Help – The Conclusion
Contributed By - Sowmithra Prakash (12 Years)
Shay just had done more research about her abandoned childhood neighborhood. There were many rumors of it now being haunted. It still seemed as if it was the perfect hiding spot, but Shay didn’t want to tell the police just yet. Shay talked about going there with her husband, Daniel. Daniel warned her to not go, but Shay was stubborn. Daniel finally agreed under one condition. Shay had to go with at least two other people. Those two people were Daniel and Sarah, if she agreed. When Shay talked to Sarah, she agreed. Maya overheard the two speaking and wanted to come. She was now thirteen and a teenager, so she wanted some responsibilities. Maya was going to follow them. When her mom left, Maya climbed into the trunk of the car without Sarah knowing. Sarah picked up Shay and Daniel and started driving to where Jacob and Jackson could possibly be. This was the most dangerous thing Maya had ever done, except for when she was kidnapped and tried multiple times to escape.
Meanwhile Jacob and Jackson were figuring out where to hide. Jackson wanted to hide in their abandoned childhood neighborhood. When they got there, they realized that any person could easily see them. Jacob decided to go deeper in the neighborhood and hide near the mountains instead. They made a hideout in one of the caves. When they went to the store for supplies, no one recognized them. All was well, until Jackson heard a twig snap while he was getting water from the sprig. He thought it was an animal, but soon realized that it was a person. He ran to warn Jacob. Jacob didn’t believe Jackson, but still got up and looked out to see what was happening. Jacob indeed saw a person. He didn’t see Shay, instead he saw Maya.
Maya saw a person run. She had such a strong urge to follow the person or whatever it was. She was about to run, but she felt a hand on her shoulder and another hand covering her mouth from screaming. The hand felt familiar. It was her mom!!! Maya had been caught. Maya thought that she would be sent back in the car and told to sit there till they return, but she was shocked when her mom said, “Be quiet, don’t make any noise. We will talk about this at home, but for now come with me.” Maya told Shay, Daniel, and Sarah what she heard. All three agreed to tell the police at this point. However Maya disagreed. She thought that they would escape by the time the police came. She wanted to tie them up and then wait for the police to come. At first, everyone was okay with it as long as Maya waited in the car. Maya, being courageous and brave said, “I want to come with you guys. I deserve it. They kidnapped me, I want to see the two criminals being dragged away by the police after I tied them up with the help of you guys.” Maya was very, very stubborn. The adults had no choice but to agree. Maya showed them the way to the cave. Jacob saw more than one figure walking towards the cave, but they had no weapons. He decided that they would be able to fight them off. Jackson was going to hide, but Jacob was going to fight them off. When all the adults plus Maya reached the cave, it was dead silent.
Everyone except Daniel went into the cave. Jacob started attacking them right after they came in. The fight was going well until Jackson appeared out of nowhere and started helping Jacob. Suddenly, police rushed from every possible entrance of the cave. Maya was very grateful but wondered who called them. It turned out to be Daniel!! Now that the two criminals were in jail, everyone was happy and lived a peaceful life.
The End
