PUPS SAVE A BROKEN FRIEND
I DON'T OWN PAW PATROL ONLY MY OCS
The sun rose on Wednesday morning. Elias woke up only to find that he wasn't in his bedroom. He was back in the house in the woods again. He knew that something wasn't right.
"What the hell? How am I still here?" asked Elias.
Just then Aaron entered the room. He was dragging 3 bodies with him. When Elias saw who they were he became terrified.
"NO THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. I ESCAPED THIS PLACE YESTERDAY" yelled Elias.
"You only thought you did. Now your family is dead because of it" said Aaron.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM?" yelled Elias.
"What I'm about to do to you for trying to escape" said Aaron as he pointed his gun at Elias' head & pulled the trigger. Elias begged for mercy but he got none.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" screamed Elias as he woke up in a fright. He turned on the lamp on his desk while breathing heavily. Angel, Ella & Ethan were also woken up by Elias' screaming.
"Elias what happened?" asked Angel.
"He still had me & he killed all of us because I tried to escape" said Elias.
"It was just a nightmare. He's not going to ever do anything to you again" said Ella.
"There's no way he's ever roaming the streets free again. Just go back to sleep. Everything will be alright" said Ethan.
After Ella & Ethan left the room Elias turned his lamp off & went back to sleep. When daylight came Elias got dressed, ate breakfast & waited for the bus.
"I'm sure everyone is going to be so happy to see me again. It'll feel like I'm a celebrity of sorts" thought Elias.
When the bus arrived Elias stepped on & almost instantly everyone started cheering & clapping.
"HOORAY FOR ELIAS" yelled everyone.
Elias just took his seat without saying a word. When the bus got to school everyone piled out quickly. As Elias walked to his locker he was approached by numerous kids who gave him hugs & told him how much they missed him. Elias put on a joyful mood but deep down he felt depressive & sad. This was how things were throughout the morning. During class Elias started to hear Aaron's voice in his head. Initially it wasn't a problem but as time went on he became more troubled by it. At recess Elias played on the swing set. He wasn't feeling very good however. The trauma he had suffered from his ordeal was starting to take its toll.
"Aaron is everywhere no matter where I go. That's how it's going to be for the rest of my life" thought Elias.
During 3RD period Elias began to hear Aaron's voice again. This time it was too much for him.
"I'll haunt your dreams forever. You're never going to forget me. I'm like Freddy Krueger. There's no escape" said Aaron.
Elias slumped over his desk & began to cry. He was being as quiet as he could so that nobody could hear him. Angel was the 1ST to notice that something was wrong.
"Elias are you alright?" asked Angel.
Elias didn't answer.
"Elias please tell me what's wrong" said Angel.
Still no reply.
"Elias what is it?" asked Angel.
Elias still didn't respond. By this point everyone in class was looking at Elias. All of them were concerned for his well-being.
"Elias are you OK?" asked Miss Spearwood.
"NO CLEARLY NOT" screamed Elias. Everyone was taken by surprise. Nobody expected this to happen.
"I JUST WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE" yelled Elias as he stormed out of class with Angel right behind him.
"It must be the trauma from the last week. It's starting to get to him" said Ryder.
"Can someone please go & see where he is? I want to make sure he's alright" said Miss Spearwood.
"I'll go" said Ryder.
Ryder left class & searched the school for Elias. He checked the guidance counsellor's office, the administration office, the restrooms & everywhere else Elias could've gone. Eventually Ryder found him sitting on the swing set with Angel right next to him. Elias had tears running down his face like waterfalls.
"Hey Elias. I'm really sorry that this happened to you. You didn't deserve to be abused the way you did" said Ryder.
"Even so I'm going to have to live with the memories of it for the rest of my life. I'm not going to wake up tomorrow & forget all about it. This is going to be something that won't be easy to deal with. The last 2 ½ weeks have been hell. I just want good times to come" said Elias.
"Don't worry good times are coming. I promise you that. None of us are going to let anything bad happen to you like this ever again" said Ryder.
"I hope things go back to normal. That's all I want" said Elias.
"Things will go back to normal" said Ryder.
After a few more minutes Elias had calmed down enough to participate in class again. Before they headed back Ryder gave Elias a comforting hug to let him know that everything was going to be alright. When they got back to class Elias reassured everyone that he was alright & that he was feeling better now. The rest of the period went by without incident. 4TH period was also uneventful. At lunch Elias sat with a sullen look on his face.
"Hey Elias how are you feeling now?" asked Ace.
"I suppose I'm feeling a bit better. It's just hard to deal with the painful memories of what happened" said Elias.
"Don't worry. We're all here for you. Nothing bad will happen to you as long as we can do anything to help" said Carlos.
"If you need to talk to anyone you can always come to us. We'll always be here" said Danny.
"We're going to help you through this no matter what. We're here for you until the end" said Katie.
"Everyone in town is glad to have you back. I know everyone will be willing to help in any way possible" said Ryder.
"Thank you guys. I don't know what I'd do without you" said Elias.
Elias & his friends shared a group hug to show how they would stand by Elias through thick & thin. The rest of the school day was uneventful. After school that afternoon at the Lookout Elias & Ryder were met by all the pups.
"It's good to have you back Elias. Adventure Bay wasn't the same without you" said Angel.
"All of us were worried sick. We thought we would never see you again" said Chase.
"This last week has been the hardest any of us have ever gone through. Hopefully nothing like this ever happens again" said Everest.
"We're all glad to have you back. We all love you & we'll always be your friends no matter what" said Marshall.
"You're really brave. It's amazing that you escaped all by yourself" said Rocky.
"I don't think anyone expected you to pull that off. You pulled a miracle with your escape" said Rubble.
"We never stopped looking for you even when almost everyone lost hope. It's good to see that hope was all you needed to find a way out of your ordeal" said Skye.
"I must say I'm impressed. You managed to do something nobody else would've ever done before. That's what makes you a true hero" said Tracker.
"I'm just glad it's all over. Now hopefully things go back to normal" said Zuma.
"Thank you guys. Even though I escaped all by myself you all still gave it your best shot to find me. Don't feel bad about not finding me. It's unlikely any of you would've found me at all. I didn't have contact with anyone & I was left to my own devices. Despite that you guys still did what you do best. I don't to see any of you say that you failed. You never failed in your mission. You guys did all you could & that's what matters. Now let's all just have some fun & not worry about what could've been" said Elias.
Elias, Ryder & the pups spent the afternoon at the beach. They were joined by Captain Turbot, Francois & Nikita. Nikita was looking a lot better than she did when she 1ST arrived in Adventure Bay. It was the 1ST afternoon everyone had together that they thoroughly enjoyed in a week. That night as Elias prepared for bed he thought about how devoted everyone was to helping him fight his demons.
"Everyone is so sweet for wanting to help me. I couldn't ask for a better community. I just hope everything gets better from here. I've suffered enough tragedy already as it is. I hope good times are coming soon. We really need it. It's good to know that everyone is standing by me ready to fight against the demons that are troubling me. I'll need all the help I can get" thought Elias as he went to sleep.
