Chapter 7- Monster Book of Monster Facts
Dave sat Simon down on the couch. He kneeled down in front of him, put his hands on his shoulders and looked him straight in the eyes. He was still crying hysterically.
"Simon," he said softly, "What happened?" Simon tried to tell him, but Dave couldn't understand him because he was crying so hysterically, "Okay," he said, "Why don't you take a minute to cool off, then tell me, okay?" Simon nodded.
"Look what you did to my brother, Brittney!" Alvin shouted.
"What I did?" Brittney defended, "He went in the room! I didn't make him do it!" Brittney got in Alvin's face, ready to give him a fat lip.
"So you guys know what happened?" Dave asked sternly.
"Um," Alvin hesitated, "well, sorta. We were playing hide and seek and Jeanette was hiding under one of the bunk beds and the door closed all by itself, then the lights started flickering, and the closet doors opened and closed over and over again. She tried to open the door, but it was stuck and none of us could get it open, and when the lights stopped flickering, we finally got the door open, and she was sitting in the corner crying because she was so scared."
"Then," Brittney continued for Alvin, "We helped her to the living room, and we all agreed that this beach house is haunted, well, all except Simon. He said it wasn't logical and it was just a major coincidence. So I told him that if he's so sure of that, he should go stand in that closet himself for a few minutes, and he did. That's all we know." Dave had anger and disbelief in his expression.
"Is that true, Simon?" He asked looking down at Simon. Simon looked up at him.
"Yeah," he replied, calming down, "I-I…I saw a young woman with what looked like strawberry-blond hair…c-covered in…b-blood. She just appeared, stayed f-for…w-well…I-I…I'm not sure how long she stayed f-for…b-but then she just…disappeared." Dave looked angry and a little confused.
"Alright," he said sternly, referring to his boys, "no more horror movies for you three."
"Same goes for you girls," Ms. Miller cut in, "that was the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!"
"But Dave," Alvin tried to argue.
"I wanna hear it, Alvin," Dave said almost shouting, "I'd like to get through our vacation without hearing about your monster and ghost nonsense!" Alvin sighed in defeat.
"Now who wants dinner?" Ms. Miller asked cheerfully. Theodore and Eleanor leaped up from the couch and ran to the kitchen. Dave and the other four walked to the table quietly. Dinner was silent. The chipmunks and chipettes were terrified.
After dinner, the kids went and got ready for bed. They had to sleep in the 'scary' room. I will remind you that there were TWO bunk beds so no one was sleeping with anyone!!! Simon and Jeanette each got a top bunk, Alvin and Brittney each got a bottom bunk, and Eleanor and Theodore slept on the floor, in their sleeping bags. None of the kids could sleep that night, they were way too scared to even wanna think about sleep.
"Psst," Alvin said after about an hour, "you guys awake?"
"No," Brittney said sarcastically, "we're just sleeping like babies, because we're not worried about some ghost coming and…doing who knows what!"
"What do you want, Alvin?" Simon asked annoyed. Alvin didn't answer. He got up and flicked on the light, and got his "Monster Book of Monster Facts" out of his suitcase. Simon sighed as he looked down from the top bunk.
"Alvin," he said, "tell me you didn't bring that ridiculously inaccurate book."
"I did," Alvin responded, "it's a good thing to." Simon rolled his eyes, climbed down from the top bunk, and sat next to Alvin. The other four did the same. Alvin flipped through the book, then paused. "You've gotta be kidding me," he said with a somewhat irritated and disappointed gasp.
"What?" Brittney asked anxiously.
"Th-the page on ghosts is…m-missing," Alvin replied.
