Pie Eater listened to the conversation, not joining in like usual. He didn't like getting all mixed up with all that serious junk, he wasn't one to make decisions so it didn't matter at all. His eyes nearly popped from his face when he heard the accusation about the Delanceys. Stupid rats, made enough since to him- those guys were vicious especially to the younger ones and gimps.
As Ace and Sneaks departed he got to his feet and tugged on Firecracker's arm. "Common we're goin'. Now." It was the most serious he'd been all day. He let go of her arm and ran back onto the shore. Even though his clothes were wet he started to dress, not caring at this point. He felt it was his duty to spread the word, at least about Bronx pulling out - those poor kids didn't need to get beat for nothing.
He looked back up at his friend. "Hurry up!" He called to her frantically.

"Alright, alright, I'se commin'," Firecracker stated, jumping up and pulling herself out of her thoughts.
She ran to the shore quickly. Her clothes were still uncomfortably wet, but she ignored this. Pulling on her socks and shoes, she placed her hat back on her head and looked around for a moment. The newsgirl knew not to joke at this time, for there was no humor in this situation. Sighing, she shook her head, following Pie Eater, still with a thoughtful look on her face. Being new, she had a feeling the only thing she could to help the war was to stay out of the way of those who knew what they were doing and fight when necessary. However, it was the fact of whether or not she could do that was the question.

Pie Eater finished tieing his boot and hurried off the shore. He looked back for Firecracker, making sure she was not too far behind. His mind was racing now, somewhat excited by the news but worried at the same time. He slowed to allow his comrade to meet his side before crossing into Brooklyn- apparently their only enemy left. He swallowed hard.

((New Day))
Cheater sat back on the rocks, her usual smile on her face, and her eyes dancing merrily. Still, she had a cigerette in her mouth, and was drumming her fingers absently on the rock, listening to the sound of the ocean, and watching the seagulls fly overhead.

(New Day)
Alley Cat followed Dusty for awhile and then ran up right next to her stoping to take a breath. She took Dusty's hand as they made their way to the shore. It was beautiful out well save for it bein' hot as well Alley couldn't put her finger on it. She sat down on the shore line her feet in the water. "Well maybe now we won't get annoyed by boys." She smiled at Dusty.

Dusty grinned over at Alley and sat down beside her, giving the others hand a tight squeeze. "Well you never know do yah?" she giggled. She sighed as a thought struck her. Should she ask? "Alley... you told me earlier that you don't trust men... i was just wondering... If you don't trust them.. than how can Jackle be so close to you?" she was asking this for a reason... something she need a little bit of help with.

Alley looked at Dusty for a second. "because he saved me. and he's never hurt me. and i know he would never." She wanted to say what from but she was having a hard time trying to put it into words that wouldn't make her break down. She looked down shly. "i was afraid of him at first too."

She sighed deeply. "I know what you mean..." she shivered and looked off into the distance. "Its just... I get so... Oh never mind..." she shook her head in frustration. it was driving her insane that she couldn't tell her friend about the scars and the beatings, she knew she should, after all Alley had told her the entire recap of the most horrific night in her life. She felt tears pooling and with a snif, looked away.

Alley wrapped her arms around Dusty. "it's not easy i know it's not easy trust me. seven years it took me to open up. seven." She sighed, she didn't mind Dusty not tellin' her sure she'd like to know but she could probably guess. It wasn't like in some way it hadn't happened to her. Save for the part about the guy being her boyfriend. Her mind travelled to the night she had turned 17. like all her birthday nights she had dreaded it. She had gone out wondering on her own which she knew was a horrible horrible dicision but she could help but make it. She wished she hadn't now. She was wonderin' manhattan when a man had come out of the shadows. She had run but she didn't get far before he had over powered her. She had sobbed as he drug her down the street and into and abandoned warehouse. She stopped her thinking right there shaking. She got up and started pacing back and forth. He mind traveling of and on to the horrible times and the time Jackle had helped her.

