Back for more yay, after a long time. Nothing else to say but enjoy..
Back to me...
It's me, Simon again. I know my story is getting instance, the adrenaline is getting high. but anyway not going to talk to much so I don't keep with suspense. Okay, so only one thing just going to remind you it's my point of view, just thought I would tell you since you know a long read can sometimes make your mind wonder off to another point of view. Well back to the story *grabs journal and starts reading*.
Mary's POV
"We shouldn't let your friends que se preoccupen (get worried)" I say evilly as I grin a malicious smile. "Pero debido a mi falta de inglés (but due to my lack of English). Tu me lo vas a escribir ( you are going to write it for me)." I say to my prisoner.
I grab a piece of paper and a pencil and hand it to Anatalia I untie her hands but keep her in my cell.
"And I will read it. Tu.. make sure you didn't write any clues, and try to rescue you. Pero si son estupidos y vienen a rescatarte, y a los otros ninos que tengo atrapados, y tus amigos que voy a atrapar los matare ( But if they are stupid enough to go and find you and try to rescue you same with the other childrens y have and the soon-to-be your trapped friends I will kill them). Now start."
Anatalia with fear grabs the pencil and as she was about to begin writing I say,
"Oh en espanol." I conclude. As I noticed her squeam of writing it in English.
I turn into my orbish self and move to the corner of the room waiting for her to finish. In less than a minute I hear that word.
"Terminado (Finished)." Anatalia says faintly.
I turn into my human version and grab the paper, and read it. I smile with glee when I noticed that she didn't managed to write help or anything else that will blow my hideout. "Excelente." I say, "Let me just sign this... great now to the Villanueva mansion it goes." I snap my finger and the paper disappears.
Back to me..
"Alejandro, how did this happen." I ask him trying not swarm him with questions.
"I-I-I don't know." Alejandro replies as he turns his head away from us so we couldn't see him tearing up.
"Don't cry, Alejandro." Theodore says with his usual sweet tone.
"We will find her, and we will help you." Alvin suggests.
"Hey guys, Juan was asking if you would like some..." Brittany enters with her sisters but then stops, noticing a sobbing friend. "Alejandro? Are you okay?"
"Come with me." Alejandro says ignoring Brittany's question.
Alejandro walks out of the room followed by the Chipmunks and Chipettes.
"I have to show you something." He says as we enter in which seems to be his room. It is big and luxurious as every room in this house.
We wait by the exit and in a rush Alejandro grabs something from the side of the window, what is that? I thought. Without explaining, he gives me the piece of paper that had writing, but not any kind of writing it's ANATALIA'S!.
"Read it, I managed to translate it in English." Alejandro tells me.
I grab the paper firmly with my hands and start reading.
"Alejandor, Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Eleanor, and Jeanette I've been kidnapped . But don't worry I'm fine, I'll find a way out. Don't try looking for me or bad things will happen to you. And please watch out because she has a plan." I finish.
"That's all but she didn't write anything else." Jeanette says once the reading was over.
"Jeanette, how could she, I bet she was supervised by her capture, she couldn't write more even if she wanted to." Eleanor answered.
Alejandro still gloomy and sad starts speaking, "I just can't believe it." He goes and sit down on his bed.
"Alejandro, where did Anatalia go the last time you saw her?" I ask trying to solve the mystery.
"Once you guys left, she told me she wanted to go to the National Historic and Scientific Museum that's right around the corner that closes at 10 pm. It's her favorite place to go. So with her backpack and sweater she leaves with my dad's permission, but our maid had to go with her, since a 10 year old can't go wondering around the streets alone at night. Soon, we got worried. Neither our maid or Anatalia have arrived from the museum and it was 10:30pm; it has been 5 hours since she left. When we were about to call the police we saw a car park by our house, and we thought it was her but no it was only our maid. My dad asks were is Anatalia and the maid didn't even know who she was. It made me very confused, she's known her since we were born." Alejandro stops to catch some air.
"My dad started freaking out and quickly called the police. But I stopped him before he could even dial the number and did something that now I still regret doing.." He stops as if he couldn't speak more.
