PROLOGUE:
Sitting in my room, putting to wires together as I tried to fix the generator that I've been working on for weeks, the room smelt old with a slight twang of smoke as the wall paper peeled and dust had collected on everything.
I had chosen this room a year ago, when I found the place and I haven't had the time to clean it up, since I've been too busy with organising everything else.
The door bangs open but I didn't look up from the wires I put together, "Helena"
"Bronte, what seems to be the matter? You sound quite out of breath and I'm curious as to know why you've-" I looked up and froze, "Why is blood on your clothes?" I stood, letting the wires go I stood and walked towards her and stared at her face.
"Jack's gotten caught"
"And you got caught in the cross firing" I muttered, yanking my military coat from my coat rack next to the door I flicked the collar up and started my way down the 'abandoned' hotel hall way.
"Helena, what's up?!" Tom runs from his room to my side as I go to the stairs and started to walk down them quickly.
"Jack's at it again"
"Caught? Do you need back up?"
"I don't want you kids in the cross firing, don't worry kid, I've got this covered" I said and walked into the deserted, old and dusty lobby that has been made to look deserted and abandoned - hardly the case in reality really.
"Make sure the exits covered and the watchers are on their shifts when I'm gone, oh, and make sure no one else gets caught in any gang wars" I told Tom, "And get Bronte cleaned up" I say with authority laced in my speech.
Tom nods and salutes me, causing me to roll my eyes before I hurried to the kitchens and dropped through the garbage shoot, landing in the dumpster I waited a moment before I pushed the dumpster door open and closed it again before I stopped, "Shit" I whispered.
"Titan's crossing!" I hear Bronte from the shoot.
"Thanks kid" I broke out into a run and hurried into the street I kept my head down and put a beanie over my head before I hurried to Titan's crossing. Finding myself at the mouth of Titan's crossing alley and saw the group of thugs keeping one of my own captive.
"Oi, Cinderella's, why don't you back off the kid and let him go"
"Hel-"
"Shut if you little shit" a thug smacked Jack over the head.
"Oi, no touching him" I hissed and stormed over to the thug before I clocked him one in the jaw.
His gang members grabbed my arms and held me still, "Jack, get out of here" I snapped at my family member.
"What, no way-"
"NOW JACK" I growled at him and he turned on his heel before he ran out of the alley.
"You bitch, you let the fucking kid go" the man I hit growled, I tried to pull out of the guy's hands but they held on tightly - bastards.
"And you hit me... looks like you are in need of a lesson"
"The only lesson I need is the one to kick your ass" I chuckled before I jumped up and kicked him in the leader in the stomach, "That, ass hole is what you get when you try to take one of my kids"
"You whore!" the leader grunts before his fist collides with my face, he then grabbed the back of my hair and pushed my face against the wall as he started to search for any weapons.
