Hello I'm really sorry about the long wait. When you're writing a story or a chapter you wanna make sure it sounds good. Please tell me if my writing is good because nobody is reviewing my story and I want to know what you think of it.
Following the events of the night before, Frank and Nora's relationship had gotten a lot stronger. They didn't want to stop seeing each other since they shared their first actual romantic evening together. It was what sparked up the flame of their newfound love for one another and it was starting to get more heated up from there as the week went on. Every night they continued to meet up and sneak out to their special place not just to practice scaring but it was the perfect place where they could spend actual peaceful time with each other than the coffee shop.
Of course they went out many times before but that was just as friends (sort of). Now they were in an actual relationship and they wanted to keep it as tight as they could for now. They thought if too many monsters knew about them being together then too much information about their relationship could spread throughout the whole city (with Frank being famous and all this would likely happen).
But they weren't worrying about that now and amazing enough they managed to keep their relationship tight and still balance it out with scaring practice aswell.
As much as Nora was now in a real relationship with the guy she loved being with most she was still focused on becoming a real scarer and she would be getting that chance very soon as Frank told her she would be allowed to come to Monsters Inc to try out the scare simulator. Nora was both very nervous and very excited as she would actually be able to go into the factory but worried that she could fail on the scare simulator. She had never scared in front of other Monsters obviously she was comfortable with Frank but she knew that she had to do this no matter what and there was no way she was going to back out now.
…
So a few more days later the time had finally come for Nora to test her skills and what she has learned the test. Nora had visited Monsters Inc many times but she had never been inside the building but she had always wanted to and today she was getting her chance!
Nora flew to the factory and landed in front of the double doors "Okay…this is it" Nora took a deep breath as she pushed open the doors and stared in awe as she stepped inside the huge building where she saw monsters of all colours, shapes and sizes walking around. "It's just like how I imagined it would be!" It made her want to fly up and touch the ceiling but she wasn't going to do that for it might make her look a little out of place.
Quite a few of the monsters turned their heads to look at her but then they just carried on walking. 'I can't believe I'm actually here!' Nora screamed internally then she stopped for a moment to think. Frank said he would meet me outside the Scarefloor around 12 o'clock, well that was nearly the time now but she didn't know how to find the Scarefloor from the inside. She looked forward to see the reception desk with a turquoise female monster with tentacles sitting there talking on a phone and writing stuff down on paper.
Not wanting to waste time searching she approached the desk and waved her hand a little to get the receptionist's attention "Um, excuse me?"
The receptionist looked up "Can I help you?' she asked blankly
"Do you know where I can find the scare floor?"
"Are you supposed to be scaring? I've never seen you here before
"Oh, no I'm not a Scarer I'm just meeting a friend
"Look madam I have a very busy job, and I only supposed to deal with important clients, I'm sure you can unstand that?"
"Please, it is important, look I'm here to tryout the Scare simulator and Frank is supposed to"
"Frank? You mean Frank Mckay?
"Yes! yes him!" Nora nodded quicly
"Well why didn't you say so? The scarefloor's just down the corner on the left she pointed with one of her tentale arms.
Nora smiled "Thanks"
Nora followed the direction that the receptionist pointed to which lead her to a corridor here she saw a couple of worker monsters pushing some scream cans towards it and she could hear screams of children getting louder. She was on the right track. She turned the corner and her eyes met with the magnificent scare floor. Of course she had seen it before but not like this. It had always been a amazing sight for her but to be actually inside of it…was like a dream come true.
Just then she looked toward and suddenly stopped as she realised as her foot was about to step over a safety line. She brought her foot back down behind the line, as much as she would like to go in she need to earn being on the scare floor. 'It's great seeing it from this angle too' she thought to herself
She looked to see where Frank would come out and that's when she heard an ear piercing scream coming from station 2 which was Frank's station. She smiled 'That's my Frankie' and that's when he came out looking satisfied once again…with his friends. The bell then rang for break, Frank finished talking with his friends and turned to see his leopard spotted angel waving at him.
It always made it feel great her he told his friends he'd see them later and walk over to Nora. "Well aren't you a sight for sore eyes" snaking his arms round her waist, in leaned, and kissed her on the side of her mouth. She giggled and tried to push him back "Frank, not here, someone will see us!" she whispered loudly.
"Sorry I just find it hard to resist you when you always look this good" He whispered back making giggle some more but she quickly calmed herself down again. Frank let go of her "Glad you could make it."
"Well I couldn't miss out on something like this plus I didn't want to be late." she smiled innocently
"You always like to make a good impression don't you" he implied courteously "Well I better show you to the simulator now that you're here, follow me."
….
Frank and Nora walked down the hallways of Monsters Inc. until they came to some handle bared doors and Frank pushes them open to reveal the simulator room and inside the grey crab monster was talking to a few other monsters running the simulator. He turned his head when he immediately heard the doors open "Ah Frank always good to see you, I presume you have brought your friend to see us today" he asked hoping manner.
