Here's chapter 3.
3:00 a.m.
B.O.B, Link, Susan, Dr. Cockroach and Sqweep were too afraid to fall asleep. They kept hearing creeks and bumps that sounded so eerie. They wondered how in the whole universe Sta'abie can sleep through all of these creepy sounds. Sta'abie was fast asleep in her sleeping bag. B.O.B got up and flipped the light switch, which lit up the whole room, waking Sta'abie, making her moan in both sleepiness and annoyance.
"Hey guys, is it okay if we sleep with the light on? I'm too scared to sleep in the dark." B.O.B said.
"Seriously, you're such a scardy baby!" Sta'abie said, feeling annoyed from these weak life forms being scared "There is no such thing as ghosts! That legend is just a story General Monger told us order to scare us so he can test our bravery!"
Suddenly, the lights started to flicker on and off as if someone was repeatedly flipping the switch.
"Very funny monsters!" Sta'abie said sarcastically.
"What?" Dr. Cockroach asked confused.
"And the lights will flicker on and off, just like the story, I get it!" Sta'abie continued to talk sarcastically. But she then noticed that neither Sqweep nor any of the other monsters were anywhere near the light switch. The lights were still flickering even after B.O.B returned to his sleeping bag.
"Hey Sta'abie." Link said "How are you doing that without moving the switch?"
"I'm not doing it!" Sta'abie answered "It must be the stupid, faulty wiring. This place is old you know."
Just then, the phone began to ring. Sta'abie got up to answer it.
"Who is this? What do you want?... Hello?... Hello?" She said, but there was nobody on the other end responding.
"Nice try Sta'abie!" Susan teased.
"Nice try what?" Sta'abie asked confused
"The phone will ring, and they'll be no one there." Susan answered "You're such a kidder!"
"I'm not doing this." Sta'abie said, she was beginning to panic. When Monger told the story about the ghost, she didn't believe it was true, for she didn't believe in ghosts. But after seeing a couple of signs that were mentioned in the story, she began to wonder if ghosts really do exist. For the first time in her life as an alien huntress, she felt scared.
"Okay, okay, calm down. First there was the lights. Then the phone." Sta'abie said to herself "What was that third thing?"
Without warning, lightning cracked across the dark cloudy sky outside with a loud roar of thunder that scared everyone. The lights flickered before going out completely, leaving the room dark.
"Hey! Who turned out the lights?" B.O.B cried out.
"The lightning cut the power!" Dr. Cockroach said.
"It's okay, I have a flashlight." Susan told them. She turned on the small black flashlight in her hand and a small beam of light appeared wherever the flashlight pointed at. She then went over to the window and pulled back the curtains to see if it was raining outside. No rain was falling down, but by the way the tree in the front yard was moving and the loud sound of whooshing, the wind was blowing really hard. Every several seconds, lightning was seen along with the sound of thunder.
The monsters and aliens then spotted something coming down the road. As it got closer, it revealed itself to be a black horse drawn carriage. But the scary thing about the carriage was that the horse drawing it was invisible, making it look like the carriage was moving by itself.
"I didn't know there were horse drawn carriage rides this late at night." B.O.B said.
"There isn't." Sta'abie told him, without taking her feared expression face off the carriage.
"Well there dropping someone off." B.O.B said. The carriage drove away to reveal a shadowy woman wearing a black 19th century funeral garment. She also wore a black veil that hid her face. She was hiding something behind her back, bringing it forward to reveal an ax. Link, Susan, Dr. Cockroach, Sqweep and Sta'abie all screamed when they saw the ax, realizing it's the ghost of Lizzie Borden, looking blood thirsty behind that black veil.
"The ghost of Lizzie Borden." B.O.B said in shock before he started to bawl.
"Finally you understand, we're doomed!" Link told him.
"No." B.O.B said and stopped bawling with a smile, he then turned to Sta'abie "Sta'abie, I am just so touched that you would go through all the trouble and dress up as a ghostly woman and stand on the other side of the street, just to entertain us. You must really like us!"
"Um, Blob there are two problems with what you just said." Sta'abie said to him "One, I hate you monsters. And two, how can that be me when I'm standing RIGHT HERE?"
B.O.B looked out the window again; the ghost was just at the front door. Without even touching it, the ghost swung the door wide open; just as a flash of lightning appeared followed by a loud roar of thunder. Finally realizing that it's the ghost of Lizzie Borden, B.O.B screamed in horror while everyone else followed along in the scream. The monsters and aliens ran for their live just as the ghost began to stalk towards them.
They zoomed all the way to the back of the house, desperate to reach the back door. They were relieved when they found it already opened. However, just as they were about to reach it, the door slammed itself shut. What was even worse was when they tried to open it, only to find that it was locked tight.
"It's Lizzie Borden!" Link cried out "She's already picked us for her next victims!
"We're all gonna die!" Sqweep agreed "She's gonna hack us to death with her big, bloody ax!"
"Calm down, there must be some reasonable explanation for all of this." Susan said.
"Yea, the ghost locked us in so she can stalk us and chop us to pieces!" B.O.B screamed out.
"That's not a reasonable explanation B.O.B." Dr. Cockroach told him.
All of a sudden, the door began to rattle violently by itself in a terrifying way, causing the monsters and aliens to once again scream and run.
