Ribbon Ribbon
by Bethany
In a small suburban area, their lived a very rich, but small family. A man
called Robert Danford had married a lovely young woman called Talia Richards. After
getting married and moving into a large house on the country side, Talia gave birth
to a beautiful baby girl. After hours of fighting, the happy couple decided to call
their baby Natasha.
When Natasha turned 3, she started wearing a long red ribbon around her head. No
matter where she went she kept the ribbon on. Her parents were curious about the
ribbon but just pushed the subject aside.
When Natasha started going to school all the kids in her class would touch the
ribbon or try to pull it off. When they tried she would chant, "Ribbon Ribbon on my
head. Pull it off and you are dead!" The kids started to get scared. They never went
near Natasha except for a little boy called Harold. Harold didn't care if the ribbon
was a bit strange, He thought Natasha was gorgeous.
In High School Harold asked Natasha if she would like to be his girlfriend. Natasha
was so happy that she was his girlfriend. Ever since Harold stayed by her side when
the other kids were scared of her, she had always wanted him to ask her.
On their 3rd date, Harold asked about the ribbon. Natasha started chanting, "Ribbon
Ribbon on my head. Pull it off and you are dead!" Harold did not ask again.
After going out for 7 years Harold asked Natasha to marry him. Harold was staring at
Natasha's ribbon remembering about her chanting when Natasha said something. Natasha
said yes. Overjoyed, they started planning their wedding straight away. Harold
completely forgot about the ribbon.
The wedding was a blast. Late that night after the wedding Harold asked about the
ribbon. Natasha started chanting "Ribbon Ribbon on my head. Pull it off and you are
dead!" Harold decided not to bother his new wife with the stress of telling him why
she wore the ribbon, So he left the question and never mentioned it again.
Harold was sick. Very sick. There was nothing the doctors could do because it was so
serious. Harold was in so much pain. Finally after so many years Harold asked about
the ribbon. Instead of chanting the usual thing, she chanted something different
"Because Harold you are nearly dead, you can pull the ribbon off my head." Harold
reached up to the ribbon and pulled it off. Natasha's face fell off and underneath
was the face of a demon. Natasha Transformed into a big green monster and killed
Harold.
That afternoon when Natasha was back to normal she went out to town. There she met a
handsome young man who was very nice. The man and Natasha started spending time
together when the man asked about her ribbon. She started chanting "Ribbon Ribbon on
my head. Pull it off and you are dead!" The man did not believe her and took the
ribbon off her head. There was a scream and the ribbon fell elegantly to the ground.
