chapter 18- freedom

within a blink of an eye, two chipmunks with bundles of fur ran...

Alvin and Brittany sprinted with two bundles of fur along the tiled floor, towards the exit. The baby chipmunks began to cry in their perants arms as they ran, scared of what was happening around them.

Back with Ian, he looked up from the floor and saw his golden ticket making a run for it. Scared of loosing it, his eyes narrowed and ran. Tory and Shaun saw so quick as they could, the bat flew in his way as the squirrel jumped onto his back.

Ian wasn't bothered, he just ripped the bat off his face and stamped on his wing breaking every bone in it and as for Tory, the man slammed his back on the wall. The impact was too much for the squirrel and within a second he let go an fell to the floor...still.

Ian chuckled and looked back at his chipmunks, just in time to see them escape. He hurried his speed as he followed them out.

Not far in front, Alvin was planning their escape getting his family to safety. Turning round a corner he quickly looked back to check on Brittany and his daughter but what caught his eye was what was chasing them...

"get back here you rat's" the man shouted who wasn't far behind.

Alvin looked down at his son that he was holding and saw the baby terrified, he then quickly looked back at Brittany and his daughter and saw how terrified they was. The chipmunk looked straight ahead and saw a dim lighted room that would be perfect for his family to hide whilst he'd deal with the monster so on a quick turn, he lead his family straight in there with Ian close behind.

The room looked like a library but with the book's in carbonated. Ian remembers this room we're he first spoke to zoe, the girl he use to crush on. Anyway, the room was huge perfect for the chipmunks to hide. Alvin lead his family down the isle, with them being able to see in the dark this would be easy, Ian however would struggle.

Searching, Alvin found a perfect spot under one of the cabinates...

"here, you guys stop here until I get back... " He said showing them under it, passing Brittany their son "...I love you all" he finnished as he ruffled both kits heads, earning little squeaks.

Alvin smiled and look towards Brittany, looking in her eyes he could tell what she was thinking but without hesitation he pulled her close and kissed her forehead, he could hear her quietly sobbing. It hurt him seeing this but no matter what, he knew what he had to do.

He sighed and pulled away, looking once more in his mates eyes. From that one look it scared Brittany, thinking she would never see him again but at the same time she had this strong feeling deep down in her heart that she and Alvin would be together again.

The chipmunk looked back and saw Ian who had found a torch, he quickly looked at his family and then he ran...

Ian had found a torch and lit it in no time, the man was determind to find his rat's...

Meanwhile, in the first aid room, Claire and Zoe was cleaning each other up.

Claire had a badly broken arm which needed to be delt with. She was sat up on the counter as Zoe pulled out the first aid box and set it beside her.

Watching, Zoe pulled out the plaster and bandage and set it at the side whilst she got her other stuff out. Claire winced in pain but in doing so she gained Zoe's attention...

"you ok?" the woman asked, Claire looked at her.

"it's not me you should worry about" hissing pain. Zoe just looked at her, feeling the sympathy.

"hey...don't worry, I'm pretty sure the chipmunks can handle it" she smiled, Claire just looked at her.

"yeah but...they just had babies an an...it could kill them with what's happening. I just hope Alvin knows what he's doing" she finnished, putting her face in her hands.

Zoe didn't no what to say, she didn't have a clue about them or anything but something deep down in her heart told her how Claire feels. The young brunette cleaned and materialized the cuts as she then wrapped up the arm. It took a good 10 minutes before Claire was stable.

"thanks" she smiled, getting to her feet.

"your welcome...come on, Mr young will need us" Zoe suggested, Claire nodded.

So within them words, both women rushed out and headed the direction their boss went hoping they would find him and give Ian what he deserves.

walking, step after step...

Ian slowly moved, flashing his torch up and down each isle he passed. Watching for any sign of the chipmunks.

His eyes went from one side to another, the adrenaline rush he received minutes ago had gone to his head, making him more ancsouse and more paranoid each minute. His teeth gritted and his grip tightend around the torch, almost cracking it.

