Chapter 10

Hey guys! I've finally got my charger to work so I will be putting up chapters daily again (if I can)

I don't own any of the characters the Bagdasarians made, I only own the ones I make!

Simon's ocean blue eyes slowly fluttered open, the sun's rays came in through the window. Simon sat up and smiled 'todays going to be good!' he thought to himself, he stretched and reached over for his glasses. When he reached over he accidently woke up his girlfriend, she sat up and looked over at Simon.

Simon put on his glasses and lay back down on the pillow, he looked over at the others and noticed Jeanette was sitting up and smiling at him. He smiled back at her and reached over and grabbed her glasses, he slowly slipped them on her face and kissed her nose. She giggled and stood up, dragging Simon to his feet "c'mon we need to get ready" she whispered. Simon nodded and they both jumped off the bed, they quietly slipped out the gap in the door and walked down the hall.

Simon put his arm around Jeanette's waist and kissed her cheek, he was getting a lot more confident with her. She blushed "so are you excited?" Simon asked, she nodded her head "yup, as long as we get Alvin back and we don't need to hear Brittany crying her heart out every day!" she joked.

They walked into the cupboard and dragged out all the bags, then they made their way into the kitchen. Jeanette wrote down a list of what they would need to bring while Simon woke up the others. The rest of them slowly walked into the kitchen, their eyes were half closed. Jeanette jumped down from the table and showed them the list, Theodore and Eleanor were going to pack the food. Brittany was going to pack the first aid kit (just in case) some blankets and some water. Jeanette was packing the information while Simon packed some spy equipment that he found in Dave's closet.

About an hour later everything was packed and the chipmunks were ready to track down this Blake person, They had wrote Dave a letter and it basically said that they were going to find Alvin. They all stood at the front door and sighed "let's make sure that we come home alive with Alvin!" Theodore said in a cheery voice hoping to cheer everyone up, Simon just ruffled his hair and chuckled.

They walked out of the house and Simon quietly shut the door, they walked along the gravel path until they were at the main road. It was quiet and there were no cars about, they quickly crossed the road and at the other side there was another field. They crawled under the fence and looked around, the field was huge! There was green land for miles and in the distance they saw a small hut, the birds chirped happily as they danced about in the sky.

They stared in amazement for a while until Simon spoke up "so what's our plan here guys?" he asked, Jeanette looked around for a little while until she had an idea "well we could try and get to that hut and judging how far away that is and how small we are it could possibly take us until late afternoon! We could take a break there and eat some food then continue on!" she said.

Everyone agreed and began to walk through the green grass, there wasn't much ground animals about but they stayed close together just in case. Just a little while away they heard some growls and hisses, they all started to run. Jeanette and Simon were at the back of the group so they could keep an eye on their siblings, Theodore and Eleanor were in front of them and Brittany was at the front. The strange noises got louder and louder until they finally found the source of it. A couple of feet away there was an orange cat, it was chasing some small grey things that were moving at lightning speed.

They all noticed that the grey things were mice and they were leading the cat straight toward them, they quickly started to scramble the other way. The mice began to overtake them and they heard the loud stomps of the cat right behind them, in a flurry of panic they all split up. Simon and Jeanette quickly headed east as Theodore and Eleanor headed south, Brittany just kept running the same way but the cat singled her out.

She jumped over some stones with ease and avoided small holes, she began to panic when she saw that her family were gone and it was just her and the cat. The cat slammed down its paws close to her tail but she quickly avoided it, her legs were growing tired and her lungs were giving in. She hid behind a rock hoping that the cat wouldn't see her but it did, with one swift swipe of its paw the rock and Brittany went flying.

Brittany hit the ground hard, knocking the air out of her. She shakily stood up put was thrown to the ground again, her arm hit a rock leaving a nasty scrape. She cringed when she hit the ground and she rubbed her arm, the cat stood tall above her now and smiled evilly "my you're a feisty one aren't you!" it said in an English accent.

Brittany scrambled to her feet and tried to run again but the cat grabbed her tail and lifted her off the ground, she was now staring into two big green eyes. The cat grinned wickedly at her "oh I see, your one of those persistent types" he said, he lifted her up so that she was dangling above his open mouth. She screamed but it was cut short when she saw a rock hit the cats head, it grunted and dropped her onto the ground.

Brittany cringed when she landed on her back but it didn't hurt that much, she looked up at the cat who was being pelted with stones. She laughed when she heard her family shouting and cheering as it backed up, a stone hit its head and it started to run away.

