Hello Everyone and welcome to my new Planet of the Apes story and this will be in the point of view of Alex Sampson who is a teenage human boy who only has his father and two siblings with him ever since his mother had died from the simian Flu. Also I know that Zombiekitty217 has already done something like this and that's why I just want to say that the credit goes to her. This is set during the Dawn of the planet of the Apes movie. I hope that you will enjoy it. :)
I was playing with my younger sister Anna and older brother Michael when we were called to meet Dreyfus who seemed to have something important to tell us although that depended on why or what he was calling us for.
We looked at each other worried that we were in trouble for something that we didn't do but we gulped and started to walk towards Dreyfus's office until we were told by the man himself to get inside which we obeyed.
"Hello Alex" said Dreyfus, smiling. "I'm glad to see that you and your big brother Michael as well as your little sister are alright".
"Thanks sir" I said, smiling although it was forced. "So why have you brought us here sir?".
"That's a good question" said Dreyfus. "You see, there is a dam in the Muir woods and it's currently not on which means I would like you and Michael to go up there to fix it".
I knew about the dam since I have been in the Muir woods before with my family when we went on a camping trip but that was three weeks before mom died of the simian flu that had cursed the entire world in our wake.
Michael was the bossy-boots out of the three of us while I was the more peace-keeping and calm-minded one while our younger sister Anna was the shy and helpful one which is something that makes me proud to have her as my sister.
"Yes sir?" said Michael in his bossy tone as he turned to look at our younger sister. "Anna, you will stay here with dad until we get back".
"No" said Anna, shyly. "I don't want to be here all by myself, I want to be with you and Alex".
"Sorry sis" said Michael, sternly. "You are staying here and that's final".
I saw that Anna was beginning to cry which broke my heart since I felt sorry for her every time she cried and so I walked over to Anna before hugging her which she responded by slowly hugging back as she continued to cry onto my chest.
Michael was huffing obviously showing his disgust much to my amusement before me and Anna broke our hug as I turned to face Dreyfus who was waiting patiently for me to show my approval but I needed one condition to be approved first.
"Sir with all due respect" I said. "I would like to ask that Anna comes with us too".
"I understand Alex" said Dreyfus, nodding in understanding. "But what about the dangers that you three might face while you are in the woods? who is going to protect Anna?".
"I will protect her" I said, firmly as I made my intentions clear. "She is my sister and I will do Everything I can to make sure that she is safe from harm".
Anna looked at me with hope filled in her eyes which I responded by giving her a smile before giving my undivided attention back to Dreyfus who was busy considering my offer which I hoped that he would accept.
Dreyfus finally looked at me and nodded his head which made me smile in happiness as I held my younger sister's hand with my own before we and Michael walked out of the office that belonged to Dreyfus.
We walked back to our father who was busy holding a packet of crisps which he was eating until he eventually saw us and he came over to hug us which he does and we gladly hugged back in happiness knowing that most of our family were still here.
"Let me guess" said Dad, giving us a knowing look. "You three are going to fix the dam, aren't you?".
"Yes dad" I said, unsure on how he was going to react. "Dreyfus said we needed to go into the Muir woods to fix the dam".
"You sure that you three want to go?" asked dad, worriedly as he looked at Anna. "You two know that Anna isn't old enough to do something like this, it's dangerous".
"Dad" said Anna, shyly. "I really want to go since I don't feel safe here especially when I am being bullied by Jonathan".
Johnathan Davis was a white male and he was six inches taller than me and Michael combined and he was the bully who picked on both me and Anna especially Anna since he liked to mock her size which would get me annoyed although I rarely got angry but when I do, it is terrifying to all who see it.
He also liked to mock my skin colour and I knew that he was racist from the moment I first saw him and the moment that he first opened his mouth which gives him the habit of never shutting up until I either walk away or fight him with the latter being very rare indeed.
"She's right dad" I said. "You know that Johnathan is never going to stop bullying her, please let her come with me and Michael".
"No" said Dad which shocked both me and Anna. "She is staying here".
"But dad-" I barely protested before he rudely cut me off.
"NO BUTS ALEX!" shouted Dad. "You know that Anna is too young to do something this dangerous and she is not going, that is my final word".
I was shocked by dad's decision to have Anna staying in the very place that she felt that she didn't belong and I was worried that Johnathan was going bully and pick on her again with the thought scaring me.
Anna was about to cry again before I hugged her which she once again hugged back until we broke the hug and I kissed her on the forehead which made her smile at me and I smiled back knowing that we had a bond that will never be broken.
