Okay, should I actually make an epilogue? I've been told I should once I'm done with this. But once I'm done I'll think about, and since summer is on its away (this is my last month of school) I'll have more time to write. So yes an epilogue is on my mind but of course it's the readers decision.
Booker and Copper arrived in time at the Town Hall. Copper grabbed a hold of Mayor Tortimer's shoulders and calmed the old turtle down. The Mayor went into another deep sleep understanding the situation was under control. Booker stood there with a notepad in hand just looking around at what to do, his hands trembling with the pen and notepad.
Mable couldn't stop crying as officer Copper asked for a few questions of what was going on.
"Didn't Booker tell you what was happening?! Sable and Tom Nook are kidnapped! Don't ask questions! Get to the CITY!" Pellyyelled standing next to her sister Phyllis; everyone was beganning to tense up.
Phyllis though as tough as she was; put a hand on her young sister's shoulder and whisped into Pelly's ear.
"Calm down Pelly…" the purple Pelican whispered.
Pelly stomped her foor in frustration.
"If it was you who got kidnapped I wouldn't be standing here! I'd be out there chasing down the kidnapper and beating the stuffing out of him!" Pelly yelled at her oldest sister her feathers began to ruffle.
"…Nah he'd bring me back. I'd be too much for him to handle…So there wouldn't even be a reason to chase him down…He'd just look like a total idiot for grabbing the wrong sister…" muttered Phyllis and turned away as a small tear rolled down her cheek. Sometimes Pelly was just too sweet.
They heard the Town Hall's door shut loudly. They all looked up to notice that Mable was missing.
"Now look, you gave Mable a dangerous idea!" Phyllis yelled comeing back to her senses.
Officer Copper and Booker hurriedly ran to the door.
"We should go and stop her! I think…." Booker muttered his options to himself and stopped hesitating at the door.
"You're correct Booker! Let's go get her!" Copper nodded to his partner.
"So I'm right…I think…"
They both scurried out of the town hall
Phyllis turned to her sister and mumbled.
"How did Booker even pass the police academy?"
The two Rhinos made us walk to the water with our hands tied behind our backs. I turned to Tom. It was too dark to his see his dark eyes. I didn't even want to face my sister, Labelle. We haven't talked to each other in so long; the silence didn't matter to us we just accepted it. We would never be the sisters that we once were. Or were we even sisters to begin with? I always chose Mable over her and she always chose Mable over me. Except that one day a long time only thing we have in common is designing clothes and our little sister Mable.
I turned to Tom. We had nothing in common and yet I fell in love with him even when he was breaking apart. I slowed my pace and walked beside Tom. The raccoon looked up at me with his grieving face.
. It pained me to see him this way. He was losing everything, his business and his life. Now Mable was going to be all alone without any of her sisters she would have to take care of the Tailor Shop alone. Could she even do it all the work on her own? Mable, I'm so sorry I escaped and didn't tell you, I'm sorry I ran off with Tom Nook even when he needed me. But you will never hear these words will you? You will never receive an apology from me. I'll be long gone sinking to the bottom of the harbor. I will never get to sew again. As these thoughts formed, my heart began to break.
The rhinos told us to stop. We were standing on the dock looking at the black water below us. My sister was on one side and Tom Nook on my other.
"Any last words from you three?" a rough southern accent came from one of the rhinos it was too dark to tell which one though.
Tom began to speak his voice cracking.
"I'm sorry for everything Sable from the past and to now. I'm sorry……" He whispered and looked on into the water waiting for himself to be pushed in.
My slightly breaking heart slowly began to beat.
"I guess help isn't coming. It's too late now…" Labelle whispered into the darkness.
Then my heart, giving it's last beatings began to rapidly beat into and ongoing rhythm.
The two rhinos waited for my last words.
I didn't know what to say, I had too much to say. I still had a dream, didn't I? A goal I wanted to achieve in my life? My sister Mable must be worried and scared without me. My sewing machine will never be used again. It would develop cobwebs and dust in an abandon storage basement. Tom Nook's store would be torn down and rebuilt as some sleazy scandal! My sister Labelle would never really achieve her dream she had cut and thrown her heart out for! Redd can't win this round. He can't ruin people's lives. He can't have that happy ending. He belongs behind bars for being a sleazy kidnapping business man! I can't let this happen! I can't let this go on! But what am I to do? I closed my eyes.
The two rhinos were waiting patiently. The rope burned into my wrist as I tried to move my hands around. My heart was beating so fast it couldn't stop to take a rest. My quills began to stand on in. The wind began to pick up. Oh I should have listened to myself when I told Mable to get a jacket. I was right, it was cold tonight. Or was it morning? I didn't even know.
