The Survivors of Seymours Bay

1- It Begins

Bob's POV:

September 3rd. My anniversary. It's today, and I'm out with Linda while Teddy watches the kids. Jen wasn't in town, so Teddy is babysitting again.

I couldn't afford much, but we're sitting at a romantic restaurant on the pier on King's Head Island.

"Oh Bobby... I can't believe you splurged on me like this." Linda blushes.

I smile, looking at my gorgeous wife, who is wearing a fancy purple dress and heels.

We sip wine and eat steak and potatoes, while she becomes mesmerized by the beauty of the ocean, while I am mesmerized by her. Her crystal blue eyes that shine like pearls at the bottom of the sea, her hair, like curtains of silky black velvet.

Catching me staring, she laughs. "What, Bobby?"

"You're just...absolutely breathtaking." I grin.

"Aww...well you know...you're not too bad yourself." Linda grabs my hand across the table, giggling.

"What do you say we have a little fun after dinner? We've got the car...all to yourselves...alone." I suggest.

"Oooh Bobby...you must be a little tipsier than I thought." She teases.

"Maybe." I mumble cheekily.

Sex on the mind, we finish our dinner and pay before heading straight to the car where I delicately remove her dress.

Before things can go further, my cellphone rings.

Teddy's name is on the caller ID. I have three missed calls from him already.

"Crap!" I gasp. Quickly answering, what I hear terrifies me.

"Kids! KIDS STAY BEHIND ME!" Teddy screams.

"Teddy?!" I yell. "What's going on?!"

The line goes dead. "Oh my god!" I climb into the drivers side and shakily insert the keys in the ignition.

Speeding home, Linda asks what's happening. "Is it the kids? Oh god, what's wrong with them?!"

"I don't know, he hung up or something!" I reply anxiously. Gripping the steering wheel, it takes a few agonizing minutes to get home.

Tina's POV: not much earlier

"So you're telling me you're allowed ice cream for dinner? Are you sure?" Teddy asks skeptically.

I groan nervously as both of my siblings nod.

Teddy is about to take the ice cream out of the freezer when suddenly there's a loud pounding at the door.

"I'll get it." I say.

"Nope! I'm your Uncle Teddy and that means I'm in charge!" Teddy announces, getting the door.

I look down the stairs to see a sickly looking man. Teddy greets him warmly, but I don't recognize him.

"Oh hey Charles!" He smiles.

Charles body slams Teddy, making me yelp. "Teddy!"

"Charles! Get off of me! What the hell?!" Teddy pushes the man off of him, slamming the front door and locking it.

"Kids, just stay away from the-" Before Teddy can tell us to get away, Gene screams at a sight out the window.

Louise and I look to see what he's afraid of, seeing Charles suddenly run away from our front door and across the street to attack Jimmy Pesto next.

"What's happening? Who is Charles?!" I ask Teddy. He looks panicked.

"Charles Shark! He's a marine biologist! He's a pal of mine! I fixed his plumbing one time! He's not like this!" Teddy explains.
