Chapter 6
Back with Alvin:
As the dust cleared Alvin was left standing there with his arm outstretched and an open paw. It was a few seconds before Alvin lowered his arm. "Wh-what did I just do?" Alvin exclaimed in his head as the dust finally cleared. In front of him was a crater that (to him) looked to be 15 feet in diameter and about a foot deep. All the trees within a 20 foot radius from the crater were knocked down.
"What the heck man! That was overkill!" The voice exclaimed. "I know that!" Alvin exclaimed back. "Then why did you do that?" The voice asked. "I-I don't know why okay!" Alvin yelled feeling tears well up in the corners of his eyes for what seemed like the 100th time today.
"Well you'd better find out soon, or else you could end up killing someone you really care for!" The voice stated. Alvin raised his paws and looked at them. "What's happening to me? Why can't I control my powers?" He asked himself.
He once again felt tears run down his face. "I-I can't stay here! If I do, I'll just end up killing someone, or something else. It'd be better if I just disappeared..." he said. He sniffed as he began to remove his red hoodie. "Wait! What are you doing?" The voice asked.
"I can't stay here! I need to disappear for a while, while I try and figure out what's wrong with me." Alvin said as he finally removed his hoodie and then wiped his eyes. He then ripped a strip of it off and placed that strip on the ground next to the crater.
"Do you think this is the best way to do this? If you leave that piece here the people that are probably going to arrive here soon will think that..." The voice was cut off.
"...That I was killed in the explosion? That's the point! I need people to think that I'm dead, and stop looking for me, so they won't get hurt." Alvin said as he felt fresh tears fall down his face.
"But what do you think will happen if that person tells the media that AlvinSevilleof the chipmunks has been killed in an explosion? Brittany would eventually find out." Alvin froze at that. He was too worried about protecting everybody to think about how Brittany would fair emotionally if she believed he was dead. "She's probably worried enough as it is. You did run out on her when she needed you before."
"Brittany..." Alvin thought. There was a pause. "She needs you right now. You should go back to her." The voice said. "B-But I can't go back. If I do I'll be putting my family in danger. Besides, they probably hate..."
"Stop right there! I've heard enough of that bullshit! They don't hate you, and nothing you can do will ever make them hate you! They love you and always will!" The voice yelled. "They're worried about you. They need you there with them! If you don't care enough to return to them and walk away now, you'll be no better than Viper!"
Alvin gasped at that. Suddenly his mood changed from sadness to anger. "Don't you EVER compare me to that piece of shit Viper! What that scumbag did was unforgivable!" Alvin angrily exclaimed at the voice. He clenched his fists as he continued. "He betrayed everyone he knew, including his best friend, the one person in his life that cared enough to listen to his problems! He chewed up, spit out, and shit on their trust! He toyed with their emotions just for entertainment, and then left without remorse! Then, to make matters worse, he returned and slaughtered them all for some sick thrill!"
There was a pause and then Alvin said "Only one survived that night, the one person he pitied, the one person who, according to him, wasn't worth killing! His best friend, me!"
A sudden and very powerful, but very short lived shockwave shot out from Alvin's body and slammed into the ground, punching a small crater (about three feet across) and creating cracks that radiated outwards. "I'll never forgive him for what he did! If I ever see him again I WILL kill him!"
There was silence for a good minute or so before the voice spoke up again. "If you don't want to be compared to him then go to your family. Like I said before they need you right now." Alvin sighed as he finally calmed down and unclenched his fists. "Your right, whoever you are. My family is probably worried about me. It's time I went back home."
"That's what I wanted to hear." The voice said happily. With that said Alvin put his hoodie back on and started back in the direction he came from.
Little did he know a lone black chipmunk had seen everything from atop a nearby tree. "Hehe, you've gotten strong Alvin. I'll be looking forward to our next encounter." A wicked smile crossed the black chipmunk's lips. "However, even though you may have gotten stronger, you're still not nearly strong enough to give me a challenge. As of now you're still not worth my time, old friend." The black chipmunk laughed lightly before he disappeared completely.
An ominous wind blew through the trees and brushed against Alvin's back. When he felt that, he turned around and looked up to the top of a tree that was behind him. "What is it?" the voice asked. "I thought I just saw...never mind." Alvin said as he turned and walked away.
Back with the others:
Brittany, Jeanette, Simon, Theodore, Eleanor and Frank were currently walking through the woods. "Where could that chipmunk be?" Brittany muttered under her breath.
"Hey! I found chipmunk footprints over here!" Theodore said. "How can you tell they're chipmunk prints?" Frank said as he approached Theodore. "I think we can tell our own kind's footprints." Brittany said as she joined the others next to Theodore.
