-Time skip 3 years to when you're 15 and your sisters are 11 and 12-

You and your sister have managed to live somewhat normal lives. You live in an abandoned warehouse about 20 minutes from your high school and 30 minutes from the middle school. Life isn't so bad though you have a job as a waitress you make decent tips. Everything is decent, and you get by on food for the most part.

You still have your mothers diary which is precious to you. You got home around 5 pm to change for work. "GUYS! I'm home! Where are you?" You went looking around (not many places to look) "hmm….I guess they're out. They should have at least left me a note." You changed into your work uniform and left. 5 hours past and your shift ended (Hard work, huh?) on your way home you heard some people talking ahead and decided to pull your hoodie you brought with you up just in case they might be men. (After all it IS 10pm and West City can be dangerous) You passed by only glancing at the people who were talking and noticed that in this bunch of rough looking guys was your sisters! You immediately went over and grabbed their shoulder.

"You two are coming home RIGHT NOW. You have a lot of explaining to do."

You started to pull them away.

"Listen lady I don't know if these two are related to you but you can't just take them away from the Ruby Rust gang without us finishing our deal."

Said what looked to be their leader. He had a menacing look to in his eyes, greasy hair, and he was strong from what you could see considering you were in an ally and the only light came from the street lights.

"A deal?" you looked at both of them. "What kind of deal are you talking about? What kind of DEAL could you POSSIBLY be making with two little girls this late at night? HUH?"

You asked each question getting close and closer to him, hands on your hips.

"We aren't little girls…"

Sori said quietly. You turned around a gave her the 'you had better not say another word' face.

"Listen sweety it's not really your business to poke your nose into the affairs of others."

He looked seriously at you then to your sisters behind you.

"You two better figure out what we discussed here tonight or I'm afraid you're gonna be in bigger trouble then your mommy here can get you out of."

You gave him a face, and walked your sisters home in silence.

"WHAT THE HELL? Huh? Do you guys think you're COOL going out this late? Do you think that it makes you so MATURE?"

They looked down. Toni, who never spoke much before opened he mouth to say

"We're sorry Jynx. We weren't doing anything bad….He doesn't know what he was talking about."

You were shocked at the fact that Toni even spoke so you let what happened slide since Toni, who has never lied before, just told you what you believe to be the truth. You lectured them thoroughly and sent them to bed. Days went by and Toni and Sori could come home at odd times (8pm, 9pm, or 10pm) . Your everyday run of the mill "talk about what happened to them that day" then go to work schedule was being thrown off, and for some reason money was going missing. After a while you got fed up with not knowing and you hated to question Toni's word, but you HAD to know. You took the day off and decided to have a talk with them one day when they came home to drop off their bags. You were hiding to scare them, but then you saw them pick up your wallet.

"I hate doing this to sissy….I love her and you so much. You're my sisters….but we'll repay you double time just as soon as we can!"

You knew she was talking to Toni. Toni nodded and they ran out.

"Why those little….I cannot believe them!"

You chased after them only to find them in broad day light with that gang the Ruby Rust something or others.

"You two got our money?" The leader said.

"Yeah Spinner….but we're short…" Sori handed him the money and looked away.

"Short you say…..Well short ain't gonna cut it. You damaged our bikes little girls and you owe us 1,000$ in damages." He said looking down on Sori and Toni who looked un comfortable. Sori's expression changed to that of aggravation and she said

"Why do you need the full payment back, huh? You know you're just going to gamble it away and you keep winning too! You've already won almost 2000$!" she yelled to him.

"Quiet bitch!" he kicked Sori hard in the chest. "Don't you dare kick my sister!" you came running out and punched Spinner in the face.

"You two…You have been stealing money from me to give to these….these grease monkeys!" you yelled at them. "Listen here sweet cheeks-" "No YOU listen here GREASE BALL!"

You flipped Spinner this time. *Wow I didn't know I was so strong*

"My sisters aren't paying you another dime GOT IT? They're little girls who need to be studying and you've got them out at all times of the day bringing you money!" you said.

One of his lackeys said "Haha I've seen you before-You're that waitress girl. No way you've made the amount of money that they've given us! Not on tips alone!"

You looked to them waiting for an explanation. "Well….you said not to get money at school so we've been…..pick pocketing a little…" Sori said while fidgeting.

You couldn't believe what you were hearing. Your sisters who you've given up so much to be with, who you struggled to get a job for, who you've always tried to be there for are stealing and getting used. By this point you are feeling pretty conflicted. People started to gather to watch what was going on. Some even cheered on for a fight after seeing you flip Spinner. (I did say you guys were in broad day light meaning you guys are out in a public place during the day) Spinner, who had been dusting himself off after you flipped him into the dirt, was feeling prideful and was pretty mad. You turned to him just in time to see him running to sucker punch you. Sori screamed, and you closed your eyes bracing for impact.

After a few seconds of waiting you opened your eyes to see a tall green man with broad shoulders grab Spinner's fist in his own.

"You're a pretty prideful fighter aren't you?" He sounded dangerous, but calm. His words cut through the tension like a sword and in an instant he threw Spinner's fist to the side and walked away. You felt like you owed a thank you to that green man with the white cape and purple clothes for if he hadn't stopped Spinner there would have been a lot of trouble. Trouble that involved police who have your records, and who have been fairly warned that you and your sisters are run aways.

"You two still owe me that money and you had better keep paying or else…"

He gathered what little composer he had left, and then he and his gang left along with all the gathered people. You turned to Sori and Toni whom you've never seen look so guilty til now. You went to them and instead of scolding them you grabbed them into a tight hug.

"You two know that I'm not proud of what you've done, but I know that you guys were just trying not to get me involved." You pulled away and put your hands on their heads.

"I could have helped. I could have worked out a deal with him." (Since things like damage to an automobile could go down on your police record if you don't watch it). They cried and hugged you.

"We're so sorry….I made Toni lie to you, and I stole, and I was just so confused and didn't want you to have to be stressed after working all day." You smiled and although you knew you'd have to punish them you still wanted them to calm down first. You all got home and they explained everything.

About how they were playing tag and accidentally bumped all of their motor bikes over scratching the paint and even denting them. You lectured them sweetly and grounded them for 2 weeks to come straight home, no playing with friends no anything til after the 2 weeks were over.

They cried again and said that they'd never give another dime to Spinner. That if he comes after them they'll run to a safe place and hide. You sent them to bed, and you decided that today was just too much so you decided it'd be good to get some sleep too. After laying down for awhile you heard a sound. "Hmm….must be rats." You dis regarded it and went back to sleep.
