Trouble at waterhall lodge
It was around three in the morning and at a care home called Waterhall lodge, a young girl of about thirteen, maybe fourteen years old was slowly making her way down the corridor as the lightning outside lit up the room and she felt like some one was watching her in the shadows, following her every move and her breath quickened, expecting who ever might have been watching her to jump out and attack, but nothing happened so she continued walking to the kitchen door and when she got there, she put her hand on the door handle and was about to open it when a voice from behind her, caught her of guard.
"What do you think you are doing Abigail Cummingham?." The girl, Abigail turned around to see Mrs. Fisher, the manager of the care home stood behind her. Mrs. Fisher was a very strict woman who gave the children who lived at Waterhall lodge the creeps.
"I was just getting a drink of water Mrs. Fisher" Abigail replied. There was another roll of thunder and a flash of lightning as Mrs. Fisher moved towards the nervous teenage girl with a stern look on her face.
"You know very well that you are not supposed to be up after hours" she said in her very strict voice.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Fisher" Abigail replied in a small voice. She was about to leave but Mrs. Fisher stopped her.
"I am afraid that sorry isn't good enough" the strict but sinister looking woman said "all naughty children must be punished and you my dear have been very naughty, therefore, you must be punished." She then cackled as she backed Abigail up against the wall and the girl screamed into the night.
The next morning at thirteen bannerman road, Sarah Jane was reading the news paper just as Luke walked into the room and sat down.
"Anything interesting in the news?" he asked, nodding at the newspaper that she was reading.
"Apparently yes, a fourteen year old girl has fallen into a Coma at a care home called Waterhall lodge" she explained just as Sky walked in from the kitchen and sat down next to Luke.
"Did they say why she fell into a Coma?" he asked.
"Well, it says that she is the fifth resident to have fallen into a Coma without any cause, it said that the five children were perfectly healthy so it is quite a mystery" Sarah Jane explained "it says that Fourteen year old Abigail Cunnigham was found unconcious against the kitchen door by Mrs. Fisher, the woman in charge of the care home and she said that Abigail was perfectly healthy just like the other four children."
"Do you reckon it could be something to do with Aliens?" Luke asked "could they have like abducted these five kids, did experiments on them which left them Comatose."
"Could be, perhaps we should pay a visit to this care home and find out for ourselves" Sarah Jane pointed out as she put her newspaper on the table.
"What is a Coma?" Sky asked curiously.
"It's when someone falls asleep and they don't wake up for a long time" Luke told her "it's usually brought on by a blow to the head or a serious illness."
"So if I was to hit my head really hard, I could fall into a coma?" Sky asked.
"Well it depends on how hard you hit it" her older brother explained. Sky nodded as she took it all in before asking what abducted meant.
"Well abduction is when a person is taken agaisnt their will by another person" he explained "if it was a kid being taken agaisnt their will we call it kidnapping and if a person was taken by Aliens, we call it Alien Abduction." After Luke had finished explaining to Sky about being Comatose and Abductions, he, Sky and Sarah Jane went up to the Attic to see if Mr. Smith had any more infomation about the five comatose Waterhall lodge children.
"Do you know if the cause of these five children falling into comas is somethign to do with Aliens Mr. Smith?" Sarah Jane asked.
"According to my sensors, there does seem to be a trace of Alien activity inside the home and it has been used recently, possibly at around three am this morning" Mr. Smith explained.
"So, it was Aliens?" Luke asked.
"Well according to Mr. Smith's sensors then yes" Sarah Jane explained "Ok, Luke and Sky, get your coats, we're going on a family outing. We'll also bring Clyde and Rani with us too." The three of them then exited the house just as they saw Rani coming out of hers.
"We were just about to come over" Luke said "we're off to investigate something at a care home."
"Do you mean those five kids mysteriously becoming comatose, I read about that in the paper this morning" said Rani as she showed them the front page of the newspaper she was holding which also pointed out about the five waterhall lodge children becoming comatose mysteriously.
"We believe that it could be the work of Aliens and that is why we must go there and investigate it" Sarah Jane explained "now all we need to do is see if Clyde fancies coming along." Rani then got out her phone to ring him but Clyde said he wouldn't be able to go with them as he had the dentist but would join them after he had finished there.
"Is he coming with us?" Sky asked.
"He's got the dentist" Rani told the younger girl "but he'll be joining us once he's finished there."