Soon enough her family emerged through the grass and they gave her a group hug "wow guys, great timing!" Brittany said, everyone laughed and let go of her. Jeanette looked up at the sky "um ok, we might get to that hut at evening!" everyone realised they had travelled in the wrong direction so they all groaned and trudged through the grass again.

When they finally got to the hut they all slowly crept in, they were huddled close together as Simon grabbed the small torch that was in the spy kit. There were bits of broken glass and old pieces of wood on the floor, the window was covered up by a thin, shabby piece of cloth. It smelled of dust and there was junk lying everywhere, when they were sure nothing lived in there they climbed up some shelves and settled on the middle one.

They cleaned the dust and some broken glass off of it and laid out a blanket, Theodore and Eleanor unpacked some of the food and sat it on the blanket. Everyone tucked in and stuffed their faces, when they were full Theodore and Eleanor put away the remaining food while Simon patched up Brittany's arm. He cleaned it with some water and wiped it with a cloth, he then grabbed some bandages and wrapped up her arm. They all lay down and covered themselves up with another blanket, Theodore sighed "do you think Alvin's ok?" he asked. Simon nodded "yeah, I'm sure he's beating up some cats right now!" Simon giggled but he was serious. They all said goodnight and fell asleep.

(I've noticed that some of my other line breaks didn't show up so let's see if this one does!)

Alvin woke up and rubbed his eyes, he looked over at the poster again but it was still back to normal, he let out a sigh of relief and climbed out of the cot. He walked into the kitchen and saw a bowl sitting on the table, he climbed up and saw that it was another bowl of berries. There was a note next to it that said:

Dear Alvin

This is your breakfast, when you're finished meet me outside!

Emily

Alvin ate all the berries and walked outside, the snow was freezing so he decided to run around until he saw her. He ran into the back garden and saw her sitting next to a tree, he ran up to her. She smiled when she saw him "oh hi Alvin, I made you some winter stuff!"

She gave him a red scarf with a yellow 'A' on the bottom of it, a red winter jacket with an 'A' on the front. Red gloves with an 'A' on the back of them, black water proofs. A red winter hat with a yellow 'A' on it and some black winter shoes. Alvin was amazed "wow, did you make all this?" he said as he put on the water proofs, Emily giggled "my gran taught me how to knit and sew things so I made all of this from some of my brother's old clothes and the shoes are from one of my little sisters dolls!" Alvin had everything on and he was nice and cosy.

Emily stood up and said "I have an idea, you know how you want to get back to your family well I have some friends who are going down there as well. I would like you to meet my friends, c'mon out guys!" she shouted. Alvin peered into the trees and saw some dark figures step out, there was a fox, a hare and a short tailed weasel. They all stood in front of Alvin who was a little confused "umm… who are they?" Alvin asked, the fox spoke up "I'm Rex! That's Twitch" he point toward the weasel "That's Ace and that's Robin!" he points at the hare then the Robin.

Alvin turned to Emily "so what's the plan?" he asked, Emily smiled "well these guys are going down to America to meet some friends, then they are coming back up! So I thought that they could accompany you down there and then you can find your family, so what do you think?" she asked. Alvin thought for a while before jumping onto her and giving her a big hug "thanks so much, this means a lot!"

After Alvin got to know the animals a bit better they set off, Alvin said goodbye to Emily and walked in to the woods with the other animals. He remembered her house number so that he could send her a surprise when he got home.

They walked through the forest, it was a very foggy day so it was quite hard to see. Rex walked close to Alvin and explained to him what the forest was like here "you always have to stick to the trees and watch your back, you never know what could be lurking in the trees!" Alvin shivered a bit but wasn't that scared "at least I've got you guys" Alvin replied.

They walked until late afternoon, they were in a nice little clearing that's had a small burrow in it, and they investigated it until they were sure no one lived there. Robin and Twitch got some berries while Alvin and Ace got some leaves and things to make a bed. Rex was on look out, when everything was ready it was nearing evening so they all climbed in to the burrow and started eating. Alvin was confused "I thoughts foxes and weasels were carnivores!" he said, Rex and Twitch laughed "we have been living with humans all our lives so they taught us how to be vegetarians!" Rex said.

Alvin smiled "Awesome!", after they were finished eating it was night. They told some stories then settled down to sleep, Alvin looked up at the moon and smiled "I'm coming home guys!" he whispered before falling asleep.

So do you think Alvin will get home safely? Do you think the others will find Blake and Alvin? Well you're just going to have to keep reading to find out :D Review please!
