Blackest of Nights chapter 13, Stunning Exposit

I chasd after Sylvia, tryin by best, to catch her, bfore she got into treble. I saw her drat into a alley, with her dres, nd kept up best I cult. I was runnin ot of breathe fast, on account of, little exorcize, nd at sum pont, ym talecot fell of in the street, nd lnaded in a pudle. I didn fell the compass nymore, I was goin bcause I new I neded to, bcause I new Sylvia waas in danger, specialy if the Bluw Cros were if come back.

I followed her, close I cult, till I saw her go in alley. It was a ded ened aley, I new, so I was able to corner her. Ther was no running nymore, so it was jus her nd me, alone, together, to talk. She looked angry, and pisedof. "TARO REDGRAVE, YOU HORIBLE FUKER!" she shouted, lepping frowad to slap me, nd doin it. "HOW DARE U FOLLOW THE LIKES OF ME, SYLVIA BROCKLEHURST, TO N ALLEY, ND CORRER ME TO STAP ME FRUM RUNNING? U DESPICEBLE PERVERT! I BET U ONLY WANT TOO HAV UR WAY WITH ME, JUS LIKE THE CROWS!"

"Wat? No." I said. I recoled from the slap, nd rubbed my chek, whech hurt. Sylvia seemed relly, relly, mad, but I culdnt leave her lone on her one with Elizabath Bathori on the lose. "I jus wan talk to u. Wat was that about, with the Crows? Wat wer they sayin, bout James? Nd hoos dat Antony guy?"

Sylvia sighed, since she new she had to answer ym preguntas now. Her fac was still red, bhind her white makup, nd runnin mascara, but she was calmer, nd didn't look as much leik she wanted to rip ym face of. "James Monty, ym bofriend…." She refluxed. "Hes ben missin for a few weks now, nd perceeved ded…No body nows what happens to him. Hes not the leder of the Blue Crows now, bcaue of that. Now the leder is a mean boy, named Antony Beckett. He was Jame's frend, bfore, but now hes defrent, nd hes ledding the Crows all rong. Ledding them to do horible things, that otherwise James wouldn't have wanted. So I left, nd went back to ym family."

"Ur family? I didn't no u had a family." I said.

"Duh, of course I do! Everyone has a family." Sylvia said with anger. "My family is well repsect, and rich. My father is a rich venter, creates all sorts of products, and sels them to make our fortune. I only left, bcause he was tryin to send me to school, with my sisters. I didn't want that, so I ran away, nd met James, who undersatnd me. He acepted me into what was the Blue Crows, then, nd we ruled fair, together."

"But the Crows, you always bullied me! And stole all my things, nd my food, nd made me go hungry! Nd Besides, I don't have a family." I said.

"That's bcaues your to weak for the streets, you stupid mongrel!" Sylvia said, shoved me down, nd I hit the ground. "We stole, bcause it was easy. We starved u, to feed ourselves. You have to no, that's how the street wroks! U cant get by with pease and thank yus." She said.

"I no that u have to do horible things to get by, but u cant do thoes tihng, and say they good! Not justified, and u wish you didn't have to do them, but u do them, to survive! When u tell urself that stealing, and hurting, and killing is okay, bcause ur benefiting urself, that's wen you stop bein human, nd bcome a monster!" I said.

Sylvia smirked. "It sounds like youv been their before, fool. I don't know wat uve ben through, but you must have done some awful things, to get such ideoligy." She said. "But anyway, I got werd, from my partents estate, that James had ben found, and was in the Blue Corws hedquarters. Antony offerend to give me control again, so I went. It was a trap, they only wanted to rob, nd have theyre way with me, bcause they new my family had money. Nd now that you've done god nose what with them, they'll no doubt be angry, and try tracking me donw. Now im cursed to the streets again, only this time, I wnot have any copany, or freidns, to help keep me save."

I remembered wen I was on the streets, all by myself, just like Sylvia is now. I new her feeling, and I saw her getting redy to cry. I rememebred that I, to, was street again, nd would be alone again, even if I had strong powers, and Ildi looking after me. It wouldn't be right, to go on with that sort of power, noing that Sylvia was in serious dangers, from the Blue Crows, and from Elizabeth Bathory. "But you don't have to be lone! I could help you." I said. "I don't want you to be alone, like I was. I can keep the Blue Crows from herting you, and protect u from the cereal killer!"

Sylvia snored. "No! Why would I do that, when ur porbably the person who killed James, anyway? With your demon powers, and whatever the hell that thing you did earliy, was. I still have a sar, bastrad! I cover it with makeup now!"

I thought bout James, and the last I saw him. He was still at Bathory's, killing girls, and doing horrible things to they, like he did to me, and was probably looking for me, or 'Teruko', I was call. I new Sylvia probably wouldn't leik that news, and would prefer if she thot he was dead, instead, even if I new the truth. "Please! Can protect you. I don't like hurt anyone, specially not innocent people, nd I only use my powers wen necessary. I only want to keep you safe, sinec there is danger out here, and James….." I trailed of. "Well, anyway. Its okay if u say no, but im on the street now to, and I don't want to fight the Blue Crows alone, specially w there dangerous new leader."

"Easy for you to say! You have demon poewrs." Sylvia said.

"But I can help you with them too! If they attack us, I can stop them, from hurting us!" I said.

Sylvia considered it, before sighed. "Fine. You win, Redgrave….but ONLY UNTIL I FIND OOT WAT HAPPENED TO JAMES."

With that, we shook hands, and bcame prof. partners. :)
