Chapter 42: It's All Up To This...
*Tommy's Pov*
After Dudley's scream full of bloody murder...all we could hear now...was silence.
Jake: Is Dudley...?
Me:.....Dead?
Melody:....I believe so...I heard a low growling sound...which means...
The monsters from earlier are now in the caverns...
Not Good...
Me: W-We need to hurry!
Jake: Yeah...for all those who had died. Come on guys! Let's end this fucking nightmare.
Melody: Right!
Me: Yeah!
This was it....the shrine that Howie talked about should not be too far away.
We can do this!
We made it this far!
I...can't give up either...
My brother and sister...we were all starting to understand each other more.
Plus, they're also starting to be nice to me more.
I'm....really glad~!
Melody: Jake...Tommy....?
Jake: Yeah?
Melody: Do you think...the reason why Tessa and Dudley were acting insanity was because of the curse of this town?
Jake:.....Good Question.
Me: It's...possible.
Melody: Yeah. I thought that too. Howie did mentioned something like that earlier. About the curse...turning the people who resided here into monster. The reason why it hasn't affected Howie nor his grandmother were because they were part of the tribe due to their ancestry. But... there's one thing I want to know.
Jake: And that is...???
Melody: The curse had possessed Tessa and Dudley to go through extreme measures such as violence and death....But we came into Dustville the same week they did...so how come it hasn't affected us?
Me:......
Jake: OOF. I'm drawing the blank here...I don't know. But you could be right Melody. Despite Dudley seemingly acted like an homicidal maniac. But it think your theory with the Oasis Syndrome is what pushed him to his limit. Because I don't think he would've acted like an jerk under different circumstances.
Melody: I see...
Jake: But still...Dudley tried to kill us. Curse or not. In my theory, he planned this as well because someone put him up to it.
Me: Huh?
Jake: He wanted to get rid of us for money. Because we were albinos. We probably charged much.
Me:....I don't like to be seen as something that could be sold.
Melody: Same...
Jake: Let's not worry about all this for now. The sacred shrine awaits.
We walked deeper into the mines to come upon the massive grave of skeletons littered all over the place.
Melody: So...many...people...
Jake: Don't let it get to you. We're almost there.
Melody: Hmmm...Wait. I see something... There's feathers and jewelry.
Jake: They...must be from the Indians tribe.
"KILL...."
Me: Huh? D-Did you guys say something...?!
Melody: No...
Jake: That wasn't us....
Then who was...
"KILL...."
We looked at the skeletons and stared wide with fear. They...were talking to us.
"You Must Kill Them..."
"You three are the only ones who can..."
Melody: I can hear voices...in my head?! Am I going crazy?!
Jake: Okay...glad to know I'm not the only one who can hear things. The voices...of the dead tribe... they're telling us to kill them....
Me: Almost as if...they truly want revenge for what this town done to them...
How horrible...what did this town do to them to make them hate the residents here?
"They must be punished...Head to the shrine...to appease us...to end our suffering along with many others who didn't deserve this fate!"
Me:....Okay....We will.
A determined look came on my face.
Melody: Tommy?
Jake: Hmm?
"Thank You...."
Me: We have to help them. They're spirits are still trapped in these mines after they were killed...We must save them guys...and the only way we can do that is...
Jake/Melody: The sacred shrine...
I nodded.
We all ran further into the caverns but we put on the brake to see a small cave inside.
On the entrance, it had graffiti and paintings of indians tribe.
Melody: This it it...The cave to where...
Jake: The shrine is at...
Suddenly, we all heard growling....
Jake: No...That can't be...
We turned our heads sideways to see a familiar black monster nearby. The beasts opened it's mouth containing lots of sharp teeth.
Jake: Go! Inside the cave, guys! I'll hold it up!
Melody: Jake! No!
Me: Big Brother!
Jake: GO! I'LL MEET YOU WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER!
Jake ran towards the monster shooting it. Who knows how many bullets he has left!
Melody: Tommy! Come on!
Me: But!
Melody: I never say this before but...believe in Jake!
I slowly nodded as we ran inside the cave...
However...another obstacle was in our way.
Melody: You!
It was the Cult Leader that locked us up. His black robe was covered in blood.
Cult Leader: You...You brats ruined everything! I'm tired of you fowling my plans! You could've just died peacefully and our god would've forgiven your sins!
Melody: Screw you and your demon god! You have killed people and your blaming us for your crimes?! You psychopath! You monster!
Cult Leader: Enough Talk! You all die here! Tonight!
He pulls out some kind of strange knife and an evil grin came on his face as he charged at us!
Melody pulled out the fire axe and they clashed.
Cult Leader: DIE! DIE! DIE ALREADY! GIVE ME YOUR BLOOD!
Melody: SHUT UP ALREADY!
Me: Melody!
Melody: I don't know how much I can stall him! It's up to you now Tommy! Quickly! To the shrine! Up there!
I saw the shrine not too far away.
Melody: Hurry! Finish things here!
I nodded. Please be okay, Sister!
She gave me a smile as I ran off. The Cult Leader pulls away and started chasing her all around the cave.
Okay Tommy... Your siblings are buying you time! It's up to you now! This is your chance to finally be useful!
"Grooooooooooooooooowl"
Eep! Another monster came! I narrowly avoided it as I ran up to the shrine. The monsters were coming. They were staring to surround the cave!
The alter looked pretty strange. There was a strange purple fire coming out from the tip that looks like a small volcano.
I then noticed two plates that were set onto the shrine.
A pouch filled with powder, a long dagger, and...?
Me: Barry?!
My teddy bear was here?!
Me: Barry....You're one of the sacrifices...
Oh no...Which one should I choose?! Which one will finally bring to this nightmare!
"Revenge..."
"Kill Them"
"Get Our Revenge"
I have to hurry!!!! Jake and Melody don't have much time left!
What choice should I make?!
A/N: This choice will lead to the fate of the siblings and what's left the whole town. Choose Wisely...
A. Powder
B. Dagger
C. Teddy Bear