"What did you do?" Alvin asks.
"I-I-I used hypnosis." He ends.
We were all shocked.
"But.." Jeanette started.
"It was the only way I could keep my dad from worrying." Alejandro angrily replies making Jeanette back away a little, "So I used it, I did voice over to make him forget about Anatalia and luckily it worked."
"They don't remember anything." Brittany asks
"Yup." he replies.
"I never knew you know hypnosis." I tell him.
"I learned it from a book I secretly bought a while ago, I'm way better with voice than eye fixation." Alejandro replies, "Sorry." he says as his eyes started to water again.
"It's okay." Eleanor says she tries to comfort him.
"We will find her Alejandro, we just need clues." Brittany says.
"For the first time ever, Brittany's right we need to go to that museum and find some clues and find Anatalia." Alvin joins in.
We all think about it and agree. But I had a funny and scary feeling about this, who ever kidnapped Anatalia might know about our action to try look for her and he\she might try to attack.
"Then it's settled we will go today." Alvin says, "This is so cool it's like being in scooby-doo."
I stop listening as the others keep talking, instead I look at the piece of paper if somehow any clues are hidden on it. But the writing seems the same. When I was about to give up, I see something glowing a blueish glow it was a signature but glowing?.
"Um the signature is glowing." I say quiet frightened.
The others turn to seem also noticing the mysterious blue glow on the paper. They come and get a closer look.
"Simon? What is that." Jeanette asks.
"I don't know." I have always had answers for everything but this was one of those rare time when my mind was blank.
"I know what this is." Alejandro speaks up. "It's ghost psalm, it is a gooey and glowy substance that ghost transfer to surfaces."
Alvin takes the paper from my hand getting interested by the subject, "A ghost."
"And it says M. ." Eleanor reads.
"So what we are dealing with is a ghost, well would you look at that a ghost kidnapped Anatalia." Alvin says.
"We can't be entirely sure about that. First of all this ghost psalm can just be a matter of a chemistry experiment in which two chemical reactions occurred to make that glowing affect." I say proving a point.
"Well we have a skeptic here." Alvin argued.
"Alvin, it's a matter of scientific knowledge, I'm not saying I'm right but it is possible." I ended.
"But the book from Madame Reya states that..."
"Alvin, please not that book again."
"Really Simon, if I may not explain but this book saved Theodore from becoming a werewolf. And YOU becoming a blood-thirsty vampire." Alvin argued.
"Oh how silly of me, and what else did it do almost kill us." I say sarcastically.
"Okay guys before you two start fighting. Remember that we have someone to save." Brittany jumps in, "And Alvin, shut you mouth before I shut it for you."
"Okay." Alvin says, "Cheeze."
"But we can't just go empty handed." Eleanor says.
"Antalia's a paranormal expert remember, and she has all of those ghost tracking stuff in her lab we can go and snatch up some the equipment from her lab." Alejandro says, "Come on, there's no time to waste."
We walk out of our temporary room and follow Alejandro. I grab the note from the counter and fold it up and put it in my pocket, just in case I need it. Noticing that I was the last one to walk out, I grab the doorknob and close the door behind me. We walk through the living room and see Juan sitting in the kitchen table with piles of papers.
"Bills, bills, bills." Juan says as he goes through his pile of papers set on the kitchen table.
We keep walking. Juan, to busy with his paper works doesn't notice our presence. We walk around the indoor pool and through the garden until we manage to get to the gigantic laboratory. Alejandro, puts his finger in a green scanning device and a green light scans his finger print and the door clicks open.
"Anatalia made it, she programed it to only open for her's, mine's, and my dad's fingerprints, for safety purposes." Alejandro explains as we walk in.
"Okay, I know she has all of her ghost stuff in a box or something. Help me look." Alejandro says as he starts searching through cabinets.
We all go and help Alejandro find the materials. I search under tables, through boxes, and hard-to-reach-places but I have no luck.
Alvin opens a cabinet and finds a box.
"Maybe it's in here." Alvin says as he starts to open the box with caution tape around it.