"Well, looks like it's just us four for now" Sarah Jane inquired as the four of them got into her car. When they arrived at Waterhall Lodge, the four of them got out and Sarah Jane rang the door bell.
"This place gives me the creeps" Sky pointed out, looking at the building.
"Tell me about it" Rani agreed "it looks like it was built in the seventeenth century." Sarah Jane rang the door bell again and a strict looking woman appeared.
"Who are you?" she demanded.
"Are you Mrs. Fisher, the person in charge?" Sarah Jane asked. The woman nodded and asked Sarah Jane what she was doing there.
"I'm a journalist and I was wondering if I could talk to you about five of the residents who mysteriously become comatose for no apparent reason" Sarah Jane pointed out as Mrs. Fisher looked over her shoulder to see the three kids that she had with her and demanded to know who they were.
"Oh, this is Luke and Sky my kids and this is Rani their friend" Sarah Jane replied. Mrs. Fisher nodded before allowing the four of them inside.
"Wait here Miss. Smith" Mrs. Fisher told Sarah Jane before heading into her office.
"Do you think them kids who were comatose are in the hospital?" Sky asked "are you going to ask her if she thinks that it could be something to do with Aliens?"
"I don't know but there is something off about that Mrs. Fisher" Sarah Jane whispered just as Mrs. Fisher came out from her office.
"Would you care to step into my office Miss. Smith" Mrs. Fisher offered "we can do the interview in kids can wait out here until we've finished."
"What are we supposed to do?" Sky asked.
"Why don't you go and play with the other kids and the two older ones can wait out here" Mrs. Fisher suggested but Luke said he wasn't going to leave Sky on her own. He didn't trust Mrs. Fisher and suspected that she might be not who she seems so he told her that he was going to stay with his sister.
"Very well, you may go anywhere in the house but stay away from that room" the strict woman said, pointing at a door that said DO NOT ENTER. Luke, Rani and Sky nodded as and Sarah Jane entered the office.
"Please, take a seat Miss. Smith" Mrs. Fisher said as she closed the door. Sarah Jane sat down and Mrs. Fisher sat in the seat opposite her.
"Now then, why are you so interested about what has happened to five comatose children?" Mrs. Fisher asked "what do you think happened to them?"
"Well I investigate in Alien activity and I was wondering if the five children mysterioulsy becoming Comatose could be something to do with that" Sarah Jane pointed out as Mrs. Fisher raised an eyebrow at her and let out a small chuckle.
"Something do with what?" she scoffed "Aliens. Don't be ridiculas Miss. Smith, there is no such things as Aliens and there could be a perfect explanation as to why these five children became Comatose."
"What, five perfectly healthy children with no history of illness suddenly becoming Comatose?" Sarah Jane wondered "it's abit suspicious don't you think. Are you sure they didn't fall over and hit their heads, what about the last person to fall into a Coma, Abigail Cunnigham."
"She wasn't feel well the day before" Mrs. Fisher replied with a shrug "maybe she's got something seriously wrong with her." She then grinned and leaned back in her chair, not taking her eye of Sarah Jnae the whole time.
"You know what Miss. Smith, I think you're abit nosy for your own good" she said with a smirk.
"Oh yeah "Sarah Jane replied "well I think you know more than you're letting on, Mrs. Fisher." Meanwhile, Luke, Rani and Sky were getting bored of sitting around waiting so they decided to have a wonder around.
"What do you think is in that room?" Sky wondered, gestruring to the DO NOT ENTER door "do you think it could be Alien stuff?"
"I'm not sure but there is something really Fishy about that Mrs. Fisher" Rani pointed out "she must not want us to go in that room for a reason." Sky looked at the door suspicioulsy and wondered if Mrs. Fisher was some kind of an Alien.
"I don't know but there is something slightly off about her" Luke pointed out just as a little girl came walking round the corner, only to stop dead in her tracks when she noticed the three strangers.
"Are you three new here because I've never seen you before" the girl pointed out. She was a small girl of about Ten years old with shoulder lengh aurburn hair which was tied back in a pony tail.
"No, we're here with a lady called Sarah Jane smith, she's our mum and she's talking to Mrs. Fisher about the five kids that became comatose" Luke explained to her.
"Oh, I thought you were new residents" the girl replied.
"I think me and Luke are a little too old to be living in a children's home" Rani told her "what's your name?"
