Chapter 10

I am so so so sorry I haven't updated in two weeks! I've been quite busy going on daytrips and such. But I hope you enjoythis chapter! I've been working on it for three days, even though its not really long:) So please review, and I'll say about 5 reviews. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed this. It means alot;D

Fred swore to himself. It was a rare coincidence Jasmine was Mikey's sister. She was currently rocking back and forth on the blood stained carpet, sobbing her heart out. Every now and then, she would shoot glares at Daphne, who was also crying on the floor. The phone line had been cut; they couldn't even call for help. Fred was trying for signal on his phone, but with no luck. Scooby was so petrified, that he was hiding under the table, cowering. Daphne got up and left to go outside, and Fred followed, wrapping his arms around her.

"Its all going to work out just fine, Daph," he told her, and she shook her tear stained face sadly.

"No, Freddie, it's not. We're going to go to prison for a crime we didn't commit! I mean, we aren't exactly on Jasmine's christmas card list, and vice versa." Fred nodded at her truthful words.

"Your right. My phone's getting a little more signal back, I'll try and ring the police and an ambulance for you, lovely. You don't look so good," he said, but Daphne hadn't heard a word, as she had fallen unconscious yet again. He tried to wake her up, but failed. The police and ambulance services were on their way, and Daphne's pulse was getting slower and slower. Fred was nearly in tears; there was nothing he could do for the girl of his dreams.

The ambulance finally arrived, followed by the police. The paramedics ran over, and pulled Daphne on a stretcher. Scooby came running out of the flat, and got in the ambulance and sat by a distraught looking Fred. He was making a call to Shaggy and Velma, telling them to meet him at the hospital. It was like bedlam there, and Fred had never felt more alone in his life. He kept stroking Scooby's ears, for comfort. The doctors crashed Daphne on a hospital bed through some doors. Shaggy and Velma arrived, not knowing what had happened.

"Fred! You ok? Were's Daphne?" Velma asked, panicking.

"I'm not sure... Daphne's in there, fighting for her life, thanks to that guy she fell for." Velma gasped, and burst into uncontrollable tears.

"But he was so nice to her! Were is he?"

"He's dead. His gun backfired when he went to shoot Daph. He turned out to be Jasmine's brother, who she told Daphne bullied her, and tried to kill her. And thats why he battered her. She might be put on life support. All because of Jasmine again." Velma and Shaggy were seething. Shaggy kept clenching and unclenching his fists, as if he wanted to go and punch somebody. He wanted to make someone pay. Daphne was like his sister. Jasmine had ruined even more lives, and driven her brother to try and kill their friend. But the group wouldn't get much more time to speak. A police officer, named Officer Steel, came over.

"Fred Jones?" He asked, and Fred nodded, "Your under arrest, for injuring Jasmine Stone and killing her brother. Not saying anything now may help your defence, as everything you tell us will be said in court." Fred almost choked as Officer Steel led him away.

When they got to the station, Fred's body was shaking. Daphne could be taking her last breath, and he wouldn't be there to see her.

"Mr Jones, we need to know exactly what happened."

"Ok. But quickly, I want to get back to Daphne. Scooby, our group's dog, was in the park. He saw Daphne crying, and Mikey, the man she was dating, was pointing a gun at her back. Scooby followed the car they were travelling in, to Mikey's flat. When they arrived, he attacked her, and Scooby came to my house to tell me. I drove over to there, and saw what was going on. I went in and he tied my hands up with rope. He was going to shoot Daphne, but the gun backfired. He died. His sister, Jasmine came in and blamed us for his death. We've had problems with Jasmine for a long time now."

"Why didn't you report this?"

"We're in high school. She was just a bully, but now she's more. Like a threat."

"Right, ok. Thankyou for your information, Mr Jones. You will be escorted to a cell until Miss Blake awakens, and gives us a statement with the same sort of story as yours. Then she can come get you."

"What if she doesn't wake up?"

"We have a lie detector test."

"Ok. Please wake up Daphne," Fred chanted to himself.

Meanwhile, Daphne's condition was growing worse. Her breathing was decreasing rapidly, and the doctors were using the electric pedals to try to save her.

"We're losing her!'' a nurse cried desperatly.

"Rise to 180!" another yelled.

"Time of death, 16:09,"The doctor said sadly.

Velma and Shaggy were outside the room, and they heard everything. They were so shocked. Shaggy wrapped his arm around Velma, and Scooby whined between their legs. But something miraculous happened at that moment. Daphne felt herself waking up, seeing a bright shade of white.

"She's alive!" The doctor gasped. But a message had already got to Fred, who thought his beloved was dead. An hour later though, they got another message declaring Daphne was fine.

Even though the police had been told not to interview Daphne until she was fully recovered, but of course they didn't listen. Luckily for Fred, her statement was just like his, and they let him go.

"I love you so much, Daphne Blake," He told her,kissing her forehead.

"I love you to, Freddie,"Daphne croaked. The couple were in an awkward embrace, what with Fred standing and Daphne lying down.

"I'm sorry to ruin a romantic time, but we have some bad news. Jasmine Stone has disappeared."

Dun dun dun! Lol. This chapter was alot of dialogue, sorry. Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for reading!
