Wakko Runs Away
Chapter 8
The kids who had kidnapped Dot arrived a strange house that looked more like a run-down shack than a house. The kids carried Dot out of the the car and into the house.
The inside of the house looked like a pigsty. Soda bottles all over the place, newspapers torn up and soggy, clothes lying all over the floor.
"This place is dee-sgusting," Dot said upon entering the house. Though Dot was trying to escape the tight grip of the kids carrying her into the house, it was no use. The grip just tightened when they realized she was trying to escape.
"Oh no," the kids holding Dot in a tight grip said. "You're not going anywhere."
By now, Dot realized she had made a huge mistake by leaving Yakko behind. In fact, leaving Yakko turned out to be worse than staying and fighting with him. Of course, the was nothing she could do now. She had been kidnapped and these teenagers wouldn't let her go.
After everything that had happened, Yakko was now starting to blame himself for letting his family fall apart.
First Wakko bailed out for feeling his siblings were mistreating him. Now, Dot was gone too.
As the sun began to set in the sky, Yakko was hoping that he could make things right again and get his brother and sister back.
"Will I ever get Wakko and Dot back again?" Yakko asked to the darkening sky. All Yakko heard was a slight wind blowing, and no answer from the heavens above.
"I only hope they're safe, wherever they are."
As for Wakko, he had already fallen asleep just after sunset.
Still, he couldn't shake the thought of Yakko and Dot and how they might be suffering without him.
"Go away, horrible thoughts!," Wakko said waking up from a dream. It turns out this was only the first of many dreams he had about Yakko and Dot that night.
Minutes after dozing off again, Wakko had a dream of being locked in a prison cell for deserting his brother and sister.
"Where am I?" Wakko asked, realizing he was in chains along the wall.
"You're in jail," said a prison guard, watching him closely. "You've been jailed for neglecting your brother, Yakko, and your sister, Dot.
"WHAT?!," Wakko said surprised and scared. "I can't be put in jail just because I left my family."
"Well, you still did wrong," the prison guard said firmly. "Someone said you abused your brother and sister in an illegal way, and decided that jail time was the best thing for you."
"Please, Mr., let me out!" said Wakko.
"I'm afraid not." said the guard. "I've been told to monitor you carefully so that you don't even think of escaping!"
"But, I haven't done done anything wrong!" Wakko shouted to the guard. "I just left my family." The guard walked away without any of Wakko's pleas to release him.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Wakko shouted, realizing he would be in jail for the rest of his life. Just then, Wakko woke up from his dream.
As bad a situation Wakko was in, Dot was in an even worse situation.
She was being closely watched by the teenagers in the dumpy house they lived in. She couldn't even use the phone to call the police.
"What am I going to do?", Dot thought to herself not being able to fall asleep in her bed. Maybe the kids would somehow fall asleep and she could try to escape or find a phone in the house and call for help.
"Surely they've got to fall asleep sometime," Dot whispered to herself.
Sure enough, after a couple of hours, the kids who were guarding the hallway had fallen asleep and Dot, who was still awake, managed to leave her room and slowly tiptoe her way down the hallway, just so she wouldn't get caught.
Dot scampered back to her room when she saw a light in one of the bedrooms turn on. One of the occupants of the house was heading to the bathroom.
"Does anyone ever fall asleep in this house?," Dot asked herself.
Finally, after everyone is asleep again, Dot tiptoes down the hallway to the living room to find a phone in the house.
Yakko also had a hard time sleeping that night. He still couldn't fathom what might have possibly happened to Wakko and Dot.
Yakko almost wanted to go looking for his brother and sister in the middle of the night, but because it was so dark, he knew he wouldn't be able to see anything in front of him.
Just like Wakko, when Yakko finally fell asleep for a little bit, his dreams weren't very pleasant.
In his dream, Yakko went searching for his brother and sister, but they were nowhere to be found. He was really starting to get worried that maybe they were kidnapped or something similar.
Not long afterward, he saw a horrible, crushing sight. Yakko found both Wakko and Dot, and they were dead; blood gushing out of their bodies. Yakko just totally broke down and cried uncontrollably.
"Why?!", he cried to the sky. "Why did you do this to me?! Why did you take my siblings this way?!"
However, just as abruptly, the sudden 'pain' Yakko was feeling woke him from his dream.
"Wakko?! Dot?!", he said, wondering if his siblings were okay, only to realize he was still alone.
"NOOOOOOOOOO-HO-HOOOOOOO!", Yakko shouted hysterically, realizing that his dream had come true. However, he wouldn't accept defeat so easily.
"No, Yakko!", he said to himself. "Don't think the worst. Your siblings are out there somewhere."
Yakko had already decided that he was going to look left and right for Wakko and Dot. It was still the middle of the night, and his frantic search would have to wait until morning.
That's the end of Chapter 8. No need to worry because Wakko and Dot are still alive. Will Yakko be able to find them? Can Wakko and Dot get out of the predicaments they're in? Find out in the coming chapters.
