The Adventure Continues
(2014 EDITION)
Mid series 2 special episode
Chapter 1
The day was dark and dull. The day was full of harsh rain that could drive a person completely mad with anger for it was the middle of August, and who wants rain in August? It was almost as though someone from the high heavens of planet earth was upset that they could no longer be with the people they love, but just who could that person possibly be?
A car pulled up on the main road just outside a rather big house in a small village in the great big city of Liverpool, and a man gets out of his vehicle there. This man's name is Thomas Clarkson, and this man has just lost his loving son when his loving son was murdered in cold blood by an evil wicked witch here in this village. By the way this village that Tom's in is called Living village. The wicked witch who murdered in cold blood Tom's son Josh is called Shannay Ravens, and she's still out there somewhere lurking in the darkness of this village in this city, just waiting for the right time to murder again.
Tom Clarkson had returned here to Living village in Liverpool city from leaving the city of Newcastle in the North East England. Tom had originally left Liverpool, and temporally moved down to Newcastle with his two new friends Tracy Beaker and Kyle Kevins when he had learned from Tracy that her friend Lily Kettle had been abducted, and Tom had offered to head down to Newcastle to seek out the help of Lily's care worker in Ashdene Ridge house in finding Lily, but however when Tom had arrived in Newcastle from getting a couch with his friends down there, he had learned from his fiancée Rose on a phone call chat that his loving son Josh had only just been killed, and so Tom made a return trip to Liverpool city on the couch that he had just headed down to Newcastle in.
Tom Clarkson heads up the garden path leading away from the main road that he's just parked his car by the side of the road, and he heads up to the black coloured front door of the house. Tom withdraws a key from his brown jacket, and he uses it to unlock the firmly shut door of the house before making his way into his new home.
"Hello! Rose!" Tom calls out to what appears to be an empty house when he makes his way into it.
Tom yawns out in tiredness. He is rather tired now from his rather busy day. Tom has just been down to the funeral service place here in this village, and he had just arranged his son's upcoming funeral service there. Two members of the family that Tom's going to marry into then appear before him on the hallway of the house, and these two people are both Earl and Sambuca Kelly. Tom turns to face them both.
"Hey guys," he says to them both.
Sambuca's in tears of unhappiness.
"Tom he should be here with us," she cries out at the man who is like a father to her in sadness.
Sam's left devastated after the death of her good friend back at Waterloo Road School Josh. Tom takes one look at Sam, and he bursts into tears when he sees her standing before him filled with a broken heart. Earl places his arm lovingly around his little sister Sam to comfort her. Earl kisses his little sister lovingly on her head.
"Come on Sam, can't you see that you're upsetting Tom," he tells her.
Earl takes a look from the devastated Sam to the devastated Tom apologetically.
"Sorry mate," he says to him.
Earl is apologising to Tom for Sambuca being in a little state like this. Tom shakes his head back at Earl.
"No it's fine I understand, your sister has every reason to be upset right now." He tells him.
Tom then holds his arms out to Sambuca, and she then proceeds to hurry lovingly into his arms. Tom holds the little girl who he loves like his very own daughter tightly in his loving embrace.
"Come now my girl it's alright, my son would not wish us to be grieving would he?" Tom questions Sam in a comforting tone.
Tom and Sam share a sad little smile with one another while sharing out their grieve with one another.
Chapter 2
Both Rose Kelly and Chlo Charles are sat down together by the table in their kitchen in their family home in Living village in Liverpool city. Rose is drinking out of a cup of tea while Chlo is drinking from a glass of cold ice tea. Rose takes a sip from her cuppa.
"Rose I'm pleased that Tom has you!" Chlo tells the mother of the rather large Kelly family in a relieved tone.
Chlo is both happy and relieved that the man who is like a father to her Tom was able to find love in his life once again after her mum Izzie died. Tom and Izzie had been completely made for one another, but unfortunately and tragically Izzie had been murdered to death by an evil stone cold killer in the school grounds of the original Waterloo Road School in Rochdale. Rose smiles back at Chlo in response to what she has just told her.
"Believe me love when I tell you that my lot are also pleased that I have him!" Rose tells Chlo.
She gives her a warm hearted smile.
"Please my bridesmaid on my wedding day! I can just see how much my little daughter Sam has come to love you and look up to you! I think that together you and Sambuca would make the perfect pair of bridesmaids that anyone could possibly wish for on their wedding day!" Rose says to Chlo begging her to become her bridesmaid.
Before Rose can say yes however Sambuca storms angrily into her kitchen.
"CHLO!" She screams out in sharp anger as she storms angrily up to her in the kitchen in her home.
Chlo takes a look up at Sam with trouble in her eyes.
"What is it?" She questions her.
Rose smiles up at her youngest child from where she's sitting.
"Sam love everything alright?" Rose asks her teenage daughter.
Sam shakes her head in anger at Chlo.
"Where is it?" She demands an answer sharply from her.
Chlo's troubled.
"Sam you've lost me babe," she tells her friend.
Sambuca folds her arms, and she takes a sharp quick look angrily at Chlo.
"My makeup, where is my makeup?" Sam snaps out at her mate.
Just then Chlo suddenly remembers borrowing without asking her friend's tray of makeup from her room in this house, their home, earlier this morning. Chlo suddenly looks rather ashamed of herself. Sam nods her head.