"NO" Alejandro runs and pushes Alvin away from the box, "What is wrong with Anatalia keeping this thing here! Don't dare open this, this box contains machines with radioactive and nuclear substances, NEVER to be used."
He carries the box to a safe and locks it.
"Godness gracious." Alejandro sigh with relief, "Anatalia can go...um over the top with her inventions sometimes." Alejandro explains.
"Sure reminds me of somebody who goes over the top with his inventions too." Alvin sarcastically explains looking at me with a grin.
"You sure can be a piece of work sometimes you know. And worse of all we share the same gene pool." I say.
Alvin, just stands there, I got him speechless Finally!.
"Found it!" Theodore says. He pulls out a green plastic box from under a table where Anatalia's chemistry set was. And I have to say that box was sure hidden very well.
"Man, I had to crawl under there to get it," Theodore says, panting.
We open the box, hoping that Theodore was right. And fortunately he was!
"Yay! Thanks Theodore," Alejandro says. "Okay, help me spread this things on the floor and then we will decide who gets what."
We do as we are told. Many interesting machinery are seen in the box I grab some and lay them out carefully making sure to not break any of it. Most of them I am able to recognize like the EMF recorder, thermometer and EMF reader, and the spirit box for hearing ghost voices clearly, and earmuffs?.
"Okay awesome, now time to pick our items but first..." Alejandro says but gets interrupted by Alvin.
"I call dibs on the ghost catcher." Alvin interrupts.
"Alvin!" Brittany yells at him who had enough of Alvin, "Go ahead Alejandro."
Alejandro smiles, he sure enjoyed their company, "Anyway, first we need earmuffs. Yes I know why? Well with what happened to Alvin and Simon a couple of days ago, we need to protect our ears from what ever that will try to hurt us. And this will be perfect to block or at least lower the volume from the outside. Okay no more talking each of you get one from the pile."
I get a blue one while the others grab their signature colored earmuffs, Alejandro grabs a navy blue.
"Now with, the equipment. Oh wait first we need groups, okay I'll go with Alvin and Brittany. Simon you can be with Jeanette, and Eleanor you can go with Theodore. Got it."
We nod. I'm happy I get to 'investigate' with Jeanette but at the same time kind of nervous, because for some reason I get kinda shy around her. Alvin, had an opposite feeling about the idea due to the reason that he was going to go 'ghost hunting' with Brittany, but thankfully Alejandro was going to be with them so at least they will not cause to much problem.
"Now, equipment. So since we don't have double of everything, the most fragile equipment should be handled by someone responsible, so Simon and Jeanette you two take the camera, spirit box, a Thermometer and a flashlight of course." Alejandro says as he hands me the spirit box and the Thermometer with care and Jeanette a Sony camcorder and the flashlight.
"You guys can go and get a backpack from over there." He says pointing at a pile of backpack with the logo NASA written on it. "Oh and put the camera and the spirit box in those cases their, Anatalia will kill me if she sees just one scratch on them."
Me and Jeanette walk to the pile and do as we are told.
"Alvin, Brittany, and I will take the EVP recorder, the laser grid, and also the thermometer, and a flashlight but I will be in charge of the equipment and one of you can take the flashlight. And Eleanor and Theodore you both can have the ghost catcher, the ram pod it detects if a ghost is near, and the thermometer."
'Wow Alejandro is quiet a leader' I think to myself. The rest get a backpack from the pile too.
"Do you want to carry the backpack Simon?" Jeanette asks me, shyly.
"Sure, why not. Unless you want." I reply kindly.
"I'll carry the camera with me." Jeanette says.
I make sure everything is in the backpack and that the spirit box is in it's case. Noticing I have everything, I put the backpack behind my back ready to go. The rest do the same, Alejandro puts the laser grid on it's tiny black case while Alvin and Brittany put the equipment on their NASA backpack.
"Why this backpacks they are so...nerdy." Brittany says.
"You are not going to be the one wearing it so shut your mouth" Alvin says.
"Don't us that word on me Alvin Seville." Brittany snaps back.
"And don't try to look all smart by using my full name, because it ain't working." Alvin says.
"Why you little..."
"Shut up!" We all shout.
