You guys, I am SO sorry. This is why I shouldn't start a bunch of stuff for one fandom while looking into another. I'm still not completely back into the Chipmunk world yet, but I'm trying my best. I also can't use the computer on school days anymore…
But enough about my adolescent woes! On with the story!

Simon had been the first to reach the bathroom door after Jeanette screamed. He knocked on the door frantically. When he received no response, he gripped the knob and tried to turn it. The door was apparently locked, however, and there was no sound from the Chipette on the other side. Throwing caution to the wind, Simon rammed his shoulder into the door. It slammed open just in time for him to see Jeanette's feet disappear out the window.
"Jeanette!" he bounded to the hotel room's door and flung it open. Before the others could react, Simon raced down the hall, past the elevator, and to the staircase. The remaining munks and 'ettes shared an alarmed look before following Simon out the door. Dave watched them go, then put a weary hand to his head before following them.
Simon dashed down the stairs, somehow taking them two at a time without tripping. He reached the first floor and stepped into the brightly lit, yet empty lobby. Even the receptionist had gone off somewhere, positive that no-one would want to check in or out at this hour or in this bad of a storm. Simon was out the front door in a nanosecond. Fighting against the roaring wind and rain, he made his way down to the beach. His glasses were no help against the sand blowing into his face. Still, he could make out the struggling shape of his girlfriend being pulled by…something.
"JEANETTE!" he called rushing toward the beach. He could hear the cries of the others as they ran after him. By the time he reached the shore, Jeanette was waist-deep in the suddenly frigid ocean. Simon grabbed at her, catching her arm as she flailed. He saw Alvin and Eleanor rush up to him and attempt to pull Jeanette away. Theo and Brittany were soon helping. Somehow, though, it all wasn't enough. He could hear a high-pitched shriek over the deafening hurricane. The waves crashed around them, mixing with the shrieks and hisses, the angry yells of his friends and brothers, the painful groans of Jeanette as she was pulled between the two forces. An exceptionally large wave crashed against Simon, and he lost his grip on Jeanette for only a moment. But she had been submerged, and as Simon looked up as he tried to pull her back, he could only gape in shock. He'd lost his glasses a while back, but he could still see the monstrous, foaming wave towering above them.
Something scratched at his arm. Simon continued to pull, trying to get back to the beach. He could see a blurry red shape out the corner of his left eye, and heard Alvin's distinct voice say "OH SHI-!" before the wave came crashing down.

David could only watch in horror as the giant wave came down on his sons and their friends. It had easily been as big as the hotel, maybe larger. By the time his body was able to comprehend the situation and run down to the shoreline, they had been all but washed away.

Some parts of the sea never got much light. Perhaps it was all the better, considering the many things that lurked in them. One of these parts went deeper than them all. It hid some of the most dangerous of creatures.
Very dangerous, indeed.
"And still you continue to disobey," a voice said softly. It was light and lilting; a woman's voice that carried a small hint of dark regality. "I do wish you would follow orders." The voice sighed.
"Y-your Majesty…" a trembling voice emerged. "Your Majesty, the girl has been captured." This voice belonged to a male, albeit a tad nasal and high.
"Yes, and her family as well!" another voice added. It was also male, but raspy and high pitched.
"I am aware," the woman's voice said. "Although it interferes with our plans…" she sighed again. "Send a message to Sherri. Tell her that her superior would like to…discuss something with her."
"Y-yes, your Majesty!" the male voices replied at the same time. The slight sound of scurrying could be heard as the two males rushed away. The female voice spoke one more time.
"Mortals are so bothersome…"

And there we are! That's all the steam I got for now. e_e
I'll try to start the next chapter tonight or tomorrow.