"Ah yeah about to own up now are we?" She commands an answer firmly from her friend.
Before she can stop herself Sam all of a sudden gives Chlo her loyal friend a good firm hard slap aggressively across the face, and that took Chlo completely by surprise, because she just wasn't expecting to receive that at all.
"SAMBUCA KELLY!" Rose screams out in shock at her only daughter.
Chlo closes her hands firmly into fists, and she rises to her feet up from the chair that she's been sitting on inside the kitchen. Chlo and Sam aggressively stand before one another now. Chlo appears to be rather angry with Sam now, but just as she is about to punch her with her fists she pulls herself back from doing so. Chlo shakes her head in anger at Sam.
"Not worth it! Now I know that this isn't you, I know that normally you would never hurt me, so tell me sis what is up with you!" She demands an answer from her.
Rose is actually surprised now to be hearing Chlo calling her daughter the name sis. Rose is left happy to discover that no matter how she has just attacked her Chlo still sees her attacker Sam as a little sister to her. Sam bursts into tears of sadness.
"I miss Finn!" She weeps out at Chlo in sadness.
Finn Sharkey was the young man who Sambuca dated back when they were at Waterloo Road School in Rochdale together. Finn was Josh's best mate back at Waterloo Road. Chlo pulls Sam into a loving hug to comfort her from crying.
Chapter 3
Finn Sharkey makes his way into a local pub near to his flat in Liverpool city. Finn approaches the bar of the pub and he smiles across it at the big fat barman there.
"Hello there I'm looking for someone who told me to meet them in here a lad called Earl Kelly," he tells him.
The barman takes a look back across the bar where he's standing behind at Finn.
"Do one son I'm not here to help you meet your pals!" He snaps out at him sharply and aggressively.
Someone then grabs Finn sharply from behind.
You must be the lad known as Sharkey! The voice of Earl Kelly snaps out loudly from behind him.
Finn and Earl have never ever seen one another before, but Finn just knows straight away that this man who s stood behind him in the pub is the man who he is searching for. Finn turns round on the spot where he's standing on to face the stranger who he's both heard a lot about, and who he is searching for. Finn smiles at Earl setting his eyes upon him for the very first time in his life. Finn never even tried to contact Earl in prison when Sambuca died, because Sambuca always told Finn in a lie that she hated Earl.
"You've found me what do you want?" Finn demands an answer from the stranger to him.
Earl coughs to clear his throat before proceeding to talk back to Sharkey.
"My sister's alive!" Earl informs Finn in a truthful tone just hoping beyond all hope that he'll just simply believe him.
However not surprisingly Finn just doesn't believe what Earl has just told him. Finn rounds in anger on Earl.
"Don't even joke about things like that!" He snaps out at him in a tone of sharp anger.
Finn then tries to storm out of the pub in anger away from Earl. Earl then grabs Finn however firmly by the arm to hold him back before he can go any further away from him. Earl smiles in happiness at Finn.
"Tom Clarkson has also returned to life from the dead, but I'm sorry to say unfortunately his son Josh Stevenson is dead!" He tells him in an honest truthful tone.
Finn refuses to believe that Josh is dead in response to what Earl has just told him, but there's a part of him that really truly wishes to believe that Tom is alive once more. Finn folds his arms.
"Prove this!" He snaps back at Earl in a commanding tone.
Earl then shrugs his shoulders.
"Alright then! Sam told me to use any means necessarily to get you to believe me that she's back from the dead, and so that is exactly what I'm going to do!" Earl yells back at Finn in a snarl.
Earl then grabs a glass bottle that is stood on the bar, and he knocks it roughly into Finn's head. Finn cries out in pain when Earl hits him before falling down unconscious onto the floor of the pub. Earl smiles down at the unconscious Finn who is now laid down before him on the filthy floor of the pub.
"Sorry mate!" He snaps down at him.
The bar man has both seen and witnessed everything that has just gone on between both lads Earl and Finn in his pub, and he now shakes his head in disgust and anger at Earl.
"Get out son you're banned!" The bar man shouts out in great disgust at the Kelly boy.
Earl ignores the bar man, he picks Finn's unconscious body up off the floor of the pub, and he exists the bar with him.
Chapter 4
Tom Clarkson makes his way into his new bedroom in his new home in Living village in Liverpool city, and there he finds his fiancée Rose looking down at an old photograph of her son Marley and his deceased girlfriend Flick. Rose doesn't look up when Tom makes his way into their shared room together.
"Sam and Chlo sorted out their differences then?" Thomas questions his future wife.
Tom has now heard the situation that went on between both young ladies in the kitchen off his home while he was in the sitting room telling Earl to go off and find Finn Sharkey. Rose doesn't respond to what Tom has just told her.
"They should be with us!" She tells him simply while continuing to view the photograph that remains in her hand.
Tom smiles in sadness over at Rose.
"There have certainly been a lot of deaths in this village, maybe we were wrong to move down here!" He snaps out at her quickly.
Rose takes a look back at Thomas in response to what he has just told her with her eyes filled with tears like how both his and her daughter's were earlier.
