"EVERYBODY, FOLLOW ME. THE WAY OUT IS THIS WAY."
"Here, take my son. One by one I'll pull them up for you to grab, but you have to lay low and stretch. I can't reach."
"I got you. Come one. A little more. A little more. A little…. I got you.
SEND THE NEXT."
"Here you are."
"Now you. Take hold of my hand."
"I can't. My foot's stuck. Take care of them for me."
"MOM!!!!! MOM!!!!!"
"Oh no, the house is about to fall!!!
Kids, get behind me."
"MOMMY!!!! MOMMY!!!!"
*Crash*
"Shield your eyes kids and follow Autumn. She will direct you to the boats."
"What about our parents?"
"I…. they're...."
"Looking down on you from the stars above. Now grab my hand. I'll take you up."
"Thank you, Autumn."
"No problem, Sis. Are there anymore?"
"Uhhh….I don't...see anyone anywhere. I think we got them….wait. I see people trapped on a roof. You take them. I'll be right back."
"You promise."
"....I promise. Now go."
"Come on kids. It's just up this hill and then down to freedom. We're almost there. You're doing good. One foot in front of the next. That's it."
"I can't breathe. We need to go back. We need to....huuuu!!!"
"She needs her inhaler. She can't breathe without it."
"Here, grab my hand. I may not be as powerful as Abby, but…."
"I CAN BREATHE!!! Huuu!!! Aaahhh!!!!"
"I do have some I can give. Just keep squeezing my hand and you'll be fine."
"Thank you."
"Anything. I'm glad I could help. Look, the boat is just up ahead. We're almost..."
"HALT!!!!!"
"Kids, get behind me.
WHO ARE YOU? SHOW YOURSELF!!!"
"Earrrrrrrrrr!!!! Creesh!!!!!"
"Willow!!! Wake up. Who pushed you over? Willow!!!!"
"Huuuuuuu!!!!!
"RUN!!!
RUN!!!"
"Willow, I got you. Come on."
"It's too late. He's already here."
"Who's here? Who's already here? Who is killing you?"
*BOOM*
"Hello, Autumn."
"Snake!!!!!!
Should've known it was you sneaking around and preventing our escape. Why? Their families are already on the other side of the lake. Let them join."
"I can't. Some have to die on this side of the isle, or else our once great civilization will be lost. When people come to search for us...their will be nothing to search for. We'll just…..poof!!! Float away on the evening wind."
"Here, take your sister and hold her up. I have to clear some stumps blocking our path."
"Come on little girl. Show me what you're made of."
"YOU ASKED FOR IT.
Haaaaaaaghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
Huuuuuu!!!!"
"Autumn, come on. Don't let him win. We're rooting for you."
"Yes. You are 'rooting' for her."
"Aaaaaaghhhhh!!!!"
"Ha!! Ha!! Ha!!! Haaa!!!!!!"
"You monster!! They were just kids. They didn't deserve to die."
"Maybe not....but you do."
"Huuuuuuurrrph!!!!!"
"YOUR SOUL…..IS MINE!!!!!!!!!!"
"Abby, don't take the east route, but the west."
"Huh? Who said that? Why?"
"Snake has already killed the rest of your siblings and is waiting atop the hill for you. He's a Soultaker, and is in search of your soul to complete him."
"HELP US!!!!"
"I got you. Hang onto me.
SHIELD!!!!"
"Wait, where are we going? The rest of the village fled into the hills."
"We're not going to the hills. There is another way off this world, you just have to trust me. Do you?"
".....WE DO!!!!!"
"Then run like your lives depended on it. The shield I've made will block all shots of fire, but I can't hold it forever."
"HEY!!! GET BACK HERE. YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY FROM ME THAT EASILY."
"Hurry. RUN FASTER!!!!"
"I SAID STOP. YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ME THAT….Aaaaaghhhh!!!
HELP!!! HELP!!! HELP!!!! The fire's surrounding me."
"Abby, where are you going? Step back into the field with us."
"What's your name, sir."
"Uh…Mr. Jones. Samuel Jones."
"Samuel. Take your family to the valley's edge and don't stop running until you get there. You'll see a little invention I've created once you arrive. Grab it and it'll fly you towards the others. Now go."
