Story Time - one

Hi folks! This blog is quite abandoned since we don't need it anymore. I know this is so random and not related to our blog, but I just wanna share Connie's work here. A note : this story is adapted from “Ransom of The Red Chief” story. Enough typing I guess, here it is. Tadaa, enjoy :)!

The Ransom of Queen B

My friend, Jess Hunter and I lived in a small house in Surabaya, Indonesia. My parents lived far away from me. Jess’ dad died 2 years after Jess’ parents were separated and her mom suffered from mental disorders and was taken to a psychiatric hospital.

We used to be successful workers. After many years of hard working, we got really tired of our busyness. We underestimated everything, even the little things. We ignored some of our customers; we didn’t come to work for days and did many more irresponsible things. One day, our company went bankrupt. We closed our company. In the year 2014, we owed a guy named Ash Buck, the most well known mafia in the country, a hundred million rupiahs. Jess spent all our money to pay for her mom’s hospital charges. Jess told me that we should borrow a hundred million rupiahs from that guy. We didn’t know that we had to pay our debt in 2 months or he would hunt us and kill us. He didn’t even tell us before. Well, there’s nothing we could do.

We had nothing left. We had sold everything we had and we moved to a smaller and cheaper house. Jess told me to find a job on my phone. I searched for a job but nothing suited us. I don’t know where this idea of kidnapping came from but I told Jess anyway. Jess agreed and she said that we should kidnap the child of Lizzie Madsen. Lizzie is a billionaire. We thought that she’d pay a ransom of a hundred million rupiahs to get her daughter back.

We searched all night to find Lizzie Madsen’s address. We found her address. Jess wrote the address and we went to sleep. The next day, we went to Lizzie’s house. We saw Lizzie go away from her house, leaving her daughter alone at home.

“This is a good opportunity, Skye!” Jess said. She grabbed my hand and ran into the house.

We sneaked in and saw the little girl playing with her dolls.

“Hey there! What’s your name little girl? By the way, cute dolls! Hey listen, I have lots of dolls for you! Want to come with us? We have some sweets for you too!” I said.

The little girl tilted her head, “I’m Beth, Um… Who are you? What’s your name? I don’t know you, mommy said that I’m not allowed to talk to strangers!”

“Uh… I’m Skye, Skye Horvath. This is my friend, Jess Hunter.” I said.

Jess kneeled and looked at the girl. “I’m your mom’s best friend! She sent me here because she won’t be back for days. Your mom said that you should come with us”

Jess made the little girl believe. Well, the plan went smoothly. We walked back home. At night, Jess told me about the little girl.

Jess frowned, “Skye, let me tell you something, I don’t know how to explain this but, that girl, Beth is acting so weird, like she has been possessed by an evil spirit!” 

 “Huh? What do you mean? What do you mean like she has been possessed by an evil spirit?” I said.

I was very confused and I stared at her for a moment.

 “I mean, I… I mean like.. She slammed a table, she… She kept shouting and hitting me!” Jess said.

 “What did she say, Jess?” I asked, handing her a cup of warm tea.

She mimicked the little girl and said, “She said… Behold! I’m the Queen B and I will kill you all hahaha! I am the new ruler of this house! Bow before me!”  

“Jess, She’s just a little girl. She just wants to have some fun, you know.” I said with a sigh.

Jess didn’t respond to what I had just said. I looked at the little girl and she was asleep. I walked into my bedroom and I slept next to Jess. The next morning was total chaos.

“Ah! Skye, help me!” Jess shouted, trying to wake me up. I was sleeping and I thought that I was dreaming so I ignored her screams.

“Skye! I’m begging you please help me!” Jess shouted again.

“Oh, what is it Jess?” I said, getting up from my bed. “What the…”

I saw Beth holding scissors.

She said, “Shut up! I will slit your throat if you don’t.”

“Beth, hey, do you want to play dolls with me? Leave my friend Jess alone.” I said, trying to take the scissors out of her hand.

