The Jewel Thief

1. The Jewel Thief By: Milleny

2. You were in your room getting ready for school. It was really foggy outside, but the weather man said it would get sunny in the afternoon. You look out the window and see the tree in your yard, in it was a nest. Suddenly, you see a strange man outside the window and decide to watch him. He looked up and saw you. You duck. After a few seconds you look up and see if he is still there, and he is. He starts heading for the forest but you don’t want him to get away, so you run after him. There was something that was strange about him.

3. You start running now as fast as you can, but you start feeling numb because it is so cold. Soon he gets away. Once he runs into the forest, he drops something that was small, but luckily you saw it fall out of his pocket. You pick it up. Behind you, you hear the bus leaving for school. “Oh man, I’m going to be late!” You say out loud. So you decide to take the shortcut through the forest. Right now, all you care about is getting to school on time, so you just shoved the object in your pocket. You get to school just on time. During class, you examine the object he dropped. It was a little gold key with a fancy design on each side. Tell your friend now Tell your friend after school OR

4. You couldn’t concentrate in class, all you care about right now was the key you were holding in your hand. After school was over, you decide to go home. You look to see what there was in the fridge for you to eat. But all you could find was some disgusting spinach. You didn’t know what to do with the key. Then you decide to call your friend over and tell her about what happened this morning. So after she arrived and after you told her everything. She decides that you should both go back to the forest and see if there are any clues that he left behind. You don’t go and stay home • Go to the forest OR

5. So now, its sunny, but the air was still freezing cold. You brought a flashlight, magnifying glass, and a baseball bat, just in case… So now, you’re walking through the forest with your friend. And you don’t find any evidence. So you keep walking further into the forest. You find a abandoned house in the middle of the forest. Your friend looks at you and you look back. You take the key out of your pocket and put it in the keyhole eloquently.

6. The door clicks and you push it all the way open. You take a peak inside. Nobody was in there so you decide to walk into the house. You see all types of gold jewelry and money laying on the ground. You realize that the house you came in, was a criminal’s. At first you thought that the jewelry and money was his, but after a few more minutes in there, you came to realize the truth. Dial 911 immediately OR Look around

7. But you don’t feel it’s safe. You beg her to stay and don’t leave. So you guys just go to the living room and watch a movie. After a few minutes, you hear someone in the back door trying to break in. You turn around and your heart starts beating quickly. You and your friend quickly dash to the nearest home phone when you hear the door break open.

8. Instead you rush to the basement and hide under the staircase. You quickly pull out your cell phone and dial 911. While you wait for 911 to pick up, you hear crashes and loud bangs on top of you. Your friend quivers beside you. You both were so scared not knowing what to do. You didn’t have anything to protect yourselves with. Go out the basement door and outside Stay under the staircase OR

9. You stay there frozen in fear waiting for them to come when you hear loud footsteps above you. You hug your friend tightly and watch the figure as he walks down the stairs. He doesn’t notice you though. Instead he starts rummaging in the boxes that you have. It seemed like forever for the cops to arrive. But, you hear the front door burst open and 2 police men come downstairs. The robber tries to find a spot to hide, but it’s too late. “Put your hands in the air!” One of the cops shouts.

10. The robber quickly does what he says and gets on his knees. The cops go up to him with their guns pointing down at him. One of them hold him down while the other pulls out handcuffs. You both come out from where you were hiding, and are still a little scared. The thief gives you the glare, but you know he can’t do anything to you now. Both the cops lead him out of the house and into the police car. For a long time after that there are no crimes around your neighborhood. THE END Go back to the beginning

11. You don’t feel it’s safe enough, so you both quickly dash to the door. You had trouble opening it since you were shaking but you eventually got it open. You keep hearing loud noises from upstairs. Your friend has her phone held up to her ear and finally an operator picks up. She tells the person on the other end they’re location and situation. You both run to your neighbour’s house and knock on their door like crazy. A man opens the door and lets you both inside. You tell him what happened and he was about to dial 911 but the cops showed up right when he picked up the phone.

12. You both watch the cops run into your house and after a few minutes they come out with the thief. You and your friend knows it’s safe to come out now. The police men leads the robber into the police car. Then turn to ask you some questions. After that, they drove away and the thief gave you the glare while the car drove away. You shivered but you’ll know you’ll be safe now. Go back to the beginning

13. You couldn’t stand not telling your friend. So you wait ‘till the teacher leaves the room. You quickly turn around to your friend who sits behind you. “What's up?” Your friend says. “This morning, I found this key-” And before you know it, your teacher is back and yells your name across the room. “What are you doing?” “Um, nothing I was just….” “Detention for both of you!” The teacher yells. She then turned to continue teaching the class. Your face turned bright red, everyone was staring at you. You feel so embarrassed.

14. So school’s over now, and your in class with your friend for detention. Soon, the teacher let’s you leave. While you walk out of the class you ask if your friend can come over to your place. Once, you open the door to your house, you notice everything was trashed. Then you hear a bang from the floor above you. You run upstairs and see your parents room door half opened. Then you see a robber in your parents room, he was rummaging through your mom’s jewelry box. Go stop him Go hide OR

15. You didn’t have time to think but just run downstairs to the kitchen and grab a frying pan to protect yourself. You knew it was stupid, but it’s better than nothing. Both of you guys go to the washroom across from your parents room without the robber seeing you guys. You wait till he leaves the room and sneak up behind him. Quickly you bring the frying pan above your head and whack him. He then faints and your friend dials 911. The cops arrived really quick and before you know it, the robber is now in the police car. THE END Go back to the beginning

16. You really wanted to look around, so you tell your friend to stay outside and keep an eye out to see if anyone is coming. You see a lot of jewelry lying around everywhere. But then you see the backdoor knob turning. You needed a place to hide. You signal you friend to call 911 and she does what you say and runs to hide behind the nearest tree. Follow your friend OR Hide in the house

17. You quickly follow your friend leaving the front door opened. While your behind the tree you hear your friend talking to the operator on the other line. You take a peak and see the robber. The robber seemed confused he looks around and notices someone was looking through his stuff. He walks to the front door and closes it. You tell your friend that you should go back to your house. But your friend says that the operator told you to stay where you are.

18. And soon, the police arrive. You tell them what happened and where the house is. They walk up to the front door and knocked it over. You and your friend are standing in a safe distance but still close enough to see what was going on in the inside. He looks afraid and soon he gets down on his knees, one of the cops hold him down while the other pulls out handcuffs. They then lead him to their car and as they drive away the thief gives both of you a glare, it made you shiver a little but you know you’ll be safe. THE END Back to the beginning

19. You knew that if you follow your friend, you’ll probably won’t make it and that he’ll catch you. Now, your turning you head looking left to right, back and forth and find a old closet. You quickly run towards it and pulls the handle. You slide inside and leave a little of the door open so you can see what’s happening. In your hand you were gripping tightly to your baseball bat. You prayed that he wouldn’t find you and at the same time hoped your friend is safe.

20. The thief is now in the house and he notices all his stuff was gone through and some things weren’t in the right place. He walks up to the closet you were hiding in. You are sweating and as he pulls the handle opened, he notices you. You grab tightly of your bat and swing it as hard as you can. He faints and you run towards the front door and outside looking for your friend. The police have arrived and you spot your friend near them. The police men walk inside the house and one of them pulls out their handcuffs. THE END Back to the beginning
