Chapter 2
"How it Began"
Hey guys,I hope you enjoy my last Chapter. I know it was really, really short, but that's because it was supposed to let you know what's going on… Anyways enjoy and I hope you like it .
"Come-on guys, can't we all just get along." Ricky said, trying to cool his friends down long enough to say something.
"Shut up Ricky! We all know you want the treasure as much as anyone else here so quit the act!" Cassidy snapped at Ricky, who was holding on to the last piece of the disk. Brad came up behind him and snatched the piece out of his hand, infuriating Ricky.
"Give it. I found that piece and you know it…" Ricky smiled, "Fredrick."
"Don't you dare call me that again, Ricky! You know how much I hate that name." Brad shouted at Ricky who looked ready for a fight.
"Oh grow up will ya. It's your name, Fred, whether you like it or not." Cassidy said annoyed with this stupid fight. "And Judy." Cassidy said, looking at the blond who was holding her boyfriend's arm. "Your family is rich enough; you don't need any more money. I know you're just trying to get the money for Fredbut he can handle himself."
"My family isn't that rich, Cassidy. We make about as much money as you so how about you shut yourself up." Judy said, tired of Cassidy thinking her family is the richest people in Crystal Cove just cause we got a little money to spend. "And I'm the only one allowed to call him Fred!" Judy snapped back.
"Besides, my family won't let me have any of it because…." She trailed off, looking at Fred. Deciding whether or not to tell them, if they deserved to know. "Because…." Fred started looking at her and shook his head, yes.
"Because of what! Why wouldn't your rich parent let you have any mon….."
"Because I'm marrying Fred, that's why! Fred proposed to me last week, before we found the last piece and I said yes, so there. Now you guys know." Judy said, at last then ran out of the room with Fred's hand in hers. Leaving the others alone, dumbfounded.
Fred and Judy left the rest of the gang. They drove off to Fred's house and went straight to his room. Judy went to one of Fred's dressers and underneath some of his clothes, got the black, leather sack and took it to Fred's bed. They open the sack and revealed five of the Planiferic disk pieces. They put the five pieces of the disk together. When they were done, they added the last and final piece... It fit.
"Ha ha! I guess Ricky really did find the last piece, and we all thought he made it himself." Fred laughed, hugging Judy who was just as excided, but had a concerned look on her face.
"What's wrong, Judy?" Fred asked, puzzled. "I thought you would be happy."
"I am, but I think we should wait before we go looking for the treasure. You know, when we might need it…" Judy trailed off a little, but meant what she said. Fred could tell she meant it as well.
"Why? Judy. We went through too much to just… Just.." Fred trailed off after seeing Judy's eyes. "Oh no Judy, that old 'puppy eyes' trick won't work this time. I'm not waiting another…. Dammit Judy, knock it off will ya. Why should we wait anyways, I thought you would be as excited as I am." Fred said, clearly losing the argument, but curious of what Judy was talking about.
"I am, it's just we don't really need it right now. I'm not saying we'll never find it, it's just…" Judy starting rubbing her stomach, "I can't really do much right now, you know what I'm saying?" Judy started to smile, the type of smile that would melt any guy's heart, but Fred felt like he was having a heart attack.
"Oh no… No no no no! Not, no! Not a…." Fred's throat started closing on him. He just couldn't say it. "How…. You can't be…!"
Judy just smiled at her nervous wrecked Fiancé "I'm afraid so, Dada."
A couple years later, Fred just got a degree in politics. He and Judy got married and had Fredrick Jones Jr., who's now 2 years old.
Chapter 2.5
"The Nightmare, or was it?"
"Come on, Judy." Fred whispered, looking down the dark cave. He shined his flashlight at the openings on the side of the cave, trying to remember which one it was again. "Judy, where are you?"
"Right here!"
"GOD!" Fred yelped, shaken, feeling his skin go white. He turned around and saw Judy, who has fallen on the cave floor clutching her stomach in the pain of her own laughter.
"I… I've never.… Never in my life…. Seen…" Judy gasped in between breaths. Her laughter was strong.
"Judy, don't do that! You… You….." Fred caught himself. He almost admitted that he was scared, something he never did. He loved Judy with all his heart but he'll never give her the satisfaction of admitting he was scared for a second. He knew she would hold that over him for the rest of their lives.
"Yeah yeah." She said, catching her breath. "Look, there it is!" She said pointing to an opening in the side of the cave.
They ran over and saw a round indention on a rock next to a stone wall. They stuck the pieces of the disk in the indention and waited.
The stone wall opened, almost like a door. There before them, was a hallway, at least a couple hundred feet long. It was curved, but at the end of it was a faint glow. Judy was ecstatic.