"Yeah we were certainly wrong to move down here Tom! This village is cursed! This city is damned! This world is doomed!" Rose tells her future husband simply in response to what he has just said to her.
Flick has just been murdered in cold blood a short time ago now by an evil wicked witch known as Morgana Pendragon. Tom bursts into tears of sadness.
"How's Marley? How's his solitude in the Lake District going?" He questions Rose in a tone of concern.
Marley was to marry Flick the love of his life before she died. Tom personally believes that a little time on his home away from his family is the best thing for Marley right now. Rose continues to cry both harder and louder in response to Tom's question to her.
"I wish he was here with us! OH TOM HOW COULD ALL THIS HAVE HAPPENED!" She wails out at the top of her devastated voice.
Tom sits down beside Rose on their bed, and he pulls her into a loving embrace to comfort her.
Chapter 5
Finn Sharkey struggles to open his eyes. The happy smiling face of his former girlfriend Sambuca Kelly is there to greet him in this unfamiliar room when he opens his eyes with great struggle. Sam appears to be stroking Finn's hair.
"Hello again old friend and here we are you and me reunited once more!" Sambuca tells her man.
Finn can feel pain coming from his really swore and damaged head. That's what it took for Earl Kelly to prove to him that his girl was back a dented head wound. Finn shakes his head in anger at Sam.
"Your bloody brother!" He snaps out at her in a yell.
Sam laughs out in response to what Finn has just told her in happiness. Sambuca hasn't felt this delighted in a long time. Finally luck had come to her once more with being reunited with her man like this. Sam kisses Finn lovingly on his forehead far away from where the serious wound is on his head. Finn is really confused right now.
"I don't know whether I'm happy right now, you see love I moved on from you when you died after suffering over the death of you for such a long time. I'm a married man now Sam. I love you but, and I probably always will, but I think that the real reason why I didn't believe your brother is that to be honest I was hoping that this wasn't true sweetheart. I wish that you were dead and gone for good, because my life is such a mess now that your back. I'm married to a girl called Trudi," Sharkey confesses to his old lover Kelly.
In response to hearing what Finn has just told her Sam just simply hurries as fast as she can out of her sitting room crying her eyes out once more. Tom Clarkson makes his way into the sitting room. Tom takes a look with both happiness but also with concern down at the young lad who is laid down on the sofa wounded before him.
"Finn! At last we meet again! How are you? Well don't answer that stupid question I can just see that you're not great right now. What I meant to say was how were you before you came across Earl Kelly in the bar with a fierce bottle in his hand?" Clarkson questions Sharkey.
Finn's troubled.
"Oh you and all are back from the dead, how is this all even possible? How are you and Sambuca back? Don't get me wrong it's rather nice to see you both, but I thought that if someone died they stayed dead!" He tells his former English teacher.
Tom smiles down at Finn.
"Josh is dead! Mostly when people die they stay dead, but not always, because you see mate there's this rather peculiar waterfall in the Caribbean islands that has the power to bring a man back to life from his grave!" He informs him in an explaining tone.
Sambuca the blonde haired Irish girl leads this black haired Muslim girl into the sitting room in her family home all of a sudden.
"Trudi!" Finn cries out in shock but also in happiness when he finds his wife standing before him in the living room of this strange haunted house which is full of ghosts to him.
Trudi rounds on Sam.
"Leave us now please!" She commands her.
After telling her that he had a wife Sambuca got on the phone to Finn's wife Trudi after finding their house phone number on Finn's mobile phone, and Sambuca explained on the phone call to Trudi where Finn was, and that he was wounded. Sam rounds on Trudi.
"You better take good care of him or else you'll have me to answer to!" Kelly warns Siddiqui.
Finn takes a look from one woman he loves to the other one who he loves completely lost for words now. Tom rounds on Trudi.
"Just remember that there'll always be a place in his heart for Sambuca!" He shouts out at her.
Tom then places his arm gently around Sam, and he leads her gently out of the living room.
Chapter 6
Tom Clarkson is now stood before Rose, Earl, Sambuca, Denzel and Prince Kelly in the kitchen in their family home together. Tom takes a look from Sam to Rose.
"Finn is going to have to stay here until he's feeling better!" He explains to them both.
Tom knows that Finn's too unwell to be moved right now to be transferred from this house to his house. Tom rounds in anger on Earl.
"You could have killed him you stupid little boy, and just as I thought you'd started to change!" He snarls out at him.
Sam rounds on Tom.
"Don't give him a hard time!" She instructs him.
Sambuca then takes a look at her big brother.
"I wish that you had killed him Earl it would have saved me from being embarrassed like that!" She tells him.
Off course Sambuca hasn't meant what she has just said, but she is rather outraged with the situation at hand. Sam is planning on not going into the sitting room very often over the next couple of weeks that follow on from now. Really Sambuca can't blame Finn from moving on from their relationship after she died, because after all back before she died as a result of her cancer disease Sambuca told Finn to move on from her, and to continue to be happy, but that was back when she didn't believe at all that she would be coming back to him. Tom exchanges awkward looks with Rose, and they tell one another with that look not to say anything, because it's best not to after all, because if Rose spoke now she would tell her daughter off for saying that she wishes someone dead, and that really wouldn't make the situation any better at all, because then there would be a fall out between both mother and daughter at hand.
