Author's Note: Well, I've always liked the Monster Blood books since I was a kid. And over the summer I dug up my old books...and decided I really wanted to write a fic.
This takes place sometime between Monster Blood 3 and 4, which I haven't gotten to read yet. ;_;
Disclamier: I don't own Goosebumps. If I did, I would be a millionaire and therefore probably not writing fics...I'm poor, so no sue. Seriously. I HAVE NOTHING OF MONETARY VALUE!
---------------------------
Evan Ross' eyes opened wide. He was breathing very rapidly, and was soaked in his own sweat. He had been dreaming about it again -- the Monster Blood. Monster Blood was kind of like Jell-O, as far as looks went. It was green, slimy, and all-around icky. It even tasted okay. Kind of lemony, as Evan had found out.
But that's where the similarities ended.
Monster Blood was alive. It was, to put it bluntly, evil. It had been created by an evil witch named Sarabeth -- sort of. She had been the one who commanded his old Aunt Kathryn to cast the spell on the can of goo he and his best friend Andy had bought.
Evan shuddered as he thought about that slimy green gunk and things it had done. It would make anyone or anything that ate keep growing and growing. It had made his dog Trigger about the size of a small monster. Cuddles the Hamster had grown to about ten feet tall and practically destroyed Evan's school. And Evan himself...became a giant about three stories high.
So, it was pretty understandable that night after night, Evan would have nightmares about that icky goo. Almost every single night. He even had daynightmares about the stuff! In fact, he could barely stand anything green anymore. At least his mother had finally started remembering NOT to buy the green Jell-O-O.
Evan glanced at his clock. Might as well get ready for school.
---------------------------
"So, do you want to come with me?" Evan asked.
Andy sighed and shook her head.
"Can't." she said sympathetically.
Evan shook his shoulders. "Oh, well, off to get poisoned or shrunk...or whatever."
Andy put a hand on his shoulder. "Hang in there, buddy."
Evan nodded glumly.
Andy removed her hand and turned to face Evan. "Well, I have to go. See you at school tomorrow."
"Yeah. See ya." said Evan, waving as Andy walked away. He sighed and turned in the opposite direction toward Kermit's house.
Kermit was Evan's mad-scientist cousin. He liked to spend his days hanging out in the basement with his chemistry set instead of going outside like a normal kid. And boy was Kermit a brat! He loved to get Evan into trouble any way possible. He had to do everything Kermit said or he'd tell his Mom that Evan was being mean to him.
Fortunately Kermit wasn't quite so bad since the latest Monster Blood fiasco. The one where Evan had grown into a huge giant. Of course, if it wasn't for Kermit he would still be one.
Brat though he was, Kermit was a genius. He had invented a shrinking formula a bit before Evan turned skyscraper-size. After some mishaps with the mixing, Kermit got the formula right and Evan managed to shrink down to his normal size.
Which was the only reason that Evan was still baby-sitting the little creep. Usually, Evan would bring Andy with him since Kermit was a little bit better when she was around. On occasion. You never really could tell, except when Kermit got this little smile he always got whenever he got Evan and Andy into trouble. It was a very creepy smile.
Evan pulled his head out of the clouds and opened the door to his Aunt Dee's house. Then he screamed.
Kermit was unconscious, and lying a pool of blood.
