"Man its cold out here" I mumbled to myself.After a couple hours of walking I started to slow down.Im in Manhatten?Wow time flies.It was about 6 P.M.I turned a corner and felt a presence behind me.The presence mimicked every move I made.I started to walk faster and bumped into a scabber."Sorry"I mumbled and tried to step around them.He pushed me back and I felt another set of hands grab my wrists roughly.The guy in front of me kicked me in the ribs and I shrieked in pain.The other guy who looked exactlly like the one in front of me kicked me behind my right knee.I heard a snap and fell to the ground.Together they dragged me roughly into an alleyway and left me there in the snow.I curled up in pain.I was too weak to call for help so i just layed there.I heard a couple of guys walk by and with a gasp I called for help."Help"I pleaded.I heard running foosteps and a extremly cute black haired boy bend down on his knees.He had puppy eyes (brown) that could melt anyones heart."Are youz ok"He said helping me up."Sorta"I mumbled."Can youz walk"He asked concerned?"Emm"I mumbled and tried to take a step and nearly fell over in pain.He gently put his arm around my waist and together we walked to a small lodging house.We walked in and he helped me sit down in a chair.He sat beside me."Hiya my namez Racetrack"He said brightly."Mines Katrina but you can call me Ice or Flame when me tempers going"I said smiling back."If you dont mind me askin what happened"He said staring into my eyes.I told him what happened and he listened carefully."The delancey brudders"He whispered to himself."So where do you live"He asked trying to make conversation."Nowhere"I mumbled."Heyy I gotz an Idea why dont you become a Newsie!You could live here and we could sell papes togetha"He looked up at me hopefully."Emm sure"I said smiling back at him.He grinned."Here let me get you some dry clothes"He said and ran upstairs.A couple minutes later he came back down with a red flannel shirt,Black pants,black suspender,a pair of old black shoes, and a black newsboy cap."They dont fit me anymore so you can keep them"He said and handed me them.I gladly took them and he helped me upsatirs and left me alone to change.
