CHAPTER 3: "flashes a night chilling"

Disclaimer: "Hey Arnold!" Not mine, is owned by Craig Bartlett and Nickelodeon.


Every nook and cranny of the old house, creaked sharply with each step, and, also, though no walk. Maliciously clear lights and fleeting lightning momentarily lit inside the place. Just seemed like everything will turn more and more obscure.

Helga was totally alone and afraid. His only company was the sound of his steps when walking. The outlook was bleak. Lila was gone, he had no idea where he could be the 'brush head', as she used to call him, let alone, his beloved football head.

Gerald could not believe what had happened: I was more frightened than before, now alone and without a trace of the girls or their best friend. He decided to seek help, together, rescue the blond.

Lila, being trapped, had mixed feelings: on the one hand, terror. It was a strange thing that had happened, and on the other hand, was curious. Who would be behind all this? Do kids would find themselves right? Maybe they ran the same fate and were caught. The concern of the girl, was rising.

Perhaps, by fear, and perhaps also by the appalling darkness of the site, could not distinguish the faces of his 'captors', but I managed to see that everyone was dressed. The supported on a couch, and rushed out by a gate, which, they locked. Lila had been locked in what would be a 'crypt', or a place that similar be-

Arnold, meanwhile, fell sharply by something like an underground tunnel, with great speed and violence. There were moments of panic for him, until, finally, a great peace filled his being. The journey had ended, and was now semi lying on a mattress, or something about the same, safe and sound. That place was very dark, but still, not very difficult to conclude that he had no way out.

Helga, again, was lost in her own thoughts.

- What the hell happened to Lila? Where did he go? Ash! Sure are a joke the dunces playing tricks and Miss Perfection! And if so,'ll pay! Chose to leave the place where he was, to look at the redhead.

The house had a kind of labyrinth construction where, any casual visitor would not be able to easily get anywhere without a map-minimally-.

As I continued walking, stopped to see the place where he was.

-I swear I've been in this stupid hall. Let's see ... Maybe I approached the dunces ... Wait ...

Helga noticed something that had he been there at another time, remember: A picture, bright enough to be-not seen too much in the dark, where there was a picture of a child. Helga looked at the picture. It was very striking, ie it particularly caught his attention because it was very 'family' portrait that he had. He had a photo of a child, a little hair, smile as forced as strange, at once, Machiavellian and frightening. They could very well seen it eyes because rather had them two 'lanterns' or similar, in bright whitish celestial tones, as if something was reflected in the eyes of the image and dazzle.

Helga stepped forward when-confidently believed that the image, followed her with his eyes. She turned on him, to return to see the painting, but to turn the box was not there: he had magically disappeared. Automatically, continued their march, but something stopped again: A figure of a person, a meter-across from her, appeared out of nowhere. It was guttural and unintelligible sounds, holding in his hands a small candlestick with a candle near completion. This person, though he could barely see, was much like the image a few seconds before, had gone mysteriously. This 'strange', winked at Helga, and vanished after that carrying out the candle. The corridor seemed darker now. She started running in time to:

- Ahhhhh! My God! This is criminal! Who sent me to get into this madhouse? help! Lilaaaaaa! Stupid girl optimist!, Where are you when you have fear and need encouragement?! Ahhhh! The only thing that would complete this disaster is that rats appear.

-Helga continued steadily running, screaming, complaining about what happened, and an increasingly powerful fear-

- I want to go to this stupid every NOW! HATE HALLOWEEN! HATES THE LEGENDS! HATE THE MYSTERIES, but still much more to HATE RATS! AAAAAAHHHH! Where will my Arnold, when most want to see? O my beloved!, What if you ate a rat? And if I never see you? Or worse! How about if I get that awful image and that spectrum, again? Ahh! The thought, terrified her so much that did not measure his words

- Arnoooooold!
Helga did not think what he said. The terror of the house, made her forget her own fear constantly that knew his secret / love for Arnold, and yelled what he saw in mind. What if someone was listening? Gerald and Lila could well make even Arnold himself.

