Chapter 19
John and Dallas run as fast as they can. "Come on boy" yells John. "We are almost home"
Vince tries to get free. He starts yelling out. Randy is walking behind him; telling everyone that he is not well. Kurt runs in and stops Randy.
"This man is weak…" says Kurt "He needs a hospital…not an asylum. Please…."
Randy pushes him back. "No…"
"Vince hadn't done anything…this is a big mistake" says Kurt
"Shut it Kurt…"
They throw Vince on the carriage. Vince looks at Randy.
"No…please Randy…"
"Vince…have you been in a mad house before…you won't last a week in there" says Randy
Vince didn't say anything.
"All this can go away…I can help you but…"
"But what!' yells Vince
"Give me your sons hand…and all this will be over" smiles Randy
"Never"
Randy stands back and closes the door. He looks at the driver.
"Go…" he yells
The man starts driving but stops suddenly. John is in front of him; staring with a glare.
"Stop!" he yells
The driver stops and looks back at Randy.
John jumps off and runs to the back.
"Stop this…he is not sick" yells John
"JOHN!" Yells Vince
"Randy…please stop this"
"I can't" says Randy "But I will…"
"How?" ask John
"If you marry me" smiles Randy
"I will never marry you Randy…never" says John
"Well…then" Randy pushes John out of the way. "Take him!"
"No…" yells John "STOP!"
"We have to…"
"But why?" says John "He hasn't done anything…"
"He's been talking about a beast….a beast that locked you away" says Dolph
"And he is more than six feet tall" says Christian
"And he attacked him…" said Rusev
"Is it true of what your father is saying?" ask Randy
"It is…." Growls John
"What…?" they all gasped
"Some of it is true…"
"Like what?" ask Dolph
"There is a beast…."
"Oh no. He now has you going crazy. You should of left when you had the chance…" says Randy
"But it's true…"
"Why did you come back…?" ask Randy "Your father is telling lies and he is making you believe him. He said there is a beast in a castle…"
"There is a beast…" says John "And there is a castle…."
"You will say anything to set him…Why should we believe you?" ask Randy
"I can show you"
John walks to Dallas and looks through a bag. John takes out the magic mirror. He runs up to the crowd who is still telling lies; or even arguing why this is happening.
"The beast is real…and my father isn't lying" says John
"Okay…prove it…let's see that you're right" says Randy
John shows them the mirror. He then brings it to him.
"Show me the beast" says John
The mirror glowed and flashed. The beast is sitting down looking at the sky. He looks sad; John can tell he is sad. John wanted to go back. He looks at the beast one more time before Randy snatched the mirror.
"A beast" he whispers "He is telling the truth"
"I told you" snaps John
"A big horrible Beast is out there!" yells Randy
The crowd jumps back by that sentence. They all gasped as he showed the beast.
"He is alive…" says Randy "It's all true"
Randy takes a look at the mirror.
"Look at his fangs!" He yells "His claws!"
The crowd all jumped back in fear. They all don't know what to do or say.
"No…stop it Randy" says John
"Look at him…He is more than six feet tall!"
"Wait…don't be afraid…he's kind" says John as he snatches the mirror. "He's gentle…and"
Randy grabs the mirror. "A beast!"
They crows yells.
"He probably has John under his spell"
John looks at him "What?"
"I think John cares for the beast" says Randy "John cares for this monster right here!"
"He is not a monster Randy…" yells John "You are!"
John walks to the crowd. "He's gentle…he wouldn't hurt anyone"
Randy grabs John by the collar. He then throws him down the floor.
"He is under a spell!" yells Randy "I never thought I would see black magic before my eyes. But here he is. The beast is controlling him!"
"What!" yells John "NO! Randy"
"He is a threat to this village…he might come and attack us" Randy looks at John "We can't have him warn the beast…lock him up too"
"NO…wait…"yells John as he struggles to get free. They throw him in with his father. Vince holds him tight making sure they don't hurt him. Randy closes the door.
Edge goes up to Randy "Randy…with all due respect…i…"
"Do you want to be next!" yells Randy
Edge stands back.
"Fetch my horse…we are going after the beast" whispers Randy
Edge goes to find his horse. Randy stands tall in front of the village people.