" Kayleigh Anderson" the little girl replied. The four of them exchnaged handshakes before Luke asked Kayleigh if she knew what was behind to the DO NOT ENTER door.
"I don't know" she replied "no body knows, Mrs. Fisher is the only person who goes into that room and she never lets us kids go in there."
"Is she always strict because when we first saw her she looked a little strict?" Sky asked "and have you seen her acting suspicious lately?"
"Not that I know of" Kayleigh replied "but she is really strict with us kids and gives out some pretty harsh punishments if we misbehave like if one of us is caught out of bed after hours, we have to sit in the punishment box for four hours." Luke asked Kayleigh what the punishment box was and the little girl said that it was a small room with a chair and a table and whoever got sent there had to sit on the chair for four hours with out nothing to do.
"What century does she think she lives in, the eighteenth?" Rani asked with a hint of sarcasm "why not just give them a telling off instead of locking them in a room for four hours."
"Mrs. Fisher is pretty old fashioned when it comes to punishments" Kayleigh told them before whispering "but a few weeks ago, I heard her talking about dishing out a new kind of punishment to the kids who are naughty."
"What sort of punishment?" Sky asked.
"I don't know, but whatever it was, it sounded pretty bad" Kayleigh replied just as Mrs. Fisher and Sarah Jane came round the corner.
"Ah, I see you've met Kayleigh Anderson" Mrs. Fisher said, putting her hands on Kayleigh's shoulders "hope she hasn't been bothering you, she can be very troublesome this one."
"She doesn't seem to bad" Luke pointed out but Mrs. Fisher scoffed and pointed out that if he knew her for longer, then he would know what a little terror she is. After she had sent kayleigh away, Mrs. Fisher began to escort Sarah Jane and the three kids out of the building.
"Is it ok if I use the bathroom?" Sky asked as they got halfway down the hall.
"Fine" Mrs. Fisher sighed "it's upstairs, to your left." Sky nodded and headed back down the hall but she didn't need to use the bathroom, she wanted to see what was behind the DO NOT ENTER door. Checking that Mrs. Fisher wasn't looking, Sky quietly crept to the door, put her hand on the handle and slowly opened the door to find five children aged between ten and fourteen years old, lying unconcious on five beds.
"So this is what was behind this door" Sky whispered to herself as she looked at the five comatose children and as she went to walk further into the room, she felt a hand clamp on the shoulder.
"What do you think you are doing in here?." Sky looked around to see Mrs. Fisher stood behind her with a very unpleasent smile.
" I Uh, tripped and accidently opened the door" Sky stammered but that didn't convince Mrs. Fisher enough and she backed the nervous child agaisnt the wall.
"Now that is the most unconvincing lie I have ever heard, you are like all children on this pathetic excuse of a planet, nosy, can't keep their noses out of other people's buisness and a trouble causer" Mrs. Fisher rambled as Sky gulped nervously and asked where Sarah Jane, Luke and Rani was.
"They are outside waiting for you, but they didn't see you walk into this room, only I saw you so I followed you in here when they wern't looking" Mrs. Fisher explained further. She now had a strong grip on Sky and the little girl found it impossible to break free from her grasp.
"Let me go" she pleaded "you're hurting me." Mrs. Fisher chuckled and kept her grip on Sky as she continued to struggle.
"What happened to all these kids?" Sky asked, gesturing to the five comatose children in the room "why are they still here, locked in this room instead of being in a hospital?." Mrs. Fisher cackled and told Sky that the five comatose children were trouble causers and that this was their punishment. That was when Sky began to realize the obvious, she remembered the girl Kayleigh telling them about Mrs. Fisher dishing out a new kind of punishment and it hit her like a tonne of bricks.
"You, you did this?" she asked in a shocked voice "you made these kids comatose because they were naughty."
"Bingo" Mrs. Fisher stated "at last, the little brat finally figures it out." Sky couldn't believe what she was hearing, this woman had put five children into a coma because they were naughty.
"How did you do it?" she asked, her voice shaking with fear as Mrs. Fisher chuckled and tightened her grip on Sky.
"Would you like to find out?" she asked "well I think you should because you have been a very naughty little girl haven't you, snooping around."
Outside, Sarah Jane, Luke and Rani where still waiting outside for Sky and were begining to get a little worried as to why she was taking so long until they heard a scream and all the electricity in the home went off.
