Prologue  three years earlier

Jack Kelly's POV

"Stop! Please get away from me!" A voice cries from an alleyway nearby. My eyes slowly open as I was resting.

I hear another scream which causes me to quickly get up and run to help.

Jumping from rooftop to rooftop I arrive quickly. I look down into the ally to see three large guys, scabbers no doubt, hurting a young girl.

I grab a pipe from next to me and climb my way down. One of them grab her roughly by the neck and I can clearly see tears falling from her eyes in the streetlights.

"Ey yous! Leave 'er alone!" I shout as I run at them and hit one with the pipe.

They turn towards me and a fight breaks out.

Ashlyn Knight's POV

Tears fall from my eyes as the guy presses down on my throat, when a voice comes out of no where.

Soon after a boy runs at the guy holding me and hits him with a pipe. The man drops me as his attention is now focused on the boy.

I scoot myself against the wall in pain and try to hide in the shadows. After more yelling and sounds of pain the three men run off while the boy is yelling profanities at them.

The boy turns to look at me and slowly approaches.

A whimper of fear escapes my throat as he leans down to my level.

"Ey. I ain't gona 'urt yous. The names Kelly. Jack Kelly." He says gently with a soft smile.

"Ashlyn.." I respond softly as I look up at him.

"Wells Ashlyn, we ought to gets you's checked out." He says gently as he holds his hand out for me to take. "You'll be safe with me" he adds with a smile.
I timidly take his hand, but upon closer inspection, I realize that he's a newsboy.

"You is a news boy..?" I ask softly as he helps me up and I whine as it feels like my ribs are cracked. 
"Yea. 'Ey 'ere, Let me 'elp " he says and picks me up and starts carrying me somewhere.
"Where are we goin?" I ask softly as I hold onto his shirt.
"Home. You'll be safe wit us. Maybe you could even become a newsie" he says with a smile.

"I'd like that Jack" I respond with a bright smile.

That was the day I met Jack Kelly. And that was the day I became his little sister, the new queen of Manhattan.
