Sad Simon 7
Sorry if I haven't updated in a while! I was busy with younger siblings and chores but here's chapter seven! Oh, and thanks for the help and reviews on the last chapter xHayleeLouiseMillerx, Cy23, and whoever else gave me ideas! I can't remember at this second who helped but whoever you are know that I am very thankful!
Simon and the others all walked in the forest. They stopped after a while to make a fire and cook some meat over it. As they cooked the meat, Brittany snuck out into the trees. The others started panicking and Alvin told Simon to look for her alone and come straight back to them if there was any trouble. He said okay and started looking for Brittany. He saw her leaning against a tree with a cell phone in her hand.
"Where'd you get that Brittany?" Brittany jumped and opened her mouth to scream but closed it in embarrassment then said: "I stole it from Marie-Elise right before we threw her into the stream. I was trying to call Dave or Miss Miller but it there's no signal. I think that her minutes are up." Simon nodded. All of a sudden, something came out and started pulling Brittany into the bushes. She screamed on the top of her lungs, causing Simon to jump up in fear and try to pull her back from whatever was pulling her. Whatever it was stopped pulling on Brittany and had grabbed Simon now and started pulling her away. Brittany had barely any time to react as the thing came and pulled Simon away faster than the blink of an eye. By now the others had run towards them and saw Brittany kneeling on the floor, bawling her eyes out.
"What happened Brittany? Where's Simon? Why are you crying?"
"Oh Alvin, it was terrible! Something came and took Simon! It was all my fault too!"
"Brittany, I'm sure we can get Simon back," Alvin assured her. She sniffled a little bit them smiled. She stopped crying, and hugged Alvin. Then she noticed Jeannette's face was a pale white color which could be seen through her dark fur.
"Are you okay Jeannette?"
"Not really, I mean, what if Marie-Elise or Samuel and his men captured him? Or what if an animal got a hold of him? He definitely wouldn't survive that!"
"Jeannette, does it make you feel better if I told you I know what direction that the thing went in?" Jeannette nodded very quickly. Brittany pointed westward, and then they started walking that way.
A few hours later, Brittany was showing them a beautiful ocean with cops strolling around, moms with crying babies, kids complaining to their parents about how it was too hot and the water was too cold and men enjoying looking at the ladies. They saw a shack and ran into it. Once they were inside, they saw Samuel holding a gun up to their heads. Marie-Elise was holding Simon hostage and he was barely conscious.
"Kill them Marie-Elise. They're ruined their own chance of living. I gave them a good choice and they left me. It just breaks my heart to see children your age die. Well, not really." He laughed at his own dumb joke and motioned for Marie-Elise to start shooting.
"Any last words before me and my daddy kill you freaks? Well, actually he won't kill you, I will." She smiled a crooked smile showing her rotten teeth and crooked gums.
"Wait a minute, Samuel's your dad?"
"Yes Alvin. Samuel's my daddy."
"How come you won't kill us yourself Samuel?" asked Simon who was waking up. "I guess you're just too scared to do it yourself." Samuel's face reddened and he prepared to slap Simon but he just gestured for him to go on. "You've always been too afraid to hurt anybody. You always get your daughter or you men to do it."
"Do you know who you're talking to? I am the second richest man in the world! I can kill you in the blink of an eye!" Simon shrugged, making him even madder.
"Wait a minute daddy. Instead of killing them, can I keep them as my own children? That way, you AND I could both be happy."
"That's a swell idea Marie-Elise, but after them, you're gonna die too. All you are is an embarrassment to my reputation. You look like you're a poor beggar for Pete's sake!" Marie-Elise got really upset then. She went up to her dad and shot him in the head with her shotgun. Then she aimed for Simon.
"This is your entire fault, you're a pest. This is your entire fault! You made me shoot my own father!" Jeannette jumped in the way when she pulled the trigger, making the bullet land into her arm. She screamed in pain. This seemed like it was happening in slow motion. She passed out from the pain and Simon carried her out. Brittany was devastated that her sister was hurt. Alvin was shocked that Jeannette would do something like that. He stayed close to his younger brother for moral support. Simon blinked back tears. If she hadn't done that, he would be dead and she would be the one in tears. Alvin would be very upset and Brittany would hate her sister being in such a terrible condition.
"Mr. Cop person!" Alvin called out to a cop. "We need your help! We have a seriously injured person on our hands right now!" The cop strolled towards them slowly. He was Jeannette unconscious and with blood on her arm and he called the paramedics immediately. Once they came, during the ride to the hospital Alvin told the police what had happened to them. Then they described Samuel and his daughter.
"We've been on their case for eight years. They've been in and out of jail seventeen times. At least with Samuel dead, Marie-Elise won't be able to do much. Now that I've called a helicopter you kids will be home in a jiffy."
Review! I will update on Friday!