Dusty looked up quickly, grabbing Alley's hand. "Al.. stop... just sit..." she said calmly, patting the others arm.
“Rex… What are you doing?” she asked him cautiously, sliding her hands over his chest. He cocked an eyebrow as he began kissing her neck and chest. Becca froze, what was happening?
“Just relax and hold still…” he nearly demanded her.
“Are you drunk?” she whispered. His gripped tightened around her wrists as he looked at her.
“No…now just shut up okay?”
Becca flinched, pushing away from him.
“Stop it Rex…” she whined, getting very uncomfortable, very quickly.
“I said shut up Rebecca…”
Becca did just that, she shut her mouth and lay there on her bed, frozen in fear over what he might do to her if she didn’t do whatever he wanted.
Dusty shivered, tears so close to spilling over that she had to close her eyes to hold them back. She wrapped her arms around herself and pulled her knees close to her chest. "I couldn't stop him..." was all she could get out as she collapsed into sobs.

Alley sat down again wrapping Dusty in her arms. "it's all right youwere frightened. some else would have had to stop him." She forgot about her own pain entirely and rocked Dusty humming softly then she began to sing a song her mother used to sing her the only thing that kept her going. "when think that nothing can be done. when you think that noones. Somewhere out there there's someone waiting to pick you up. To pick the pieces of you. that have fallen down. Help youto put yourself together again. My child never forget that no matter where you go. There is good in this world if you know just where to look. And it will find you some day." She had tears in her eyes but only a single tear fell.

Dusty sniffed and lay her head against her friends shoulder, tears streaming down her face as she listened. She turned her sad blue eyes upwards to look into Alley's before looking away again, glad to have the other girl with her. Glad to have someone who understood her pain.

Alley stopped singing. She held Dusty close. "one day. One day luck will find us and love won't be far behind it." She sighed. "My mother...my mother used to sing that to me. My father would............" Her voice trailed off. She closed her eyes listening to the sound of her father's voice in her mind. the second verse to the song. what she never sang aloud. She couldn't it would be right for her. just that first part that was it. everything else stayed locked inside of her.
That night flashed through her mind.
She had gotten up and walked out into the living room of the small appartmen her mother had. She stopped dead seeing Ken the guy who was trying to get her mom to fall for him. She didn't like him. for more reasons then just one. Her mother turned to see her. "Yes sweety." "Can someone tuck me in." "Daddy's coming sweety."
He father got up and walked her back to her room and put her into bed. She knew something was wrong then but she didn't say anything. She was four what could she have said. He kissed her goodnight.
A little while later Ken walked in. She was pretending to be asleep but by the time he had all her clothes off she was screaming. Ken produced a dagger and toldher to shut up. Cutting her stomach a little bit and licking off the blood. She started crying. "Stop stop."
He parents came running in her father's eyes widened as he saw his precious child bleeding and nearly dying on her bed by the time he got there. She had felt him pick her up that was before the blade went in her back causeing her to gasp.
It was seconds later that her father was shot and killed.
"MIke!!!" her mother had screamed.
"Elizabeth you are coming with me."
"NEver you..." That was the last she heard from her mom.
The next thing she knew was being blinded my gasoline and that was it until she had woken in the refugee.
She held her breath and let it out slowly so as not to start crying. She shivered but still held Dusty close. She hated remembering hated it.

Dusty cringed, it was as if she and Alley had been sharing thoughts.
Her eyes slowly began filling with tears, in her sixteen year old mind, this was the end of her life. She slowly began to cry, the tears falling down her cheeks harder and harder every time he touched her, until suddenly something cold and hard was pressing against her stomach. She winced and tried to pull away, but it cut into her harder, the more she struggled. Daring a glance down, she realized that Rex had a knife to her stomach and was looking at her with a kind of fire in his eyes.
Dusty sobbed again, burrying her face in Alleys neck, trying to fight off the memories, she shook hard, her vision blurred and her mind obscured by the images and the pain.

Alley hugged her tighter. He mind wander to a night when she was had turned five. as if anyone hadn't already notice her birthday was never a good day. She's been born on an odd august night it was raining for that matter.
The warden wasn't synder at the times.
She sat on her bed in an isolated cell. As the warden walked in. He looked angry.
Curling up she rocked back and forth until her slapped her across the face. Why did it have to be her was all she wondered.
She uncurled obdiently almost. He picked her up and threw her back down on the bed fliping her on her back and pulling up her shirt. He produced a whip and it hit her hard a several times, before he fliped her over noticing the tears in her eyes.
"Your worthless and so disposable butyou bring me money and some pleasure." he had whispered too her.
She shook her head. She wasn't worthless and her life ment something so much more then what many people thought. Many didn't even understand why she was still so sweet and caring. After all she'd been through. She shuddered closing her eyes tighter. mumbling. "no no more no more"