Running still, turned a corner, the first that was-when he heard:

- Helga? Are you?

- Gerald?

-Yes, I am.

- Good to meet you! Said an agitated-blonde-girl

- Wow! Go ... Never thought I'd say that ...

- What? Oh, no. Do not get excited, man. I'm just glad to find another 'human'. I believe what happened to me.

-Oh, okay. I also see you. But if you want, still single. She gave sarcastically, to measure forces, before the very obvious panic Helga. - By the way, you were the one who shouted 'Arnold!'?

- What?! What do you mean? -hurry, again, with the possibility that Gerald had heard more than just 'Arnold' ... - Do not ever leave me alone, you fool!

-Oh, no. Then it must be my imagination ... Okay, do not wrinkle my shirt is new!

I bet you went crazy and silly. Obviously it's your imagination. Also, do you think I would ask for help from two idiots like you and the bass?

-Oh, how pretty, Helga. Why would you ask for help? What happened? You were not with Lila?

-That you want to explain. Lila disappeared ...

- What?! Arnold too!

- What Arnold too?! Oh, my God! Follow us! Here we are, Gerald!

- No! Tell me everything. The rescue them. Forward!

At times, in the same house, you could hear surrounding sounds and music. There were voices, giggles, which increased the climate of tension and uncertainty among his guests fearful.

- Where am I? All this is very strange. I can hardly see anything. Maybe, if I walk slowly and score things, I get out or know where the other
-Arnold thought, while looking for ways to find some hint of his friends

The child, moved with great care, because in the place where he fell, apparently had several objects that obstructed the passage. After a certain time of their way cautiously, came to a more enlightened. He was caught in what would be, 'a dead end'. It had no windows, doors, or passageway leading to another room. For a moment, stopped their march to think.

How to get out? It was impossible to return to the dark, and more, trying to climb the mysterious tunnel. A light opened in mind: A ventilation duct. Running a desk or chair, reach, and, hopefully, could enter it out of there. With more than force, moved an old chair, climbed on it and making small jumps, jumped notorious pipeline. Despite his complete darkness, it allowed him to advance-crawling-without any problems.

- Well?

- 'Well' what?

- What 'grand plan' you?

I have no one. I'm thinking.

- Great! Take your time, genius. Overall, our friends will eat rats!

- Do you want to forget about the rats, Helga?! If you invoke both, really will!

- AHJ! At least, the Head Ball always has a plan. You do not know what to do.

'Yes, is not it? You could go and ask. I think you could use ... -He said, raising an eyebrow

-To ask, first would have to find it! Wait, what do you mean?

- Forget it! Let there!

- So sure that we move more!

- Cannot you be a little less ... I do not know, 'unbearable'?

-And you cannot be less silly?

- Oh God!

- What, you think I'm happy to be lost with you?

'At least you're not rats.

Arnold advanced through the pipeline, until he came to a sector that caught his attention: In a room, sitting in a chair, was Lila.

- Lila! Are you okay? What are you doing here?

- Arnold? Are you? Where are you?

- Up here, on your left! In the ventilation shaft!

- Oh, my God! How did you get there? Are you okay?

'It's a long story, but in short, I fell through a tunnel that took me to a room with no exit, and huge. Then, I thought it would be good climb up the pipeline, to escape. And voila. How do you get here?

He was with Helga, walking, and suddenly, someone took me in the back, covered my mouth and I was brought here quickly. It was horrible!
- God! And you could not see who it was?

-No, Arnold. When they left, closed by a locked gate that only I could see that there were several.

- Costumes? Wow! This is crazy, Lila!

-Helga was right, this house is creepy.

Helga! Is he right? Will also be caught?

-I'm afraid, I hope not. I tried to scream, but to no avail. Never listen to me, when I covered her mouth.

Arnold began to worry.

- But do not you realize that?