Chapter 7
Many weeks passes by, and then finally after a long wait of waiting for Finn Sharkey to recover arrives the day of Josh Stevenson's devastating funeral service in Living village. A great big black wide funeral car pulls up in the graveyard in the village, and Tom Clarkson departs from it there dressed in a dark black smart suit with a black tie and a white shirt on, but he doesn't get out the car alone, he didn't take a ride in it alone, no Rose, Earl, Sambuca, Denzel and Prince all depart from the car too. Both Rose and Sam are dressed in black dresses while the three Kelly boys are dressed in smart black suits that all look very much like Tom's. Another big black car which actually looks more like a van, because of the actual size of it pulls up behind the car that both Tom and the Kelly family have just arrived in the graveyard in. Finn Sharkey who is dressed in a dark black suit, with a dark black tie, a crisp white shirt and a white bandage wrapped securely round his head gets out of the van along with Trudi who like both Sam and Rose is dressed in a dark black dress. Trudi is hand and hand with her loving husband Finn, and this is just a sight that Sam really didn't need to see with her own two eyes today. Sambuca is still feeling incredibly jealous of Trudi, and she is actually starting to hate her a little bit. Both Chlo and her husband Donte Charles get out of the van together. Chlo like the other girls is dressed in a dark dress, and Donte is dressed like the other men in a dark suit. Both Donte and Chlo have left their little daughter Izzie with her childminder in their flat in Liverpool city.
Some men dressed in black suits with dark black sun glasses on their heads carry the coven that Josh Stevenson's dead body is laid down in up to where Tom Clarkson is stood in the graveyard. Grave stones line every single part of this graveyard. Some workers in the cemetery have dug up a space in the ground where Josh's coven can be lowered down into. Josh's friends and family gather before his dad here today of the day of his funeral in the little graveyard in Living village. Tom is holding a piece of paper firmly in his hand. He wipes some tears of sadness away from his eyes. Tom takes a deep breath.
"Oh! Josh! I just wish that you were here with us all here with all your loyal friends and family today-
Tom stops doing his speech about his deceased son who he loved when he was alive very much for a moment, when a black land rover pulls up just a short distance from where both he himself and everyone else is stood in the graveyard, and Josh's former headteacher back at Waterloo Road departs from the vehicle inside the cemetery. Michael Byrne has arrived at the funeral to pay his respects to his loved and deceased former student Josh. Tom takes a look over at his old boss. Both Tom and Michael smile at one another before Thomas proceeds with saying his speech.
"I know that you'll be watching down on us all now from somewhere. Maybe however you won't be gone for good. Maybe my lad you'll find a way of coming back to us all just like how I myself did come back to you in the end." Tom says through sadness.
Tom then grabs up a spade from the ground that has been sunk deep into a pile of soil that is next to him in the cemetery. Tom lifts up a pile of soil onto the spade, and he throws it down onto where his son's coven is now laid down in the rather deep hole. Tom hands the spade over to Finn Sharkey who has wandered up to him to retrieve the gardening tool from him. Finn like how Tom has only just done also lifts up a small pile of soil onto his spade, and he tucks it down into the hole, and it lands on top of his best mate's coven down there. After Finn has done what he needed to do with the spade he passes it over to Michael. Michael hauls a pile of soil that he has just dug up onto his spade down onto join the small pile of soil that is now laid upon Josh's coven. Michael hands the spade over to Sambuca. Sambuca does the same as what Michael has just done before handing the spade over to Chlo who then uses it before handing it over to her sister Mika. Everyone helps to fill the hole that Josh's coven has now been placed down in. All the while Tom cries out in sadness while his son's hole gets filled in with soil.
Finn goes to stand next to Trudi his wife, but Sam also goes to stand over by them. Finn rounds on Sam.
"Look I don't want any trouble here, not today, so just get lost will you!" He tells her through tears of graveness.
Actually Sam just came over here to stand by Finn, because she is aware of just how unhappy he must be feeling right now, and so she just wanted to offer her support to him, but now because of what he has just told her Sam storms angrily away from Finn. Trudi takes a look at her husband.
"Let's go home!" She says to him.
Finn nods his head in response to what Trudi has just said to him. Finn links arms with Trudi, and he walks away from where Josh has just been buried with her by his side. Tom watches as Finn walks away from where Josh has just been both laid down and buried in. Tom wishes that Finn was with Sam instead of him being with Trudi.
"Tom sorry how I was late!" Michael apologises to his old friend as he comes over to stand by him in the graveyard.
Tom takes a look back at Michael.
"Ah it's fine mate thanks for coming," he tells him.
Michael pulls Tom into a little hug of friendship, and Tom then proceeds to cry silently in sadness into Michael's open arms.
"Heard from Tracy Beaker since Josh was killed? Did you invite her here today to the funeral?" Byrne questions Clarkson out of curiosity.
Both Tom and Michael release one another from the hug that they have just shared out with one another. Tom shakes his head at Michael.
"I decided just not to invite Tracy to Josh's funeral service, because she's really stressed out right now just wherever she is, because Lily Kettle, you know Tracy's friend was kidnapped, and so therefore Tracy set out to rescue her along with both me and this man called Kyle Kevins, and when we reached the city of Newcastle in Tyne and Wear I received a phone call from Rose letting me know that Josh had been killed!" He tells him in an explaining tone.