"I'll be wearing the backpack, the bag contains expensive material and I am not letting you two carry it due to purposes. Oh I forgot one thing, walkie talkies." Alejandro walks to one end of the room and grabs a black backpack, "Do you mind helping me carrying this Alvin?"
"Um well." Alvin begins pensive.
"Alvin." Me and Theodore yell.
"Ugh okay." He garbs the backpack from Alejandro's hand and puts it on his back.
"Okay, All ready!?" Alejandro says.
"Yup" We all say.
"Wait! Snacks!" Theodore snaps.
"Theodore not right now." I say to my younger sibling.
"Why?"
"Because."
"Oh, can I at least have something to eat before we leave," Theodore says as he rubs his stomach as it slowly begins to growl, "Who knows how long we'll be there, a-a-and I'm kinda hungry."
"Do you mind Alejandro?" I ask Alejandro.
"No, I don't mind he can get something from the kitchen on our way out." Alejandro nicely replies with a smile and a little chuckle, "Okay, everybody make sure you have your supplies and lets go."
"Your brother is pretty awesome Simon, he's exactly how I remember him. His cravings for food, his innocence, and gullibility, he makes me smile" Alejandro whispers to me once the rest leave the room.
I smile at him.
We walk out from the lab and head to the front door. Once at the kitchen, Alejandro's dad is no longer there.
"You can get anything that you want from the cabinets or the refrigerator, I need to find my dad and tell him that we are going out." Alejandro runs through the living room and up the spiral glass stairs, where the many different rooms are located.
Theodore runs to the cabinets and looks around, Eleanor joins in into the searching
"Please don't take everything Theodore." Alvin says sitting down on one of the kitchen chairs, "It's not like we are going to go on a one week trip."
"I'm just getting some chips that's all." Theodore says taking out some snack size chips, "And I think there's enough for all of us."
Theodore with the help of Eleanor grabs the chips, all 8 of them and put them all in the backpack where the supplies are located.
"Okay, just be back by sundown." We hear Juan from upstairs.
"Okay." Alejandro replies.
Alejandro soon comes running down the spiral stairs to the kitchen, where we are waiting.
"Finally." Brittany says.
"Sorry, my dad wanted me to be very specific of where I was going. It was kinda hard to make up a lie with as much details as possible." Alejandro explains.
"So what did you tell him?" Jeanette asks.
"That we are going to the local fair, as a way for you guys to experience our culture." Alejandro answers, "Maybe we could go there some other day for you guys to actually see it, it's my all time favorite fair."
"We would love to go, Alejandro." Jeanette replies with her usual sweet tone.
"This is taking forever." Alvin says.
"Your right we have to go, here take some money you'll need it for the bus." Alejandro hands each of us a dollar bill and some coins, "This is Mexican money, different than American. The bus driver won't ask you anything so you don't have to worry about money counting just drop the money on the paying machine, and you're set."
I put the change in my pocket, the rest do the same.
"Now let's go." Alejandro says as he opens the door.
We all walk out. Alejandro, walks in front of us being the leader. I was expecting that we were going to go on the direction the cars entered, but no Alejandro seemed to have another plan in mind.
"Let's go through the backyard, it will make the walk to the bus stop a lot faster, just be careful that my dad doesn't see you. The fair is the other way and if he sees us walking through the backyard to get to the park, he'll notice that somethings up." He says.
We walk around the house until we reach a fence, Alejandro painstakingly opens it and we tip toe in. The backyard was nothing that I have ever seen before, a huge park, a basketball court, and another pool.
'Can this guys get any richer' I think to myself.
"Oh my gosh." Brittany says with astonishment.
"Are you kidding me." Alvin says following Brittany's response.
Alejandro stops making all of us bump to each noticing that we have all lost awareness of our surroundings due to the amazingness of this place.
"My dad." Alejandro points out.
We see Juan pacing around in his work place. Due to the reason that the windows are as big as the whole wall Juan was easy to spot.
"Quick behind the bushes." Alejandro quickly demands.
