Hello guys. In English class we had to write a short story in the moment and I thought I share mine with you, because I think it´s not to bad. And some backround information. We had three classes time for that. And I actually had a Harry Potter fan fiction. But then my teacher said, that she never read or watched Harry Potter, so I decided to write a different one. Enjoy :)
An unexpected incident
I was just on my way back home. I´ve been on a buissnestrip in New York City and now I was heading back to Los Angeles after five days. I was sitting in the airport gate waiting for my flight, while I was trying to check my mails. Then I noticed this really good looking man in his black suit. He had short brown hair and was really tall. He seemed like he was looking at me, but then quickly checked his phone.This man was probably trying to get signal for his phone as well. He sat himself right next to me and said “ Uggh. You can´t even get a signal at this airport. Why am I even paying for the first class lounge. I am Goodwin, Alexander Goodwin”. I tried to find a good answer, because I´d never thought he would even speak to me. “ Hello. My name is Vanessa Walten. And I totally agree. I can´t even check my emails here!” “What a beautiful name”he answered, “you must come from a rich family I guess. I heard the name before.” “Yes I actually am” I answered, while I was focusing on his beautiful face. We kept talking for a while, till they finally called our flight. “Finally “ I said. There are lots of reasons to fly first class. One is, the better service and the way more important reason, I don´t have to share my seat with a scruffy stranger. I prefer a comftable flight. Alexander offered to take my handluggage and I didn´t resist. I just polished my nails. We walked together to the plain and went to our first class section, in the front and sat down. While I was already sitting down, I was watching the people from the economy class, how they walked by, probably looking jealous at me, rushing to their poor seats. I noticed this one guy, who nearly looked like a homeless men. I wonder, how he can afford a flight ticket at all. He said “oh sorry madam” while he tripped over my bag. What an idiot. Can´t even keep his feet away from stuff, that is not his. He walked by and left to his seat, just like everybody else. The plane started in the air and I sat back to relaxed. After two hours, which I spent with sleeping, reading the vogue and talking and flirting with Alexander ,we were nearly there. I noticed that the homeless looking men was walking around and it looked like he was on the way to the front of the plain. I wonder what he was up to. Alexander exused himself too, and walked in the front to get us some drinks. In some moments you just know, if it clicks between two people and this was definetely a moment. I thought I would stay single forever, but Alexander could really change my life. I was sinking in my thoughts, while I was looking out of the window, happy like I haven´t been in a long time. I saw, that the airplain sinking, even if I thought it would take us another hour. But maybe the pilot was taking a faster route or something like that. I heard whispers around me. It seems that I was not the only one, wondering about the early landing. I wanted to ask one of the stewardesses what was going on, but I just saw them standing there huddling together with horrified faces. I could catch words like “gun”, “kiddnapping” and “forced pilot to land right now!”. That was horrible. my heart was beating really fast. What if the kidnapper will kill someone and the bigger question. Who is the kidnapper? I bet everything I have , that it was the homeless looking guy. He looked suspicious from the beginning. Oh I just hope Alexander will be ok. He just wanted to get us drinks. I hope he is alright. Right before we landed I heard a stewardess saying “Dear passengers. Please stay calm. Our pilot just has been forced to land, because we have a kidnapper on board. The kidnapper said, he just wants one person to take along, and he will leave everyone else in peace. Please stay calm! Everything will be alright. We have everything under control”. The voice went off. The plain was full of panic now. Everyone was scared. Kids were crying, people looked really frighted. I mean, who expects that their plane is getting kidnapped. But if the kidnapper really just wants one person,why don´t we just give the person to him and then we will all stay uninjured. While I was thinking about the situation, a stewardess came straight to me. She probably wanted to make sure that I am ok. “ Mrs. Walten?” “Yes, that´s me”. “We received the news, that “ she took a short break and took a big breath, before she continued talking, ”the kidnapper wants you”. No this was impossible. Me? This can´t be real. This is just a big dream. My face was getting pale and I was too shocked to answer. This homeless