Endings (3/3)
C.) Teddy Bear.
Tommy reluctantly looked at his bear. He's not sure what it could do but he's willing to take any chances.
Tommy: (Okay...Here goes nothing...)
Barry...
Tommy: Barry...Are you sure...? Is this...really the way...?
He also grabbed the powder and held it up towards the fire along with Barry...
Getting ready to the sacrifice...
Tommy: "Ancestral Indians...Revenge is yours...!"
He dropped both the powder and the Barry into the fire.
Tommy:...Goodbye Barry...Thanks for everything...
Everything went quiet in the cave. Tommy waited and waited until he begin to hear the voices again.
"Revenge is ours..."
"Dustville will be destroyed!"
"Thank You Tommy..."
Jake: Tommy!
Jake and Melody both ran towards Tommy holding him as the siblings lookedy up in horror to see the cultists staring at them in shock.
Cult Leader: You...What did you brats just do?!!
Suddenly, the whole entire cave begin to shake. Tommy then begin to hear screams echoing everywhere. He whimpered as he grabbed Barry from the plate and held it.
Tommy: (Please protect me Barry...Please protect us...)
Meanwhile...in Dustville...
The screams of the townsfolk grew more and more louder as they all begin to pay for their sins and crimes aganist humanity. They all begin to burn in some mystical fire.
Their screams echoed everywhere as they cried bloody murder as they comburst.
The monsters all begin to mysteriously vanished...
The surviving cultists all begin to scream in agony as hands emerged from the ground and begin to suck them in.
Blood splattered everywhere as the siblings covered each other.
Cult Leader: DAMN YOU LITTLE SHITS!
As a last resort, the man pulled out a knife only to get captured by the ghastly hands who begin to tear him apart.
Cult Leader: No! NOOO-GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Like an earthquake, the rumbling continued for the next few minutes...until all went quiet again...
.....
Jake:....
Melody:.....
Tommy:....
Jake: Is...Is it over?
Melody: I...I think so....
Tommy: *Nods*
Jake: Tommy...did you?
Tommy: I sacrificed Barry along with the gun powder in the pouch...He said...it was the only way...to save us.
Jake: So...the bear really did saved us?
Melody:....At this moment, I'll believe anything.
Tommy: It's over...Dustville is finally paying for their crimes...their sins...
Melody: So that means...
Jake: Yeah...The Nightmare is finally over...and we survived...
The siblings all looked at each other with small smiles on their faces. They managed to survive this entire ordeal...together. They then begin to hug each other...laughing, crying, sniffling.
They're all alive...Still alive...
Jake: It's thanks to you Tommy...We're still alive....
Melody: Thank you...Thank you Tommy *Sobs*...
Tommy: H-How did you managed to escape the cultists and the monsters?
Jake:...It's a long story...right now...
Melody: Yeah...I'm so tired....of talking, walking, and basically everything...
Tommy: M-Me too...
Jake: Alright. Let's get out of this cave...
.....
Old Lady:....
Siblings:....
Old Lady: *Nods*
Once they made it outside of the caverns, the Old Lady, Howie's Grandmother, was waiting for them.
She's...the only survivor of Dustville now.
After centuries of blood, war, and revenge. The Lost Native Tribe have gotten their revenge and now they can finally rest in peace.
What remains of that place is nothing more but a ghost town and the residents there have all perished for their sins.
Jake: Howie...?
The Old Lady shook her head no solemnly...meaning her only grandchild didn't make it.
He was killed by Dudley...who in turn, was killed by one of the monsters of Dustville.
Tessa and Misty were gone too...
The siblings didn't say anything else as the Old Lady led them to the missing blue car that once belonged to Tessa on the desert highway.
Since Jake knew how to drive, he'll take care of things from here.
Old Lady: Like I said before...
Sometimes...if one can't escape a nightmare, then they must get rid of it by putting themselves into it. I wish you kids luck from whatever the gods take you now...
Jake: Yeah...what's going to happen to you now?
Old Lady:....I only have days left to live...I've been alive for quite such a long time...
Jake:...
Melody:....I see....
Tommy: T-Thanks...for everything...
Old Lady: .... Here's a little parting gift.
Tommy's eyes went wide once she pulled out a familiar stuffed teddy bear.
Jake: No way.
Melody made a smile as she looked at Tommy, who delightfully took the present.
Tommy: BARRY!!!
....
Ending 3 - Escape
With only scrapes and bruises, the siblings gave a farewell to the Old Lady as she...along with what remains of the town, disappeared as Jake drove away.
With some gas and directions with a map, they finally made back into their hometown.
They made it to Police Station and explained their story. The officers were alarmed to see them because they were declared missing over the past week.
They were surprised to learn about their events in Dustville ad well.
Once the Police went to go check out such a place. What remains of Dustville now was an highway filled with burned corpses and skeletons.
The Police questioned the siblings but couldn't link them to anything.
After a couple of days, the siblings were now staying with relatives after they learned what their parents had done to them.
To the siblings' horror, it's revealed through a testimony that the parents were indeed holding twisted intentions to get rid of them in order to get financial benefits from their insurance.
The Police pressed charges against the parents for child neglect and abuse.
Whatever inheritance they had was given to the siblings.
Despite the horrors they went though, Jake, Melody, and Tommy Parker were now closer than ever.
Sure, they still have their few sibling fights here and there. But it's surprising to others that they can't go through a day without each other.
Although, even though they have survived the ordeal...
That didn't mean their troubles were over. From their horrific experiences, the siblings were now diagnosed with multiple symptoms and mental trauma.
Jake is now suffering from PTSD and have nightmares about the deaths he witnessed. He claims to see the soul of a certain person haunting him in his dreams.
Melody is now has Bi-Polar Depression. She would sometimes cry herself to sleep and would lash out on anyone who dares mentioned what went down in Dustville. Only Jake and Tommy could be able to calm her down. She later becomes a vegetarian due to the horrific experience of seeing gore and raw meat.
Tommy...went through the worst out of all of them. Like Jake, he has nightmares about the shadowy figures and the monsters he witnessed..he believes he can now see the spirits of dead people moving around his bed at night. His crying continued to get worst and worst everyday. He becomes more emotionally unhinged and screams if Jake and Melody are not with him. As he gets older, he begins to start damaging himself and continues to go through emotional suffering.
As time goes by, the siblings continued healing from their emotional trauma by seeking therapy every month.
As they get older, Jake, surprisedly finished college and is now a tattoo artist at age 27. He made enough money and brought an apartment room for him and his siblings to stay in.
Melody, became a story writer at 24 and begin to tell everyone of her experience when she was younger. She also begin to open up a little to try and help those who are going through some mental trauma. Her latest horror novel "Nightmare Town" became a smashing hit.
And finally...there was Tommy...He begin to break out of his shell and become a new man of his own. Despite being only 18, he wants to study archeology and pursue this career while finishing up high school. His siblings are supporting his dreams.
While days gone by...despite them moving on their lives. They still can't forget about all they ever have seen in that town.
The lives that were lost...
The horrid scenes they have seen...
The perturbing noises...
The terror of seeing monsters...real or not.
They still can hear the whispers of shadowy people here and there.
Even they are now trying their best to survive and live their own lives...
The stupefying experience will forever haunt the Parker siblings that was once known as...
Nightmare Town.
