Innocents Ch. 19
Reviewers:
SocietyMember: Thanks! Of course I'll do one, not now, but soon :)!
Masaki-Hanabusa: Amen to that! Yes, Pokemon will never be forgotten, no matter how old it gets!
AnimeApprentice: Hey, Poland is like, totally awesome!
WTF FACT: Hippo milk is pink, thus my perfect reason for not liking strawberry milk (no offense to anybody who DOES drink it, just saying).
Notes: I realized something. Why did I forget Monica?! Oh well, she's in this chapter. Oh, and Monaco (Monica) is a small country in France that is very close to Italy, so I'm thinking that she'd probably be a 'big sister' type to the Italians. This chapter is kind of like a bad SOAP Opera, with Mr. Jones and his kids...
Begin:
Current time: 12: 00 A.M.
Amelia yawned as she rose from her bed.
"H-huh?" She looked around, groggily. She wiped the sleepiness away from her eyes, and blinked. Why was she here and not with Arthur? Who put her here? She looked around, this was Block E, this is an empty block, well, she's here, so it's not very empty.
"Is anyone there?" She asked aloud. No answer.
Getting worried, she tried to open her cell. No luck. Now she was freaking out.
"Hello!" She asked and banged on the bars.
"A-Amelia? Wh-where's Arthur and Gilbert?" Madeline asked. Amelia turned to look at her sister, who now was just getting up.
"Maddie! The door's locked, and somebody must have put us in here!" Amelia said frantically.
"Who could've-"
"Hello, my dears." Mr. Jones said calmly.
"Daddy! Let us out! The fight will be soon, and Artie and other's lives will be in danger!" Amelia said, shaking the bars.
"I know. That's why you two are in here, to be kept safe." He said, calmly sitting down in a chair, fixing to give his girls a chat.
"Father?" Madeline asked.
"You see," He said, lighting a cigarette. "Ever since she kicked you girls out, I've been trying my hardest to protect you. Including from your stupid boyfriends."
"Hey! No calling my Artie lame!" Amelia growled. Madeline nodded in favor for Gilbert.
"You protect them, but look at your mother and my marriage, girls. Your marriage will be the same as ours, and who would protect you from it happening in the first place? Me."
"So, you locked us in here so our friends and loves can die? Daddy..." Amelia said softly.
"Yes. Not only that, but you two and I will be catching a three 0' clock plane ride. I want you in a loved filled marriage by my choosing, and also, Bentalia is ruined. Don't you get that? The stupid trees had overgrown it for fifteen years, now. There are no people left in it, it's a shit place. I want you girls to come with me and have a new start in life. You'll thank me later." Mr. Jones said as if that solved everything.
"You...bastard!" Amelia shouted and Mr. Jones looked as if he got slapped in the face.
"You taught me how to be a hero! I heard that you and momma were great together! What the hell happened?! HUH!?"
There was a quiet silence after that, and Mr. Jones had been silent. Then he spoke.
"She blamed me, Amy. When I had became the mayor, we'd became distant. I would hug her, and she'd turn her back on me. For Lord's sake, you were only a one year old before she'd gave birth to Madeline..."
"Wait, what? This isn't her fault! What does Madeline have to do with this?"
"Amelia, before you were even born, I had an affair."
…...
The prisoners knew what they were supposed to do, Mr. Gupta Hassen allowed them to be free as long as they killed the Mafia. Sure being prisoners they can go back on their word, but...they wanted to kill somebody to pin their harsh anger on. They weren't allowed out yet, but they knew that those guards that Mr. Jones brought were their key to freedom. Right now they were unlocking the doors to the weakest prisoners, first. Then, it'll be the big bad wolves next.
…...
Matthias opened his eyes as he heard clicking sounds. He looked around, and to his shock, Mr. Jone's guards were unlocking the doors!
"Hey everyone!" He got up and shouted. "TO YOUR BATTLE STATIONS!" Luckily, he had a big voice, because he heard stirs from his allies.
"What the cazzo!? Why-" Lovina was looking all around. She huffed as she got out her gun.
"Up, bastard." She nudged Antonio, who was sleeping.
"Wh-what?" He looked around. The guards were moving quickly, unlocking and running to the next doors.
"Let's go!" He picked up his ax, opened their cell, and ran to his post.
…...
Matthias ran outside, Kristine and the others did too before any prisoners got the chance. Heracles got his battle horn, Sakura reached for her Katana. Feli, Lovi, Elizabeta, and more guards were inside the nurse's office, ready to pummel anybody or take care of their injured. Katyusha, Feliks, Lien, Sadik, and a few others were guarding the innocent people in the kitchen.
"Vhere's Birdie!?" Gilbert asked as he ran with Francis and Antonio.
"Oui? Mon Cherie is missing?" He asked.
