"You found any trace of her?!"Gerald calls out in the dark."No!"Arnold replies with a voice full of worry. Both boys walk out the dark alley next to the restaurant."It's no use."Arnold starts."This is New York. There's probably many people missing,we won't be able to find a trace!"Arnold groans. Boy boys walk to the bus stop,ready to call it a night."What if Bob took her to a transportation place to take her back to Hillwood?"Gerald suggests."I guess you're right. I know Bob is cheap,thank to many angry rants from Helga,and he might've token the cheapest way back to Hillwwod. Airport? No that's too expensive. Bus? Maybe."Arnold says."What about the-"Both boys gasp."Sea port!"the exclaim in unison."Yea,I heard that there's a secret extremely cheap travel boat there from some other tourists back at Starbucks."Arnold explains."It think it's called-" "The Starlet."a gruff voice interrupts. Both teenage boys go silent and listen. A gruff voice can be heard talking on the phone in the next alley. It seems to be trying to be quiet,but fails at it."At the sea port? Take her on the Starlet boat when we're done? Ok got it Bob-er I mean boss."it says. Both teenage boys look at each other with mouths agape. The bus soon arrives and both boys scurry on it so they could tell the others. Arnold looks out the window onto the passing buildings as the bus drives.'Please..let us not be too late.'he thinks and the bus drives father.
Helga wakes up to a cold,soaking wet dress."Huh?"she groans and rubs her eyes."Get up sweet-cheeks."a deep voice says. She looks up to see two men,one brunette with an Italian haircut,and the other a blonde with long hair."It's time to get up. Now,you do know why you're here?"the brunette asks and grins evilly."Um..."she hesitates. She's now fully aware of her surroundings. The lights are on and the blonde is packing supplies whilst the brunette is still waiting for an answer. He slaps Helga."I'm your new guardian. Your father disowned you so you have to listen to me! You could say,you're my slave..."he rubs his hands together. Helga looks down to her soaked dress trying to avoid contact and shakes her head."No..."she mumbles. He slaps her again."I command you to look me in the eyes when I talk to you! Don't you dare ever say you're not my slave,you have lost your freedom!"he yells and moves her head up,holding it. She gives a mean glare"Why..are you doing this?"she asks,gritting her teeth."Because you're a shame honey...you have cursed the Pataki family and everyone around you. Oh you must understand no one loves you. As soon as that's installed,we're going to end you and do whatever we do."he explains and jerks her head back,letting go."Now nod your head in agreement."he commands. Helga stays as still as stone with her head down."Nod!!"He shouts in her face. She nods slowly,barely able to see,but noticeable."He kicks a bucket of food and water to her."Here. Eat up. We're coming later to beat you."he says. Helga chokes on her water and looks up."Yes,you're our slave. We do whatever we want to you!"he says and laughs."She really thinks we won't hurt her,the spoiled brat!"he says to his friend and they both laugh. They walk out the warehouse and shut the lights out. Helga eats slowly.'I can't believe Bob would do this.'she thinks.'I need to get out of here...or else things will get worse..'
