The Freak?

Jesus Christ, it's been a while… Enjoy : )

"Hopping jellyfish, where could he be?" The Mayor wondered, worrying that he may already be too late… That is, if he found him.

He promised to Judy as he left the cave, which had to be her grave, that he would protect Fred with his life. That was a promise he was going to keep no matter what it took.

The Mayor had been roaming the forest near Crystal Cove for over an hour looking for Fred. He knew how much Fred loved the forest, but the Mayor knew how easy someone can get lost especially at night, which is another reason he always yelled at Fred not to go near the forest. Besides the fact it was a creepy place, even when the Mayor was solving mysteries with his friends, and didn't want to have to look for Fred in it.

But, of course, where was he now; looking for his son who might kill himself if he doesn't find him soon.

His stomach twisted. He just can't bear the thought that his son wants to kill himself all because of him, because he ruined his life, because of all the lies. It was his entire fault and it might be too late, all because of him. He couldn't take it.

"Dammit Fred!" The Mayor said loudly as if Fred could hear him. "You have too much to live for. Please don't kill yourself." The Mayor was starting to cry. He felt like he was losing Judy all over again. "Please…" He whispered through his tears, "Please still be alive."

He waited, as if Fred would suddenly appear. Of course, he didn't.

"Who am I kidding?" The Mayor asked himself. "My son is dead and is probably happier with his mother." The Mayor couldn't go on. He just couldn't. He had no reason to live anymore. He turned around and his heart sank, his whole body went stiff with chills going down his back… "No!" He choked, barley even a whisper. He stared at the knife stained with fresh blood…

Fred's POV

MuHaHaHaHa xD

ABOUT 5 Min Earlier

'Where the hell am I?' Fred wondered as he went stumbling through the woods, tripping over roots and looking out for poisonous plants and animals. He didn't dare move when he saw a spider bigger than his head blocking his way.

"Dear GOD, please don't let it eat me." Fred whispered in horror. He was petrified of spiders and this thing sure as hell didn't calm his nerves. At least it didn't have a red mark on its back. He didn't know what would happen if it did, nor by what it meant, but he sure didn't want to find out. Although he'll run no matter what was on its back, but considering this one's size, he didn't want to tick it off.

Fred backed away slowly, not taking his eyes off the thing. He backed about 15 feet and decided it was a good idea to go in the other direction. He turned back around and, as he did, took one last glance at the spider…

It was gone.

Fred took off. He wasn't about to stop. He had no idea what that type of spider can do, but it had to be deadly. That thing looked like it could kill an elephant. Fred kept running until he heard somebody yelling.

'It's got him!' Fred thought, 'That spider has him!' He was too petrified to think it though. It wasn't until he ran smack into a tree did he get some sense back. He looked though the bushes and saw his dad with somebody. 'What's he doing here?' Fred thought with disgust and a little wonder. 'And who is that with him?'

Sheriff's POV

Hour and a half ago at the police station

"What do you mean they're both gone? How could they escape so easily from a hospital?' The new Mrs. Mayor asked the Sheriff. Ever since she was elected as the new Mayor, she has been on the Sheriff's case nonstop. She was also infuriated by the towns stupidly. 'Am I the only smart person in this pathetic town?' She wondered.

"Well, I'm sorry princess peach. We're doing all we can to protect your tower from being siege by a criminal and thy suicidal son." The Sheriff said, clearly annoyed by her attitude. Didn't she care about anything other than herself? Mayor or not, she was a royal azz.

"Don't use that tone on me, Sheriff!" She coldly snapped, "I have your job in my hands, now, and I'll kick you out of this town if you tempt me! Now, go find those two and do whatever you like with them, I don't care, but I don't want them to start a riot in this town. Go!" She pointed the way to the men's bathroom…

"Ladies first." The Sheriff said. He watch the new Mayor walk to the door and go inside. She screeched like she was horrified. "Princess Peach, that's the restroom smart one." He walked from the police station with a smile on his face.

He had no idea where either Fred or the Mayor might be; He wondered if Fred was at the cliff again or whether or not if he was dead by now. 'I better go check it out.' He thought…

Keep up with me, ok. Present time.

*Back at the Forest*

The Mayor couldn't breathe. He couldn't run. He was trapped and there was nowhere to go. The thing towered above him, laughing the same mocking laugh he did 15 years ago. Except now, he seemed angry.

"So," the Freak began, chuckling, "Did you really think you can betray me and live to tell about it?" He asked, staring down the Mayor.

"What do you mean, Freak?" The Mayor yelled, angrily. Glancing back and forth at the knife then the Freak. "I did everything you said! I went through hell to keep the disks secret, I lied to my son countless times and now he wanted to die himself, I became you!" Tears started to roll down his face. 'What did he mean?'

"Ha! Apparently you forgot the deal. We made a deal saying you'll keep people away from my treasure." He paused to look behind him, he turned back to the Mayor staring at his knife and smiled, "Apparently, somebody got to your disks and used them. Stupid bird, what did that parrot think it could do with the treasure anyways?" The Freak chuckled, amused, while the Mayor went pale.

'Thank GOD. That's not Fred's blood after all.' The Mayor thought. 'No! He must have killed himself then, by now… Wait a second. Pericles got to the treasure! Does this mean?'

"Wait, does that mean… No, it's not my fault! I-I-I-Why I was in jail. There was no way I could have known that…" The Mayor fell to his knees, unable to stand anymore; he realized how tired he actually was. In fact, the only thing keeping him awake now was the Freak himself. 'Wait, why am I fighting death now? Don't I want to die?' The Mayor thought.

"No excuses! We made a fair deal and you can't even get that right. Although, I am impressed that you were able to keep the secret this long, but you're no longer a use to me. Do you remember the rest of our deal?" The Freak asked, with that chilling smile now an angry growl as he was looking down at the Mayor, who knew exactly what would happen next…

Finally I'm able to get this story done soon. I'm so sorry, but I'm almost done. ENJOY
