I do not own Pepe or Penelope
I do own Pheffe and Bryony
Set in the last chapter of Le Pew Tails.
Chapter Eight
"No One Hurts My Girl."
That fiend! That vile woman! Bryony Pussycat who would kill a child. She had that pistol in her hands and was going to use it.
Pepe had barely recovered from the shock of seeing Pheffe. The child was now boney and bruised. Bryony had snapped at everyone to step back, but not Pepe. He wasn't afraid of some woman with a gun. Pheffe was in danger and he would protect her, even though he felt weak.
Bryony glared at him, the son-in-law that she hated!
"You were going to get this only, now you will suffer more. Perhaps die of a broken heart after what you will witness!!"
Her words spoke venom to him. Pepe felt a sudden rage at her and seeing her aim that pistol at his own flesh and blood. He reached out with both hands to snatch the gun from and hopefully have her at a gunpoint.
No, it did not go that way. She was strong compared to him. She had shoved him to the ground where he felt even weaker. He couldn't get up. His body was aching. He helplessly watched the pistol aim at Pheffe and it didn't go off. Pheffe had defended herself with her childlike innocence.
He saw Bryony leave and with that he managed to find a little strength and crawled to Pheffe. He lifted her up and stood up. Her poor little hand ran over his face to be reassured. She was assured and her little arms clung to his neck. Pepe could feel the warm tears of hers touch his neck which broke his heart.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Pepe wanted to say. He was at loss to speak right there. Filled with relief and rage at Bryony.
Then it was more rage at Penelope who left with her family. Pepe had his eyes fuming with anger and hate. He didn't feel the hate towards Penelope, it was towards Bryony. She had managed to seduce her daughter away from him.
The train carrying Penelope left. Pepe stood there still holding Pheffe. She let out a sob into his neck. Pepe kissed her head and pressed her close. He didn't want to lose her again.
Right there, he vowed that not one would hurt Pheffe. Not with him around. Flashes of Bryony's face snapped back
"No one hurts my girl," he said aloud with a threat in his tone. "Anyone who does eez going to get major pain!"
Pheffe sniffed which softened Pepe's attitude. He had to get her home.
"Don't worry Pheffe," he whispered lovingly into her hair. "I won't let anyone hurt you again."
