Enjoy!

As Bengal jumped out of the ring, I knew that making the first move would be stupid. So I waited for Fang's fist to attempt to smash into my face.

And guess what? It did.

I staggered back, clutching my jaw, suddenly feeling a spark inside me. I am GOING to win this fight. Whether Fang likes it or not. Fang reached for another punch, but I caught his fist and came back with a violent kick to his gut. He stupidly attempted another punch, but I grabbed his wrist in midair.

"Youse can't fight foahevah, chickadee," Fang said with an evil smirk on his face. His free hand swung at me, but I easily snatched it before it hit me.

"I am going to respond to that with a headbutt," I replied, cracking my skull into his painfully. Well, if it hurts me, at least it hurts him. "And stop calling me that," I ordered Fang as he stumbled back.

He suddenly lunged at me, taking us both to the ground. I hit the wood with a thud, and Fang kneeled over me, delivering punch after punch after punch, until I had a steady pool of blood in my mouth and on my face. I vaguely heard Bengal and Dawn shouting at some other newsies to 'GET HIM THE HELL OFF OF HER!', and I suddenly got inspired.

"NO!" I screeched, flinging Fang off. I stood up and wiped the blood away from my eyes. "This is my fight. And I intend to finish it." Bengal and Dawn backed off and shook their heads. I smirked and cocked my head to the side. "You want it, Fang?" Spreading my arms out, I smiled. "Then by all means, come get it."

This got a few snickers from the crowd, but their laughs were short-lived. Fang let out a terrifying roar of anger, throwing himself at me with intense strength. And you know what I did? I let him run into me. The two of us went flipping over each other across the docks, causing newsies to scatter everywhere.

So much for staying inside the white circle.

I finally punched him, good and hard, and I think I saw one of his teeth fly out. This got him very mad, so he kicked me viciously in the stomach. A shock of pain was sent rippling through my whole body, and I heard the audible gasp from the crowd as I dropped to my knees, my eyes squeezing out tears. Fang's fist caught me in an uppercut, and I was sent flying across the dock. I immediately scrambled up, becoming very irritated. Okay, I've had enough. Time for the Irish girl to come out.

I walked straight up to Fang and socked him in one eye, then the other, then his stomach. Before he could double over, I grabbed the back of his head and slammed his face into my knee. It must have hurt really badly, because Fang HOWLED. The cluster of newsies was cheering deafeningly, and I turned to them and bowed. But my smile was wiped off my face, along with everyone else's, as I saw the glint of bronze Fang slipped on his fingers.

Ohmygodno.

The bronze knuckles cracked against my nose and I got sent into a world of pain I didn't even know existed. For the first time in my life, I actually let the tear behind my green eyes, threatening to fall, spill down my face. I kneeled on all fours, trying to catch my breath, but Fang yanked me up by my hair. The bronze knuckles collided with my face four more times before Fang finally hurled me to the ground. I sat there, panting, crying, for a good half of a minute. The shouts and cries of horror from the newsies had subsided, and the docks were filled only by the sound of my heavy breath. I peered up at Fang, who towered above me now.

And I smiled.

"Isn't that called cheating?" I asked cockily, suddenly sweeping my leg in front of me and tripping Fang to the ground. As soon as he hit, I whacked him in the temple, knocking him unconscious. As I stood up I brushed myself off. I spit on Fang and turned to a very surprised Spot.

"I win."

"OH, my gosh, McRae!" Salt (Pepper?) rushed forward and shook my shoulders. "We have to get you patched up!"

I grinned at her and shook my head. "Don't worry about it. Wounds heal."

"No, Angel, she's right." Spot strode forward and looked deep into my eyes. As hard as I tried I just could NOT figure out what he was feeling.

"Angel?" I asked suspiciously. Where the heck did that come from…?

"Yeah, Angel. Dat's yoah new name, whetha youse like it or not," Spot informed me.

ANGEL? That's a wimpy name! I am FAR from an angel! I am in fact a devil!

"But Angel is so… wimpy!" I protested. Spot shot me a look that could kill a baby animal.

"Just take the name," Dawn ordered roughly. I looked around me to find everyone had the same look on their faces: a look that told me this name held some kind of significance-to just take it.

I paused for a moment more. "Fine," I agreed uncertainly. "Angel it is."

"Well, little Angel, let's see if youse can fly!" Fang, all in one lightning-fast movement, leapt up from the ground, grabbed my shoulders, and hurled me off of the dock. And, I'll admit it, I screamed as I plummeted into the icy water. I mean, REALLY cold.

You want to know something funny? I can't fly. I can't swim, either.

I thrashed around under the water until I couldn't move anymore from hypothermia. A figure splashed into the water beside me and I pray, PLEASE let it be someone coming to save me. But in actuality, it was Fang. I guess someone got angry and punched him in.

Well, good for them.

I expected Fang to just swim away and leave me for dead, but he did something I really didn't see coming. He swam over and clutched my wrist. Okay, so maybe he isn't any Jesus, but he's a better rescuer than no one.

Wait-wait- he isn't rescuing me, he's pulling me down! I floated there, completely helpless, as Fang pulled me deeper and deeper into the freezing depths. Oh crap.

Funny-right now I would give anything to have a prince come save me. This is totally not like me. Brooklyn must be doing things to my head.

There you go! Her name is now Angel.

This is one of my cliffiest chappies yet! I hope you cliff-lovers are happy. :)
