Hola people! Here's the next chapter! Really hope you like!

I was on my way home from hanging out with some friends.

"Hey, Jet!" I heard someone call in a nasty voice. I whipped around and saw a Cheetah and a Serpent standing there. Fear immediately filled me and I started to run, although I was scared, that wasn't the reason I ran. I ran because there was no possible way I could beat two people. My chances were slim of beating one of them, let alone two. I heard them running behind me and I increased speed. I hear two familiar voices ahead of me and I wan immediately relieved.

"ICE! TIGER!" I called, and they turned around and ran towards me. I stopped running when they reached me, allowing the other two to reach me. I had no doubt that with Ice and Tiger, they'd be dead. Well, not literally.

"Go to Riff, tell him." Ice ordered, flexing his muscles. I knew exactly what he meant and left. In any proper war council, it was said "no jazz before the rumble". This meant, that there was no fighting allowed between the two, or in this case four, gangs. If a member of either gang broke this rule, that member's gang had to forfeit the rumble. Unless, the leader of the person who was jumped, or in this case about to be jumped, decided on some kind of agreement. I knew Ice wanted me to tell Riff what happened, and then he and Tiger would bring the guys to Riff, while Riff got a hold of their leaders.

"Riff!" I called when I saw him. He was standing, smoking with Tony and my brother.

"Hey, Cass. What's up?"

"A Cheetah and a Serpent," I began. "They were after me." Dally jumped up.

"You okay?" He asked worriedly. "They hurt you? Where are they? Who are they?" Dally was asking a lot of questions and Riff stopped him.

"Are you okay?" He asked since I hadn't had the time to answer Dally with all the questions he was firing at me.

"I'm fine. They didn't touch me." I answered.

"Where are they?" Riff continued.

"Well, I started running from them, and I saw Ice and Tiger. So they have them. Ice told me to come tell you." Riff nodded.

"Dally, Cassie, go get their leaders."

"Y-you mean go into their turf?" I did not want to do that. I just almost got jumped, I didn't want to get jumped, which is what would probably happen.

"Don't worry, Cass." Riff said. "Just tell 'em you wanna speak to the leaders, and by protocol of a rumble, they can't touch you. 'Sides, Dal won't let 'em." I nodded.

"C'mon." Dally said, slinging an arm around me. We began to walk. As we walked, we past Ice and Tiger. They had beaten the other guys and were forcing them to walk to Riff. I could tell Dally wanted to kill them, but he held himself back, knowing that Riff would kill him.

"Where ya headed?" Tiger asked.

"To get their leaders." I answered. The Cheetah and the Serpent exchanged scared looks.

"Where's Riff?" Ice asked. We told them. They left and we continued to walk. We finally reached their turf.

"Hey!" Called a Serpent. Great. Just great! Three guys came up to us.

"We need to see the leaders." The three Serpents looked at each other reluctantly, but consented. One of them nodded and said

"Come, I'll take you to 'em." I leaned closer to Dally as we followed him. I was really scared. Dally looked at me, and squeezed my shoulder reassuringly. We arrived at a candy store. It wasn't that we didn't know the turf. We did. We came in all the time. And visa versa. You just had to be really careful in someone else's turf. We walked in and saw the leaders. They stood and looked at us suspiciously.

"Two guys, one in your gang and the other in your gang," I said, nodding to each one as I said which gang they were in. "Tried to jump me. Our leader has 'em now." The leaders looked at each other and then back at us.

"Sorry. We'll take care of 'em. Take us to 'em." As much as they hated us, we could tell they were mad that members of their gang had broken their rules. We took them to Riff where he had the two guys sitting, waiting. By then, Jack was there too. I guess Riff sent someone to get him. Sean was also there. He came up to me and asked if I was okay and all.

"I assume you know what happened?" Riff asked as we arrived.

"Yeah. We'll take care of 'em." The Serpents' leader, which I learned on the way over, from overhearing his conversation with the Cheetahs' leader, was Joe. And the other one was called Kayed. Weird name. Must be a nickname.

"So," Riff continued. "I assume you know what happens when a member of a gang jumps a member of the rival gang before a rumble?"

"Yes." Kayed answered.

"Well," Riff said. "I've decided, that you don't have to forfeit. These two however, stay with us until after the rumble, and then I wanna make sure you'll take care of them." They agreed. And with a glare and a threat to their members, they left. I knew why Riff had done this. He would much rather win for real then to win because the other gang forfeited.

Well what do you think? I really hope you liked it because I love this chapter! lol. So please review! I would thank you all personally but I want to get this up! Sorry! But thank you for reviewing! Please continue to do so!
