I guess, because we probably had to talk to him first.
"Bye Guys." Les chirped.
"Good-Bye Les." I said. Mush said nothing, but just squeezed my hand; I could tell that he was praying that we weren't too late.
We ran out of the door and down the street, still hand-in hand, until we came across a huge group gathered together, and in the middle of it was... Yeah, you guessed it the lifeless corpse of David Jacobs.
Mush's P.O.V.
This wasn't fair! This wasn't supposed to happen! I looked around the crowd until my eyes came across the familiar face of death. Davey was standing right next to it. It looked at me, then everything disappeared besides it, Davey, Davey's body, me, and Kid.
Kid looked at me confused. "Mush, what just happened? Where has everyone gone?"
I didn't know what to say to him. "Why did you bring him here?" I yelled to Death.
It laughed at me, but it was a sad laugh almost as though it didn't want to do this to me, "To prove a point, no matter how much you love him, and he loves you, he will not be able to understand."
"But he loves me, isn't that all that matters?" I asked.
"Mush, who are you talking to?" Kid asked, how am I supposed to answer him? How could I explain everything?
I decided it was best to ignore him, "Why did you bring him along?" I asked trying to control my anger.
Death smiled, "See your friend on the ground lays his body, yet his soul stands next to me. Your friend, Luis, will one day be in his place; however, you will be in mine." Sympathy appeared in Death's eyes, "I just want to make sure you can do your job."
I stared at her, "Why me?"
Death laughed once more, "You shall see."
The light and crowd came back as Kid grabbed onto my hand once more, "Let's go tell the other Newsies about Dave, they will want to know."
He started to drag me after him, but my eyes were glued to Davey's corpse. After a few blocks I turned to look over at Kid. My Kid Blink. How was I going to survive without him?