Michael folds his arms, and he shakes his head in sorrow.
"Ah Tracy and Josh couldn't have their happy ending after all!" Byrne snaps out in a tone of sharp anger.
Tom smiles in sadness as he rounds on Michael.
"No Tracy couldn't have a happy ever after with Josh, but however you once loved her, and I'm hoping that you still do, and Michael I'm sorry to say this but with Josh gone Tracy's heart will be empty, and no one should have an empty heart! Go out there and find her my main man! Go out there and bring love back into the Beaker's heart!" He tells him trying to persuade him to go and find Tracy.
There's a short moment of silence while Michael considers what Tom has just told him. However after standing there thinking about both the love and life that they could have together Michael shakes his head back at Tom.
"No Tom! I'm not going to go after Tracy! I'm going to let her go! Tracy deserves better than me, and it's up to her if she wants to love again!" He says to him.
Michael nods his head back at Tom.
"My apologises for your loss once again! Goodbye now old friend! Farewell forever!" He tells him.
Tom shakes his head back at Michael.
"It's not goodbye surely Mr Byrne," he says to him refusing to believe that he'll never see him again.
Michael places his hand firmly on Tom's shoulder.
"It's time for me to disappear now old friend for my work with you is done," he informs him.
Michael takes one last look at Tom before heading off back to his truck.
Chapter 8
Thomas Clarkson comes hurrying into the garden in his home in Living village, and there he finds Finn Sharkey waiting for him. Tom takes one look at Finn.
"I'd go if I was you before Sam catches you!" He warns him in a sharp snappy tone.
Finn shakes his head as he rounds on Tom.
"Josh wouldn't have wanted this me not talking to either you or Sam!" He tells him.
Tom nods his head as he shrugs his shoulders in response to what Finn has just told him.
"Yeah mate fair one. Come inside son and I'll get you a beer!" Tom says to Finn as he leads him back into his home.
Entering the kitchen in the house both Tom and Finn find the room empty and the table deserted. Tom takes a look back at Finn.
"I say that we have half an hour in here before Rose starts cooking dinner!" He tells him.
Tom gestures Finn to take a seat down by the table in the room, and after Finn does so Tom goes to collect two bottles of cold beers from the fridge in the kitchen. Tom collects the bottles from the kitchen fridge, and he returns to the table to take a seat down beside Finn there. Tom uses a bottle opener to open both bottles.
"You do know that I can just open them with my teeth!" Finn tells his old friend.
Tom shakes his head in disgust at Finn.
"Shut up Sharkey!" He laughs jokingly.
Finn's troubled.
"You the only one in the house?" He questions Tom.
Mr Clarkson then nods his head in response to Mr Sharkey's question to him.
"Yeah Earl's popped into Liverpool city for a night out with Den, Prince has gone to meet some new friends and Rose and Sam have gone shopping together, but Rose will be back in half an hour or so to start making tea!" He tells him in response to his question to him.
Finn is happy to learn that it's just him alone here with Tom in the house, because he wants to have a serious conversation with him man to man. Finn shakes his head in anger at Tom.
"I've got myself into such a right mess here mate!" He snaps out angrily at him.
Tom shrugs his shoulders as he takes a seat further back into his chair, and he folds his arms as he continues to face Sharkey.
"I can only begin to imagine the hell that you must be facing! Sam still loves you Finn, and she understands that you needed to move on and find love again in your life after she died, but it still isn't easy for her facing you every single day, and knowing that you're a married man when you should still be her man." Tom tells Finn.
Finn takes a sip from his bottle of beer.
"Is life always this hard?" He questions his old mentor.
Tom smiles in response to his former pupil's question to him.
"Only when you care about the people who you really love!" Tom tells Finn in response to his question.
He continues to smile at him.
"You and Sam will learn to be in one another's lives again!" Tom promises Finn.
Tom raises his bottle of beer high in the air by using his hand to hold it.
"To Josh!" Tom cries out as he proceeds to down the rest of his drink in one gulp.
Finn nods his head back at Tom in response to his cry.
"I'll drink to that," he tells him in response to his cry as he too proceeds to down the rest of his drink in one gulp.
Suddenly out of absolutely nowhere a brown skinned lady appears in the kitchen sat down by the table there before both Finn and Tom. Tom takes a look at the lady.
"Shannay Ravens!" He snaps out in both anger and shock at her.
Shannay smiles back coldly at Tom across the kitchen table in his home.
"Sorry I couldn't make the funeral, but I really didn't know how to face everyone after all I was to blame for this all happening! Oh Tom I wish I could tell you just how sorry I am, but unfortunately I'm just not! I'm not sorry in the absolute slightest for the pain I have caused for killing your son!" The wicked witch yells coldly across the table at Mr Clarkson.
Tom jumps to his feet from the wooden hard back chair that he's been sitting on. Tom then slams his hand down hard onto the kitchen table.
"LEAVE NOW!" Tom thunders out at Shannay in a tone of aggressive anger.
Shannay also rises to her feet up from the chair that she's been sitting on in the kitchen, and she rounds in anger on Tom. Finn has also risen to his feet up from the chair that he's been sitting on, and he now stands by Tom's side ready to give his life to protect him in the room. Tom closes his hands firmly into fists.