We do as we are told and run to take cover behind the bushes. But then I see Jeanette. Her, being the clumsy one, she trips and falls into the pool taking the camera with her. She quickly swims away from the camera as it begins to produce and electric charge. I look at the window and notice Juan's response to the splash, he heard it. Noticing his heard turning I quickly take action, I take of the backpack and trow it to the guys who luckily Eleanor catches it. And I jump into the pool.
"Simon! You idiot!" Alvin yells.
"Get down!" Alejandro orders him pushing his head down.
I find Jeanette and I pull her to the side of the pool.
"Just leave it. Keep your head down." I whisper.
She nods and she does as she is told.
Juan disappears from his room, I look up and notice that the close was clear. I jump off not worrying about the camera and pull Jeanette out too, but then the unexpected happens. The doorknob begins to turn, my heart starts pounding, I grab Jeanette's hand and run to a hiding place. I find a bush, and with no time to think,we both jump behind it in a nick of time. The door opens reviling Juan, he walks to the edge of the pool pretty suspicious, wondering what made that splash. Than he sees a basketball floating around the water.
"Maybe the wind did this." He says and walks to the door and enters closing the door behind him.
Once Juan is gone, we make a run for it to the outside porch door, we open it and run away from the house into a big open space park.
"You two are all wet." Eleanor says looking at me and Jeanette, "Oh and Simon, your bag."
She hands me the backpack as I quietly say thanks, I open it and see that non of the equipment got damage.
"Jeanette why do you have to be so clumsy." Brittany points out to Jeanette.
"And you, so stupid." Alvin points out to me.
"Sorry for trying to save Jeanette and ourselves from being grounded for life." I yell at him.
"I'm so so so sorry about the camera, I was going to grab it but it starting sparking and.." Jeanette quickly apologizes.
"It's okay Jeanette, we have plenty of those." says Alejandro, "Oh my, there is no way you two are going to the museum looking like that you'll bring to much attention, good thing I have my wallet. You two will have to go and buy a change. Come on, there's a store just across the street."
We walk through the park where many people are having picnics or just relaxing. Many of them recognize that we are the Chipmunks and Chipettes and some of them just looked at me and Jeanette due to our wet clothing.
We arrive to a market street, where people are walking in all directions. Shouting is heard from employees advertizing their merchandise in Spanish. We stay together at all times, I make sure I can see my brothers, the Chipettes, or Alejandro. After a short walk through the crowd we enter a clothing store, which is Macy's.
"Girls, you can go to the girls section and find something for Jeanette while me and the boys will go to the boys section to find something for Simon. Be here in 20 minutes." Alejandro says looking at his watch. 'Be by the exit in 20 minutes got it'
"Here have 50 dollars."
Jeanette grabs it and puts it in her pocket.
Brittany eyes widen of what she just heard,
"20 minutes?! Are you kidding me! That's not enough..." But Brittany's sentence got muffled by due to Jeanette's hand covering her mouth.
"Great, and we'll be here in 20 minutes, come Eleanor." Jeanette says.
The three of them walk away, while Brittany keeps arguing.
"Okay Simon, quick let's find you a change." Alejandro says.
We walk to the boys section and begin our search. Being wet was really uncomfortable, especially when people kept looking at me. I ignored them and grab a pair of baggy jeans that first meets my eyes.
"Alvin, please that shirt is not him." I hear Theodore say from the distance.
"Theodore please, were in Mexico and Simon needs to upgrade his style." Alvin says as the chatting gets closer.
"No Alvin! I'm not wearing that." I say immediately once I see a shirt that literally came from the junior section.
I look around and find a blue polo shirt and a dark blue sweater.
"I'm getting this ones, it's not obnoxious like that one." I say grabbing the shirt.
"I was just trying to help." Alvin says.
"The last time you tried to help me, you made a fool of me." I say.
"Please guys not here." Theodore says.
"I don't think I need new shoes, they are drying pretty quickly." I say looking at my red white soled shoes.
"Awesome you found something, I'll buy it and then you can find a bathroom and put it on." Alejandro says.
I give him the clothes and we walk to the nearby cashier. Once everything was paid we walk to where the exit is located and wait for the Chipettes.
After 30 minutes they finally arrive.