"Is that it? No one wants to say anything more?" Another rough southern accent rhino asked us.
"wait…" I whisper but it was too late one of them placed a hand on my shoulder. Soon I could hear police sirens coming this way. All five of us turned to face the approaching cars. The two rhino's who were the idiots that they were didn't even finish their job of pushing us in. Instead they ran for it.
Tom Nook then spoke softly, his head bowing.
"Sable…" My name rolled off his tongue.
My freckled cheeks heated up as I heard his voice calling my name.
"HELP CAME!" Labelle screaming bursting with joy.
Officer Copper rushed to the scene of the crime grabbing the two rhinos before their escape.
"You two are under arrest whatever you say will be hold against you in the court of law!" Copper barked with authority unknown to us all. He and another City police dog handcuffed and threw the two into the backseat of the squad car. Booker came hurriedly over to us.
"Miss. Sable and Mr. Tom Nook we are here to save you! I think…Maybe…" He mumbled after his last comment. I was sure he wasn't hearing his own words. Booker should know if he is here to rescue us he is a police officer!
"You dimwitted Police dog! You ARE here to save us!" Labelle yelled at the bulldog.
"Please Booker, untie our hands…" Tom Nook muttered to the confused police officer.
Before he could untie any of our hands, Tom Nook was tackled and thrown into the water.
"TOM!" I scream as he splashed into the harbor. Labelle had turned to the tackler, our little sister who seemed to have tears running from her eyes.
"Why did you push Tom Nook into the water? His hands are still tied he can drown!" Lable glared at our sister.
My eyes didn't leave the water waiting for Tom's head to pop back up; but deep down I knew, he may not even come up.
"TOM NOOK DOESN'T DISERVE TO LIVE! That mongrel, kidnapping Sable from home getting you two, my own sisters, kidnapped as well! The raccoon diserves to be behind bars too!" She raged on with every little thing she hated about Tom Nook.
His head didn't come back up. The rope became loose from its wear on my wrists as the rough material fell to the ground. My two sisters and Booker blurred from my mind as I dived into the water after Tom Nook. My heart racing as I hit the cold water. I held my breath looking around for Tom. I could see him from a distance falling to the darkness below. I swam toward him and began pulling him up to the water's surface. My heart and thoughts only of him, only of the raccoon I loved. Hoping Tom Nook would be okay and telling myself over and over in my head everything was going to come out just fine. I reached the surface gasping for air. I looked up; Lable had her hands out waiting for me to come up to the surface.
A worried look appeared from her face. I had Tom in my arms he was still out cold, but I could feel his pulse beating for another chance. Booker and Copper came over and helped Tom Nook out of the harbor as Lable and Mable pulled me from the water. Water was dripping.
"You smell like fish…" Lable muttered. Mable threw a small blanket over me.
I turned to face Mable my little sister who had pushed Tom Nook into the water.
"I'm sorry Mable…I'm sorry I ran off without telling…" I bowed my head in shame.
"…I'm sorry for not excepting it and pushing Tom Nook into the water…" She mumbled to me. Mable looked at me her lip quivered. She wanted to hug me I know, but I smelled like fish and I was wet.
We turn to hear Tom coughing and splurging up the water. He looked around at the people before him.
His eyes stopped onto me and noticed I was also the one that was wet. Tom's eyes had widened. He got up when people kept telling him he should lye back down. He wouldn't even listen to the officer's commands. My freckled cheeks became warm. He was now standing over me.
"We're both wet…" Tom stated as if that wasn't the obvious.
"And we both smell like fish…" I laughed a little.
Then what shocked me was that he leaned down and kissed me. A jolt went rhough my body. This kissed was nothing I have ever tasted and felt before. Even in this predicament. Then we broke apart.
"Thank you Sable for everything. For trying to stop me for coming to the city where I wound up penniless. For not giving up on me like my other friends had. For coming to help me and for saving my life…"
He then squeezed me into a bear hug and lifting me off of my feet.
"I love you Sable."
Those words were enough to last a life time for me. This was my dream. It was to be happy with someone I loved. And that someone was Tom Nook the very person who had sat in his grandfather's shop counting the bells in the cash register and leaning over the counter asking me how my father's tailor shop was doing. And we would talk of our future and the dreams we wanted to have. This was my dream. To have another chance with Tom Nook.
Well, this ended nicely. And if any questions. Redd did get caught as well dont worry, he'll pay his time. So the kiss was okay right? Even if they smelled fishy? I didn't want to add something that mose people might not like. So I don't know. But I enjoyed this, even if I sped it up some. If you noticed.
