Part 2

Chapt. 5

I can hear them. As I got closer, I could hear Jimmy's evil voice echoing through the night I heard Skittery yelling at him.

"Please, I don't even know who ya are, but I'se swear, I don't know who da goil your talkin' about is!" I heard a girl's voice say. Her voice is so familiar… where have I heard it. I heard the girl start to cry. Timid! Anger swelled up inside me. I came out of my hiding spot and into the moonlight.

"If ya even touch 'er, I'll break your arm off Jimmy!" My hands formed into fists as they stayed at my sides. Jimmy only laughed.

"Heya, Doll-face. Where have ya been? I've missed ya." He said, his Italian accent coming out like it does when he's angry.

"Ya know very well where I've been, an' if you don't step away from fer, I'm gonna hurt ya worse den ya hurt Sam." I said with danger lurking in my voice.

"Oh, yea? I remember 'im. I fixed him real good. Huh?" He laughed again.

At that moment, the hate that I had ever kept inside of me started to come back' hate towards the Delanceys, toward my step-mother, and my father for never standing up for me; to all my ex-boyfriends who treated me so badly, but mostly towards Jimmy, who hurt my best friend, my brother, my life.

Hours later…

I opened my eyes to see the pond next to me, the park grass surrounding me, and tried to remember what happened.

Timid screaming; Skittery and Jimmy, soakin' each other. Knives. Blood.

I looked around. I looked at where I had hid from the three people, and then to where I punched Jimmy. I looked to the place where Jimmy stabbed Timid. Then I looked at Jimmy. His body was barely functioning. I looked at Timid's lifeless body. I dragged myself over to her, tears filling my eyes.

"I never meant for di ta happen. I'll never forget ya, Timid. You'se one of my best friends, an' I love ya." I whispered.

Tears fell from my eyes as I slowly got up. Although I was in pain, I picked up timid, and laid her softly on the bench. I walked—well, limped—to Skittery. I looked at him, lying unconscious on the ground. He had a cut above his eye, and was soaked pretty badly. Some of Jimmy's friends had been hiding, just as I had, waiting to attack us. But once Jimmy was down, they fled. Stupid bastards. Dey don't have any brains ta think for themselves. I crawled back to Timid, and tried to stand. Her face isn't even peaceful, like it's supposed ta be when ya die. It's full of sorrow, pain, fear. An' it's all my fault. Again. I collapsed next to her, sobbing.

Early the next morning…

"Oh Lord almighty." I heard Arrow run towards me, but I didn't look up to her. "Echo? What happened! Oh, Timid. Jack. JACK!" Arrow's voice cracked, as she screamed for Jack.

"Dammit, Timid!" Jack ran his fingers through his hair. Kiki came running towards us.

"Oh my…" Kiki didn't say any more, but buried her face into Jack's chest. " stayed seated on the ground, holding Timid's cold hand. Tears still fell down my face.

"Did ya find 'em?" Mush came running over, with Mare closely behind. Mare gasped and turned away. I still didn't look up.

"Heya, Skittery. Skitt—Skittery!" I heard Mush slapping Skittery's cheeks. Skittery started to come to.

"Mush? Timid—Echo, dat guy, there was so man of 'em, but dey all ran like da cowards day are." Skittery gasped as he tried to sit up. I could hear Mush helping him up.

"Dey need da hospital." Arrow said.

"Ya, wit what money Arrow!" Kiki cried. Arrow shot her a not-right-now-look and turned to me.

"Common Echo. I'll help ya up." I didn't move. "Echo, did ya hear me?"

"Echo, common. I deed ya ta get to da hospital, cause I'm not goin' no where without ya." Skittery said.

"Echo, we all know you're upset, but ya gotta get up. Let's go, now."

"Common Ech, I know yer shaken up, but we gotta get ya checked out. At least go ta Kloppman, or Alesandro." Kiki touched my arm.

"I'll carry her if I Hafta." Jack said quietly.

"Mare, go get Kid an' Mac. Quickly. Go!" Arrow ordered Mare. Mare ran off.

"Why Kid and Mac?" Kiki asked.

"Kid was da closest ta timid, dey were friends. He'll carry her. And, Jack, will ya carry Echo? She's not gonna get up on her own, so we'll force 'er. Mac'll go to da police for Jimmy, she sounds da most smart, cause she doesn't have an accent. I'll stay here wit Jimmy." Arrow said.

When Kid Blink saw Timid, his eye glazed over. He looked at her, and gently picked her up, forcing my hand away from hers.

"No, Timid. Come back! We still got papes ta sell. Ya got yer whole life. Timid!" I screamed.

"Echo. Echo! Echo, common, it's okay. She's gone. It wasn't your fault." Skitter stood helplessly Mush's help. I ran towards Blink.

"Don't taker her, don't take her away! She's fine. She'll be up tomorrow wit a headache, dat's all." I tugged on Blink.

"ECHO!" Blink yelled at me. Jack ran over and pulled me away. As soon as my hand no longer touched Timid's, it clicked. Timid's dead. I crumpled into Jack's arms, and he picked me up. Mush, Skittery, Jack, Blink, Timid, Kiki, and I made our way back towards the lodging house. Kiki held my hand the whole way, tears streaming down her face.