"This creature will curse us all if we don't stop him"
"YEAH!" yells the people.
"Well…I say we kill the beast!" yells Randy
"Yeah…Kill the beast!"
"We don't feel safe until he is dead…." yells one.
"When he crawls around at night"
"Set to sacrifice our children for his monstrous appetite"
"He will come and attack our village" yells another
"So it's time to take some action" yells Randy "It's time to follow me!"
Randy lights up a pile of logs. He grabs one torch and lights it up. Randy sees his horse.
"NO RANDY Don't do this!" yells John. He is punching the door trying to get free. "I won't let you!"
"The beast can come over here and kill us all…we don't want that" says Randy
Randy kicks the door making John falls back.
"Let's kill the beast!'
The people grab torches and horses some of them start marching in foot. Randy starts leading them towards the beast. They start heading through the mist, through the woods, through the darkness, and the shadows.
"It's a nightmare walking through here" says Edge
"But it's one exciting ride…" said Randy. "Say a prayer Edge, hoping that we're there at the drawbridge of the castle."
"What if there's something truly terrifying in there?" ask one of the people.
"It won't scare me" said Randy
"But…" says Dolph "He's a beast"
"I know, he's got fangs, razor sharp ones massive paws, killer claws for the feast. Hear him roar see him foam, but we're not coming home til he's dead. Good and dead" says Randy "I'm going to kill the beast"
Everyone cheers as they follow. Randy looks straight ahead and stops. He takes out the mirror.
"This can show us where he lives…" says Randy
Edge stops behind him. He looks back at the carriage where they have John and Vince. He can see John trying to break through the door. He sighs; this is not right.
"Show me the castle" says Randy
The castle shows on the mirror. He smirks.
"Now…show me the way to the castle"
The mirror did just. He laughs as he starts following the path the mirror is showing him. The people follow closely behind. Randy looks at one of his friends; who gives him a gun; and an bow. He gets it ready.
"Looks like a long walk" he says "But we will get there…and surprise the beast"
The crowd is now out of sight. John kept kicking the door. He tries to break it open; he won't stop.
"John…" says Vince
"No…NO!" John tries again trying to break it.
"John…it's no use" says Vince "It won't break"
"I have to get out of here…" says John "I have to warn Mark"
"Who…?"
"Mark…"
"Who's Mark…?" ask Vince
"He's the beast…"
"You know his name"
"Yes…He introduce himself to me. He even gave me a room and some great food"
"You are talking about the beast right?" says Vince
"He is not a beast" says John "He is a gentle man, kind"
"But….when I first met him he…"
"I know….and he feels bad. He was angry…he was mad at himself" said John "We didn't give him patience…we just assumed that he was a monster"
"What…made you change your…"
John takes something out of his pocket. The small guitar he got from his home.
"Where did you…?"
"He took me there…he showed me everything…I know what happen to her" says John "I found this at our home"
"I'm sorry…I wanted to…"
"I know it's hard for you…but I understand"
"You're mother loved music…"
"He showed me music; beautiful music…" says John "So please…help me. I have to warn Mark"
"The beast…umm…but it's dangerous"
"Yes it is…" says John "It is"
Vince smiles "I always knew you were fearless"
He looks at the door. "I could pick the lock"
John smiles.
"Let's see…" he moves towards the door and tries to find the lock. He reaches his hand out trying to reach the lock. "I need something…I need something sharp like…"
John looks around his tux. He finds a pen that was holding his sleeves. He shows it to his dad.
Vince turns around to see it. "Yup…that could work"
Vince tries again and tries to pick it. The makes a snap sound and the door open. John kicks it open and lands on his feet.
"I have to go…"
"Go…I'll be right behind you"
John nods and starts running. "Dallas" Dallas runs beside him and John jumps up. The two start heading towards the castle.
The man in charge walks up to them and gasped.
"How…how did you?"
"Doesn't matter…." Smiles Vince. The two heard the steps of the horse. John looks back at his father. Vince nods telling him to go.
"What…?"
"Do you have kids…"
The stranger just stood there surprised.
John takes off the jacket of the tuxedo and ran for it. He is just wearing the gold undershirt. John grabs tight. "I'm coming back Mark…please hang on"
