FANFIC INDIANA JONES
CHAPTER X : The Ghost's Back
Abigail Brody "Abby" POV
He caught my hair and lugged me ! I screamed of pain because of my hair and I tried to catch his hands to make him release me but he continued to lug me all around him, laughing ! I fell on my knees and skinned myself ; I was screaming, hurting and about to cry but I couldn't do anything else.
"Let her go !" Mutt screamed.
The men laughed and when Mutt ran to them, the bear who had pushed him before punched him violently and I saw Mutt thrown in the garbage again :
"Mutt !" I screamed. "Let him ! Let him !"
"Don't worry for him, honey, we just will bring you to our landlady !"
"Your landlady ?" I whispered.
He pulled my hair and I gritted my teeth. He laughed and forced me to stand up. The three men and I – forced ! – went in the street but there was no one. I stepped back, punched and kicked but they ignored my shots and continued to walk to a black car. By the moment I will be in this car, I knew that I won't be able to be saved and I tried again, and again, and again to escape !
Suddenly, Michael – supporting Finnie -, Indy and Marion went in the street and saw me in their hands ; in the same time, Mutt arrived from the back street and everyone stopped while I was fighting much more against my jailers and tried to join my friends ! But the man with this bad smile caught my arm stronger…
"Let her go !" Indy exclaimed.
"And with the Key !" Mutt added, joining his father.
Indy lifted up a gun to us and he gave one to Michael who did the same.
The men in black looked each other and smiled, they all got out guns twice longer than Indy and Michael's ones !
"Let her go with her necklace now and we won't hurt you !" Indy exclaimed, serious.
"You really think we will listen to you ?" The Italian asked.
"You should !"
"But for now, we are the ones who have the girl, and the necklace !" He added.
To show it, the bear raised my necklace, smiling and taunting the Templars and the Joneses… But faster than I thought, Indiana Jones shot ! And in my necklace ! In shock, the necklace flight away and the bear shook his hand :
"Stop now or my next target will be your heads !" He threatened.
"We are not afraid of you, Doctor Jones !" The Italian said. "You can't take the risk of hurting your small protected !"
And he was right, I was in the middle and they can use me as a shield… Mutt looked to his father and to me, then his father again, saying silently to him to react, to do something. I looked to Indy and he surely understood what I was thinking of because he leaned his head a little.
He threw his gun and Michael – after a long hesitation – finally threw too, looking badly to Jones who ignored him. Mutt opened his mouth :
"Dad ! You can't do that !" He exclaimed.
"You chose well, Doctor Jones…" The Italian said with his smirk…
I suddenly gave him a nudge in the ribs and he stepped back, surprised ! I jumped and Indiana Jones unsheathed his whip ! With a snap, it caught the Italian's arm and with a strong movement, Indy threw the man in black against the other one and they both fell down.
Mutt ran to me and helped me releasing :
"The necklace !" Finnie exclaimed.
We all turned to the place in the middle of the road where the Key was projected. A woman – thin, with black hair and tan skin, dressed entirely in black leather – picked up the necklace and approached us, slowly, quietly with a victorious smile :
"Hi, honey !" She said.
I opened my eyes and I stepped back but I was against Mutt…
"Who are you ?!" Michael exclaimed.
"Give us the necklace !" Finnie continued.
But the woman ignored them and continued to look at me :
"You grew up, you're a young woman, now…" She said with her accent that I loved so much…
"You know her, Abby ?" Mutt asked.
I was shaking.
"Abby ?" He asked.
The others joined us and looked to the woman while I was terrorized…
"Abby, hey ! Are you ok, honey ?" Marion asked.
Mutt touched my arm and I reacted, I turned towards him and I felt my eyes full of cries :
"Hey ! What's going on ?" He asked. "Who is it ?"
Indiana Jones walked near him and looked threatening :
"Her name is Sadie Kane." He said.
"You know her ?" Marion asked.
"She's an archeologist, specialized in Egyptology…" He whispered. "She's not a.. person we want to be with…"
"And why not ?" She said. "I just wanna catch up !" She exclaimed, looking at me.
"Catch up ?" Mutt whispered.
He looked at me and I clenched my fists, looking down…
"She's.. my mom…" I whispered.
"She's WHAT ?!" Everyone except Indy exclaimed.
"Don't be that surprise !" My mom exclaimed with a laugh.