"Come on honey! Look, you could practily see the treasure way over here! Let's go." Judy said as she started walking thought the hallway with Fred (Now the new mayor of Crystal Cove) at her heels. The mayor couldn't wait to see what the treasure looked like.
'If it was anything like this glow, then it's got to be good.' The mayor thought excitedly. He looked down as he was following Judy and saw something disturbing. A bone. It looked real. The mayor picked it up and examined it. It had scratch marks all over it. He looked around and saw other little bones lying around.
"What the…?" The mayor said, questionably. "Who did…?" He looked at the edge where the wall and floor meet and saw a human skull, the top of his head looked like it was bitten off.
"Judy!" The mayor yelped, having a bad feeling that whatever did this could still be here. Judy turned around. He could tell she was looking at what was in his hand. "Judy, we got to get out of here, now! I found someone's skeleton and whoever did this… Let's just go, come on!" He could tell he sounded crazy, but he kept having this terrible feeling something was about to happen.
Judy turned around and started to come back. Then they saw something go through the wall in front of them and jumped. A shadow, a shadow that had horns, long nails, and was transparent. He also had a knife, at least twelve inches, in his right hand… They looked at the thing and couldn't help but laugh at it. They solved so many mysteries that they thought it was some sort of hologram. The mayor waved his hand through it mockingly till he touched the blade and it was real. They froze, no way could a hologram hold a real knife!
The mayor backed up slowly. The shadow moved and the next thing the mayor knew, his arm was pinned to the wall by the knife the shadow threw at him. He screamed, but couldn't get free. He looked in horror as the thing turned to face Judy and started to get closer to her. They were too petrified to speak, however the mayor still tried to break free. When he finally did, it was too late. Judy was already running.
"Help! Freddie, please help! Ahhhhhhhh!" Judy plead helplessly.
I'm coming Judy!" The mayor yelled back, running. Judy turned the corner of the hallway with that ghost right behind her. Right where that monster wanted her to go. The mayor watch helplessly as the ghost followed Judy around the corner in the room where the treasure was. He then heard a loud shriek, and then it was silent.
He finally got to the room and was blinded by the shine of the gold. He was amazed how much gold was in here. He look at the monster standing over his wife and fell to the ground, crying. He was too late, he killed her. Her body was beaten and had cuts all over. Her throat was slashed and covered with blood. Her beautiful eyes, her ocean blue eyes that always gave me enough strength to get through the toughest situations, were now dead, cold, scared eyes looking back at me.
"No, this can't be happening! No, it can't be!" The mayor cried out. "You devil! What the hell are you?"
"Muhahaha, stupid humans." The thing laughed, "I'm the Freak, the Freak of Crystal Cove and you, pathetic human, will never see the light of day again! Ahhhhh!" The thing shrieked, running towards the mayor, who was already halfway out of the tunnel. The mayor ran out of the tunnel with the freak not far behind. He got to the opening where he and Judy had entered, but was tackled to the ground in seconds.
"Pathetic human, trying to escape me!" The Freak bellowed, looking at the terrified man, eye to eye. "But you are fast… Maybe you could be of some use?" The Freak said, getting off of the mayor, who didn't like where this was going. "I'll make you a deal. I'll let you live, if you become the Freak and keep people away from my treasure." He told the mayor, which only infuriated him!
"Never! I rather be dead then to have anything to do with you, you monster! You killed my wife and now you want me to dress like you and praticley become you to keep people away from your treasure? Forget it, just kill me!" The mayor said with tears rolling down his eyes. Never did he think this would be the last time he'd see his son again.
The Freak just smiled and said, "Let me put it this way, Mayor. You will keep people away from my treasure and I'll let you and your son live" The Freak smiled with his razor sharp teeth.
"How… How did you know?" The mayor asked, horrified.
"I know a lot of things" The Freak answered, "Now; do we have an agreement, Fredrick Jones Sr.?" The Freak asked, knowing he'll get what he wants. The mayor had no choice but to obey. He had to do what the Freak said, or else.
"Ok, I'll do it just, please, don't hurt my son, please!" The mayor begged. The Freak just laugh.
"You have my word, but to make sure you'll remember me…" The Freak slashed at the mayor's throat, causing him to wake up….
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" The mayor shrieked as the sheriff ran in to see what happened. "Where am I?" The mayor yelp, barely remembering where he was. He looked down at himself and was drenched in sweat.
"You idiot, don't you remember. You betrayed everybody who respected you and got your butt sent to prison." The sheriff said with hatred in his voice. When the mayor looked up, the sheriff froze. "My God. What the hell did you do to yourself?" The sheriff asked, a little concerned.
The mayor felt something warm running down arm. He looked at his arm and found blood running down and dripping off his fingers.