"SHANNAY!" He roars out in a tone of hatred.
Shannay winks her eye back coldly at Tom.
"TOM!" She yells back at him.
Shannay laughs coldly at Finn.
"Oh stand aside boy for you cannot protect that man from the raft of my anger! He's mine to kill, and there's nothing a weak little school boy such as yourself can do to stop me!" She shouts out at him in a warning tone.
Finn is however still prepared to protect Tom from Shannay at all costs, but suddenly Tom pushes Finn roughly out the way of him.
"Get out of my way Sharkey let me at her!" Clarkson snaps out at the young man who was willing to put his life on the line to defend him from his new enemy.
Tom launches himself across the kitchen at Shannay jumping himself up onto the kitchen table in the process. There's an empty bottle of beer stood on the table, and Tom kicks this flying across the room at Shannay, but however Shannay who has magical powers uses her magic to make the glass bottle disappear before it hits her hard in her chest. Shannay also jumps up onto the kitchen table. Shannay and Tom are now stood directly before one another on the kitchen table. Clarkson however towers over Ravens.
"I THOUGHT YOUR FIGHT WAS WITH LILY KETTLE AND NOT WITH MY SON JOSH! WHY DID YOU NEED TO KILL JOSH WHEN YOU WERE AFTER THAT KETTLE GIRL?" Tom bellows out at the lady who is just stood before him on the kitchen table in a tone of sadness.
Finn has now sprinted across the room towards the direction of the house phone that is in the room. Finn picks the phone up, and he begins to dial 999 on it, but however Shannay uses her powers to make the phone disappear vanishing out of Finn's hand before he can call them. Shannay takes a look over at Finn, and she shakes her head across the room at him.
"No point in calling them boy for even if they come they won't be able to stop me from committing the murder that I have planned to come here today to commit!" Shannay snarls across the room at Finn from where she's stood on the kitchen table.
Tom is looking quite concerned now.
"So you really have come here to kill me haven't you?" He shouts out at Shannay aggressively.
Shannay then slaps Tom full on in the face in anger.
"Not you I'm not pleased to say hunny bunny but your little brat Sambuca!" She yells out at him.
Finn can't control himself now he picks a knife up from the kitchen bench, and he charges across the room with it held firmly in his hand, and he launches himself up onto the kitchen table. Finn shoots forward in his step towards Shannay and he is just about to stab her with his knife when something really unexpected and terrible happens. Shannay uses her dark powers to make Trudi Sharkey Siddiqui suddenly appear out of nowhere just before her in the gap between both herself and Finn, and unfortunately Finn's blade of his sharp knife sinks in deep into Trudi's chest.
"NO!" Finn roars out in terror when he only just realises what he has just done.
Trudi is now dead! Her dead body collapses and falls down from the kitchen table onto the cold wet muddy floor of the room. Shannay then smiles coldly at Finn as she grabs him firmly by the throat.
"I bring death along in my path!" She tells him the truth.
Shannay then vanishes off the kitchen table and disappears out of both the room and the house, just as a mysterious dark figure with a dark black hood on over their head breaks into the room from the kitchen window.
Chapter 9
Finn Sharkey's world has only just ended so it seems with his wife laying dead now in his arms just below the kitchen table in the Kelly family's home in Living village in Liverpool city. Finn is paying absolutely no attention at all to the robber in the room, and he's just leaving him for Tom to deal with. Thomas Clarkson quietly jumps down from the table in his kitchen, and just as he does so the mysterious stranger jumps down from where he is stood in the sink in the kitchen. The stranger can't believe that he's seeing Tom both alive and well here in this unknown house in this village that seems to be cursed before him.
"Mr Clarkson, you're alive, how can this be?" The familiar voice of Kyle Stack speaks out as the voice of the stranger as he stands before Tom in the kitchen in the house.
Kyle like both Finn and Sam is a former student of Tom's, and Tom taught him like the others back at Waterloo Road School in Rochdale. Tom storms quietly over to Kyle in the kitchen in his home, and he pulls the dark hood down from his head. Tom and Kyle set their eyes upon one another.
"Kyle Stack!" Tom and Finn shout out together.
Only now is Finn suddenly interested in seeing who this thief is. Kyle's two eyes suddenly flash over Finn.
"Shut it Sharkey!" He warns him in a tone of hatred.
Tom takes a look round behind him at Finn.
"Go home and grieve your loss!" He commands him.
Finn takes a look down at Trudi's dead body that is still laid down in his arms. Tears of sadness from Finn's eyes drip down onto his wife's dead body. Kyle takes a look down at his old class mates dead body, and then that reminds him of when he saw Tom's dead body after he had fallen off the school roof last year. Finn takes a look up at Kyle.
"Help me please you have to help me, she can't really be dead, can she?" He begs him.
Tom takes a look behind him once again at Finn, and he realises there and then that Finn needs the help of both he himself and Kyle. Tom then takes a look back at Kyle.
"I know we have things to-
"I'm sorry Mr Clarkson!" Kyle blurts out apologising for the last time they met.
Tom raises his hand to silence Kyle before he can speak again.
"I know we have things to sort out, but we both need to come together right now to help Finn!" He tells him.
