Chapter 46 Here I come

The flight back to Supul Academy was boring, long, and nondescript.

When it landed down in the parking lot, crushing many cars, Dante peered out from a nearby bush.

“Excellent. My love is back in the country! I was about to book a flight out to The Queens of Persia!” Dante thought.

The doors to the plane opened, and Maria emerged out after the weird guy with the slimy nose.

“Oh hay,” Dante whispered tenderly.

He had set up a pitfall trap outside of Maria’s own airplane. When she went to check on it after Dante set off the alarm, she would fall into the trap, and into his arms.

“Here I come!” Dante said, and punched Maria’s plane window into tiny shards. He then leaped into a shrub.

Maria’s head came bobbing into sight, after the alarm sounded.

“Yes!” Dante whispered.

Followed by 4 other heads.

“Drat! Reinforcements!” Dante cursed.

“Ew who broke into my planeWAAAAAAAAAH!”

The ground beneath Maria’s feet caved in, and Maria toppled down into the trap.

Dante had to suppress his evil laughter.

Conrad, Logan, Vicky, and Sara fell inside the put after Maria like a wild pack of lemmings.

“Curses! Additional victims! That’s less than ideal,” Dante muttered darkly.

“Help! We’re in the ground!” 5 voices shouted.

Dante groaned, and emerged from the shrub.

“Attention!” he shouted down the pit. “For $20 a piece, I will release 4 of you!”

“@#$@!!! Let us all out of here, now! Please!” Maria called up.

“That’s it! Just for that, I’m going to release everyone except you!” Dante shouted.

“That’s a little harsh!” Maria called back.

“Hay wait a minute!” Sara called. “I know who you are! You’re voice! You’re intelect! You’re long nose sticking over the edge of the pit! You’re Dante!”

Dante swore.

“Prove it!!” he yelled.

“Um I just did!” Sara called back.

“Release us, or we call the police on you!” Conrad challenged.

“I’ll release everyone except Maria,” Dante bargained.

“Why do you only want to keep Maria?” Vicky wondered.

“Cause she mouted off to me,” Dante quickly lied.

“No!” Logan said. “Aren’t you like, obsessed with her or something?”

“Yeah, @#!$@#!!!” Maria called.

“911, please,” Conrad spoke into his phone.

“Fine!” Dante gave in. “Let me knit you a rope ladder that you can climb up!”

*2 hours later*

“Here!”

Dante threw the rope ladder over the edge.

Everyone climbed up it silently.

“Thanks,” Maria said sarcastically when she reached the top.

“No prob, hon,” Dante said. “No prob.”
