Chapter 2: Legend has It
Ed, Edd and Jimmy started thorugh town with a lot of weight on their shoulders. It seemed like they were carrying rocks on their backs.
Now, you'd think somebody would notice that three kids about 14 and one of them 10 were walking through the city. But no one did. It might be because everybody in town was either in a hurry, busy, or really really drunk.
And now I shall explain the day everything changed for the Eds. And all of the kids, for that matter.
Twas a normal day about a year ago and the Eds where making a scam. Well, Ed and Edd were. Eddy was relaxing in the shade sipping a Kool-Aid without a single care in the world.
"How's it coming fellas?" he asked Double-D.
"Not well, Eddy," Double-D replied, helping Ed move a cinder block onto a rock, which was promtply crushed by the weight. "This work is quite strenuous for myself and Ed over here!"
"Gravy makes the chicken go moo!"
"Eddy, your assistance in attempting architecture is greatly needed, and I strongly suggest that you-"
"Ah, I don't want to do it, so go stick a cinder block up your-"
"Eddy! That is very rude!"
"So what, you two are practically my slavews anyway!"
"Don't talk to us like that, Eddy!"
"Fine then, leave, I never really liked you guys anyways, you were the only ones that didn't hate me enough to do my bidding anyway-"
But Eddy was interrupted when Ed and Edd sent the crushed remains of the rock all over him and walked off. Eddy was perplexed, and it wasn't long before Kevin showed up.
"So you dumped the dorks?"
"Yeah, they're idiots."
"That's exactly what I like to hear." Kevin smirked. "You want to come over to my place? Me and the kids are watching a rad monster trucks show."
"Sure."
Eddy, finally popular, followed Kevin into the house. While at first there was mixed mumbing going around, Kevin explained that Eddy was cool after all, and that he dumped Ed and Edd and could hang out with them now.
Now everybody cheered.
Except there was one person who wasn't at the party. Jimmy was running after the Eds, needing a friend after Sarah threw him (And I mean threw him) out of her house, leaving him useless and helpless.
Now Ed, Edd and Jimmy were leaving the outskirts of town (after nearly being pummeled by a man with 10 beers stuck to his hand) and had somehow gotten into the junkyard.
"How did we end up here? The junkyard is halfway across town!" Jimmy said.
"IT WAS THE WORK OF MERLIN!" (I don't care who you are, youknow who said that.)
"I believe we must camp here for the night." Edd said to his comrades. "It is the only way."
While it was not, Edd was being a tad overdramatic, and they went into the dump. They were unaware that they were being followed by three demonic girls.
Nazz couldn't sleep. She was worried for Ed, Edd and Jimmy. After all, they were headed for trouble, she just knew it. Murphy's Law was never friendly to Ed, Edd or Jimmy.
She nearly screamed aloud when Jonny sneaked up behind her.
"Jonny! What are you doing up? Everyone else is asleep!" she whispered.
"I want to show you something on the computer."
They sneaked past the sleeping, dormant kids and made their way into the kitchen. After grabbing some mini pretzels, they went into the computer room. They found a sleeping Eddy, who was watching- uh, Jonny and Nazz got it off of what he was watching and Jonny found what he was looking for.
"Look at this," he said.
THE FOLLOWING IS AN ACTUAL WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE
Chupacabras(Spanish pronunciation: [tupa kaBaz], from chupar "to suck" and cabra "goat", literally "goat sucker") is a legendary cryptid rumored to inhabit parts of the Americas. It is associated more recently with sightings of an allegedly unknown animal in Puerto Rico (where these sightings were first reported), Mexico, and the United States, especially in the latter's Spanish communities. The name comes from the animal's reported habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock, especially goats.
Physical descriptions of the creature vary. Eyewitness sightings have been claimed as early as 1995 in Puerto Rico, and have since been reported as far north as Maine, and as far south as Chile, and even being spotted outside the Americas in countries like Russia and The Phillipines. It is supposedly a heavy creature, the size of a small bear, with a row of spines reaching from the neck to the base of the tail.
Biologists and wildlife management officials view the chupacabras as a contemporary legend.
"Whoa," Nazz said. "That is too creepy."
"Yep. My dad was killed by one in the Junkyard."
"Ligit?"
"Ligit. They're about the size of a bear, yeah, and silver spines going down its back. It's a brown hairless dog with claws and fangs about the size of my pinky, and a long tail. It's also got the legs of a Kangaroo, and it hops. One guy says he saw it jump 20 feet high."
"Whoa." Nazz was befuddled. "What color are its eyes."
"Dark red. They got a section about it on this article-"
It is said to hiss and screech when alarmed, as well as leave behind a stench. When it screeches, some reports assert that the chupacabras' eyes glow an unusual red which gives the witnesses nausea.
"Too weird."
"I know."
"What's nausea, though?"
"Makes you throw up. In some severe cases of nausea, you can throw up an organ."
"You know a lot of useless facts, Jonny."
"Double-D tutored me a year ago."
"Okay so, how did your father die?"
Contrary to what she thought, Jonny didn't look sad, and he said, "Dad's spirit is still with us." He pointed to Plank.
"Oh. Well, how did your father's body die?" Nazz asked, wondering if she would hurt Jonny's feelings.
"He was walking home from work in the junkyard. He had an umbrella, and he heard this growling, so he started running, and eventually he hid behind a mountain of dirt, but the thing found him and ate him. The chupacabra is said to be able to eat any animal in minutes."
"Ew."
"Anyways, they found a skeleton a few days later, and it was dad, but a piece of wood nearby talked to me, said he was my father. So I listened to him, and I found a camera. And on it was this picture."
Jonny got a picture out of his grey sweater, and showed it to Nazz. It was an unearthly creature, the one Jonny had described. Nazz now felt as if she was going to explode.
Oh no... Ed, Edd and Jimmy were in deep trouble.
She went over to the window to look out at the junkyard- and saw a very hairy creature crawl down from one of the slopes of garbage.
She gasped. It woke up Eddy, and while he was still groggy, she went out to save Ed, Edd and Jimmy.
But in a sense, she was walking towards what was not a Chupacabra going down the slope- it was merely Lee. Which was worse. She sped up, but stopped in her tracks almost halfway there.
There was growling behind her.
