I woke up early to singing from the girls and I was too exhausted to really care at this moment..i looked around and Maple tossed me a new button up making me grin at her in thanks. I changed and pulled it on and looked around and finally found my cap.
I sighed it was kind of chilly outside and I slipped my vest on and combed out my hair thanks again to maple. Fire sighed and pushed her red hair from her face and looked at me amused at my cranky look on my face.
"not a morning person are ya?" she asked amused and I sighed and rolled my eyes silver looked crankier then ever. I knew why too..i put my smokes in my pocket along with some matches and I tied my shoes and we all left the room after wiping my face and brushing my teeth thanks to fire.
"not really fire..give me a minute or two and I will be fine" I said with an amused smile on my face my eyes brightened a bit after I listened to everyone joking around along with the boys being rambunctious. I went down the stairs and squeaked when I was pulled aside. I turned seeing spots cocky grin back in place and I rolled my eyes at him.
"ready?" he asked and silver walked down and looked at spot pissed off right now her eyes are set in a glare a crazy gleam in her eyes and she shook her head.
"for what?" I asked confused my nose wrinkled at the dream I had last night and I felt like I wanted to kiss him again but I held back. He sighed and I studied him for a minute red and blue plaid shirt, black pants, his shoes were really run down, he has a little dirt on his nose from whatever…possibly ink from his journal. He muscles bulged with each movement he made and it made my mouth slightly water.
"sellin..come on I am spottin ya 100 papes.." he said with a slight smirk on his face and I looked at him bug eyed right now. 100…papes?...is he joking..and from the grim smile on his face I am guessing not..ugh this is harder then I thought and this is my first day..i am incredibly nervous right now.
"alright…ill do it.." I said determined a spark in my eyes showing that and he looked me up and down and nodded at me. I looked around at the rickety couches and chairs, and the dusty tables and stair ways..it was home now and I actually didn't mind it too much.
"lets go den" he said nodding at me and we both slowly headed out of the room and to the streets. The docks are connected down the road and its spots territory as well..i saw wolf and he nodded at me and draped an arm around maple and fire laughing and joking with them. It made me smile a bit..but I got nervous when I didn't see silver at the distribution center.
Spot got 200 papes and handed me a hundred and I almost buckled under the weight of them and sighed a bit following spot. He smirked and nodded at a boy with blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes leaning against the wall a smoke hanging from his lips.
I wondered who he was…I shrugged it off and danced around my corner and sang along getting peoples attention and I told stories from in the paper exaggerating a bit and it caught peoples attention and I turned and the blonde was gone…what the hell?...i shrugged pocketing the money and looked around the bustling streets…carriages?...who would of thought I would be seeing it with my own eyes?...and the dress code..some woman gave me sympathetic looks..but..i didn't care..i was comfortable.
I heard a clang and I pocketed the rest of my money I walked down to look around curiously when I was grabbed from behind. I squawked and hit something hard behind me and I struggled around and froze when a knife was put to my neck and I heard a sort of cynical voice speak to me.
"you listening?...cannon was it?" a voice asked and I recognize it…sunshine..shit..what was he doing in Brooklyn? I nodded and he laughed a bit and I started to think of a way out of this without getting killed. "good..listen I need you to work for me..can you do that?" he asked slowly letting go of my mouth.
"no…" I said sternly and he sighed a bit and held me close absently stroking my stomach drumming his fingers on it..normally I am ticklish..but not right now.
"well this puts a damper on my plan.." he said with a sigh and I felt his shoulders move up and down. "guess I am going to have to kill you since you are of no use to me.." he said with a demented laugh.
"not today.." I muttered and I stomped on his foot and his hand and knife moved away letting me get away from him. I turned and looked at him and he laughed pointing the knife at me.
"your better then I was told Cannon.." he said shaking his head amused "and smart…such a waste.." he said shaking his head and a few guys jumped down around me making me wonder where the fuck conlon is!
Usually the hero jumps in to save the day..but this is real life and no knight in shining armor is going to jump down and save the day. Where are those damn birdies I read about?...or his humongous army and why did they let sunshine in?
Sewers..sewers must be how they got in I mean they smell just as bad as one.
"so…slow or fast?" sunshine asked as I was circled by humongous goons..they have the weight and height..but not the speed..i am little and speed is on my side and no skirt is definitely a plus right now..good thinking amber.