"So is Amelia! And Mr. Jones! What the hell is happening?" Arthur, who was running with them, yelled.
"Wait, but Mr. Jones isn't the main bad guy," Tiina said, running along with them.
"Vho is, then?"
"Mr. Gupta Hassen! I bet Mr. Jones is his sidekick..." Tiina looked terrified.
"Vell, I'm going to find mein Birdie! Antonio, aren't you supposed to be guarding ze important people?"
"Oh yeah," He stopped as he headed towards the kitchen. "Good luck!" He called at his friends.
Chun and Ivan got out their weapons for the main hall. However, they would wait. No way they would be getting in the way of all of those prisoners.
"So, Amelia and Madeline are missing, da?"
"Shi, aru. We need to save them, but how?" The two were in the shadows.
"Allow me," They turned to Monica Santanonio, who was in the shadows of the main hall.
"I know a lot of lock-picking, and I have a gun on me. Just tell me where do you think she is."
"Maybe somewhere more hidden, less prisoners...Block E or the bathrooms, aru!" Chun said, eyes widening.
"Da, be careful. Mr. Jones is the mayor, and he has been helping a bad guy. You think you need some backup, da?"
"Yes. Maybe I'll get Gilbert, and Mr. Romulus." Monica thanked the two before she disappeared. Chun's eyes widened as the prisoners were like a stampede, running outside and shouting like madmen.
"I have a bad feeling, aru."
"Well, Chun, I think we all have a bad feeling..."
Most of the prisoners were all haywire, ready to get out of there. A few ventured too close to the kitchens, and instantly got shot or killed. Since there was no need for more guards in the kitchen, Antonio asked if he could help Gilbert find the lost girls.
"Dude, totally! That's Amelia and Madeline we're talking about! Go!" Feliks said.
"Thank you. Now all I have to do is find Gilbert!"
…...
"Hey, isn't that the guy we're supposed to kill?" Asked Markus, pointing to Matthias.
A bunch of 'yes's answered him. The man stood tall with his gun, a little scared, but he knew that his fellows would protect him (or so he hoped, there was about five-hundred or more escaped prisoners looking at him).
"Let's get him!" They charged. Matthias pointed and shot some charging prisoners, but it didn't stop them. He cringed. He hoped that he wouldn't die soon. As they edged nearer, a bullet suddenly whizzed through Markus's chest, an instant kill. The others stopped charging suddenly and looked at their dead leader, his eyes turned a pale white (kind of). Another bullet hit a prisoner who took one step nearer.
"They can't take us all!" One shouted. He started running again, and so did the others. Soon, bullets flew and as the prisoners got nearer Matthias (who was trying hard not to run).
"Shit," Kristine said as she looked at all those people getting near Matthias.
"What do we do?!"
"Leave it to me," A cool voice answered her, and Kristine quickly turned around to see...
"Natalya?" She asked, looking at the girl in her blue dress and ribbon hair. She had a lot of guards behind her, ready to kill.
"Charge, men!" She shouted.
…...
"Birdie?! Vhere are you!?" He asked again. The halls were empty.
"Oi, Gilbert!" Mr. Romulus called.
"Mr. Vargas? Vhy aren't you in ze battle?"
"Because, that's what he wants! My death and others! Besides, I think we know where the girls are." Mr. Vargas said as Monica appeared behind him.
"Vhere?"
"It's simple. Mr. Jones would likely hide his daughters away from the massacre, since they're prisoners, they could easily go into the girl's bathrooms...I'm guessing somewhere in Block E because there aren't many prisoners in there, like Chun suggested." Monica said as she began to run in that direction.
…...
"Who's my mother?!" Madeline asked. She...and Amelia were half-sisters. What a shocker.
"Well, when I was mayor, she was my secretary, her name was Francine Bonnefoy, the late wife of Jacques Bonnefoy."
"Wait, so you're saying that Gilbert's moronic, perverted friend...is MADDIE'S BROTHER?!" Amelia shouted.
"Yes. That's why Amelia's mother didn't like you Madeline, but after Francine died giving birth, she had to take you in. Why? She wanted us to become a family again. However, when I practically was too busy for my own family, she kicked you out. Our family is torn because of me, and I wanted to make your lives better."
"By killing our friends!? Dad, you're not a hero." Amelia's usual warm blue eyes became daggers, and Mr. Jones flinched.
"You're a sick, twisted, villain, and...I hate to say this, but you're dead to both of us."
Mr. Jones looked pained. Then anger.
"I am protecting you! You ungrateful bitch! You'll find new friends, you'll start a new family! Madeline, tell your sister that she's being stupid!" Mr. Jones hissed.
"You're stupid, dad." Madeline glared. Never in her life had Amelia seen Madeline so pissed, and she was kind of proud.
…...
Yay, now time for the good stuff!
