"Hey Sammy, how's everything going?" Blades asked as the young girl walked into the room. Looking up and seeing a big smile on her face he raised an eyebrow knowing that she was up to something. "What are you up to now?"

"Why would you think I was up to something? I'm an angel!" She replied giving him one of her best innocent smiles.

"You're always up to something when you have that look on your face. You better spill before your brother comes in here and wants to know too."

"Okay fine." Letting out an aggravated sigh she took a seat next to Blades. "I guess I have to tell you since I need your help anyway!" She looked up and smiled at the older boy.

"We'll have to see about that." Blades let out a laugh and shook his head when he saw her smile fade into a frown. "I don't want your brother getting mad at me."

"Okay." She smiled already knowing perfectly well that she could get him to do whatever she wanted. "Well today when I was with Spot he asked me if I would ever want to live in Brooklyn," She paused making sure he was still listening, "and I said of course I would. I mean It's so much more exciting then Manhattan. And so then he asked me if I wanted to and he would show me the ropes, and I really wanna go but I have to ask Rambler. That's where you come in." She looked up at him her eyes pleading for his help…

Blades snapped back to reality when he almost tripped over his leader, who was sitting on the front steps to the lodge house. "You okay Rambler?" He asked when he saw the upset look on the others face.

"I should have never let her go! I should have made her stay here!" He burst out into tears thinking of his sister who had gotten killed just a few days ago. "She would still be okay, she would still be alive!"

Trying to comfort him Blades put his arm on his shoulder letting him know he was there for him, but he couldn't think of anything to say. Rambler was right; she was much too young to be living in Brooklyn. She should have stayed in Manhattan, none of this would have happened. If only they had stopped her…

"That's my baby sister Spot!" Ramble, the Manhattan leader, yelled as he watched the younger Brooklyn boy, who was only thirteen; lead his little sister, of only twelve, off to live in Brooklyn. "Make sure you watch out for her. And you do anything to hurt her I'll have to soak ya!"

"Aww quit it Ramble!" His sister yelled over her shoulder. "He's not gonna do anything to me!" She turned around and gave her brother one of her I'll-be-fine reassuring smiles, then turned all her attention back to Spot.

"I should have never even asked you if she could go." Blades replied taking a seat on the stair next to him. "She wasn't ready for Brooklyn. I should have told her no, that she couldn't go, that should have been the end of it. No arguments, no begging, just a flat out no!" He mumbled to himself burying his head in his hands and silently cursing himself for what he had done.

The two boys sat in silence, both in their own thoughts. Ever since the Sammy's death everyone had been different. They all had their own way of grieving. Some cried, some kept to themselves, some talked about it, and others tried to pretend she had never existed. But at the end of the day everyone was still upset!

She had been a big part of everyone's life, though she was younger then most, only thirteen years old when she died, she had always been there for everyone. She was your best friend and your worst enemy all in one. The one that always cared about you, the one that would always be there no matter what, and the one who anyone could count on no matter what they did. Now, in the blink of an eye, she was gone, and their world was starting to change.

Please Read and Review that would make me very happy!