"Guys,Guys,we think we found a lead!"Both Arnold and Gerald exclaim,to the classes."Where is she then?"Mr. Simmons asks."At a sea port,there's a cheap boat called the Starlet! We heard it from a man on the phone!"Arnold explains."Wow,I'm impressed."Rhonda says,looking both boys up and down seductively. They both shift uncomfortably."That's amazing Gerald!"Phoebe exclaims and runs up,giving him a hug on his arm and holds onto him. She gives Rhonda a look,marking her territory. Rhonda then looks at Arnold seductively. He shifts again under her gaze. Phoebe gives her an evil look but gets ignored."Hello Arnold!"Lila says,voice dripping with honey and hugs him,marking her so-called 'territory'. Rhonda backs off and walks away."I'm going to alert the police right away!"Mr, Simmons says and scurries off. Lila hugs tighter onto Arnold,making sure her,and her body,was noticed. Phoebe give a helpless look at Arnold. He slowly picks her off of him awkwardly."I'm going o hit the sack for a bit before we search."He says and quickly heads to his room. Lila stops him on the eighth floor hallway."Wait Arnold!"she starts and clings onto him."How about we spend some time together? It would be ever so great to talk with you!"she suggests with a sugar-coated voice. Arnold's last nerve soon withers away."Okay Lila,I don't know what kind of game you're playing,but I'm sick of it! I'm not your territory,nor do I even like you! You're being such a nuisance,and I can't handle it. It would be best if you just stayed away from me for a while okay?"he explains aggressively,gritting his teeth. Lila moves back from him,shocked at his sudden outburst. He leaves her and walks to his room. He unlocks the door,and slams it shut. Even as he cut his lights off and climbed into bed,Lila still stood shocked in the hallway. An evil smirk crosses her face."Oh you will be mine soon Arnold. Oh so soon..."she says to herself and giggles as she walks onto the elevator,going to her room.
The next day, Helga spends most of her time thinking of a way to get out. If she didn't get out now,bad things,seriously bad things,would happen to her. She shivers from disgust and looks around the warehouse. There was a vent in which she could escape through,but it was too high up. Sure she could stack the boxes that were to the right of it,but she was chained to the floor.'I could trick the dummy to set me free...'she thinks. She knew that blonde one with long hair was a bit slow by the way he spoke and how the brunette treated him. Right as the finished her last thought,he walks in through the doors,struggling to carry the bucket of water and food. He clumsily land the in front of her,food and water splashing on her."S-sorry."he mumbles and grabs a box. Sh smiles at him."It's okay."she says to him.'May as well be his friend so he'll have a better reason to let me out."W-wait y-you're not m-mad?"he stutters."Of course not!"she says sugar-coated. He gives a small smile."You're p-pretty neat. Too bad we h-have to k-kill you."he says.Helga frowns at his statement."I-I'm sorry."he says,noticing her frown."Smile you're pretty."he says and holds her mouth up. She gives a small smile."Daniel!!!"the brunette shouts angrily."C-coming boss!"the blonde exclaims back and hurriedly grabs the small box and runs out but not before saying a goodbye to Helga. She waves back. As soon as the door shuts she groans.'Now I just have to be his friend and he'll unchain me.'she thinks as she scoops the white rice and llama beans into her mouth with her hands.
It's been six hours of searching sea ports and they still haven't found Helga."Come on guys!We need to look for her!"Arnold exclaims. Both classes and police follow behind him tiredly."Okay this is enough!"Rhonda exclaims."We've been searching for her since four in the morning,it's nine now! I'm tired as I sure as hell won't waste anymore of my sleeping schedule on this crappy search!" "She's kind of right buddy."Gerald explains and lays a hand on he's best friend's back."We have been searching a long time for her. I think we all deserve a break,and who knows,she might've went back to Hillwood with her father on that boat." "But-" "We're going to search for her later. She's alright."Gerald interrupts. Arnold nods,giving in,and sighs. Everyone goes back to the hotel to rest.
"Urgh! Urgh! Let..Me..Out!"Helga shouts as she pulls on the chains. She was starting to go stir crazy and needed to get out."Wait till I get out of here,Bob is going to get what he deserves!"she says to herself. She was really starting to go crazy. She finally gives up and sits on the floor.'I hate Bib!'she thinks angrily. Then she gets a feeling. 'Wait...I have to pee!'she thinks and her eyes pop open wider.
Author's Notes:
I don't know,I just wanted a funny ending because most books don't really say when a character has to pee. Plus things were getting rather depressing. So I'll update as soon as possible because I have to do my last two finals and I'm finally FREEE!! But the bad side is that I have to be stuck with my homeroom while the upper grades test right now,and I don't like my homeroom teacher. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and is having a good life,because I'm certainly not right now with finals. Anyways, like,comment,follow, and ARNOLDXHELGA FOREVER!!! ~Brooklyndiva02