"That sounded like Sky" Sarah Jane pointed out as the screaming died down "I think she's in trouble." The three of them then ran back into the home and found Mrs. Fisher dragging something out of one of the rooms.
"Where's Sky, we heard her screaming" Sarah Jane told Mrs. Fisher who ignored her and continued to pull whatever she had along the floor and Rani put a hand on her shoulder to stop her.
"Excue me, Sarah Jane asked you a question, where is Sky" Rani demanded until she noticed that it was Sky that Mrs. Fisher was dragging along "Oh my god, what have you done to her." The little girl was unconcious and was limp like a ragdoll as Mrs. Fisher held her up.
"She was being a very naughty little girl so I punished her for it" Mrs. Fisher replied "don't worry, she's still alive, just comatose but she won't be waking up any time soon so I guess she won't be snooping around and getting herself into trouble for a while." She then chuckled as Sarah Jane took a step towards her, ordering her to put Sky down and tell her if she was the one responsible for making the other five children comatose.
"Very well Miss. Smith" Mrs. Fisher replied as she let Sky fall to the ground. Luke picked her up and held her as Sarah Jane continued to question Mrs. Fisher about why she made five of the residents comatose.
"I caught them getting up to no good so I just did something that would prevent that from ever happening again" Mrs. Fisher replied "seriously, the children of your species sure do like to get themselves into trouble don't they?." Sarah Jane then watched as Mrs. Fisher transformed into a bat like creature which spoke in a hissing kind of voice, telling Sarah Jane that she was planning on making every single child on Earth comatose and that she wouldn't be able to stop her.
"Oh we'll see about that" Sarah Jane told her "we'll be going now and we will find a way to stop you."
"You are not going anywhere " the bat creature hissed "you are not going to interfere with my plans." Rani walked up to the creature and took a picture with her phone, causing it to shield it's eyes from the flashing and that gave Sarah Jane and the kids time to escape. When they arrived back at Bannerman road, Clyde had just arrived back from the dentist and he saw them getting out of Sarah Jane's car and Luke was holding a still unconcious Sky.
"Sorry I'm late, had to have a filling" he said as he ran up to them "so what did I miss?"
"We'll tell you once we get inside" Sarah Jane told him. When they went up into the attic, Luke put Sky on the sofa and the girl was still unconcious.
"Mr. Smith, I need you" Sarah Jane called out and Mr. Smith came out of the wall, asking Sarah Jane what he could do for her.
"Mr. Smith, I would like you to identify this Alien" Sarah Jane said, Showing Mr. Smith the picture of the Alien that Rani took.
"I am not quite sure but the creature is to be believed as a Vintaragon. They are Bat like creatures who have the ability to discuise themselves as humans and they are known for making other species Comatose by pricking them with a small needle like object in their fingers" Mr. Smith explained.
"So that's how Mrs. Fisher made those five kids and Sky comatose" Rani pointed out.
"Hang on, let me get this straight" Clyde stated "you went to this care home where the woman in charge is actually a Bat Alien that makes people comatose."
"Yes and apparetently she's planning on making everysingle kid on Earth comatose and we've got to stop her before that happens" Rani stated before realizing something "hang on, when I took that picture, she reacted quite badly to the flashing."
"That is because a Vintaragon cannot stand bright flashes and if they are exposed to too many then it will cause them to vapourize" Mr. Smith explained.
"But if we vapourize old bat woman, does that mean that the whoever was made comatose will wake up?" Clyde asked.
"Not exactly but I will be able to produce some medication which will bring them out of it" Mr. Smith revealed. Sarah Jane told him to get started whilst she, Rani, Luke and Clyde hatched up a plan to stop Mrs. Fisher and wake up the five care home children and Sky.
"Why would this Mrs. Fisher want to make everysingle kid comatose?" Cylde asked "what is her problem with them." Rani then explained to him that Mrs. Fisher found all kids troublesome and that they should be taught a lesson to make them behave.
"That's rubbish, not all kids are naughty" Clyde pointed out just before Mr. Smith announced that the antitode was ready to wake up the five comatose care home children and Sky.
"But she's not actually human" Cylde pointed out "how did this Mrs. Fisher woman manage to make her like this?"
"A vintaragon can make other species as well as humans Comatose" Mr. Smith informed "and unless they are not given the antitode that I have produced then they won't wake up. I suggest you give it to Sky first then go back to this care home to finish off the Vintaragon and wake up the other five who were made comatose." Sarah Jane nodded and walked over to Sky with the antitode, ready to bring her round.