"Sure have Mr W" he stepped aside so that Mr Waternoose could see Nora.
"Nora this is Mr Waternoose, he's the boss of Monsters Inc., Mr Waternoose this is Nora Levett the monster I told you abou.t"
"It's an honour to meet you sir" Nora said politely
"Ah yes, I've heard quite the story about you Miss Levett, Frank tells me that you know quite a bit of knowledge in scaring."
"Y..yes, that is correct sir" she said with a smile
"But I should have you know that we 'are' looking for the scariest monsters we can find, you need to show us how intimidating you can be so we can know for sure you are really up for the job. Do you think you can you handle it?"
"Sure...No pressure at all" Nora responded trying not to sound worried.
"Right then, let's see what you can do, Frank show her round to the door."
Frank walked Nora round to the where the door station was and noticed she was looking down in anxiety "You alright?"
"I really don't want to mess this up."
"Hey, don't worry you'll be fine, you know why? Because you have the 'Scare' in you and I've seen it, and all you need to do is go in there and show them that you have it." Nora eyes lit up "and I'll be right here with you" Held out his pinkie claw, she looked at it and then locked hers with his "Remember there's nothing you can't do"
Nora smiled and breathed "Okay, I'm ready, let's do this"
"That's my girl" he whispered "and Good luck" he gave her small peck on the cheek (nobody was looking). He walked back to stand by the control panel with Water noose and the other monsters.
The simulator monsters then pushed some buttons on the control panel which made the lights turn off and the wall go down around the room. Nora waited outside the bedroom door she breathed in and out and formed a look of determination on her face.
"Okay, Miss levett whenever you are ready" Water noose called out.
"Come on Nora" Frank whispered as he and Waternoose watched the screen that looked into the child's room. They saw the door open slightly and Nora peaked her head in and looked around. She walked in and closed the door and then turned back to the bed with a serious look on her face. She immediately dropped down on fours creeping quietly towards the bed.
She moved with such stealth, stalking like a panther in the shadows. She dodged the toys quickly but silently. Then she leapt over the child's bed creating a shadow and a wisp across it causing the robot to sit up and look around. Nora hid below the side of the bed so she was out of sight. 'Okay here we go….'
The monsters outside waited as they kept their eyes glue to the screen. Then all of a sudden Nora jumped up, opened her wings and let out a vicious snarl causing the robot child to scream at the top of its lungs (if it had any that is). The second the child stopped screaming the lights came on and the walls came up.
Nora panted in a relief and looked to her left to the monsters giving her a round of applause, Frank clapped the loudest of course. By the looks on their faces they seemed to be very pleased with her perfomance.
"Whoo! Yeah! That's what I'm talking about! Mr W don't tell me that wasn't scary enough for you!" Frank…
Nora could both see and tell Mr Waternooses face was the total opposite of disappointment. "Frank, this is remarkable where did you find a monster like her? She really does know how to perform a perfect scare" he remarked positively "Nora was elated, couldn't believe she heard this coming from Mr Waternoose; the Boss of Monsters Incorporated!
"That was such an impressive display Miss Levett, I have never seen anyone with such scaring qualities as your own, and for that I would like to enroll you as honorary Scarer" He handed her a small piece of paper with contact details and the words 'Scare Team' on it.
Nora slowly took the piece of paper "You really mean it?
"If you can continue making excellent progress with scaring abilities of yours and enough scream power for 3 weeks then I will make you a Scarer…Permanently!"
"I..I..I.." She looked at Frank then the paper and then at Waternoose" "I don't know what to say! But… thank you! and I promise I won't be disappointed Mr Waternoose sir!"
…..
Frank and Nora managed to wait until they were outside with no one else around them so they could release their ecstasy. Nora squealed with joy while flying in small circles while Frank cheered loudly "Yes ha ha ha!" They hugged eachother tightly and spinning around and then stopping to catch their breath. "You did it!" Frank breathed "We did it" she looked at him lovingly "I couldn't have done this without you Frank, you're the reason I've come this far, you helped me improved my scaring, you got me accepted to be part of the scare team! How can I ever thank you?"
"Oh you don't have to thank me" he looked at her adoringly while gently rubbing her cheek with his right thumb claw "Though…it would be nice to kiss you now" he said with a smirk.
Nora laughed as she put her hands on his shoulders and they locked their lips together in a soft pleasant kiss. Nora was never going to doubt herself again, for Frank showed her that she could truly accomplish anything if she just believed in herself.
After a minute or two they broke apart "Come on lets go out an celebrate, food's on me!" Frank declared.
Nora couldn't be happier not only had she just got the offer of having her dream job but she also had the most amazing best friend and boyfriend in all of the Monster World.
There's Chapter 11. Don't worry there will be a lot more coming it just takes a bit of time so just be patient. I'm off to Spain for a week so until then Ta-ta!
