- Chapter 12 - Seize the Day -
Warnings: Scabs? Idk
Third Person POV
Davey: Now is the time to seize the day
Stare down the odds and seize the day
Minute by minute, that's how you win it
We will find a way
But let us seize the day.
Race looks over at the taller boy.
Courage cannot erase our fear
Courage is when we face our fear
Davey places his hand on Race's shoulder, smiling.
Tell those with power safe in their tower
We will not obey!
Race smiles at him, starting to gain his confidence back.
Jack decides to join.
Jack and Davey: Behold the brave battalion that stands side by side
(Side by side lol.)
Jack, Davey: Too few in number and too proud to hide
Then say to the others who did not follow through
You're still our brothers,
and we will fight for you
"And sisters!" Sniper shouts, pumping her fist into the air.
The boys laugh.
Jack, Davey, Race, Crutchie: Now is the time to seize the day
Davey smiles when he sees (technically hears) Race and Crutchie join.
Stare down the odds and seize the day
All: Once we've begun
If we stand as one
Someday becomes somehow
And a prayer becomes a vow
"And the strike starts right damn now!" Jack yells, his glare strong as three scabs come out.
The scabs grab their papes.
Weasel stays silent.
The Delanceys weren't there.
If Race knew anything, he knew Weasel sent them to Brooklyn so they'd be safe.
However, the Deluca brothers from the Bronx, Aiden and Ethan, were there.
"The sun is up," Aiden starts. "The birds are singing. It's a beautiful day to crack some heads," he smirks. "Don't you think?" He asks.
"Never." Race responds under his breath, scowling.
"Are you working, or trespassing?" Ethan snarls, stepping forward. "What's your pleasure?" He asks, cracking his knuckles against the palm of his hands.
The scabs stop in front of the Newsies, their faces emotionless.
Davey leans towards Race's ear. "Who's that?" He asks.
"Scabs." Race answers, glaring at them.
Davey nods, still not completely understanding, but he figured he works find out soon.
"We can take them!" Finch exclaims, his slingshot in his hand.
The other Newsies cheer.
"Let's soak 'em!" Romeo shouts, starting to run forward with the other boys.
Davey stops them. "No!" He shouts. "We all stand together or we don't have a chance!" He yells, stopping them.
The Newsies all stare at him.
Davey sighs defeatedly, looking to Jack. "Jack-" he starts.
"I hear you," Jack responds, looking at the scabs.
