I don't own Austin & Ally
Third Person POV
Previously
"What do you want?", Ella asked.
"For you all to be together", she said. That just seemed too good to be true for everyone.
"Really?", Ella asked doubtfully.
"Yeah, I want you all to be together so you can watch each other suffer"
"H-How are you g-going to d-do that?", Aiden stuttered. He really didn't want to know the answer, but there really wasn't anyone brave enough to ask the question. All the crazy people just started laughing (minus Elliot who looked sad) and Tina pulled a rope that opened up some dark curtains to reveal…some kind of chair. An electric chair was the first thought that ran through everyone's minds, but that wasn't what it was.
"Alright, who's up first? This is going to be a really fun game of what I like to call the Freeman version of Mercy", Tina said.
"NO!", Ally, Maddie, Dez, Porter, Alyssa, and Aiden all yelled at the same time. They've all had to play the Freeman version of Mercy before, and they would never want anyone else to play it.
"Awe, why not? I know you guys miss that game", Tina said in a baby voice. "What about you Aiden? You look like the type of kid who'd want to go first."
"NO! You leave him alone!", Maddie yelled, grabbing her little brother's other arm so they couldn't take him. Aiden was being pulled left to right by Tina and Maddie, but he didn't care about how that was hurting his arms. He just never wanted to go back in that chair. The Freeman's version of Mercy is where they strap you to a chair and continuously hit you while you're screaming for mercy. They just don't get the concept with mercy that when you actually say 'mercy' they're supposed to stop. It's a horrible 'game' and they've all had to endure it.
"Fine!", Tina yelled, throwing Aiden towards Maddie where they both hit the hard floor with a thud. "We'll let you go first!", she yelled, grabbing Maddie by the nap of her neck.
"Let her go!", Porter yelled at the top of his lungs while running over to them. He was sick of all the crap they had been putting all these innocent people through. And right behind Porter was Austin, Dez, Mike, and Daryl.
"Uhg, you people are relentless! Mom, give them Maddie, but you're not getting Ally", Samantha yelled as she grabbed Ally and pulled her slightly away from the group.
"Let my Mommy go!", Ella cried.
"It should've been her that got shot instead of Austin! She deserves it!", Sam yelled, holding Ally's arms behind her back. Ally let out a cry in pain and tears were streaming down her face.
"Ally!", Austin yelled. He made Dez hold Ella since he had already given Bri to Trish when they went to get Maddie.
"Sam, Ally wasn't even there when you shot Austin-", Elliot started, but Samantha cut him off.
"Well she should've been! I want you all gone!", she yelled and pulled out a gun…again.
"No! Don't hurt my Mommy!", Ella yelled. She would be balling her eyes out right now, much like the first time she was kidnapped and Samantha pulled a gun on Austin, but she was too scared for her Mommy and the twins right now. She had to stay strong.
"Say goodbye Ally", Samantha said with tears in her eyes. Nobody knew why she was crying when she was the one about to pull the trigger, but she was. Samantha's shaky thumb reached for the trigger, when the gun was forcefully ripped from her hand by Elliot, making her grip on Ally fall too. Ally couldn't stop herself as she went tumbling to the ground, expecting to land with great impact, but miraculously her knight in shining armor, better put as her husband, dashed over and caught her before she fell. Austin hit the ground hard, but the impact didn't faze him. If it had've been Ally, she would've almost certainly lost both babies, but she landed right on top of her husband, cushioning her fall.
"Austin", Ally cried as she buried her head in her husband's chest. That was all she could say, and it was enough for Austin. He had the love of his life there with him, alive and well.
"I'd never let you fall", Austin whispered, hugging her back. Ella smiled at both of her parents being okay, and looked to the side to see her Uncle Elliot holding Samantha as if he were a police officer and she was a criminal. Ella knew that Elliot somehow still loved Samantha, but just couldn't be with someone who tried to kill his baby sister.
"Why are you all like this?", Ella asked. All heads turned her way in surprise. The tone of her voice was soft and caring which was very different from the fierce yet terrified tone she had just minutes before.
"Like what?", Tina asked.
"Mean, evil, just horrible. I mean, everybody has a reason for why they're bad. I just want to know why you guys turned bad. And why, out of all people, did you choose to torture little kids in an orphanage?", Ella asked. Everyone was trying to get her to be quiet, but she just wouldn't stop talking. She almost had to witness her father, mother, and unborn younger siblings death, because of them, and she just wanted to know why.
"We were all brought up that way sweetie", Penny said.
"Don't call her that", Ally said as Austin was helping her up.
"It's fine Mommy. I just wanna know why they think they can call us their family when they just hurt us. I mean, how do they even figure that that's alright?", Ella asked. By now Austin and Ally had come back over there and Austin took Ella from Dez.