Tom turns back to face Finn.
"Sorry mate she is really dead!" He apologises to him.
Kyle shakes his head in disbelief at Tom.
"How is this even possible?" He questions him.
Tom turns back to face Kyle.
"Well there is really only one answer to why I was able to return from the dead isn't there Stack, and that is by the power of magic!" He tells him simply.
Tom then turns back to face Finn.
"I came back to life by the power of magic, and if magic could bring me back to life from the dead then it might also to bring Trudi, Josh and Flick back!" He promises him.
Tom believes that anything is possible, and that if he himself could return to life from the dead then there's a big fat chance that his friends could do the same.
Chapter 10
Tom Clarkson is now sat in the pub in Living village with his former pupil Kyle Stack. Tom has ordered both himself and Kyle a beer each from the barman in the pub. Tom smiles across the table that he's sitting by at Kyle.
"What happened to me, how I fell from the school roof, it wasn't your fault Kyle you do know that don't you?" He questions him while trying to promise him that it wasn't his fault for how he died last year for a short time.
The barman returns to the table with the two bottles of beer, and he hands them over to both Tom and Kyle. Kyle takes a sip from his own bottle of beer before confessing something up to Tom.
"I could have done more to help you, and I blamed myself for losing you!" Stack confesses to Clarkson.
Tom smiles in sadness at Kyle.
"Some things happen for a reason, and if I hadn't died then I wouldn't have returned from the dead, and then I wouldn't have found Rose, and I wouldn't have fallen in love with her once again!" He explains to him.
Tom takes a drink from his bottle of beer.
"I told Christine that it wasn't your fault for how I died, what happened to you after I died?" He questions his former pupil.
It seems to Tom now that after he died Kyle reverted back into his old ways.
"I left the school on my first day there shortly after you had died, and then I started a life of thievery! Robbing things for myself from convenient stalls and supermarkets I did!" Stack confesses to Clarkson and owns up for his life of crime to him.
Tom shakes his head in shame.
"I should have stayed there alive at the school to make sure that you had a safe future free of crime!" He tells Kyle.
Clarkson laughs.
"I blame your mum for how you turned out a lost hopeless case, that's what you are Kyle unfortunately, and thanks to me for dying you have no safe future, and you deserve to rot in hell!" He snaps out at Stack before he can stop himself.
Kyle glares across the table in anger at Tom.
"I missed you!" He snaps out sharply at him.
Tom finishes his beer.
"You need help Kyle, things don't go right for you, and they really need to start doing so! Come back to the Kelly's with me, and stay with us for a while until you're on your feet!" He commands his former pupil.
Tom finishes his beer and he is just about to take Kyle home with him when all of a sudden police officers storm angrily into the pub. The police officers are all armed with guns. People in the pub are now all started to panic. Kyle takes a quick look over at Tom.
"Oh no they're looking for me!" He snaps out at him both sharply and quickly.
All of a sudden Tom rounds on Kyle.
"WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE BOY?" He rages out at him in anger.
Kyle grabs Tom firmly by the arm.
"Killed me mum!" He snarls deep into his ear.
Kyle has now caused attention to himself inside the pub, and now the police officer's hurry up to him. They grab him, and they force a pair of handcuffs firmly onto his wrists.
"Kyle Stack we're arresting you on suspicion of murder! You do not need to say anything, but it may harmed your defence if you do not say something now that you later relay on in court!" A leading police officer informs Kyle in a sharp tone as he leads him off out of the pub.
Tom is left absolutely bewildered by the events that have just occurred.
Chapter 11
Sambuca Kelly hurries up to a block of flats in Living village in Liverpool city. This is the only block of flats that are here in this village in this city. Sam makes her way unwelcomingly into the block of flats, and she hurries up flights upon flights of stairs until she reaches a flat that she knows to be her former boyfriend's. Sambuca stands outside Finn Sharkey's flat knocking loudly on the door of his flat. A few minutes later Finn answers the door of his flat to find his one true love standing there facing him. Finn looks at Sam his girl neither smiling nor glaring at her.
"I knew it would be you," Finn says simply to Sambuca.
Sam folds her arms as she bursts on past Finn into his flat.
"Yeah well who else would it be!" Sambuca calls out to Finn from quite deep into his flat now.
Finn makes his way into this flat closing the front door of it behind him.
"What do you want?" Finn questions Sam as he takes a seat down on a chair in his flat facing her.
Sam continues to fold her arms, and she smiles back in sadness at Finn.
"Sorry to hear about the death of Trudi! I've come here to offer you my support and to see how you are!" Miss Kelly tells Mr Sharkey in response to his question to her.
Finn folds his arms, and he takes a look back across his flat at Sambuca.
"A little warning to you mate Shannay's planning on killing you next!" Finn snaps out sharply at her.
Sam takes a seat down on a chair opposite to Finn in his flat.
"Nice to see just how concerned you are about me then!" Sam yells out angrily at Finn.
Finn smiles back in sadness at Sambuca.
"I'm so sorry for everything love! I do really love you, but I will really miss Trudi! Sam come back into my life I can't be without you now!" He tells her while begging her to stay with him.
Sam smiles back lovingly at Finn in response to his words to her.
"Yeah well I am in your life now forever!" She tells him in response to his words to her.
