warning ; kidnapping
summary ; kidnapped by some dim-witted ghouls in the neitherworld, you're being used as bait to try and blackmail beetlejuice into doing their bidding.
One minute, you were minding your own business—just trying to get through the day—when a bunch of bumbling ghouls decided to whisk you away like some kind of ransom package.
Now you were stuck in some cave, shackled to a rock wall, in the NETHERWORLD. While the "geniuses" who kidnapped you tried to work out their plan. Their low growls echoed as they huddled together, whispering nonsense about Beetlejuice and how they could finally get him to do what they wanted.
The problem? They clearly didn't understand who they were messing with.
"Think this'll work?" one of the ghouls hissed. "If we got the breather, he's gotta come runnin'!"
"Yeah, and then we can make 'im cough up the goods! You know, take over his whole—"
The sound of distant rumbling cut them off, and your heart skipped a beat. You recognized that sound: Beetlejuice's arrival.
The ghouls, however, weren't as thrilled. They flinched as the walls of the cave began to shake. "What the hell's goin' on?!" one of them shrieked.
Suddenly, the ground burst open, and Beetlejuice appeared, a manic grin plastered across his face as he surveyed the scene. His eyes flashed with a dangerous gleam. "Well, well, well... What do we have here? A bunch of dumbass ghouls who don't know when to quit?"
You couldn't help but smile as Beetlejuice strolled in like he owned the place, which, to be fair, he basically did.
The ghouls panicked, scrambling to their feet. "W-We got your human! If you don't do what we say—"
Beetlejuice cut them off with a sharp laugh, his voice taking on a deadly edge. "Yeah, about that... You made a huge mistake." With a snap of his gaze, the chains holding you shattered, and you were free in an instant.
He turned to you, a cocky grin still on his face. "You good, babe?"
You nodded, rubbing your wrists. "Yeah, just a little annoyed."
"Same," he growled, turning his attention back to the ghouls. "Now, lemme teach you idiots a little lesson about blackmail and kidnapping. Rule number one: Don't fuck with me or the people I care about."
Before the ghouls could react, Beetlejuice snapped, and the entire cave seemed to shift. The rock walls morphed into twisted faces, and the ground beneath the ghouls' feet became a swirling pit of green sludge.
"No, wait!" one of the ghouls shouted, but it was too late. Beetlejuice flicked his wrist, and they were sucked into the pit, screaming all the way down.
Beetlejuice dusted off his hands like it was nothing, then turned back to you, his grin softening slightly. "Sorry about that, babe. Shoulda gotten here sooner, but y'know, I had to make it dramatic."
You laughed, shaking your head. "It's fine. You made quite the entrance."
He smirked, throwing his arm around you. "C'mon, let's get outta this dump. I'll treat ya to a real show." He looked at you, and just like that, you were back in your house, safe at last.
