Why is it no one understands me? Everyone treats me like I'm evil...Like I'm a demon... Like I have no heart or feelings.
And frankly, I don't ... or at least...I didn't...until I met her...

Guess who's back (back back), back again ('gain 'gain.) Ginny's back.(back back) tell a friend! (friend friend) lol, Sorry hyper. And now's a good time to tell you all I hate rap music.
But that's not what I'm here to tell you. I'm here to tell you that the following two chapters are VERY CRUCIAL to the plot of this story. DID EVERYONE HEAR ME! I hope so...

So, everyone. I'm kind of sad right now. My Auntie Angel's Mom died. She drowned in a river. (Which is especially eerie because her name was Audrey and this story is about a girl named Audrey who drowned in a river.)
But writing makes me feel better, so I'll probably be updating a lot this week. Especially Thursday when the funeral is. Reviews and criticism are appreciated. Thanks!

Okay, since the next two chapters are probably going to be my favorites, let's get started...

Disclaimer:
I don't own them sad as it is. I don't own any characters in this story. 'Specially not Whistler or Penni or Irish. Are you happy you bloodthirsty lawyers?
((lawyers nod))
Good.

Spot-
I called a conference with my second-in-command, Whistler, at about 8:30. It concerned Penni.
Which Wiss so quickly told me the minute he entered the room.
(Let's get a few things straight about Whistler. He's a nut job. Well, that's a bit harsh. He's a little bit out there. He believes in fairies and things like that... He loves the color green for some reason,
"Listen, Wiss. We gotta problem." I began, but he cut me off.
"Hell yah we do! My name is Whistler. Not Wiss."
I sighed. "Okay, Whistler, We have a problem."
"Like what?" Whistler asked.
"Like, let me finish! You already know it's about Penni. Wiss... Whistler. Remember what happened with me and Audrey?"
"Yea. You two were in a fight and you..." Whistler began, but then Jacky Boi ran in.
"Whaddya need, Spot?" Jack asked.
"Good. You came. Sit down." I commanded. Jack sat down next to Whistler.
"As you were saying, Wiss." I prompted. He scowled at me, but continued.
"You and Audrey were in a fight and you p..." again, he was cut off by the door opening.
"I know you said not to interrupt, Spot, but..." It was Dodger.
"Dodger, not now. GET OUT!" I hissed. With all of these blasted interruptions we'd never get done. Dodger turned on his heel and ran out.
"Forget it, Wiss. Anyway, I'm afraid it might happen again. That's why I sent Penni to you Jack. But...I have to see her..." I admitted. My thoughts were scattered and I was having a hard time collecting them.
"Spot, you're not making any sense. We know Audrey's death is still taking it's toll on you but remember, Penni is not Audrey. Don't think about Penni suffering the same fate as Audrey." Jack said. I sighed and tried again to collect my thoughts so I could make a tangible sentence.
"All I know right now is I have to see her. Whistler, I'm sending you down to Manhattan to get her. I'll stay here with Jack. Get her and bring her here. Got it?"
"Okay." Whistler agreed, getting up and heading out.
"I hope youse knows what youse doin' Spot." Jack replied, putting his cowboy hat on his head.
"Me too, Jackie Boi. Me too..." I whispered, fumbling with my cane.

Whistler-
I got out of the room and headed towards Manhattan. It was a long, boring walk. Pretty uneventful. I walked there all the while trying to think of a story to tell the young kids at the lodging house the next day. I couldn't do the tale of Matty Groves, because it didn't have a happy ending. I finally settled on "A Brewery Of Eggshells." It was an interesting tale, and the kids would enjoy it.
When I got to the Manhattan Newsies Lodging House it was pitch black. I was hoping Penni wasn't asleep, because I'd never have the nerve to wake her up.
I had nothing to worry about, though. She wasn't even back yet. And nobody was sleeping in that place. Everyone was yelling, playing poker, and doing stuff like that.
I sat amongst a group of younger newsies. They asked me to tell them a story. I decided I could try out A Brewery Of Eggshells on them. Because if they liked it, the Brooklyn kids might like it...
I began to tell the tale as I remembered it... When I had finished, the kids looked totally entranced. Their faces were alit with smiles and wondrous thoughts. I grinned and began to whistle a song. It was the Canticle of the Dragon.
This entranced the kids also. It was a slow, almost mournful tune. Soon after I had finished, everyone went to bed. I sat on one of the empty bunks and stared at the door. She should be coming in any minute now.
At around 10:30 the door opened and three figures entered. Two girls and a boy. I got up and strode over to them. I glanced over the faces quickly and grabbed Penni's wrist.
"Spot needs to see you." I whispered. "C'mon." I proceeded to lead her out the door as I was told, when the boy moved to punch me. I easily grabbed his wrist with my spare hand and held it.
"Spot's orders." I repeated and lead Audrey back to Brooklyn. The walk back was just about as boring as the walk there. Penni was quiet and didn't really seem sociable. I whistled to myself as I led her.
At midnight we arrived in Brooklyn.
"Welcome to Brooklyn." I murmured to her. She smiled and said something I couldn't hear. Those times I wished I had hearing as good as elves. That would be very useful...
Anyways, I led Penni into the lodging house and told her to wait in front of Spot's extra room. (Which was next to the council chamber.)
"I'm going to get Spot. It'll be a few minutes so just wait here." I instructed, turning and heading into the chamber room.

Penni-
I waited in front of the door for a while. "Whose room is this?" I wondered aloud. The door was pink with flowers on it. I didn't exactly think this was Spot's room and this was an all boys lodging house.
Finally my curiosity got the best of me. I opened the door and quietly slipped inside. I found the light switch on the wall and flicked it gently. The room flooded with light. I stared around the room.
The walls of the room were a pale pink and everything else was covered in cobwebs and thick layers of dust. The room definitely had at one time belonged to a girl. Audrey... I thought. I walked slowly around the room, looking at everything in detail.
There was a bed, a dresser, a couch, a night stand, and in the back corner a vanity. The vanity had been used recently. The mirror was clean and the flat surface had recently been polished. There were candles placed all around it and a picture of a girl who looked just like me was tucked in one of the corners of the mirror.
"That must be Audrey." I whispered. My own voice made me jump. It was so eerily quiet in that room, it scared me a bit.
And sitting in the center of the vanity was a journal. On the cover in a dark black ink it said: Spot's Journal. KEEP OUT!
I knew I shouldn't, but I did. I picked the book up and opened it to about the middle and began to read.
Audrey and I got into a fight again. She yelled at me and told me we were through. Nobody dumps me and gets away with it. I...