"ummm I prefer quick..but…in this case I should be asking the questions" I said looking around and I wasn't angry enough yet..
"yeah..well wheres your conlon now?..possibly fucking my own spy?..you know she is going to have da honors of killing him right?" he asked smirking and I stomped down the anger he was right though.."I mean where are the infamous birdies I heard about?" he asked again..he is educated and I heard a slight accent but it was diminishing..was he rich?
"shut up…I don't need conlon to fight my battles for me" I said getting pissed off..he struck a nerve. I was getting pushed back and I heard him laugh maniacally.
"come on goily..dis is da streets and your too pretty for dat.." he said mocking me and I snarled and ran forward and slid under him and ran to the wall in the back of the alley dodging crates and garbage cans to get to it. Slipping a bit and I ran up the wall going harder as I went and I flipped over them as they crashed into it.
"still think you can win sunshine?" I asked smirking and he laughed holding his sides and his hair flapped into his face and his green eyes looked crazy in the slight light.
"oh yes my dear..i do.." he said and I heard something and turned as something sharp slid across my cheek making it bleed..what the hell?...i snarled and punched him in the nose and jaw and lifting my knee up and hit his right eye making him fall over and I stomped on his left knee. He cried out and I started to fight not thinking and only doing what feels right..
I finished and sunshine laughed and I wiped sweat off my brow cringing as my eye twinged..i got hit a few times and kicked but it is worth this. "leave sunshine" I said looking at him and he held his arms up in surrender and I heard a groan from a corner and I walked over seeing the blonde kid looking dazed..
"what happened?" he asked and I sighed a bit and shook my head at him he looked so pathetic.
"I whooped sunshines goons asses..now get up I don't think I am going to stay awake.." I muttered feeling drowsy..and my mind was spinning as I slowly fell to the ground.
"shit conlons going to kill me" the kid muttered before I passed out fully hitting the ground and I felt the impact and it actually hurt a lot.
"tsk tsk…Amber" I looked up seeing ghost spots face and he looked nervous..and well he should be for what just happened.
"go away conlon.." I muttered angrily and he sighed a bit his eyes shifting back and forth. "what happened to the birdies?..what happened to conlon knowing every single little thing happening in his kingdom?..i don't want to hear get the hell away from me" I said in the dream steaming and he sighed and walked over touching my bruised eye and shook his head.
"I am so sorry..i really am Amber.." he murmured and I saw the truth in his eyes
"spot conlon you cannot fall for me..just go away and let me do what I need to, to keep you alive..okay?..lay off the dreams" I said tearfully and he stroked my cheek and shook his head.
"stay safe." He muttered kissing my forehead and leaving I sighed and sank down feeling breathless and soon I was jerked out of it.
"I DIDN'T MEAN TO DROP HER IN THE WATER!" someone yelled with an irish brogue and I felt something flying out of my lungs and I cough and spit and I was turned onto my stomach and heaved and coughed the water out..what the hell happened when I passed out? "I was still drowsy from the cloth and whatever was on it..she was too heavy.." a guy whined making me sigh and roll my eyes and I saw brightness flash through my eyelids and I blarily looked around.
"Why is everyone trying to kill me today?" I muttered and I heard a gasp and I looked over to seeing spot choking a guy soaking wet..apparently I was too. Maple was wringing my hat out and I took it standing up. I shakily walked over to spot while silver was still nowhere to be found and I put a hand on spots shoulder.
"go away cannon I am not in the mood" he muttered and I looked up into his cold blank grey eyes and raised an eyebrow.
"spot..its not his fault..not his alone..its sunshines" I murmured and he looked at me and dropped the kid and he held his throat looking up at me like I was an angel.
"how da 'ell do you know about sunshine?" he asked and I ran a hand through my hair and thought quickly worrying my lower lip. I looked around the docks and saw cards being played and smirked a bit and quickly hid it.
"how about we talk this over. Over a game of poker.." I said and he narrowed his eyes at me and smirked a bit.
"alright…I tink Kelly needs ta hear about dis one…" he whistled and two boys came over one latino the other italian and spot whispered and they nodded running off to god knows where. "were going ta hatten tonight..actually in an hour get dry and changed..ill meet you here in an hour ise need ta tawk ta Dragon heah" he said gesturing to the blonde and maple and fire ran over and led me inside not saying a word…damnit what did I just do?