"Oh right! Heh, I knew that." Frank said as he scratched his arm. Brittany and Simon both rolled their eyes. "He had no idea." They both thought at the same time. Once that thought passed they turned their attention to Theodore. "So which way are they heading Theo?"
"By the look of it, they seem to be heading this way!" Theodore said as he pointed to the southwest. "Alright then! Let's go guys!" Brittany said once again taking the lead. The others rolled their eyes as they followed Brittany.
It wasn't too long before they noticed that several tree branches were on the ground. "We must be getting close to where that explosion happened. Be careful guys." Simon said as they approached a clearing.
Once they got past the final layer of trees they stopped dead in their tracks. Their mouths dropped in surprise. There in front of them were knocked down trees and an enormous crater about 20 feet away. "Wh-what the hell happened h-here?" Eleanor exclaimed.
"Th-this must be w-where the explosion occurred..." Simon stuttered. The others just stood agape at the sight in front of them. "S-Simon, h-how big is th-that cr-crater?" Theodore asked. "I-I don't know. We have t-to get closer for me t-to find out!" Simon said. The others nodded and made their way to the crater.
Once they reached the edge of the crater Simon looked around carefully. "Well just by looking I can t-tell you it's over eight feet in dia-diameter." Simon said.
"Over eight feet! No way!" Frank exclaimed. "What kind of explosion would it take to excavate a crater of this size?"
"Like I said before, a-about a 2,000 pound TNT or ANFO ex-explosion could create a crater of this size." Simon said as he adjusted his glasses. "Okay, but the question is what caused the explosion in the first place?" Frank said. "I don't see any broken pipe lines, so it couldn't have been a BLEVE!"
The others turned to him with confused expressions on their faces. "Wh-what's a BLEVE?" Simon asked. "BLEVE stands for Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion." When it seemed like the others still didn't get it frank said "It's basically a Fuel-Air Explosion."
"Oh! Okay, I get it!" Simon said. The others nodded in agreement. "Well if it wasn't a BLEVE then what was it?" Jeanette asked. Simon scratched his head. "It may have been a stray meteor."
"Or it could've been an explosion Alvin caused." Theodore said. "I doubt that! It's highly unlikely Alvin could've created a crater like this by any means." Simon said as he began to walk around the crater's rim.
As he was walking he stumbled across a piece of red fabric. Curious, he picked it up to examine it more closely. It was then when he realized the piece of fabric came from a sweater of some sort, maybe a hoodie. After looking at it closer for a short period of time he suddenly felt his heart drop.
"G-guys!" Simon said. The others looked at him. "What is it Simon?" Brittany asked. "Did you find something?" Simon didn't say anything as he looked around frantically. Then out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a red substance nearby. Fearing the worst he reached out and hesitantly touched the substance.
By doing so he realized his fears were correct. The substance was wet. It was blood. "No..." Simon thought as he felt tears well up in the corners of his eyes. "It can't be..." He began to subtly shake.
"Simon, what's wrong? Why are you shaking?" Brittany asked as she approached him, growing more worried every second. Again Simon didn't say anything. He just continued to shake and cry silently. Upon realizing he was crying she rushed to his side.
"Simon, what's going on? Why are you crying?"Brittany asked loudly causing everyone else's eyes to widen. They then rushed to Simon's side. "Simon, tell us what's wrong!" Jeanette asked as she crouched down beside him. Simon slowly reached his paw toward Jeanette.
Jeanette took what was in Simon's paws and looked at it. Immediately she realized it was a piece of red fabric and suddenly felt her heart drop. "Is-is this what I think it is?" Jeanette asked aloud, feeling tears form in the corners of her eyes.
"What? What are you trying to say guys! Spit it out already!" Brittany exclaimed. Neither Simon nor Jeanette said anything. Instead, Jeanette slowly handed the object to Brittany. She took it without hesitation.
However, before she got a chance to look at it she heard a rustling sound coming from the tree line behind them. She turned around and gasped at what she saw.
Meanwhile:
"I can't believe I forgot to pick up that piece of my hoodie. If anyone finds it they'll think I'm dead and tell the media. I don't want that to happen. That voice was right. If Brittany were to see that on the news and believe I was dead, she'd be devastated." Alvin thought as he made his way back through the tree layer that was surrounding the crater he had just recently created.
As he entered the clearing he thought he heard a familiar voice call his name. He looked ahead and sure enough, he saw Brittany running towards him. "B-Brittany why..." he was cut off as Brittany finally reached him and pulled him into a bone crushing hug."Oh Alvin I'm so glad you're okay!" Brittany exclaimed as she continued to crush him in her arms.
