chapter three
outside the warriors hangout
3:00pm
Cassie had finally decided to do the honorable thing and head down to the warriors place, and now here she was dressed in her brown leather jacket, ratty jeans(with her favoured red braces on) and black wifebeater top- getting dirty looks from the warriors patrols outside of the hangout! as she walked up the rackety, unstable steel stairs to get to the warriors main doors she heard a few intimadating wolf whistles come her way.. she then halfway up the stairs turned around to see that they were coming from a cheeky looking black boy with a red bandanna around his head and a big afro, cassie smiled then flipped him the bird making a burst of manly laughter come out from the other young thugs around him!! then the boy sniggered before saying"hey what are you some sorta fucking freak show man- if you've had a look in the mirror lately you will have saw that your wearing boyish clothes. hah that suits you though cos you must be a lesbo huh? hey lesbo-girl do us all a favour and fuck off back to where you belong and maybe you should try sucking-", the afro boy didnt have time to finish before casssie was on him like a sack of potatoes punching him a lot of times in the face(the impact of the punch made him get a bloody nose)... some of the warriors new bloods/patrols were just standing there shocked but most of them had crowded around and made a big circle over cassie and the afro boy! she shouted angrily as she tightly gripped him on the neck strangerling him" you fucking pussie dont you ever ever say shit like that to me again- and if you do i will more than likely end up killing ya, so do me a favour why dont you start doing it with girls instead of men everynight in the back alleys of these streets OK" and with that she loosened her strong grip on him and shoved him to the side to let his crew of thugs help him and fuss over him- there was just a few guys that were standing there laughing and humilating him at the fact that he had just been nearly killed by a chick!
Cassie finally had made her way to the hangout doors, then she went to push them open when a tall black man that was dressed slightly like a red indian bumped into her. she got a shock as she looked up and saw a grim look on his face which she knew was meant for her! the man asked her sternly" lady whats going on?"
"erm i dont really know it must of been a big fight or somethin", cassie noticed that the man was dressed sort of like a red indian and he was very skinny and wirery. he replied knowingly" our newbloods would never fight with each other.. thier with each other all the time- it was wasnt it?, i saw you out the window and dont try to act all innocent on me"
"ok so what if it was me i aint having no body talk to me like that" cassie replied with attitude, the man grabbed her aggressively by the elbow making cassie grunt and remark"hey man who do you think you are, get off me"
"i'll tell you who i am- you ever heard of the big meeting in the bronx van courtland park, that happened in 1979?"
"yeah so what- what about it?"
"well i happened to be one of the nine chosen delegates of the warriors that went that night- it was rough man, cyrus got shot and guess who got the blame? US THATS WHO. we had to make it home 100 miles away back to coney island and we had to set the record straight about the shooting... we lost some good men that night, so dont you DARE tell me who do i think i am? - im cochise thats who i am" he explained angrily, after the two of them had a quick and arkward stare-out cochise let go of the grip on her elbow. after a while of standing next to the double doors cochise asked cassie more gently" what you here for anyways sister?", cassie shifted uncomfortably, scratching her head before explaining"erm one of your guys- irish i think he's called told me to come here to try out for the gang".... just then cochise bust out in a belly-laugh before saying" hah sister ive heard all sorts of werid things but that will be a first, a lady warrior huh? godamn whats the world coming to? oh anyways i'll go get crazy motherfucker"!
Three mintues later irish emerged from the doors and made his way over to lean on the balcony next to cassie, he asked her general questions like "how have you been", "how you feeling" and things like that(it was basicsally just to try and make conversation). Irish finally told her to follow him and they went through the double doors and she was amazed at what she saw, she had never ever saw such a cool hangout as the warriors hangout- she noticed it had this homely feeling about it! she looked around and saw some gangmembers staring at her weridly at the pool table, some were dancing to the stero with some party girls (probably chatting them up)- she saw one young boy on the pinball machine slamming it vioently. cassie then turned her attention to a young hispanic looking boy that couldnt of been any older than 21- he was busy spraypainting a tag on a little area of brick wall in the corner of the hangout, cassie looked down to the lower level of the hangout and saw it had a lot of training equitment- she looked in disgust as this really sweaty man that was very pumped with a goatee and leather fingerless gloves on shouted up wolf whisterling "hey baby can i have some of that hot cherry pie that you got", she then got a shock as she had nearly bumped into irish as she saw he had stopped next to a couple of people standing next to the stereo that were talking amongst themselves(they were listening to the sweet sounds of the seventies)! irish whispered into one guys ear who had sandy-coloured hair and had a very sharp jawline and cheek-bones she had a inkling that this guy was the leader of the gang, the man answered her inkling by coming foward to her and shaking her hand saying" hey im swan the leader of the warriors and this man next to me is the main warchief snow", cassie looked at snow and she thought he had too much of a soft looking face to be in a gang(he didnt even look remotely scary in any way). cassie glanced at a very beautiful woman next to snow that had sea-blue eyes, shaped lips and glossy, curly black hair- she had a little chubby child in her arms that looked no more than 1 years old, she then looked back to irish then to swan and explained" ok i know you will think this werid but i want to join your gang because see swan all my life i have never fit in, ive always been the werid tomboyish girl he gets spat on where ever she may be. im originally from belmont in the bronx and ive always had a bit of a shambles life- my mother has always crafted her ass off to try and give me anything i needed. sometimes though it cant always be like that so now ive moved here i still dont fit in and i just-just need some comfort in the fact that for once in my life i do fit in and a gang for me is the only way of life- i aint good at anything else but fighting- and believe me im a good fighter.. its just i dont know i cant think of any other way of life and i just need someone to believe in me for once in my life, i know its dangerous but please just let me in the gang"! swan chuckeld and replied" real good speech kid but no i cant i dont want that kinda blood on my hands if you ever get hurt i just wont allow it". cassies blood started to boil and she asked angrily" well how come she gets to be in the gang?" she was pointing to swans wife dianna and swan smiled heartedly saying" kid thats my wife dianna and this is my son fletcher and plus they aint really in the gang", before storming the house down and leaving she stated" well of fine if thats the way you want it SWAN i'll leave but if i see any of your guys dont expect me to be nice to them and- and also im not giving up im gonna come back nearly everday and if you keep on refusing im gonna make your gang-life a horrible misery", just then everyone raised an eyebrow and started laughing but cassie didnt care because she'd been laughed at all her life but one thing was for certain she werent giving up without a fight!
Cassie stormed out of the building and irish followed she thanked him for his help and explained that she would still be cool with him for helping her(even though she was very angry with the whol situation) then she went back home to her apartment and that night in bed she lay there knowing that she was adament to be a WARRIOR!!