"Sorry about the time, Brittany was being a bit picky of Jeanette's clothing options." Eleanor explained.
"Well it could have made her look a lot hotter." Brittany explains
"It's fine, ok you two go and find a bathroom and get dressed." Alejandro replies in a hurry ignoring Brittany's responds, "Um, oh there's a bathroom over their."
He pointed to a little house in the park where the bathrooms are located.
"Quick, guys." Alejandro says giving us a push.
We run into the bathrooms, me and Jeanette separate and go to our appropriate gender rooms. Once I enter, the stench hit my face and it is not pleasing at all and I have to say the bathroom was not very sanitary either. I get inside a stall and begin to get dressed. It didn't take me to long due to the reason that I was rushing myself to get out of their. I was dressed in 5 minutes and as quickly as possible I washed my hands and got out of their and into fresh air.
"Never go in their." I say to the gang.
"Better dry than wet." Theodore replies.
Jeanette comes out 5 minutes later dressed it almost the same thing she was wearing before but instead of a long sleeved shirt she found a short sleeved dark purple shirt and she was holding a violet sweater for the night too. And she also had new violet colored sneakers. Even though her fashion was very clumsy it looked so pretty in her, purple fit her so perfectly.
"Wow." I sigh, the rest look at me with confusion I blush and change the subject, "I-I-I mean ready?"
"Yeah, sorry for the wait, I kept falling I'm just so clumsy." Jeanette explains.
"It's fine, let's just catch the bus before it get's dark." Alejandro says starting to get inpatient.
We start walking through the crowded sidewalks, as we were walking I feel Theodore's hand grab mine. I see him and he smiles, I smile back. I know what my brother was feeling he was feeling a little scared, since I know his sensibility.
"Are you okay Theodore?" I ask my brother.
"Yeah, it's just what if something happens while we are investigating?"
"Don't worry Theodore nothing will happen to you or to anybody else."
He smiles at me as we keep walking.
"Here we are, and right on time there's the bus." Alejandro points out, the bus was a few blocks away and it was slowly approaching.
As we were waiting, I see posters of children taped on the street light post and on walls of building. I walk to the wall to get a closer look at them but what was very suspicious was the reason that all of the kids disappeared in the same day.
"Weird." I say to myself.
Jeanette sees me looking at the posters and walk to where I am, "Simon, the bus is coming..what are you looking at?"
"This kids disappeared in the same day and their like 10 posters of them, how could that happen?" I ask.
"Maybe just a mere coincidence, come on Simon the bus is here." She points out as the bus pulls over.
I walk with her to the bus still in thought. As we enter I take out my money and pay my fee Jeanette does the same. The bus was not very crowded and I go and seat near where my brothers, Alejandro, and the girls are, Jeanette seats next to me.
It was a quiet ride, and it made sense since talking about our plan could be heard by some of the passengers and some of them may speak English. We arrive to our destination, we get off and see that we are right outside the museum. The museum had ancient Greek architecture, with white pillar and white marble, it looked almost like the Abraham Lincoln Memorial. We walk up the white marbled stairs and after a while of step climbing we arrive at the entrance of the museum.
"Locked, aw man now what." Alvin says in disappointment.
"We sneak in." Alejandro declares.
"But how?" Brittany asks.
"Um let's check the back door." Alejandro replies.
"I don't think we should do this, what if we get caught. Dave will ground us for eternity." I say.
"It's fine Simon, and if we do get caught remember about my special talent." Alejandro says to me pointing at his mouth. I quickly understood that he was referring to hypnosis.
I give a frightened sigh and just go with it, "Alright."
We walk to the back of the museum to check the back door, 'Maybe it's closed and this whole thing will be canceled' I think to myself.
Alejandro grabs the handle and pulls and unfortunately it opens.
"Yay! Time for some ghost hunting!" Alvin cheers.
We carefully enter to the custodial closet, making sure nobody is their. The lights are on but no one seems to be seen.
"This is a museum and it's highly guarded so why is their no alarm and the door is open?" I ask.
"Simon please, you worry to much just relax we'll be fine." Alvin chuckles.
