Chapter 7 already. We're on the half of the story. In this chapter: Our trio of heroes finally make it to the town. Where there is a festival with a concert. And a band that Elwood apparently knows. Here they also meet a very unusual person, who could be an ally or enemy. And I dedicate this chapter to my good friend Gigaremo, who is also known as Gigz.
After a few hours of riding. Elwood, Pamela and Joe made it to the next town.
"So where finally here. And I can't believe it's still light" Elwood said amazed. "Well that's because time here is different from Lillian" Joe said.
They looked around and saw a board with on it in big letters Festival. "A festival. That sounds like something my uncle would like, shall we look" Elwood said. "But we need to follow Strongwood" Pamela said.
"True. But Ilias always goes to the weirdest places. And I needed to meet Gigz in this town, so we might as well take a look" Elwood says. The group steps off there motorcycles and walk onto the festival ground.
They walked around for a few minutes. But they saw nothing out of the ordinary. Well except for Elwood getting slapped by at least three girls.
"Does that happen often?" Joe asked. "You ask to many questions Joe, and yes that happens often" Elwood said. He looked over at Pamela who softly smiled to him. Giving Elwood that weird feeling again.
Elwood knew what that feeling meant, kind of. He was falling for this woman. And that was the first time he ever felt that for someone. He didn't even feel anything when a girl tried to seduce him when he was on the hunt for Dark Valley.
They walked further until they stopped because Joe turned around a lot "what's wrong Joe?" Pamela asked. Joe turned around again and looked at both Pamela and Elwood "I think that man there is following us" he said.
He pointed behind him. At 1 of the shacks on the great grass field stood a tall man. It was a fairly old man, Elwood guessed about 55 or something. He had short gray hair, wrinkles, he wore a suit similar to Elwood and held a suitcase.
"Keep walking" Elwood suddenly said. "Why you know that guy?" Pamela asked him while they walked away.
"Not personally at least. His name's Judge Dallas Sulk, I remember him from the time Ilias was put on trial" he said. "Strongwood went on trial?" Joe asked. Elwood nodded "yes when I was 17 and he 19. He was put on there for abusing and raping girls at our school. And at that Trial Sulk was the judge. And Ilias was set free because according to Sulk there was lack of evidence involving the case. Even though there where at least 7 witnesses by one of the rapes" he told.
"But if the evidence was clear. Why was Strongwood then set free?" Joe asked curious. "Who knows. All I know is that Ilias continued violating every girl he came across and was put on trial 3 more times. And every time Sulk was the judge, he was set free. Why I don't know" Elwood told.
Then after making sure they evaded Sulk they came across a big stage. Elwood looked closely and said "we have to be here" and then in a flash of light a band appeared on the stage.
"Hello we're TAB and we welcome you to this summer festival" the gothic singer yelled. "And now we will entertain you so here's our newest song" he yelled as the background music started.
I walk a lonely road I walk this empty street I walk alone My shadow's the only one that walks beside me Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah,
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's only me, I walk alone
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
A lot of people started to dance on the music. Pamela grabbed Elwood's arm and said "come on Elwood let's dance" and she dragged him over to dance with her. Joe started to dance on his own. I'm walking down the line Read between the lines I walk alone My shadow's the only one that walks beside me Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah I walk alone I walk this empty street My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
What's fucked up when everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, ah-ah
I walk a...
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'til then I walk alone...
The background music player for a little while until it stopped and the audience clapped.
Elwood said "let's go to them." He ran towards the stage and Joe and Pamela followed him.
With TAB….
The band consisting of Meph, Gigz, Skully and Rubix put their instruments in their cases.
"Good job guys," Meph said "but Gigz bro I have to ask why did you want us to play here?" was Meph his question.
"Well I bet it was because of me" a voice said. All members turned around and saw Elwood R Jackson, Pamela and Joe. "Elwood good to see you again old friend" Meph said, walked to Elwood and gave him a friendly handshake.
"Nice to meet you to Meph. May I introduce you to our fellow ally Pamela Redbone" Elwood said and introduced Pamela.
"Nice to meet you Pamela. I'm Meph, and these are the band members Skully, Rubix and my brother Gigz" he said. "Hello" Pamela said to everyone.
When Joe came in sight Meph said "ah Joe good to see you again." Joe became confused "how do you…" Joe was cut short when Meph straightened out his hair and put on some glasses.
"Wait…you are…." Joe was once again cut short "BBC News correspondent Corey Spondent to your service" Meph/Spondent said.
Elwood walked past Meph and to Gigz. "Gigz good to see you. We need to make a plan now" Elwood said.
Well my best chapter so far. TAB doesn't belong to me but to Mephilles2 and the song belongs to Green Day. For the people who have questions about TAB, Dark Valley and all other things. Read my profile or the story Elwood Jackson: The Enemy in the Dark, the prequel to this story. Well I hope you all enjoyed this chapter.
