Something in the Shadows
Chapter 1
This is the fourth episode of my made-up Scooby-Doo series, "Scooby-Doo and Chillers."
The Mystery Machine came down a road. It was in a sunny place, a place that was admired but rarely visited. Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, Velma, and Chillers were in the Mystery Machine, in their usual spots. It was not long before they saw a sign that read: "Danger. Turn back."
Shaggy: Danger? Like, I'd say that's an invitation to leave!
Scooby: Reah. Ret's reave! (Yeah. Let's leave!)
Daphne: We can't turn back now. We've gone so far!
Fred: Daphne's right. And this road looks safe. We can keep going.
Shaggy: Well, okay. But I don't like any sign that says "Danger".
They kept driving down the road.
Chillers: Chee chee? (Are you sure this place is safe?)
Suddenly, they hit some bumps in the road, and the Mystery Machine bumped around.
Shaggy: Does that answer your question?
Daphne: Where are we?
Fred: I don't know.
Velma: It looks like a different road. And there's a house over there!
Fred: Maybe someone lives in it who can tell us where we are.
He tried to drive the Mystery Machine, but it wouldn't move.
Fred: Oh, no. Those bumps flattened one of the tires!
Velma: We'll just have to walk.
So they walked up to the house. It was huge and grey. It was surrounded in darkness, just like the place they were in. Fred rang the doorbell.
Chillers: Chee chee. Chee-ee… (I have a bad feeling about this house. I'm scared…)
Velma: Don't worry, Chills. It's just an old house. I'm sure everything about it is completely-
CREEEAK! The door opened-by itself!
Velma: -harmless?
Shaggy: Zoinks! A ghost opened the door!
Velma: Oh, Shaggy, there's no such thing as ghosts!
Shaggy: Then how do you explain the door opening with no one to open it?
Velma: I'm sure there's a logical explanation for it.
Shaggy: I agree. It's that a ghost opened the door! Come on, Scoob, let's get out of this spooky place!
Scooby: Ri'm rith rou! (I'm with you!)
They tried to run away, but Fred grabbed them.
Fred: You can't run away! We have to go in and find out where we are.
Shaggy: Like, I already know where we are! We're in a spooky place! Now let's leave.
Fred: We can't leave when we don't know where we are! We could get even more lost!
