Children of the Blood Diamonds
Chapter 5: How it all Ends Up
(Two Months Later)
Timmy entered school solemnly. So much had happened. Trixie was missing (but believed to be dead), his parents were dead, Wanda was still imprisoned for six months for breaking the contract and trying to save Timmy's parents, Veronica who was with Trixie when she 'disappeared' was in a mental asylum because whatever happened drove her to insanity, A.J. lost his mother, Chad was in a wheel chair as a result of trying to save Tad who's also listed as missing and Timmy's parents were dead. Mrs. Turner had lied about returning the diamond and the ghosts came for her a week after her time was up. Mr. Turner tried to save her and was killed.
Timmy went to his first period class, which was being taught by a mournful Mr. Crocker. Timmy and the rest of the class knew why. Mr. Crocker's mother was also listed as missing nearly a month after buying a diamond bracelet from 'Thompson's Diamonds'. Mr. Crocker no longer obsessed over fairies now. He didn't even seem enthusiastic about giving bad grades anymore.
Mr. William Thompson, owner of 'Thompson's Diamonds' store was gone. The ghosts came for him last and dragged him through the Earth and he screamed all the way down. Unfortunately the angry ghosts also took Fern Dice. But after explaining how she had to sell those diamonds for her uncle to survive. They simply took her gently to the other side. A few days later her body was found lying peacefully on a park bench. It took hours for passersby to realize that she was indeed dead and not just peacefully sleeping in a Kimono that she had secretly put away to be worn for her funeral. It was never figured out how it was put on her and how it had replaced the casual clothes that she had worn when she 'disappeared'. But there were lots of unexplainable things to deal with now. This was the only freaky 'disappearance' before Mr. Thompson being taken that a body was found. A body, which not only didn't, looked harmed in anyway but also looked well and lovingly taken care of.
"Hey A.J.," Timmy whispered to genius friend.
"Hi," A.J. said in a cracked voice, "Chester still has the flu?" he asked.
"Yeah," Timmy responded.
"Is there any particular reason that you chose to live with Chester instead of your relatives in Brightsburg?" A.J. asked and Timmy could pick up that A.J. wondered if Timmy saw Chester as more of his friend than he did A.J.
"To be closer to the both of you," Timmy said to him, "idiot," he added and punched A.J. on the shoulder.
A.J. gave Timmy a dirty look and Timmy wondered if he took it too far. It was the first time he had really tried to be his happy old self. But maybe A.J. wasn't ready to be happy again.
"At least I'm smarter than you," A.J. countered with a sly grin.
Timmy chuckled then started to laugh out. Soon A.J. joined. Then there was more laughter. And soon the entire class was laughing, including Mr. Crocker. But there was a small chuckle that no one noticed. And it came from the green watch on Timmy's hand.
Done
Death's Soulmate: Yes it ended crappy. But at least I didn't use the 'character suddenly woke up and everything was a dream method'. I've read stories that end like that and unless they can give me a good enough reason after I've been led on for chapters, it really pisses me off. But this is done and the laughing at the end simply shows that people are ready to start moving on from the tragedy that's happened. Well it's over, please review and sorry that I couldn't give you a better ending. I had lost inspiration and it was either this or a discontinuation. I didn't want to discontinue so I did this instead. Thank you for reading and remember to review.