- What do you mean? They are terrified! Not discover, do not be so stupid.

Want?

-But ... I decide, and we will do so. It's time to pay for what happened last year. Heh, heh, heh! You'll see!

- Do not want to see us now.

-Everything is perfect, we will see. Oh, and thanks for lending the house.

- What time the others arrive?

-Well, not much inside, the invitation said at ten, right?

-Yeah, I guess.

The 'authors' of the macabre staging, took care of every detail. Nothing could go wrong. Not even when the 'shock of their lives' halfway through. Fright and revenge, two dishes served cold, and in this case, in the dark ...

-Then let me clarify something. Did you see a ghost? Really? She said Gerald, unconvinced-

- I'm serious! She wore a small chandelier! The candle went out alone, and his figure disappeared from scratch. Ah! Now I remember, then, appeared lit candle on a chair! It was insane!

-Bah, Helga. Please! Who do you believe?

- I'm serious, jackass! You'll see! When you will be the first jerk to shout! Scare you so much that your pants will get wet.

-Ja, ja, ja. You make me laugh, Helga. I do not think scare me as much as when you saw me, eh.

Helga paled at that comment. Does the dark had heard more than they should? That would be worse than dancing with rats! Definitely worse.

-Lila, I need you to do the following: Try to move that chair you are sitting, so I can jump in with more 'support'

And with less risk-continued Lila-

-Yes ... And from there, we'll see how we do ...

She did as instructed, and jumped blonde with difficulty.

- Are you okay, Arnold?

-Yes, Lila, do not worry. I'm fine.

We ... We must put this chair said, pointing to a chair in the room-up from the couch and ... I know! I hold her, while you raise, and try to get to the product.

-Arnold, but up And how about you? I would not have enough strength to lift you ...
-Lila seemed stuck to that obstacle-

-Mmm ... You're right, let me think. I have it! Change of plans. You subject the chair, I'll climb and ...

- How do you reach?

-Hey, That's a rope?

- Yes, it seems!

- Problem solved!

Helga Gerald continued walking along, only now, more silent than usual.

- Is something, Helga?

- Ahh ...? What?

'You've been very quiet, are you okay?

- Yes! Nothing's wrong. Or maybe, yes. I want to leave this stupid place! And you just do stupid questions.

-Wow, wow, wow. Quiet, woman. I am sure that out of here. Furthermore, it is not as scary not being alone, right?

- ...

-Ghh, GHH, ghh ... Boo!

- Ahhhhhhhhhhh! They shouted in unison, Helga and Gerald, to the beat of a vigorous run, comparable to an Olympic race-

- What the hell was that, Helga?

- The ghost, silly! Did you see it? Now do you believe me?

- YES! And what you think. Ahhhh! Gerald now I was scared

This time, the ghost is not 'disappeared', but that looked like a person in disguise, if it looked good. But the children were so frightened at his sudden presence, time did not notice that it was someone I knew, and not a ghost. He had a flashlight that illuminated his face, starting at his chin, giving a truly chilling.

- Can you, Lila?

- Are you sure about this, Arnold?

-Of course, trust me. And we'll hold out.

-Okay, here I go ...

Arnold was on the vent, while at his waist, had tied the rope by which Lila would climb from the floor.

'Just a second, hold on Arnold. I'm coming!

Ahhh-Arnold-held with all his might-

-And Ready! Oh, Arnold! You are my hero!

-Thank you, Lila. No big deal ...

'Now we must look to the boys. I just hope they are well ...

-Yes, Lila ... Come.


-Gerald worry ... Do not tell anyone your wet little incident. -Helga said with sarcasm -Ja, ja, ja.

- What? That never happened, and you know, Pataki! Stop making! But, I did tell him of ...! -A Helga began to tremble jaw

- What do you ... You'll have, Geraldo?!

-Lo ... AS OF ... Irrational fear YOUR RATS! Gerald replied, fearing imminent death, by the look of the blonde

- Fiush! -Helga breathed calmly, inside-No one will be surprised, everyone knows it. What we do not know is that you are a baby.