"Abby, what are you going to do? Surely, you're not to help him. Who knows what he did? He's chasing us."
"I know exactly what he did. He killed my siblings as they were coming back to get more villagers. Now, if I just stand here then the flames of fire will kill him too."
"Then let them. He deserves it.
ABBY!!!!! ABBY!!!!
ABBY!!!!"
"I SAID GO. DON'T LOOK BACK. NEVER LOOK BACK."
"HELP!!!! The flames are climbing all over me. Aaaagghhhhhh!!!!"
"HERE, GRAB MY HAND, AND I'LL PULL YOU OUT."
"WHY SHOULD I TRUST….."
"JUST GRAB IT. I CAN'T REACH ANY FARTHER."
"I GOT IT."
"ONE…TWO….AAaaaaghhhh!!!"
"You saved me, but why? Do you not know who I am?"
"I know exactly what you are and who you are."
"Then why do you not flee?"
"Where would I go?"
"Are you going to kill me?"
"Snake, if I wanted to kill you then I would've done so. There have been enough deaths and bleating of cries in my ears, that I wish not to hear another one."
"You're letting me go? Why? I killed your family."
"They weren't mine to begin with, but the Lords.
Now, I'm going to give you two choices."
"Daddy, stop."
"Jim, Abby said."
"I know but look. She has saved him."
"What are my two choices?"
"You can either flee and inflict no harm upon another or else I will not show mercy again. Go…find yourself a new family. Settle down. Enjoy life…. not take it."
"What's the other option?"
"You know my father better than any of us and if you indeed are his clone, then you know what has worked and what hasn't. Stay with us and help Wolf rise. Help us rebuild Dreamworld into what mother would've wanted.
The choice is yours. Take my hand and I'll help you up….or you can walk away.
That's what I thought. Come on, big boy."
"Samuel, why is she showing compassion to him. After all he did to…"
"ABBY, LOOK OUT. HE'S GOT A KNIFE!!!!"
"Mom, she can't hear us."
"You are safe now, Snake."
"But you're not!!!!! *STITCH*
"Huuu!!!!"
"What the? Why are you not dying?"
"Huuu!!! *Sliiii…..iiiittttttt*"
"Where's the blood?"
"I had high hopes for you, Snake. I really did. Welp, I guess, not all can be saved."
"Wait…wait...Aaaaaghhhhh!!!!!"
"I'll see you in Hell."
"Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!"
"Did she just…."
"She did."
"Dropped him down the hole like he was nothing."
"OH HERE!!! YOU FORGOT YOUR KNIFE. LET ME SEND IT DOWN WITH YOU."
"Come on. Let's get out here before she spots us disobeying."
"Wait, where is she going? She's walking over to the burnt remains of the castle."
"My castle!!! My castle!!! Too long have you stayed in the ground. Rise up from your rubble and be made anew."
"Huuuuuu!!!!!"
"Shhh!!"
"Look. The castles formed back up brick by brick like nothing happened."
"The grass is even coming back to life."
"It's time to reign how I want to reign!!!!!"
"Come on. We need to warn the others."
........................….
"Ach, ach!! Huuuuu!!!"
*Boom*
*Kiiirch!!!
*Boom*
*Kiiirch!!!
"Nooo!! This can't be. As the walls of fire burn before my eyes, it is too late. They're all gone. All of them. I vow that I will make Dreamworld a better place for everyone.
'My hands were meant for building. Words were meant for destroying, and my feet were meant for leading. With everything in me, Mother, I won't forget.'"
(This marks the end of book 3. I hope you all have enjoyed it and read lots. Right now, am trying to write less so that I can focus on other things like getting a driver's license and finally leaving this house I grew up in. Other than that, I'm starting to write short stories with Renderforest and then animating them into 58-minute skits, you could say. They are on my YouTube. Channel is just my name. Hope you check them out. :) With that, hope you have a great day and *huge virtual hug. * Enjoy the warmth that is slowly creeping in. Also, I don't want to stress this, but must. Please support me if you feel. I dropped my one tier to only $4 instead of $10. It wouldn't let me go lower, even though I have seen other people's tiers have lower numbers. I'll figure it out. Thanks for spending time with me.)