"But.. I thought she was disappeared…" Mutt whispered.
"She abandoned me years ago…" I whispered.
"It's wrong, sweetheart ! Who said something like that ? Is it your father ? Or your grandfather ?"
I looked to her, I didn't know how to react but she continued :
"I never abandoned you… But.. I learned something about my.. researches and your grandfather's ones…"
"This is related ?" Michael asked.
"Not really. But what your grandfather learned interesting me a lot ; I wanted to offer to you, the best future… And with your father, it was difficult. So, I talked to your grandfather. But he finally decided to ruin everything !"
A gust of wind stirred my hair and I felt my heart beating faster… She frowned, continuing her story :
"He burnt his researches to make sure it won't fall into the wrong hands… So, I decided to do it by myself."
"You let me just for.. a treasure ?!" I exclaimed.
"And what did you do, exactly ?" She asked.
I opened my mouth but.. I haven't got any voice anymore…
"You let your father without saying anything to him, he thinks you were kidnapped ! And for what ? For a treasure ! You're not better than me, my dear !"
"No ! I'm not like you ! Not at all !"
"You're wrong, you know it… Think to your poor father, alone, in this big cold house. You must know how much it's hard to be all alone, in a house like this, you're always alone, after all…"
"Because.. of you…" I whispered.
"You can feel guilty as I did ! I never abandoned you and I want catch up now."
I didn't know what to say… I didn't know how to react : if I must run away, cry, scream, beat my mom ! If someone could tell me what to say, it will be helpful…
"What do you want ?" Indy asked.
"I want my girl back."
"So, give us the necklace, we'll give you your daughter !" Mutt proposed.
I looked to him, in chock but Marion reacted before I, she slapped her son over the head :
"Henry Jones III ! Are you insane ?!" She screamed.
"Aoutch ! It was a pretext !" He breathed softly.
Marion and Indy looked exhausted and desperate by their son…
"If you want me back.." I started, making everyone shut up, "why this way ? Why don't you come back ?"
"Because you're on your crazy trip and you're obsessed with this treasure, like your grandfather ! The only way to me was to have your necklace to make sure you will come to me…"
"I won't come, even if it's for my necklace…" I finally whispered.
I stepped, looking at her sadly and badly. She looked surprised like everyone else :
"I love this necklace, and I loved my grandfather, the Templars but.. after everything I lived, travelling around Scotland the rest of the World, you tried to kidnap me, you hurt my friends after had abandoned me."
I made a pause… I can't believe I will say that after all the nights I spent, crying and screaming her name in the middle of my sleep after all my nightmares but I had no choice :
"I don't mind all the treasures of the world, I just.. don't wanna see you anymore in my life…"
She looked to me and her surprised look turned to an angry one, her honor was trampled by my temperament after all…
"So, I can keep this little thing ?" She asked, showing the Key.
I turned to Michael and Finnie :
"I'm.. sorry…" I whispered.
"I understand…" Michael said, looking at me, I felt his gaze was on fire but it wasn't anger at all, I didn't know what to think about it…
I turned to my mom and looked her right in her eyes :
"Keep it if you want…" I said, shrugging…
She opened her mouth, angriest than ever, she turned back and went into her black car with her men in black who blasted gaze me…
"We have to see how is Isabel." I said, running to the shop.
"Abby ! Wait !" Mutt screamed.
He tried to follow me but his father caught him, shaking the head. I was almost at the shop but I heard them :
"Let her a moment, Junior…"
"Don't call me Junior…" He grunted.
But before I arrived at the stairs, I saw Isabel sat on it :
"Isabel ! Are you ok ?!" I screaming, kneeled beside her.
"Yes, I'm fine, honey, thank you…"
She stroked my cheek and I smiled…
"And you, are you ok ?" She asked, seeing my look.
I stayed silently. And she lowered her eyes :
"Where is your necklace ?" She exclaimed.
"I.. I will explain…" I whispered.
I closed my eyes, about to break up… But someone caught me my shoulder and made me stand up. I turned to Michael, surprised. I met his gaze, it was the first time I was that close of him and I realized he has got amazing green eyes, like emerald… But there still was this intense fire incomprehensible…
"I take care of it, go home with Finnie and the others…" He said slowly.
I didn't want, I wanted to explain by myself to Isabel why I lost our only way to open the treasure's seal. But I walked to Finnie who helped me to go back home…