- Oh, really? We shall see. What you do not know, is that you lose.

- Lose? Lose what?

-The $ 500.

- What? Do you think good time to think about the stupid prize? Do we then saw a ghost, you think about that?!

'Believe me, you all saw tonight.

-I, stupid of all colors, designed by Gerald Johanssen.

'At least I have good taste, right?

'Not as a comedian you're good.


-So ... You'll go to the dance with Stinky, Do not, Lila?

'Yes, yes, Arnold. If we left on time from here.

- Oops! Look at the time! Not long to start ...

You're right, but ... I guess if we understand a little late, is not it? Ja, ja, ja.

-Yes, kidnappings, monsters, ghosts ...

- Ghosts?

-Yes, I saw one with Gerald ...

And Helga saw a fat man with two heads.

- What a day! Wait, Are two heads?

-So ...

Well, anyway, I have no partner. Unless, of course, that the ghost is a woman, and wants to go with me, ha, ha, ha.

-Ja, ja. Funny, Arnold. But Helga, for example, has no partner ...

-Yeah ...

'You could invite ...

- To Helga? Oh, no. Never agree to go with me ...

-So it's not because they want to invite.

- What do you mean?

-That just would not do for fear of being rejected. Tell it will be fun as well, I think you will like the idea.

-Ehh ... Focus on out of here, first!

-You are correct ... Lila replied while still in the pipeline-crawling

- What are you doing?

-Looking stones or something similar to throw down.

- What is the point?

-See if I hear a noise, or calculate distances.

-It's amazing. You spend so much time with the big head, and makes you as dumb as him.
Gerald rolled his eyes.

-Do not go too well, chump. Why are you afraid? -Helga taught his teeth

'I am coming, dear Helga. Do not drink, do not say anything, ji, ji, ji-whispered to himself as he walked away

within a second, someone pushed him to a room, without being able to say anything.

- Phoebe?

- Hello Gerald!

-Hi ... How did you get here?

- What do you mean 'How did I get here'? The invitation to the dance said he was here. Furthermore, as not coming for me, I decided to come alone.

It was all very confusing to Gerald, at the time.


- Where did you get, brush head? Now appears, and stop hiding or I swear I'll kill you!

Helga walked a bit, to where Gerald was gone and found none.

Gerald? Where are you?! Oh, no, I was alone again! Ahhh! Sure appears stupid ghost! Damn, this day never ends! Arnold! Lila!

Helga started running, desperate. It seemed that someone was following her ...

-I ... You were right ... Ghh, GHH, ghh ... I come back to ... Let's see ...

Helga turned on itself, with all the courage possible, narrowing his eyes, to see either the 'ghost'.
Once he was close enough to her, Helga managed to beat him.

- Boom! - Hitting a ghost? That's something a bit unlikely, but it happened! Immediately, the specter vanished, without the girl did hear or see how to leave.

Helga kept walking, now furious

Lila Arnold was behind in the pipeline, with the rope still tied around his waist. When, suddenly, is taken of this, and pushed back hard.

- Ahhhhhh! Lila! Help!

- Arnold! Oh no! And while the redhead tried to save him, a 'gate' internal, in the pipeline automatically closed. The blond was still driven to go know where.


- What about me? Alone! A bloody day, which was supposed to happen next to Arnold. But no! First, I had to be with the plum-passes, then with Lila,-That is certainly not so bad I spent with them, and then with Geraldo, silly brush head. He escaped! And you, my beautiful angel?! Where are you? I swear if you were my final moments confess all that I have in me for so long! It's love! Love! Love!

-Ghhh, ghhh, ghhh ... - Boom! -

- Aaaaahh! - Plam!

Something fell almost on Helga.

- Auuuch! Arnold?!

- Helga?!

Lightning, thunder preceded strong, which made the moment a typical scary movie scene.