I don't have a good feeling of this.
"Okay time to split up. Knowing Anatalia I predicted the possible sections she might have been, so Simon and Jeanette you two will go to the Space and Earth exhibit, Theodore and Eleanor you two can investigate the Prehistoric exhibit, and finally me, Alvin, and Brittany will go through the hallways and look at the Life sciences exhibit. Alvin, give each a walkie talkie" He whispers to us,
Alvin does as he is told and hands each group one, he gives one to me.
"Okay now split."
We split up and head to our section of the museum.
"Where is it?" I ask.
"Simon! Over here, I found the Space and Earth exhibit." Jeanette points at a door with a sign Earth and Space Sciences.
"Awesome let's go in." We enter and both of us wow in amazement.
The whole solar system is laid out floating above our heads, machinery of all type are shown displaying all different weather phenomenons.
"Let's not distracted, let's find some clues." Jeanette says starting to look through papers.
"Your right, I'll look by the machines." I say.
After a while of 'found anything?' and no's our investigation was not going very good, we haven't found a single clue.
'Why aren't any alarm sounding off.' I think to myself.
"I can't find a single clue." Jeanette explains.
"Should we try some EVP's?" I ask Jeanette.
"Sure." She says.
I get the recording device from the backpack, but when I pushed the on button it turns on but then automatically turns off in less than a second.
"Odd? It was fully charged when we left." I say suspiciously.
Before Jeanette could said anything the lights in the room started to flicker off, until the light went completely off.
"Is it a power outage?" Jeanette asks me.
I look out from the open door and notice that the light's are on in the hallway, same with the other rooms.
"But the lights are on over there. Come on let's get out of here." I say grabbing Jeanette's arm.
But before any of us could even get near the door, the door closed shut by it's self. I run to the door and try to open the door by shaking the door handle violently. But it was no use, it was locked shut.
"Simon? What is going on?!" Jeanette says frighteningly as she hugs me.
I try to be brave for her, but I can feel my heart pounding and my body shaking, "I-I don't know."
I immediately unclip the walkie talkie from the side of my pocket,
"Come in Alvin, come in." I say and wait for a response but nothing is heard only static, "Come in Alvin! Come in Anyone!" I yell but still no response.
I was starting to get worried, what if something happened to them. I grab the flashlight from my backpack and turn it on, Jeanette holds my arm as we both walk around.
"Don't worry Jeanette we will get out, let's try and find another way out." I say to her, she nods shaking.
We both walk to the windows, wondering that maybe we could open a window and get out from their. Jeanette and I try to open the windows, all 6 of them but they are all locked. I look out noticing that the sun was setting, oh no it's getting late. I shake off the upcoming thoughts of the possibilities of us being grounded and concentrate on our problem right now. I look around with my flashlight and try to find another way out, while Jeanette is still trying to open one of the windows.
"It's no use Simon." Jeanette says sadly.
My flashlight points at something, an air vent on the ceiling, if we get up there we could escape the room. But then I noticed how high up the ceiling is.
"Chairs." I whisper.
"What?" Jeanette asks.
"There's an air vent up there that could lead a way out of here all we need to do is stack some chairs up and climb up there." I say.
"But, it's dangerous." Jeanette explains.
"I know, but it's the only way. And there are plenty of chairs." I reply.
"Okay, let's do it." The determined Jeanette commands.
We both run to the near by tables and grab as many chairs as we can and carry them to the location. After a long time of back breaking chair carrying we managed to stack up the chairs into a tall and unstable tower.
"I don't have a good feeling about this." Jeanette says worried.
"I'll test it, once I get to the top you climb up and I will help you once I'm at the top." I explain looking at the tower, a little scared.
"No Simon, wh-wh-what if it falls?" Jeanette asks holding my hand.
"Then just hope that it doesn't" I say gently letting go of her grip.
I start climbing slowly. I make every step valuable, making sure that I had a good grip and that the chair was stable and strong enough to climb. As I began climbing higher, I grabbed the leg of a chair, but then I forgot about my foot placement and I slip leaving me hanging with only the leg of the chair holding my weight.