men. He is the kidnapper. The look he gave me, when I walked by. “ We want to make sure that you are safe” the stewardess said, “if you could please follow me quickly .” I wanted to grab my bag, when she answered “you can´t take your bag with you, that would be too dangerous!” “What?” I answered surprised. “ I can´t even take my bag. It was a two thousand dollar bag. Of course I want to take it!” “Mrs. Walten you have to understand. We don´t have enough time to discuss this here and now. We have to hurry to get you safe”. But it was too late. The masked kidnapper was running with a gun in his hand in my direction and put his arm around my throat. The airplane already landed. He was pulling me to the exit. He pointed the gun to everyone who was in his way and said “Get out of the way or I will shoot you all” in a really aggressive voice. But this voice sounded familiar. And the smell. It seemed that I recognized it before. No . No way it couldn´t be. Now I recognized his shoes too. There was no doubt. The kidnapper was Alexander! He was forcing me to the door now, and pushed me outside, after he forced the stewardess to open the door. I was panicking now. What am I supposed to do. I am helpless. No one will help me, because he would shoot everyone, who just gets closer to him. We were standing outside now, while Alexander was looking panicky in every direction. “My ride should be here by now. Why are they not here!”, he was talking to himself. He was holding the gun now strait against my head and said, if I should make any moves, he will kill me right away. I still couldn´t realize what was going on. He seemed perfectly normal to me, one hour ago. I even thought about going out with him, but I think this was history now. My heartbeat was still very fast and I could hardly breathe. II was wondering, what was going on inside the plane. Did someone plan to do something to help me? My guess was, that everyone was just looking outside the window, to see what was going on. We were in the middle of a desert, so if there should be coming a police they better hurry, because if Alexanders company arrives first I will be screwed. Alexander was not really paying attention to his close enviroment. He was just looking tensed in the landscape, hoping for a car to arrive. I saw a shadow first and then everything went really quick. The homeless looking man, did a confusing thing ,but Alexander couldn´t move freely anymore after seconds and the gun way laying on the ground. Right after that the pilot was coming out of the plane, grabbed a gun and held it against Alexander. “Good job Sirius”, the pilot said. Finally I knew the name of this man, who eventually didn´t seem to look to bad. His long black hair fell in his face, while he was still holding on Alexander. Five minutes later a car arrived. But it was the police. They said that they catched alexanders company, before they could reach this place. The police told me that Alexander Goodman is a psychopath and they thought he would´ve been healed. His real name is Peter Pettigrew and he is after rich women. That explains everything. That´s why he wanted to know about me and my money. I thought he would just be another business men. He was one of the first persons who understood me. Maybe if he comes back from the hospital and prison. Maybe we could build a life after that. No, said another voice in my head. He is a criminal. You can´t do that! And I think this voice is quiet right, even if Alexander was still a good looking men. But I might have a chance with Sirius. He doesn´t look to bad either, if you think about it again. I went to talk to him. “Hello” “Hello” he said. “I can´t tell you how much I am thankful for saving my life. I could be dead by now” “No problem” answered Sirius cool. “ I have the black belt in taekwando. I was just walking in the front of the plane, to get a nice view outside the window. You know. You get the best view in the front. But then I saw everything happen. And to explain my clothes. Someone stole my whole bag yesterday and everything I had left, was my flight ticket and twenty dollars. So right now I´m still wearing my clothes from yesterday, when I was helping homeless dogs. But to be honest. It´s actually quiet comfortable and I couldn´t have fought as good with jeans“ “Wow that sounds interesting and as a approach , I´d like to invite you for dinner” I answered. “No thanks madam”. I saw how you treat people and I don´t think I want to spend more time with you , then I have to. I saved your life, because I would be really nasty to not do it, because I know how to do that stuff. I work for the CSI. But anyway. I guess I will see you around someday.” I didn´t expected that answer but answered a short “okay” and walked away back to the plane ,which was leaving soon after that. We landed safely and in the end I didn´t even get hurt. Even my fingernails looked perfectly fine in the end.