Simon and Jeanette were currently staring wide-eyed at Alvin. "Oh thank god he's okay!" Jeanette exclaimed happily. Simon wiped the tears from his eyes as he said "Yeah. I was scared there for a minute. I really thought he had been killed in the explosion. Thank god he wasn't."
"We should probably see if he's alright." Jeanette said as she and Simon made their way to where there older siblings were standing.
Theodore and Eleanor were still standing were they originally were. "I'm so glad Alvin's okay! For a moment there I had assumed the worst. I'm just glad I was wrong." Theodore said as he wiped the tears from his eyes and turned too smiled at Eleanor. Eleanor smiled back and pulled Theodore into a quick hug. "I'm glad too Theodore." She said as she released him from the hug. "Let's see if he's okay." Eleanor said as she began to lead Theodore to where the others were.
"Ah, B-Brittany, you're squeezing me too hard! I c-cant breath..." Alvin gasped as he tried to struggle out of the bear hug Brittany had pulled him into. When she heard him she immediately released him from her grip. "Oops, s-sorry, but you kinda deserved it." Brittany said. "W-what's that supposed t-to mean?" Alvin asked as he caught his breath.
"Why the hell did you run away from the gym? I was worried about you!" Brittany said as she rubbed away the tears that were beginning to form in the corners of her eyes. Alvin suddenly pulled Brittany into a kiss. The kiss surprised her but she didn't care. All she cared about was that Alvin was safe and she was back in his arms. "I'm sorry for worrying you!" Alvin said as he finished the kiss and pulled away. "It's just that…when you backed away from me after I…Y'know, you hurt me Brit. I thought you were scared of me, and I…" He was cut off.
"I know I hurt you Alvin and I'm sorry for that. You know I would never hurt you on purpose." Brittany let her head fall. "It's just that…when you lost control and almost killed Frank; I thought that I had lost you. I had never seen that side of you and I was afraid that you would've h …" This time she was cut off. "You should know I would never hurt you for any reason. You mean way too much to me." Alvin said. "I'd do anything for you; even give my life if it meant you'd be safe."
When Alvin said that, Brittany felt her heart soar. Never before had she felt safer in Alvin's arms than she did now. She smiled and said "I love you Alvin!" Alvin smiled back and said "I love you too Brittany!" and pulled her into a kiss.
That kiss was filled with so much passion that Brittany actually felt her knees give out, causing her to collapse and pull Alvin down with her. As they fell Brittany let out a yelp of surprise.
Now on top of Brittany Alvin felt his cheeks heat up. Brittany couldn't help but blush as well. He looked into Brittany's eyes as she looked into his. When that happened Alvin suddenly felt butterflies in his stomach. He wanted her in that way, badly.
He suddenly pulled her into a kiss. This kiss was filled with more passion than the one prior. Brittany didn't seem to mind. She returned the kiss with equal passion. Alvin slowly snaked his arms around Brittany's neck and knotted his fingers in her fur as he continued to kiss her. Brittany did the same.
Eventually Alvin began tracing his paws along her sides causing Brittany to shiver beneath him at his every touch. He continued to do so as he slowly made his way south, towards the bottom of her pink shirt.
Once he reached the bottom of her shirt he eased his paws underneath causing Brittany to sigh out of pleasure. However, before Alvin could go any further he heard somebody clear their throat to his left. Surprised, he shot his head up and looked to his left only to see Simon averting his eyes and blushing heavily.
Behind Him (Simon) Theodore and Eleanor were covering their eyes with their paws and facing away. Alvin looked to the right and saw Jeanette looking down with a blush on her face, kicking a small pebble.
Upon realizing they weren't alone Alvin and Brittany blushed like crazy and quickly got up, pulling Brittany up with him. "Hehe, h-how much did y-you guy's s-see?" Alvin asked as he rubbed the back of his neck. Brittany just stood there blushing, unable to say anything. "Enough to say that we probably shouldn't leave you guys alone in a room together for too long, or else we may have some new additions to the family sometime in the near future." Simon said as he adjusted his glasses, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead (if chipmunks can sweat).
"R-really, that much huh." Alvin said chuckling slightly.
"Boy, you really weren't kidding when you said you loved him and would do anything for him, even give up your life." Somebody said from behind Alvin. Brittany was the first to reply, now that she got her voice back. "Um...n-no I wasn't." She said as she and Alvin turned around. Frank was standing there smirking.