"Will there be any side effects?" she asked "and how long will it take for her to wake up?" Mr. Smith told her that it would probably take her about ten minutes to come round and she might feel a little groggy aswell but she would probably be ok after a little while." Sarah Jane nodded and gave the unconcious girl the medication and then waited for her to wake up. After about ten minutes of waiting, Sky's eyes began to flutter open and she was confused to find herself in the attic.
"What happened?" she asked groggily "how did I get here?"
"We bought you back here" Sarah Jane told her "it turns out that Mrs. Fisher is actually an alien who's been making them five kids at the care home comatose."
"I know, that's all I remember before I woke up here" Sky replied before Sarah Jane asked her what was the last thing she remembered before waking up in the attic.
"I saw Mrs. Fisher turn into this giant bat creature" Sky replied "that's thel ast thing I remember."
"Well we've worked out a solution to defeat old bat woman" Clyde pointed out "before we escaped, we discovered that her species are sensitive to photography flashes which caused them to vapurize if exposed to too many.
"Well what are we waiting for, let's get back to the care home, finish off old Mrs. Fisher and wake them kids up" Rani pointed out. Sky went to stand up to go along with them but she was still weak from the venom that Mrs. Fisher had injected into her system and collapsed to the floor.
"I think you should stay here and get some rest" Sarah Jane said as she helped the girl back onto the sofa "you're not up to facing that woman again."
"Don't leave" Sky begged with a hint of fear in her voice "I don't want to be on my own."
"Well you've got Mr. Smith here with you, he'll keep you company" Sarah Jane reassured the little girl who nodded before going back to sleep. After Sarah Jane had told Mr. Smith to make sure that Sky was ok, she went outside where Rani, Luke and Clyde where waiting for her.
"Isn't Sparky coming?" Cylde asked as they got into the car.
"No, she's still quite weak so I suggested that she stay here and get some rest" Sarah Jane replied as she started the engine. When they arrived back at Waterhall lodge, Cylde commented on how creepy the place looked whilst Sarah Jane told them the plan.
"Ok, you three have to distract Mrs. Fisher whilst I sneak into that room with the anitode and wake up the five comatose children" she told them. The three teenagers then knocked on the front door whilst Sarah Jane went round the back to find a way to sneak in just as Mrs. Fisher opened the door.
"Well well, look who's returned" she said in a sarcastic manner "and I see the small child that was with you earlier isn't with you, still comatose I gather?"
"No actually, Sarah Jane has made an antidote that woke her up and she is going to do the same to them other five kids you made comatose" Rani explained as Mrs. Fisher hissed and transformed into her true form .
"She still won't be able to stop my plans" the Vintaragon hissed "that woman won't be able to make enough anitode to wake up all the children in the world once I make them comatose."
"Oh yeah" Clyde pointed out " but at least we'll be able to stop you. You see, we know that your species are sensitive to flashing lights and it can be very deadly if you are exposed to too many bright flashes." The three of them then smiled evily as they brought out their camera phones and the Vintaragon hissed in anger.
"Don't you dare" she hissed as the three of them took pictures with the lights flashing away and the last thing the Vintaragon said before she vapurized was "I will not be deafeated, I will not be defeated." Meanwhile, Sarah Jane was in the room with the comatose children and was giving them the anitode to bring them round when Luke, Rani and Clyde came running in to tell her that Mrs. Fisher had been defeated.
"Well that didn't take long" Sarah Jane pointed out.
"It was easy, all it took was three camera phones and some excessive flashing which caused her to turn into dust" Clyde explained just as the five children who had been comatose began to wake up.
"Well I guess everythings back to normal now" Rani pointed out as the five children looked confused and had no recollection of what happened.
"Do you reckon we should explain what just happened?" Clyde asked but Sarah Jane said they might not believe them so they decided to go back to the house.
A few days had passed by since the incident and Sky was slowly getting her health back.
"How do you think them five other kids are?" She asked.
"Well I reckon they're getting better, just like you are" Sarah Jane explained. Sky nodded and went to join Luke who was playing on the Nintendo Wii and Sarah Jane was relieved that everythign was back to normal.
Coming up next, A new family move into Bannerman road but there is something very strange about them and it doesn't take the gang long to realize that this family are not what they seem, that's all to come next.
