Sarah126: thanks :)
yeah, right, but as I wrote earlier: They're probably also under Enrico's wings!
so it wasn't difficult for him to find something out, above all Dally's huge record ;)
he would like with whom he has something to do
22. Two are one too much!
"Nope! Not this way, Enrico! Ya had reckoned without us!" Patrick shouted and rushed with a yell at Enrico.
"No, Patrick, don't!" Johnny shouted behind him.
Patrick threw the surprised Enrico to the ground and so he freed Ponyboy, who got to safety quickly, while the both fight heavily with each other.
There the others also got active: they rushed to the companions.
Dally took one of them to task by himself, while the others turned with 2 or 3 at a time to one of the men and fought with them.
For Anna, who fought with her sister with one of the men, was this great fun. She still was too young to understand that this case wasn't a game by any means!
But a fight of life and death!
The young ones fought so harsh with the men so that these suffered great wounds and gradually gave up.
"That can't be true! They make off, they really make off!" Ricky was glad about that fact and sneered.
In the meantime Enrico and Patrick still fought dogged with each other.
"Ya murderer! Ya killed my poor little sister!
Ya beast of prey! I wanna show ya!
Ya shall perish in the same way as my sister!
Ya shall suffer and pay for her death!" Patrick grumbled.
"Try it, ya small gnome! Firstly ya don't have any courage and secondly no strength to kill me!" Enrico meant scornful.
"Oh ya bet! I've 'em enough, you're gonna see!"
But there Enrico pushed with his blade. Patrick screamed for pain. He reached for his belly and looked at his bloodstained hands.
"Ya... injured me!" Patrick stated mad. "Ya ain't gonna do that once more!"
Patrick grasped at the blade and rammed it in the middle of Enrico's body. This one looked at him shocked, reached for the blade and would pull it out of the heavy bleeding wound. But he didn't have the strength for it any more. He sank to the ground and fell straight on the blade, so that this only entered further into his body. He only groaned once more shortly furious and died right away.
"Oh my god, Patrick!" Johnny shouted, ran to him and bent over Patrick, who lay on the ground.
"Oh... Is it over?" he groaned.
"Please, don't talk so much!" Johnny admonished him.
The others still fought with the men, which still were there, until those also gave it up and ran away as well. There the others were glad, but when they Johnny saw kneeling beside the wounded Patrick they came to them.
"Please help him! Do somethin'..." Johnny said with tears in the eyes.
Thomas, who woke up at first, ran away to call an ambulance.
Isabell kneeled next to Johnny and examined Patrick carefully.
Pony stepped behind Johnny and placed a hand on his shoulder.
Isabell looked up and shook slowly her head, but so that Johnny didn't get it. Natalie covered her mouth with her hand to avoid crying out laud. Ricky bit on his lip to avoid the same reaction. Dally swore quietly and turned away.
Patrick looked at Johnny and said with great trouble, "Johnny, please promise me that you're gonna go with ya buddies into ya previous life!
Believe me, it's the best when ya live on with 'em, 'cause this here ain't ya world...
But promise me that you're always gonna remember this time here with us and never ever forget it...
And ya, Pony, take care of him for me or else I'm gonna skin ya by myself, got it?
Isabell, please care 'bout the others! They need someone. And ya wanna lead 'em very good, I'm sure! You're gonna make it and I'm sorry that I was mean to ya!
I wanna excuse myself once more to ya, Pony and Dally! I really wasn't fair and nice by any means!
I should have known it best that only the friendship counts, but I didn't realize this at first 'cause of my stubbornness...
I'd like to say to y'all that ya really were the best friends ya can imagine at all! Goodbye! We're gonna see us again! I believe on it very strong! But 'til then I really wanna m..."
There Patrick closed his eyes and breathed out for the last time, then he fell asleep for ever!
"Patrick? Patrick! Damn it, open ya eyes! Please! No, ya can't die right now! Ya ain't allowed to! No!" Johnny shouted and shook Patrick.
"Johnny, leave him! He's dead! Come on!" Pony tried to calm him down.
"Oh, Pony, that just ain't fair!" Johnny cried and dropped into Pony's arms.
"I know..." this one said with a voice that was choked with tears.
He held his buddy tight.
"Good gracious! Patrick..." Ricky cried.
Isabell only sat there silently and was unable to speak. But tears ran down her cheeks. Short time later Thomas returned with the ambulance.
"You're too late... too late!" Natalie screamed towards them.
"Oh no... He's dead...?" Thomas stuttered and ran to Patrick.
The paramedics also could only establish death. They covered him up with a cloth and informed a hearse, which also arrived there short time later. The undertaker put with the help of the paramedics Patrick and also Enrico in a coffin and left with the dead bodies.
The others looked behind the ambulance and the hearse for a long time.