Up above his head, on a old dirty shelf...Alvin watched, making sure Ian wouldn't see or hear his family. So far they was lucky as Ian slowly passed not bothering to look under stuff. The chipmunk sighed in relief but still kept his eye on him so nothing would go wrong.

Under the cabinate with two little kits, Brittany was shaking all over as she helt her babies close to her chest. Her eyes was glued to the centre of the floor, watching as Ians black polished shoes crept by, not changing direction what so ever...until...

"achoo"

Brittany quickly looked down towards her youngest, seeing her little girl rubbing her tiny nose. The place was very dusty and filthy which was a problem. The aurban chipette quickly looked up from the kit to see the shoes walking back and stopping right in front of them...

"oh no" she whispered

A few feet away, Alvin heard his daughter sneeze which made him flinch, he looked an saw Ian looking down towards the place were his family was. The chipmunk gulped, sencing that this is were the action starts.

Ian also had heard the sneeze and he knew exactly were it came from so turning back, he walked back and stopped. He had his evil smirk plastered on his face as he slowly began to crouch down, placing his hands on the floor but just as he was about to peek underneath something aurban dashed passed, running on her back hind legs with her arms full because of the kits.

Ian saw and quickly hurried on after her, Alvin also saw and like Ian he too dashed off after them.

Brittany ran as fast as she could trying her best to escape but like the total opposite, she came to a dead end...she was trapped!

The Chipette quickly wirled round, quickly setting the kits down in the nearest corner and blocking the view with herself, guarding them like an iron cage...

"now now Brittany..." he began, seeing how she put her ears back and began to growl "...lets just do everyone a favour and just hand over the brats" he said as he slowly reached down, Brittany wasn't happy.

"never" she shot and just as he was about to grab her, something bit him in the backend...

"AAAARRRH!" Ian screamed, shooting up and running round in circles like an idiot, Brittany saw and when she saw what it was she smiled...

"Alvin..." she whispered.

Alvin was clung onto Ian with his claws and teeth sunk into his butt, he knew he would be scared for life with doing this but it was worth it. He'd do anything to protect his family.

Holding on with a tight grip, Alvin refused to let go until his plan would succeed and by the looks it was going well. Ian was in so much pain, he was trying to rip the chipmunk off but in doing so he wasn't watching we're he was going and suddenly he went an wacked his head on a shelf that was hanging low on the wall. Ian lost his balance from the sudden bash as his eyesight span...

Alvin jumped out of the way just in time as Ian fell, he smirked and then ran towards his family. He reached them just in time before Ians sight stilled and just like last time, Alvin grabbed his son whilst Brittany helt onto their daughter and quick as a flash, both chipmunks ran.

Ian saw and got to his feet quickly an soon as he was stable he began to run after them again.

In the corriedoor, the chipmunk s ran and ran, skidding and sliding along the floor looking for the way out but little did they know that someone was on the next corridors, heading straight their way.

with all the running, Brittany began to run out of breath an her speed lessend...

"Alvin...wait..." she managed to say, Alvin saw and walked over to her.

"come on Britt, there's not long left now...few more steps and the kit-" he began but got cut off by her.

"AJ...and Lucy" she said, Alvin looked confused.

"what?" Brittany just rolled her eyes.

"that's what I ...named them...Lucy and... but...Aj for short" she breathed, hearing the kits names brought a smile to Alvins face, specially hearing that his son was named after him...it was perfect.

"Britt I- I dunno what to say..it's...it's-" he tried to say but someone cut him off.

"it's not gonna happen!"

Alvin and Brittany wirled round to see Ian only a few feet a way and to be honest he wasn't in his best shape either so like his instincts alerted him, Alvin pulled Brittany and the kits behind him guiding them towards the wall, beside a closet so no one could see them from the other end.

Ian just smirked as he watched his moves, the man then rolled his eyes an then seeing it as his last chance he got his hand ready and began to reach but suddenly...

"stop right there Mr Hawke"
