Peachy and Brookey

Chapter 8

Brookey's prospective

          Peachy gasped and fell to her knees. I cocked my head to the side. What is she thinking..?  "Whats up?" I wondered. Peachy shook her head and opened her mouth, then closed it again. Peachy, I assumed, was speechless. She looked at Alvin then to the wolves, then, slowly, she turned her eyes on me.  "What are you thinking?" I asked, getting frustrated now. Peachy held the letter up then looked at Alvin, both their mouths gaping. I shook my head anger pulsing through me, fists clenched tightly. "Just spit it out, Peachy!" I yelled, Alvin springing back. Peachy held up the envelope. She looked from me to Alvin, and back again. I followed her confused gaze, wondering what was on her mind. She opened her mouth, lips trembling. She was as pale as snow that had freshly fallen to the ground on a cold winter day. But I knew she was to speak now; for she was too scared of my threats. "The letter it, it-" but Peachy was cut off by my sigh. I held out my hand for the letter, Peachy nodding, slowly let it slip out of her grasp. The words were in fine print, green colored, and -by the looks of it- sent by someone very rich. I pealed open the letter to, find in green print,

To whom it may concern...

Alvin you are reading this... and whoever else might be. I want you to bring this letter to the following, Peachy, Brookey, Lexi, Allie, and Stalkey. As you know they saved my wife from a terrible monster who could have destroyed a whole town.- yes i remember that, we all fought bravely- So I have decided to give them a little reward... In the bottom of the envelope, you will find a good amount of money; give to those girls and tell them it was a gift from me. Great thanks to the girls and you Alvin.

      I opened the envelope further to find a check for- "25,000 dollars..." I mumbled to myself. Confused I cocked my head. There must be a mistake... But how? Who else around here have the names of Peachy, Brookey, Allie, Stalkey, and Lexi? I shook my head. Stalkey and Peachy weren't very common names... My mouth gaped as I suddenly took in the fact that we now own $25,000. Peachy had shut her mouth and Alvin was now seated on the ground of the cave. "We better be going," I mumbled, shouldering Peachy. She nodded and we headed to the mouth of the cave. "T-Thank you." Alvin finally piped up. I glanced at Peachy then stared into Alvin's thankful and sorry eyes. "For what?" Me and Peachy said together. Tears rolled down Alvin's pale face. "Y-Ya saved m-me friend, it m-means a lot." He barley got the words out. I nodded then we were gone. As Peachy and I descended down the mountain, I stopped and looked back. My face felt hot and tears gathered in my eyes. "What's up?" Peachy said cheerfully. I whipped my and faced her hardened gaze. "Stalkey will be so disappointed, we've been gone so long..." I managed, holding back tears. Peachy nodded in understanding. "She will be proud, they all will. We, no, you brought back $25,000!" Peachy added, rather reassuringly. I smiled, she was right. I looked into the sunrise. "Beautiful isn't it?" I said, Peachy smiling with me. It really was beautiful. And I can't wait until I see the girls faces. They will be thrilled. And with that I  took off at a run. "Hey wait!" Peachy called behind me. The wind flowed in the wind, yes they will be, indeed, pleased.
