June Conlon (Newsies) pt3 Final Adventure

Chapter 14: Tied Up

June's eyes slowly opened as her head pounded. What just happened? What was happening? Is she ok? Her eyes opened and closed a couple of times before focusing on where she was and her situation.

She was,what looked like, a basement though very old or they just never used it. She couldn't tell if she was leaning against rocks or bricks, probably rocks feeling the sharpness of the wall. The was a small window up above her than shined through and she could see ahead of her. She was near a corner and her side had more light than to her right.

Also when she looked down she could see rope tightly wrapped around her. She was all wrapped around the top part of her body, hands behind her, and he ankles were together wrapped. She was surprised that there was nothing on her mouth to stop her speaking.

"Em...eh hello?" She called out, more like a wisbear "Hello?" She called out more. She regained her last memories: Harlem coming to the orphanage, Ashley being someone else, fights. It was just all to much for her to process and adding on she was in a unfamiliar place tied up.

She began to sniff as tears formed down her face. She would've hidden with her hands but...they were a bit tied up at the moment.

"J-June?"

June shot her head up. She couldn't see anyone else.

"June!" Someone wisbeard yelled.

June turned to her right, it was quite dark, she squinted her eyes a bit to see who or what was there. It took her a moment but after realising there were 3 other people there she screamed a bit.

"June it's me! Shh. Before they come back here!"

June reconside the vocie as the figure huffed shoveling across the wall June could see his face. Though it looked quite different with bruises and scratches he still had the same loving heart.

"Racetrack?" She called out but then broke into a smile "Racetrack! Oh I'm so glad to see you!"

"Me too sweetheart" He called over budging along the wall. Race was tied up differently than June. His wrists were tied together and just his ankles though it looked more knotted and tighter.

"Was hugging Freya when they started tying us up" Race spoke seeing how she looked at the ropes. June gave a confused look asking who she was. Race nudged his head over to two sleeping figures. June had to squint her eyes becasue it was quite dark. "Those to are newsies as well. Freya is the Queens leaders sister and there is Spilt, he's second in command for Bronx"

"When did you get here?" June asked out. Race began saying they arrived a couple days back. Spot made a mission plan to spy on Harlem to see what thier plans are.

"We found out their asking guys, other than newsies, in pubs and stuff like that"

"Isn't that cheating?"

"You think Harlem cares about if they're cheating?" Race sarcasticly laughed a bit holding his tied wrists up. This made June laugh a bit.

Race continued "By the way, so you understand and not get confused, today is Monday-"

"But they took me on Saturday-"

"I guessed. They said you slept for a full day! Don't know how that happened but you did. Probably gave ya something or somewhat. They brought ya in here last night and i heard them speaking and tying ya. But ya feeling better?"

June nodded. Though felt werid hearing she slept for a full day! That's crazy. She must've woken up at one point surely. But that's not the time to think about that. She needs to get out of there.