"Hey wh-what's that smirk for?" Brittany asked blushing once again. "The moment you told me you loved Alvin with all of your heart; I knew you two would get feisty sooner or later. It is spring after all." That caused Brittany to blush even harder. "Wh-what's that s-supposed to mean?" She asked quickly. Frank smirked once again "Why don't you tell me." He said. By this time Brittany's face felt like it was on fire.
Alvin glanced from Brittany to Frank every second. He had no idea what was going on, and he hated that. "Okay, can someone explain to me what the hell is going on here! Since when do Frank and Brittany act like pals! What happened while I was gone!" Alvin exclaimed loudly. Hearing his brother's question, Simon approached Alvin and stood next to him, which was awkward because he never had to look straight ahead, if not a little upwards to talk to him.
"Listen closely, it all started when..." Simon explained exactly what happened starting with Alvin running away all the way up to the present. "...And that's what happened." Alvin glanced at Frank every once in a while as Simon was explaining. "Oh, okay, well that's cool...I guess." Alvin said "But I still don't trust him, at least not completely, yet." Simon rolled his eyes at his brother, but then let chuckled slightly.
Frank had finished talking to Brittany and was now making his way over to Alvin. Alvin eyed him cautiously but didn't react physically. Once Frank reached Alvin he proceeded to lean down and slowly extend his hand to Alvin in hopes he will shake it, somehow. Alvin was hesitant at first, eyeing Frank's hand and then Frank himself. In the end, Alvin grabbed Frank's hand with both his paws and shook it.
"I'm glad we were able to find you, before you got yourself hurt Alvin." Alvin cracked a small smile. "Um...thanks I guess." Alvin said awkwardly. Frank stood back up to his full height and looked around him. "I'm amazed you survived an explosion of this size." Alvin flinched at that. It wasn't because he was scared, it was more because of the fact that he had forgotten all about what he did here, and Frank had just reminded him.
"Y-yeah, amazing huh." Alvin said as he scratched his neck. "Oh, that reminds me, I was wondering if you knew what caused this explosion." Simon suddenly asked. By this time the others had joined them "Yeah Alvin, what caused it, everyone here wants to know, even me." Brittany said. Alvin looked around and sure enough everyone's faces were stuck in a curious expression.
Alvin sighed "Fine I'll tell you. Do you want the truth or a made up story." Alvin asked. Everyone eyed him dumbly. "What do you think?" Brittany said. Alvin Looked at her and said "A made up story...?"
"No the truth you idiot!" Brittany exclaimed. Alvin gave her a fake pained expression and gripped the area around his heart. "That hurt Brit. That really hurt." He said. Simon face-palmed "Oh brother. Can you just tell us already?"He (Simon) groaned. "Okay, fine! Just trying to lighten the mood, geeze." Alvin said. He took a deep breath and looked at everyone. They were eyeing him expectantly. "Alright here's the truth..." Alvin opened his mouth to speak but then closed it.
"Actually I have a better idea..." Alvin started but was cut off when he heard everyone exclaim "Alvin!" all at once. "Will you relax already and let me finish?" Alvin exclaimed. Everyone immediately stopped complaining and went quiet. "That's better. Now as I was saying before I was interrupted..." Alvin eyed everyone "...I have a better idea. Instead of telling you, I'll show you." He finished.
"Show us...how?" Jeanette said but then her eyes widened when she realized something "Unless..." she was cut off "...unless I'm the one that caused the explosion in the first place." Alvin said causing the others' eyes to widen in what seemed to be fear. "W-wait a second Alvin! The explosion we saw was equal to 2,000lbs of TNT! If you cause an explosion of that size here, we'll be killed!" Simon exclaimed quickly.
"Don't worry Simon I know what I'm doing." Alvin said as he raised his right arm and spread his palm in front of him. "I must do this right! If I don't I'll end up killing my everyone." Alvin thought. "Then why are you doing it? If you think you could kill everyone why do it in the first place?" The voice spoke up. "The only way I am going to gain control over my powers is if I use them at every chance. Besides, knowing that everyone is here watching me makes me more cautious of what I do, plus it shows them that I can consciously know if I am using my powers." Alvin told the voice.
Suddenly Alvin's paw began to glow red. Once the others saw this, their eyes widened and they automatically began to back away. A split second later a red energy beam just as powerful as before shot out from Alvin's palm. When the others saw that they all nearly jumped out of their fur, or in Frank's case, skin. The blast plowed through the tree line and kept on going. Then, after a few seconds, Alvin closed his paw, thereby cutting of the beam and causing it to detonate wherever the leading end was.
There was a quick flash of light followed by a "BANG" a few seconds later that made the ground jolt. A few seconds after that a dust cloud was visible. Everyone stared at the dust cloud dumbfounded. "No Way…" Brittany said quietly.
