Elle POV.
“You see the red apples, they are the bad guys” Paul says setting some red apples on the table in front of me.
“I don’t like red apples” I answer him pushing them off toward the other side of the table.
“I know, I know, you like the green apples, it’s why you are the green apple, the good people” he says placing some in front of me, I simply take a bite of one of them while he keeps going with the explanation.
“But it’s not the red apples who did that, they were pushed by godfather, the really bad guy, he’s also a spy you know?” he explains.
“The godfather, like in the movie?” I ask him, he just laugh and nod his head yes.
“Okay so the godfather, is this cucumber” he says, I nod my head yes again, keeping on with him, while I took another bite from my apple.
“The cucumber boss, hates the green apple, cause they are green unlike the red ones who work for him, so he decided to plant a red apple between the green ones” he says placing a red one between my green apples, yuk!
“Hey! Meanie we don’t like red apples here!” I say trying to push it away, but he doesn’t let me.
“The red apple, he tries and beat one of the green apples, but the other green apples save it, and kill the spy red apple” he says finally taking off the red apple, I hate it.
“So we won?” I ask? Taking another bite, I can add some chocolate to my apple, it would be a great healthy desert.
“No, I mean yes. But then the cucumber boss got really mad, and angry at what happened, he came back in and abducted the green apple princess” he says stealing my apple from my hand.
“Hey! Give it back!” I say wanting my apple back.
“The other green apples came for the rescue Elle” he says keeping my apple out of my hand reach, I tried to jump on top of him wanting my apple back.
“Then give it back” I say angry at him, I wasn’t paying attention anymore to the whole explanation.
“Paul, give Elle her apple back” Nikolai says coming in for the rescue, along with Devil, they looked at the table filled with our explanation tool while I finished eating my apple.
“What are you two up to?” he asks looking at us.
“Pauly explained to me what happened” I tell him, I felt stupid, not getting what’s happening, and so I asked for help.
“And what did happen Elle?” Nikolai asks me, he sounded all serious, I decided to answer him just as serious.
“The godfather cucumber has been playing both sides against each other ordering the red apples to attack and destroy the green apples supplies of coffee. The head of the green apples who is married to the devil fruit both swear to keep their angel fruit out off what is going on. The angel fruit finds out what’s going on calls her friends to help they come with their melted chocolate for torture! For torture I’m telling you!” I explain to him, it’s what I understood form Paul plus some of mine, I’m not that stupid after all.
“What the…” Devil says while Paul laugh his bum off at us, he’s the one who started this.
“Cucumber? Apples? What?” daddy Nikolai asks, all confused.
“He’s explaining what happened, you know so I’ll do my story ending” I tell him, the story is based on all three of us, even if I didn’t want to admit it to them, but it is and I need an ending.
“Fine by me” Nikolai says picking one of the red apples.
“No! they are the traitors!” I say taking the apple out of his hand, giving him a green one instead, he can eat one of the good ones.
“Fine, fine, princess whatever you want” Nikolai says giving in, hugging me close while Devil was still looking at the things on the table.
“Hot chocolate for torture I like that, but why a cucumber Paul, you know there’s other option in life for things like this…” she says with a wink making me giggle, and Nikolai to choke on his apple.
“Devil, for the million time, I’m not gay…” Paul says making laugh even louder, she’s always at him like this.
“No shame here really” Devil tries to talk him out of it making me laugh even louder.
“Mind your necking” Paul says leaving the kitchen all angry while I laughed my bum off, I had the perfect ending for my story.
“What you’re smiling at?” Devil asks looking back at me, she really wants someone in the family to be gay? Or maybe she just enjoy fighting with him.
“I have the perfect story ending! I need coffee, chocolate and some cheese flavored chips!” I say, I can’t write without snacks, I always need the snacks.
“What’s the magical word?” Nikolai reminds me.
“I love you? Devil can give you a bj?” I ask him only getting an eyebrow raise “I mean please and thank you of course” I correct myself taking off from the kitchen before I get my bum in trouble too.
I ran back to my room, well our room, and got my laptop, I opened the laptop and starting typing away, my characters deserved a happy ending, I haven’t written about that night, about the accident, or how Helena and Paul got hurt, but now it’s time to write all about them.
When I left, it was with the plans of watching Shrek, to have a giant ball of popcorn with us, and all the candy we can find in the kitchen, we were going to stay up all night, not sleep until the sun comes up. We were almost home, the panic attack I just had, it got my whole body filled with adrenaline, I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t sit still, not now.
A car came from behind us, it started to beep and beep over and over again, the guy driving it must be drunk or something, he kept doing that, pushing us toward the side, until he got us crashing, I don’t remember much from the crash, it felt like I’m going through the whole panic attack was happening all over again, but then I felt hands pulling me out, I was sure it’s Paul or Helena, but when my eyes opened it was neither of them, instead it was some mad who’s too old, a guy I don’t know, why is he pulling me toward his car. I tried to fight him off, to push him away but instead of letting me go, he got my hands tied up, he took me toward the car and drove us off.
It wasn’t the worse part yet, the worse part was when he had the gun, when I saw him standing behind Devil and Nikolai, that’s why my heart almost stopped, I didn’t care if he killed me, I didn’t care if I don’t walk out alive, but he had them, he knew they’d come for me, he left my phone open for a reason, he got me to talk with them on the phone for this. This was a suicide mission, all of us would be getting out on stretchers with covers over our faces.
He almost kill him, he had the gun up to his head, Devil was busy with me, getting me all untied, but I had to do something, one of my hands was off, and that was enough, I could use that one free hand, I took the gun out of my lap, and shoot, I’d love to say I hit him. In the story I definitely hit him, I killed him, in real life, I’ve hit the wall too far away but that was enough to get his attention, it was enough for Nikolai to shoot him for real and killing him.
I think I’d end the story here, we all lived happily ever after now, the psycho, the princess, and the mafia king. By Elle.
“Daddy! I’m done! Can we order pizza to celebrate” I call to Nikolai, jumping up from the bed to get my real happy ending and maybe some seggsy time.
THE END.
HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS STORY!
LOVE U ALL.
CINDERELLA, THE BROKE PRINCESS.