"We were raised that way", Tina started. Everyone looked at her strangely, but let her continue. "My husband and I were raised the same way, and I wanted to raise my kids that way too. That just didn't seem like enough though. I wanted as many kids as possible to live the way we did, so we bought the orphanage."
"What's your excuses?", Ella asked turning toward all the other crazy people.
"We actually have the same excuse. We all lived together", Penny said.
"In an orphanage?", Ella asked, being the first to catch on. They nodded.
"So you guys hurt kids in an orphanage because you all were put in an orphanage as kids?", Ally asked in disbelief.
"Y'all were abused in your orphanage too, weren't you?", Ella asked.
"Pretty much", Lester said, answering both of the girls' questions at once.
"That was definitely the wrong thing to do", Ella said, and seeing their confused expressions, she continued. "If you had a childhood like that, and you thought it was bad, you should've tried to stop it when you got older, not try to make it worse."
"I agree", Maddie chimed in. "If you were abused as kids, you shouldn't just grow up and think it's okay to do the same to other kids. You should devote yourself to making sure it won't ever have to happen to another kid again if you can prevent it. Why would you want ids to go through all that pain if you know how it feels?"
"Yeah, we're all trying to do that, and we went through the same things that you did; probably even worse", Ally added.
"Yeah, we love kids so we'd do everything we could to protect them", Mimi said.
"Friends are supposed to help you get through the hard times with love, not add more hatred on top of it and hurt others along with the people you're meant to love", Maddie said.
"Nobody wants to be with people like us. They just say we're nothing but weak pieces of trash", Penny said.
"That's not true!", Austin said butting in. "My family adopted my best friend who was a victim just like you. We loved him no matter what his past was like. My parents also adopted an eighteen year old girl that seemed almost broken beyond repair at the time, because we loved her. We didn't have to do that either, because she was eighteen and could've made it on her own, but we chose to. I married a girl that had a horrible past. She was abused from the time she was an infant to when she was twelve years old and her brother had to raise her. She was bullied all throughout her school years, and her brother abandoned her, leaving her his baby when she was only eighteen and alone. Together, we adopted our baby girl and love her with all of our hearts. I'm a superstar for goodness sakes, but I've seen people with less than the victims do similar acts of kindness. So don't you dare tell me that nobody could possibly care about people like you. They would if you would just be good people and stand up", Austin said.
"I'm one of the ordinary people that love people in those conditions", Trish stated. "My best friend went through all of this, and I love her as if she were my own sister. I love my boyfriend with all my heart and he went through this too. So did my niece and personal friend whom I can now call a sister as well", she said hugging Maddie.
"Yeah, and random people in the park care too. Ella and I were being attacked, and a stranger just walked up, didn't even tell us his name, and helped us escape", Maddie said. Porter glimpsed in her direction, but quickly reverted his gaze to the floor when he found Maddie looking at him as well.
"See? People do care. You should too", Ella said.
"I'm still one of the kids having to go through all of this, and I hate it. Do you find some kind of sick joy in hurting little kids who can't defend themselves?", Aiden asked as he slid his sleeves and pant legs up to reveal many bruises and cuts. Maddie gasped and quickly started inspecting her little brother everywhere to see if he was alright. Mimi smiled at her daughter thinking that she would make an excellent mother someday.
"I love all these kids as if they were my own, and only one of them is blood related", Mike said.
"How would you like to be treated like that all over again just to remember the pain you went through?", Dez asked.
"That doesn't matter", Max said shaking his head.
"Max", Ally sighed. "I-I'd be willing to forgive you if you stop, admit it's a sin, and ask God for forgiveness"
"You'd seriously just forgive us, after the torture we put you through all these years, if we did that?", Max asked in disbelief.
"Of course I can Max. Everyone sins and God forgives them. He wants us to forgive people too, so why shouldn't I?", Ally asked.
"Does that go for all of us?", Penny asked hopefully.
"Penny!", Lester exclaimed.
"I want forgiveness Lester! I don't want to keep living like this! They all seem so happy, no matter what any of us ever did to them! That's the kind of life I always wanted, but I just didn't know how to get it. I thought it was impossible", Penny said.
"I want that too", Elizabeth admitted.
"Me too", Brenda said. They all had tears in their eyes as they more about the lives they've lived.
"I kind of do too", Tom said, being the first of the guys to admit it.
"That would be nice; I guess I want it too", Adam agreed.
"That sounds amazing", Elliot said making Ally and Ella smile.
"Ally, would you really forgive us?", Lester asked. Ally smiled a little.
"I really would."
"Then I agree", he said smiling back at her.
"Me too", Max said surprising everyone.
"Max!", Tina exclaimed, at the same time Samantha yelled, "Dad!"