Beth and I played dolls for about an hour. I went away to buy some food. I left Beth and Jess at home. When I went back home, I saw Beth laughing and running around. I had a really bad feeling about it.

“Beth, I brought you something to eat! Um, where’s Jess?” I said.

She replied, “Don’t worry, she’s having some fun in that room!”

She locked Jess in our bedroom. I quickly unlocked the door. I was shocked. My jaw dropped to the floor. Jess ran out of the room. I saw a few snakes in the room.

“Jess! How did Beth get these snakes?” I asked.

“How am I supposed to know? We have to get rid of these snakes now!” She said.

I grabbed a stick and threw them in trash. I threw the trash away as far as possible.

“You okay, guys?” I asked them.

“Yeah I’m fine. Skye, I want to discuss something with you, privately.” She said.

We went into our bedroom, locked the room and I sat next to Jess.

“All right, what do you want to say? Let me guess, is it about Beth?” I asked.

She nodded and said, “Do you think it’s worth it to kidnap this little kid? I mean, would her mom pay us money to get her back. Look, I haven’t even seen any news about a missing girl.”

“I can’t say about that Jess. Let’s just hope her mom would pay us to get Beth back.” I said.

I asked Jess to call Beth’s mom, demanding the ransom. She used private number so Lizzie wouldn’t know who was calling.

“We have your little girl, Beth. We needed a hundred million rupiahs for her return. If you pay the money, your little daughter will be returned. If you don’t, you will never see your daughter again and one day you will see your daughter’s corpse. If you agree to these terms, I’ll give you time to think. I’ll call you back before sunrise.” Jess said.

Jess called Lizzie at 4 a.m.

“I don’t know who you are and where you are. But let me tell you something, you don’t really know who I am and whom you’re messing with. I can do whatever I want and I can get you jailed or killed. My husband is a cop! Now, tell me where she is.” Lizzie said.

“Uh… hang on a second.” Jess said.

Jess told me and I was a bit scared.

I asked her, “What should we do Jess? Should we return Beth? But if we do, we will not receive a hundred million rupiahs and we can’t pay our debt to Ash Buck!”

“There’s nothing we can do Jess, if we don’t return Beth, we’ll get ourselves killed!” She said, hitting the table.

I said, “Well, if we don’t pay the debt, Ash Buck will hunt us and kill us, you know!”

“Argh! I don’t know Skye! You decide!” She moaned.

I was stressed out and I decided to return Beth back to her mom.

Jess grabbed her phone and said, “Fine. We will return your little daughter, Beth. Meet us at 14:30 at the Eax Café.”

“Good.” Lizzie said. Lizzie hung up the phone.

We brought Beth and waited outside until we saw Lizzie.

“Beth, run into the café! We’ll meet you there!” I said.

She ran into the café and met her mom. She was happy and she hugged her mom. We ran away quickly before Lizzie saw us.

We discussed paying our debt to Ash Buck. We couldn’t find any better job than being a dishwasher. I worked at a restaurant as the dishwasher. Jess worked as a waitress. I only got a hundred thousand rupiahs every day. Jess got two hundred thousand rupiahs every day. We only had 1 month and 3 weeks left to pay our debt.

The day had come. Ash sent us a text saying that we had to pay our debt that day or he would hunt as and kill us. We packed our stuff and we ran away from our house. We were walking nonstop. The next day, we saw Ash walking on the road we were walking and he was holding a knife. He ran towards us and grabbed Jess first. Jess punched Ash and escaped. We ran away as fast as we could.

“Phew… I think we’ve lost him.” I said.

“I thought I was going to die, Skye.” Jess said.

“Well, you’re not!” I said, holding her hand.

I knew Ash would try his best to kill us. We found an abandoned house and we lived there.

Finish reading? How is it? By the way her actual story wasn't like that. There are some changes because one of our friend doesn't like if her character died, idk why. I personally like the story where one of the protagonist die or disappear or whatever but oh okey.

Pardon.my.english.and.see.ya.later.
