The Wolfman

chapter 2

It was getting dark, the moon was already out as they all walked themselves home.

"I feel so sorry for Nathan," Jeanette frowned as she walked with the others. "He must come from a very unloving family."

"Most bullies can be like that." Cherry said.

Brittany scoffed. "You know, I don't care if he comes from a pack of angry wolves?"

Alvin stopped then, making Brittany bump against him. "Wolves?"

Brittany shoved him to keep walking.

"Alvin, are you scared of wolves?" Atticus asked.

"He's been watching werewolf movies for the past week lately." Simon explained, looking back to him.

"Now, now, I'm sure it's okay," Darla said to the others as they kept walking. "There's no such thing as monsters."

"Yeah, except for when we met Frankie." Atticus said.

The forest seemed spooky this late at night as they kept going and there was growling then heard with a twig snapping.

"W-What's out there?" Alvin was scared, which scared the others. 

"Alvin, there's nothing." Simon scolded.

"It's just a...." Cherry added, until there was suddenly growling heard.

"MONSTER!" Alvin yelled.

Alvin, Simon, and Theodore screamed with the Chipettes and they both went to their respective homes while Cherry went to her own home, Atticus grabbed Darla's hand and ran to take her home. But then they heard it again and ran towards the boys' direction and where Patch seemed to appear out of nowhere and follow them.

"Hey, guys," Dave smiled as the Chipmunks came in. "Just in time for—"

Alvin shut the door as soon as Patch came in after Atticus and Darla. "Quiet! It's out there!"

"What's out there?" Dave looked concerned.

"Something scary, like a monster." Atticus said.

Patch was now whimpering being scared of the monster.

"Big and hairy and hungry," Alvin added on. "Like that scene in Invasion of the Pet People."

The door knocked, making everyone scream then.

"Don't answer it!" Alvin cried, Simon and Theodore decided to hold him back to calm him down a little.

Dave answered the door and the strange neighbor Lawrence Talbot answered the door.

"Mr. Seville, my name is Talbot, Lawrence Talbot," the man introduced himself. "I'm your new neighbor."

"Mr. Talbot, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Dave smiled. "Won't you come in?"

"No, thank you." Talbot declined.

Atticus could sense there was something about this guy that was still strange and mysterious and Patch just simply began to growl and bark.

"Patch, stop it..." Darla said to the puppy.

"Your 'kids' just trampled all over my irreplaceable specimen of aconitum planted in my flower bed." Talbot growled.

Atticus, Darla, Patch, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore left the room as the two men talked, Talbot seemed very suspicious as he collected bones and he could smell that Dave's lasagna was burning.