What she has just told him puts a loving happy smile onto Finn's face. Finn grabs a ring of the chair. The ring came with the chair. He sinks down onto the floor of his flat just before where Sambuca is sitting on her chair. Finn takes a look lovingly up at the love of his life.
"Sam will you marry me?" He questions her.
Sam takes a look from Finn's happy smiling face to the golden ring in his hand. Sam grabs Finn, she pulls him into a loving embrace, and she shares a kiss of true love with him on the lips.
"Oh yes! Oh yes I shall be your wife both from now and ever more!" Sambuca tells Finn in response to his question to her.
They then share a loving kiss together on the lips.
"I will protect you from Shannay!" Finn makes a vow to Sam.
Likewise Sam will always protect Finn from the enemies that they may create throughout their lives together.
Chapter 12
Tom Clarkson and Rose Kelly are sat in a bus heading into Liverpool city together. They are sat downstairs in the double-decker bus. They are sat side by side on the bus together.
"So what they just arrested him right before your very eyes?" Rose questions Tom after he has been telling her most of the bus journey so far all about Kyle.
Tom nods his head in response to Rose's question to him.
"Oh yeah it was madness, poor kid, he'll be locked up inside a dirty little prison cell right now he will." He tells her in response to her question to him.
Tom is done now talking about Kyle, and there is another person who he would really like to talk to Rose about. Tom takes a look beside him at Rose.
"As you know Shannay paid me a visit earlier, and she killed a former pupil of mine Trudi Siddiqui! Rose I want to hunt the lady who killed my son down, and I wish to kill her!" He tells her truthfully.
Rose is left shocked, but she also knows that she shouldn't really be shocked for knowing why Tom wishes to kill Shannay. Rose shakes her head at Tom.
"I can't let you kill her, because despite the fact that she has just killed Josh you would never forgive yourself if you were to kill her!" She says to him.
Tom folds his arms in anger at Rose for trying to talk him out of wishing to kill Shannay.
"Yeah well instead I'll do a you and get all the help I need from the drink!" Clarkson snaps out in a tone of anger at his fiancée'.
The bus pulls into Liverpool city now, and pretty soon in the very heart of the city where all the buzz is both Tom and Rose make their way off the bus. Tom and Rose head down the street after saying thank you to the driver for driving them their hand in hand. At the bottom of the street Tom and Rose have no other choice to turn up into a dark alley, because the place where they wish to head to in this city is just a little way up past this dark alley. The alley is so dark that neither Tom nor Rose can see one another.
"ROSE!" Tom suddenly thunders out after he hears her both scream out in the pain of death and fall like a cushion onto the dirty horrible path of the dark alley.
A rather dim light then lits up suddenly shining light into the alley. Tom can see now Rose laying dead on the hard concrete ground of the alley just beside none other than Shannay Ravens. A knife has been sunk deep into Rose's chest from Shannay. This must be the exact same knife that Finn accidently killed his lover Trudi with. Rose Kelly is now dead unfortunately. Tom can't control himself now, not even if he wanted to, because he just needs to let all of his anger out of his system now that has been boiling up inside of him.
"SHANNAY! BLOODY COLD HEARTED EVIL BITCH! YOU KILLED THEM! YOU KILLED MY SON AND NOW YOU'VE KILLED MY FINACEE'!" Tom rages out like a deadly storm at the woman who took his loved ones away from him.
Shannay now uses her powers to make both Sambuca and Finn appear out of nowhere in the dimly lit up alleyway just before herself and Tom. Sambuca screams out in terror when her eyes set upon her mother's dead body on the ground just before her feet. Sam sinks down just beside Rose's dead body, and she now begins to break her heart next to it. Shannay laughs coldly at the sight of the young lady crying over the death of her precious mum.
"I'm going to send you somewhere Mr Thomas Clarkson along with your two children over here to a never ending world! I'm going to send both you and your two companions over here on a enchanted world known only as Mzzuan, and it's only fair that I warn both you and your students that once you step foot in it you can never ever leave it!" Shannay warns Tom.
Clarkson shakes his head in anger at Ravens as he rounds in anger on her.
"You're not going to be sending us anywhere, because actually I'm going to be the one sending you somewhere, and that is straight to prison! Shannay you need to be locked up inside it's the best place for you I'm afraid!" He snarls out at her releasing his anger out on her once again.
Finn takes Sam lovingly by the hand, and he guides her away from her mother's dead body. Finn now stands beside Tom acing Shannay with his arm lovingly placed around Sam who is stood by his side. Suddenly out of nowhere Tom, Sam and Finn all vanish off the street as if by magic, and they all appear out of nowhere in a red hot desert. Actually there stood on a mountain top in a desert. Tom can feel the heat from the red hot powerful sun in the sky burning onto his skin.
"Where am I?" Tom calls out.
He takes a look beside him at both Finn and Sam who have fallen onto the ground of the hard desert mountain that is made up out of both clay and rocks. Sam has her head rested on Finn's leg, and Finn is hugging Sam lovingly once again.
"My mum! Oh my mum!" Sam keeps weeping out in sadness at Finn.
It would seem that Tom Clarkson, Finn Sharkey and Sambuca Kelly are all stuck now in the never ending maze of Mzzuan.
