Chapter 3 – Finding Smith and Rose
Alvin's POV
It's has been five days since I left my brothers at home in this search of our sister. The ride down to our hometown was tough and I spent a day at my parent's graves. Just talking to them, laid some flowers and just spending the day. I hide their graves away in a tree and move Simon and Theo to a new tree. I did that so that they will never discover the graves. I might tell them the whole truth when I get home. I might.
Now though, I was in a small town ten miles away from my first tree home. I have learn that Tom Smith live in a small cottage on the outskirts. I am planning to break and enter. The cottage had two floors and a window was open in the back on the top floor. But the man had a security system. Time to hack into it. I learn how to by doing pranks on the school. Grounded for two weeks. Most things I do have a purpose. Opening the box hidden around back, I quickly disabled the system using my claws as cutters. Now it's time for the hard part. Using my claws, I started to scale the building. Once I slipped and nearly fell, but I quickly regain my balance and enter through the window. I entered in the bedroom. I looked around and found nothing related to Rose. But then I noticed that the basement's door was locked. I'll quickly pick locked it, again thanks to my pranks for this. As I entered, I was shocked to see several chipmunks locked in cages, But no Rose. Time to find out what happened here.
"Right then. What the hell is this?" I yelled gaining the attention of everyone in the room.
"Who are you?" said a male chipmunk. "When did you get here?"
"Alvin Seville and my mission is to find my sister." I said pulling out my phone. "Is there anyone called Rose here?"
"You mean the girl that escaped from here three years ago. Gave Smith a scar he will never forget." Replied the chipmunk.
"Did she have a birth mark and if yes, where did she go?" I asked full of hope that my sister was still alive. Three years was when me and my brothers became famous so she couldn't have found us at our home.
"Yes and she said that she was going back to the forest. Listen. Can you get us out of here?" said one of the female chipmunks.
I quick began to unlock all of the cages and let them loose. We quickly made our way out through the letter box and all of us scattered in different directions. I headed back to my bike and headed back into the forest to be surrounded by darkness. I was heading to a chipmunk village in the heart of the forest. Probably the best place to start a hunt. I can still find her.
Back at Dave's Two hours later
Brittany was tired. She and her sister had helped search the entire house with Alvin's brother for the last five days in order to find out what Alvin was doing. She was walking back to the kitchen when she tripped over one of the floorboards. She landed on her front and drew blood from her leg.
"Ow, That hurt." She said before looking to see what he tripped on. The floorboard was at a weird angle. Picking herself up and walking over to the place. She saw that there was a place where you could insert a chipmunk paw and lift it up. She looked up and saw Simon and Jeanette looking around in the Bedrooms. "Simon, over here!" She yelled over to the pair.
Simon and Jeanette came over and saw what Brittany had found. Simon kneeled down and pulls up the floorboard. Inside was a hiding place of Alvin's. It contained the red wallpaper he liked and a few posters. But what drew everyone's eye was a map of a forest with several pins. "Simon, where is this?"Said Brittany.
"I don't know." He said and noticing the picture on the wall. "But I know them." He said. The picture was showing the Chipmunks as a family after they were born. It shows Simon's Mum looking after Theodore who appeared asleep apart from the cut on the side of his head. Simon's dad caring for Simon with some food. Alvin was talking to a chipmunk that appeared to be female. "But who is that girl Alvin's talking to?"
Jeanette notices a journal on a desk. "Well, the answers could be in here." She said, pointing it out to Brittany and Simon.
With Alvin, One Hour Earlier.
Alvin's POV
I have arrived at the village. They were surprised to see me. They thought I was dead because they had seen our tree cut down. I left my bike down the road. They told me that Rose had come by here and asked about us. I now know that she lives in a tree a ten minute walk from here.
After about eight minutes, I could hear her voice. She was nearby and I can do it. I pause to listen to what she was singing.
You're beautiful, that's for sure
You'll never ever fade
You're lovely but it's not for sure
That I won't ever change
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
and baby all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is , I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is
Your faith in me brings me to tears
Even after all these years
And it pains me so much to tell
That you don't know me that well
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
and baby all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is , I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is
It's not that I wanna say goodbye
It's just that every time you try to tell me that you love me
Each and every single day I know
I'm going to have to eventually give you away
And though my love is rare
And though my love is true
Hey I'm just scared
That we may fall through
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
and baby all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is , I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is
I started to run towards her voice. She's so close.
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
and baby all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is , I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is
I can see her. She was sitting outside, gathering food. She had grown around to the same height as me. Her eyes were the same brown colour as me and my brothers. And her voice was sweet sounding like your favourite song.
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
and baby all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is , I don't know where my home is"I know where your home is." I said making her turn around.
"Alvin?" She said disbelief all over her face.
"Rose." I said a smile cracking on to my face.
And that is it for this chapter.
Again review in ideas because I am open to suggestion.