"SIMON! NO!" Jeanette shouts in terror.
I use as much arm strength as I can and pull myself up. My foot manages to stand on something and I regain my balance and proceed climbing. My breathing was heavy, my hands were shaking, I felt like any second my life will flash in any second. Jeanette just stood their frozen in fear.
'Almost their.' I say to myself, 'one more pull'
With the last remaining strength I pull myself up and I was their on top of the tower.
"*sigh* oh god Simon..you gave me such a scared." Jeanette says in relief.
"I'm fine don't worry, okay now your tu..." I am suddenly interrupted by a sudden shake.
And then in a matter of a second a huge gust of wind rushes in and trows me across the room also destroying the tower, Jeanette runs and takes cover. My air gets knock out of me as my whole body crashes to a wall. My vision becomes blurred and my hearing muffled. I can see the blurry figure of Jeanette rushing to me, and she seemed frightened for what just happened.
"Simon! Are you okay?" She asks kneeling next to me.
Still feeling dazed I speak, "Yeah, I'm okay."
Jeanette sees a cut on my forearm and some bruises on my face.
"Ouch, that must hurt." She says getting a closer look at my cut, "Okay we need to get out of here, what just happened to you is not normal. There is no way for you just to fly across the room like that."
I stand up with the help of Jeanette. Once I stood up I see fog coming in from under the door, me and Jeanette just stand their paralyzed.
"Is it smoke?" Jeanette asks quietly.
"It can't be, smoke and mist doesn't act that way. Smoke spreads through the air, this thing is moving around the floor only." I say feeling confused.
The shades from the windows are pull down violently making us jump.
My eyes open when that fog starts rising and swirling like a tornado right before our eyes. After a while the fog is gone. I look up and see a women figure in a white dress gown, she was floating and looking straight at us. She looked beautiful, but what I saw in her eyes was hatred and sorrow.
I am frozen with fear same with Jeanette, we both just stare at the strange figure right in front of us. I wanted to run but I couldn't, something prevented me from moving my legs.
"Well, well, well who do we have here." The women speaks, "Simon from the Chipmunks and Jeanette from the Chipettes. What a pleasure."
"Oh my, L-l-la Llorona." I hear Jeanette whisper.
La Llorona quickly fly's to Jeanette, with fury and looks at her straight in the eyes, "Never call me that!" She yells furiously, "My name is Mary not that dread-full name!"
"What do you want, and what are you doing here?" I say confidently.
"Oh something valuable. And that something is standing right there." She says pointing at Jeanette.
Before I could shield Jeanette she turns into an orb, the same orb I saw a couple nights ago, and as fast as lighting Jeanette disappears from my eyes.
"No! What did you do to her!" I yell in fury to the floating orb.
Mary turns back to her human shape.
"Right here." She holds up a glass sphere and in it I see my tiny counterpart yelling for help.
"You unhearted piece of.." I begin clunshing my teeth.
"Quite!" She yells making me unable to speak, but against my will, "Man, you have a big mouth."
"What do you want with her?!" I yell.
"She is going to be part of my little experiment, same with your little friend Anatalia." She says.
"No." I quietly say.
"Yes, wow and thinking that you would have been smart enough to uncover my initials," She continues, "Well my dear Simon, as you can see you are quite strong for resisting my song that other night. But, if it wasn't for you I would have gottan you and your brother Alvin."
"Oh look at the time I should go."
"No you won't!" I charge into her, but she trows me back.
"Look at you Simon, you are so pathetic, weak, vulnerable. You may have resisted my song, but you know to much so to keep myself unknown your memory of this must go."
Jeanette looks at me terrified of what was about to happen from the glass sphere.
"It's nice knowing you." She says, she trows a golden like dust to me and then disappears taking Jeanette with her.
The dust makes me feel dizzy but I can still remember everything that just happened. In despair my knees collapse and I cradle myself on the ground hopeless.
"It's all my fault." I say as tears started forming, "Thanks to me, I've lost her. I never even go to tell her that I love her." My eyes start to water and I begin to cry silently into my knees.
The lights turn on and all seem normal, but for me the nightmare has just began.
