Chapter 3
After history and science classes, it was lunchtime for the boys as well as the Chipettes. In the cafeteria, Alvin and Nathan ran into each other. "You said you dreamed about the same creep I did. How long ago did it start, Nathan?", Alvin asked. Nathan replied, "It started on Monday night. I was in a boiler room and this burned man kept chasing me while wielding those knives on the fingers of his right hand. Your experience started last night?" Alvin said, "Yes it did. Wednesday night. Boy what a terrible time for this to start since the school year is winding down. I was looking forward to summer, but now I have to worry about this monstrosity trying to kill me." Alvin then asked, "Did you wake up with cuts on you?" "Yes I did. Same spot he got me in one of the nightmares", Nathan replied. "What are you two going on about?", Simon asked. Alvin then said, "Nathan dreamed about the same thing I did and woke up with cuts like I did. What's your answer for that?" Simon then said, "I'll admit it is strange that you and Nathan dreamed the same thing but it can't be anymore than a coincidence." "What do I have to do to convince him?", Alvin thought.
The rest of the school day went by fairly smoothly for the Chipmunks and Chipettes. They later were unwinding before they had to do homework. Alvin and Brittany were playing a shooting game and it was close between them. "Come on, come on, yes! I got you! I'm the man!", Alvin said victoriously. "Yeah,yeah,whatever Alvin. You got lucky that time.", Brittany said. "It's not luck, it's skill.", Alvin said flexing his arms. Brittany rolled her eyes. Fortunately, the gameplay seems to have taken Alvin's mind off of the burned man in his dreams, for now.
Simon and Jeanette were reading together after having a couple of games of chess. "My, this is something to read isn't it.", Jeanette said. Simon said, "It sure is." They were reading about chemistry. Jeanette then spoke up, "Simon, I really like you. You and I just click. We share similar interests and I'll admit, I'm glad that there is someone similar to me that I can call a friend." Simon, slightly blushing said, "I like you too. I'm glad we can understand each other. I can't wait for summer vacation." Jeanette replied, "Neither can I."
Theodore and Eleanor were busy trying to look for recipes to try. "That cake looks really good! Maybe we should make it sometime.", Theodore said. Eleanor, in agreement said, "It does look good. If we work together on it, it might even be better than advertised!" "Maybe we could try it during the summer Ellie.", Theodore suggested. "That would be great since we would have more time; minus the concerts we would be doing and working on the new album.", Eleanor said. "Yes, that is something we have to work on. It is fun performing on stage anyway; especially when it's all of us together.", Theodore said. Eleanor replied, "I agree."
The girls eventually had to go home and the boys were doing their homework. "Why does math hate me?", Alvin said in frustration. Simon says, "You know I'm here right? You can ask me for help." "I do, but it still hates me!", Alvin said. Simon then said, "If you would pay attention better in math class, you might get it better." Despite the struggles, Alvin managed, with Simon's help, to get the math homework done along with the other homework. Simon and Theodore also completed their homework. Later on, it was bedtime and Alvin, though still a bit fatigued from the sleepless night previously, was afraid to go to sleep.
At the Miller house, Ms. Miller had just tucked the girls in for the night and kissed all three on the forehead. "Goodnight girls.", she said. "Goodnight Ms. Miller.", the girls responded before she closed the door and went to bed herself. At the Seville house, Dave had just done the same with the boys. "Goodnight fellas", Dave said. "Goodnight Dave", the boys responded. Alvin however worked to stay awake but eventually succumbed to the fatigue.
The sun shined through the windows later on. "Morning already?", Alvin said. Strangely, Simon and Theodore weren't waking up. Alvin went downstairs and there was Dave at the stove. "Morning, Alvin", he said. I actually have something special for you since you actually got up before your brothers. Alvin looked and saw Dave was making pancakes. Alvin's excitement then went away when he noticed how oppressively hot it was. "Dave, don't you feel that? It's so darn hot in here!", he said. Dave asked, "You're hot?" Alvin responded, "Yes I am." Dave then said, "You're hot huh? Well…", then his voice suddenly changed when he said, "I'm half baked." "Dave?", Alvin said in fear. Suddenly, knives grew out of Dave's fingers and he proceeds to cut down his chest. Out steps the burned man from the skin and clothing. "Hello Alvin. It's time for your end!", the man says before letting out a chilling raspy laugh. Alvin screams and just avoids the blades that were thrust at him. He runs to the front door only to discover it's locked when he tries turning the knob. The doorknob then slightly burns Alvin's hand and he jumps from the pain. The man then runs in the living room and tries again to slash Alvin. Alvin tries running up the steps and gets caught in them when they become goopy. "My, talk about a sticky situation.", the man taunted as Alvin sank further into the stairs. Alvin then fell through and ended up in that familiar boiler room. "Oh no, not again!", Alvin said fearfully. "Yes, again.", the man suddenly said before laughing that terrifying laugh.
Alvin immediately runs. He then runs into Simon. "Simon, how did you get here? We need to get out now!", Alvin yells. Simon has a blank look on his face and starts singing an ominous song.
One, two Freddy's coming for you
Three, four better lock your door
Five, six grab your crucifix
Seven, eight gonna stay up late
Nine, ten never sleep again.
"Simon, snap out of it!", Alvin yells. The burned man suddenly comes into view and rasps, "Come to Freddy." He then flickers his tongue at Alvin and Alvin screams in fear before running. "You can run, but you can't hide! Hahahahahahaha!", Freddy's voice echoes in the boiler room.
Alvin then grabs a sharp pole as a weapon. Freddy runs out from behind a boiler and Alvin immediately stabs him with it. Freddy looks shocked and Alvin thinks he has hurt him, only to see the look of shock turn into a demented evil smile and Freddy chuckles evilly. Freddy casually pulls the pole out of his chest and throws it to the side. Alvin takes off again but Freddy suddenly appears in front of him and grabs him by the shirt and lifts him up with his left hand. "Now you've got nowhere to run.", Freddy sneers. "You're mine now chipmunk!", he says before letting out another terrifying laugh. Freddy pulls his right hand back, ready to slash Alvin. "No! No! NO!", Alvin screams. Just as the knives are about to end him, Alvin wakes up in his bed screaming. Alvin is shaking with fear after he almost met his end. Dave comes running to the boys' room. "Alvin, are you okay?", he quickly asks. "It was him again.", Alvin says with fear in his voice. "Alvin relax, it was just a nightmare. Even if some bad person were to try to hurt you or your brothers, I would never let that happen.", Dave said. Theodore said, "Yeah, Dave's here. He'd never let anything happen to us." Dave spent the next few minutes calming Alvin down. "It's okay, I'm here. Remember what I said okay. I'd never let anything bad happen to you. Now try to get back to sleep.", Dave said. "Goodnight again boys.", Dave's says on his way out the door. Alvin lays there and thinks, "What am I going to do? He's unstoppable! What if he does get me? How can I sleep with this Freddy creep in my dreams? He will surely kill me!" Alvin hopes the morning comes soon before he does meet his end.
I know, long chapter. It seems Alvin has a better idea of what he's up against. The man now has a name put on him: Freddy. Find out what happens in the next chapter. Please review!
