Disclaimer: I own Hellfire and the plot. I do not own Newsies because well
duh I'm not that rich and also if I owned them would I have enough time to
write stories about them? I think not. I hate writing the disclaimer so you
probably won't see it again after this time I know I said it last time
(well I just copied and pasted from last time lol oh and added some things
but anyways) so do not be taking my story or my characters without my
permission. You ask and then you probably can. Okay I'm shutting up now.
Wait first I must say about some new characters that you will see soon. Now
Raven46 owns her character Raven (duh if you guys didn't figure that one
out I was going to be worried.). Brooklyn's Miracle owns well hmm take a
guess Miracle (claps hands, that's right boys and girls) and Sweetz is
owned by anundercovernewsie. Miracle also will own someone else I just
don't want to give anything away, I'll tell you when she does.
An undercover newsie-I'll love all my readers and reviewers forever and all my friends, both people I talk to from ff.net and my school friends. Yea I figured this plot came to me while I was sitting in biology or math, so I was hoping it was something out of the ordinary and not a usual plot.
Brooklyn's Miracle-I'm thinking yea she most likely can be in here. I already have a girl for Spot and I know you would want her as Jack's sister so it wouldn't work if she liked Jack. So do you have another newsie in mind, or what you would like to happen to her? Or do you want a new newsie, that you are possibly going to want me to create? I need to know soon because things will be happening soon. *warning* lol. Let me know. and will you send me an email with anything and everything you can think of about her. I mostly know but I want to be sure (don't want to screw these things up ya know). plus I sometimes forget the little details. My email is Amazonwitchqueen@aol.com.
Gypsy-Morrigan-That's funny. I liked the name Hellfire just because well I needed something with her temper, and I DID NOT want it to be fire because there are just a lot. It is ironic though that you have that name. it's kind of funny. Swing dance? Thanks for the luck, I'm going to need it to keep this going ( I was bound and determined to never write another fanfic until summer). I hate people who stop and don't update for months so have no fear that I will not finish the story but I swear I will.
MugseyMalone-Glad you like the name. thought it up along with the plot during school sometime, while we were supposed to be doing something most likely lol.
Gamester Clads-Yea well I'm glad you're reading this story too. Yea I have no idea how long this one will be, depends on the plot bunnies I get as I go along but it's probably best you're starting now. Thanks for the review.
Chapter 2
Hellfire went back to the lodging house in Manhattan. She walked in and a poker game was already started. She sat down and waited on the round to finish so she could join. The game finally ended and she threw in some money. Race won the next three, with Hellfire folding two hands out of three. She was horrible at playing poker but she still tried. By watching the guys and playing a couple hands every time they poker she slowly started to get better.
She didn't play much more, just sat and watched. After a couple of hours she went up to the roof to think and watch the stars. It was here that she seemed to find her inner peace. Everything was so calm and quiet and peaceful, like nothing bad would happen while she was in its embrace. Hellfire drew her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around her legs. This was where she always seemed to get her ideas and where thoughts always seemed to straighten things out.
So far. She hoped that the time when it wouldn't happen would not come soon. Hellfire shook her head, freeing her long blonde hair from under her arms. It cascaded down her back in little waves. She laid her head on her arms, letting her mind wander. It suddenly stopped on Spot. Hellfire seemed to think a lot about him.
What was different was the way they had been when they said good-bye. Something had been wrong although Hellfire couldn't put her finger on it. Something had just not felt right about it. Like something else entirely was there. Unreal. She didn't even know how to explain it, just how it felt.
Time seemed to stop completely when she was out on the roof. As if all eternity was held in this silent trap. The streets were quiet, most people having gone to bed. The stars sparkled in the sky, holding secrets that they seemed eager to share if only she could understand. Hellfire gazed up at the sky, lost in thought, not hearing someone come up behind her.
"Hellfire!" someone yelled.
She jumped and spun around irritated that she hadn't heard them come up. She hated being snuck up on. It made her feel vulnerable and she hated that feeling. "What?"
"I was just trying to get your attention but nooo you're off in Hellfire's little world."
"Yea yea, you shouldn't be talking, Miss two minutes ago I was wit Jack. Dat's your own little world."
"No" she got a seductive smile on her face. "It's our world."
"Well go back to it already. And stop giving me dat damn grin. It's sickening." Hellfire teased.
"Ahh you shuddup. Youse just jealous dat I got my man heah." Raven smirked.
"Ahh you shuddup." They both laughed for a minute and then finally grew serious.
"So why ya out heah?" Raven broke the silence that had engulfed them.
"Jus needed ta t'ink fer a bit."
"Oh. Spot doin leadah business again."
"Yea." Hellfire smiled unhappily. "but whatever." She stood up hearing her knees pop. "Been sitting out heah too long."
"You've been out heah for a couple of hours. Most of da boys are headin ta bed. I t'ouhgt I should jus let ya know." Raven remarked helpfully as they climbed back down and into the bunkroom.
Hellfire saw Race walking towards his bunk. "Hey Race, can I sell wit ya tomorrow?"
"Soah."
"Ya goin ta da races?"
"Of course."
"Alright, see ya in da morning."
"Night." Hellfire figured that going all the way out to the races would at least take her mind a little bit off of Spot.
"Tryin ta get him off ya mind?" Raven questioned innocently.
"How do ya know me dat well?" Hellfire laughed.
"Jus do."
"Night." Hellfire climbed tiredly into bed and sank down, pulling the covers over her head. She glanced over to see Raven pass by Jack's bunk thinking he was asleep and head towards an empty bunk. Jack's arm down and grabbed her shoulder. She turned and wasted no time in crawling up and lying next to him. Hellfire shook her head and rolled over, falling asleep.
The next morning Raven shook her awake. "Hellfire, get ya lazy ass up already. Boys are goin ta be gone soon."
"Alright alright I'se movin." Hellfire slowly rolled off the bed and onto the floor. Raven burst into laughter. "Shut up." She muttered grumpily as she headed towards the washroom. Raven shook her head and left the lodging house along with a group of the guys. Hellfire was always a bitch in the mornings.
A few minutes later Hellfire walked out, hair still a mess and looking just as lovely as usual. She stood at the end of the line and Race waited on her. Finally, she got her papes and Race and her left for the track.
Selling was quite good at the races and Hellfire finished selling way before it was time to meet at Tibby's. She found Race betting on one of the races. He still had a considerable amount of papes left in his hands. "I'm goin ta head back ta Tibby's. I'll meet ya dere."
"Okay. I t'ink dis is a lucky one." Hellfire shook her head and laughed as she walked away.
Arriving back in Manhattan, she paced the streets, not feeling like getting more papes. Wandering around, she paid just enough attention to not end up in Queens or the Bronx. She was kind of close to the borders though, she noticed. it
It sounded almost like someone crying out or yelling but muffled. Cautiously, Hellfire headed towards where she thought she heard the sound. She paused a moment, waiting to hear the sound again, hoping she wasn't losing her mind.
Hellfire turned a corner and saw a bit of movement out of the corner of her eye. She ducked and kicked out, out of habit. Her leg met only air. She straightened back up and looked again at where the movement had come from.
A figure lay huddled on the ground, wrapped tightly in a ball. Another person was lying near this figure and more sprawled out. Hellfire recognized the one wrapped in a ball.
A/n: Who is it? Tell me what ya think. I may give a hint though. They haven't been too mentioned but they are a newsie that is in the movie. Review and I'll try and get more up as soon as possible.