"I'm sorry if that upsets you two, but I do want that and you should too", Max said shrugging.
"If you guys want the cold hard truth then I'll give it to you", Ella said, making everyone turn their attention towards her. "I paid attention to our preacher at church, and if you don't ask God for forgiveness and accept him in your heart as you savior and Lord, you'll be going to hell when you die", Ella finished shocking everyone in the room with her bluntness about that statement. "Oh, and I also learned that that is a very bad place, but you are allowed to say that word when you're talking about the place", she added.
"You're right baby. It's not exactly a bad word when you mean it as a place, but it's a very bad place", Ally said.
"I don't wanna go to hell!", Samantha cried.
"You don't have to Sam, just ask for forgiveness", Ally said.
"Ally, I can't even forgive myself! I shot your husband! I bullied you all throughout our school years! I drugged your brother and got pregnant, leaving the kid on a doorstep! I took your little girl away from you when all I did was abandon her! Goodness, thirty minutes ago I tried to kill you which would've made your unborn babies die too! How could you or God forgive me for all of that!?", Samantha asked crying.
"Sam, God forgives everyone. All you have to do is ask. It's as simple as ABC", Ella said.
"Yeah, the ABC's of becoming a Christian. A is admit to God that you're a sinner and repent and turn away from your sins. B is believe that Jesus is the son of God and accept his gift of forgiveness. And C is confess your sins to Jesus as you savior and your Lord forever more. That's all it takes, so please! You two are the only ones that need to come to your senses", Ally begged, looking back and forth from Tina and Samantha. Ally was soon tackled in a hug by the same girl that had caused her life so much misery and just tried to kill her. Ally was surprised, but she hugged back to let the girl know she was serious.
"Sam, does this mean-"
"Yes Ally, I want it too", Samantha said smiling. They all then turned to Tina who was the only undecided one left in the room.
"I can't", she cried.
"Yes you can. All you have to do is ask for forgiveness. God loves you no matter what", Ella said.
"What do you say Tina?", Maddie asked the woman whom she had grown up with all her life with as an abuser.
"I say that I'm sorry. I'm so, so, very sorry to all of you for everything I've ever done! I now know it was by far the worst decision I've ever made, and I'm so sorry!", Tina cried.
"Tina, it's okay. Just let God know how sorry you are. Come on, let's all pray for forgiveness. Everyone here needs it", Ally said. They all closed their eyes as Ally began to pray.
"Dear Lord, there are many people here who've been lost for quite a long time. They need you now Lord. We all need you forever and always. We ask you now to forgive us all for every in any of us have ever made. We ask you to reside in all of our hearts and stay there forever", Ally started then Austin joined in.
"Lord, I've made my fair share of mistakes, so I want us all to have forgiveness. We may not deserve it, but your son died for a reason, and that reason is us", Austin prayed. Ella then decided to take her turn.
"God, I don't know a lot about this world, but I know you died for the people in the world. I love you God. Please forgive all these people. They did bad things to us, but I think they really want to change. I know you can help them better than anyone else", she prayed.
"God, you were all I had through many painful years of beatings", Maddie started. "I have so much to be grateful for in this wonderful family, so thank you for being with me all my life"
As everyone else took their turns, they took notice to how genuine the people all sounded when they prayed. They literally wanted to be forgiven by God. There was no better feeling to them than knowing the people behind their lives' torture weren't only going to stop hurting them, they wouldn't be hurting anyone else either, and they would be closer to God.
"Everybody freeze!", someone yelled. Everyone looked up and smiled at the sight of the police officers. The Freemans, Dawsons, Worthys, Carters, and Elliot were all actually willing to be brought in for justice. They wanted forgiveness, and that included paying for their mistakes. Nobody cared that they were going to jail, probably for the rest of their lives, on many charges. They were all changed that day, and miraculously, all narrowly escaped the death penalty, courtesy of the victims saying they were against the idea.
"So, you want them in jail so they can pay for what they did, but somehow you all befriended each other when they kidnapped you so you're against the death penalty?", a cop with a notepad asked. Ally nodded.
"Yes sir, but I wouldn't want anyone to die anyway", Ally said. The officer smiled.
"I see mam. Why don't we get you all down to the hospital now? You know, just to for a brief check-up for all of you and to make sure your babies are doing fine", the officer suggested. Ally nodded as she and her family all walked out of yet another life threatening scenario, alive and well.
So, what'd you all think? I wanted to give this story the good Christian values. I wanted everyone to know that even some of the most horrible people in the world can turn their lives around and come closer to God. Please take that into consideration if you ever feel like you've wronged the world too much. Ask for forgiveness and you're sure to find it! Please read, review, follow, and favorite!
I don't own the Christian ABC's, but I do love them.
God bless you all!
