The Mystery of Skull Mountain: Part Two

(Amy’s POV)

If you’re wondering how I knew the power went out, in the middle of the night, when no lights were on, well I’ll tell you. My clock and my night light went out. DON’T JUDGE ME! There are things out in the dark, bad things, now don’t go saying ‘Pfft, ya right. I bet she’s afraid of the monster under her bed too.’ because I’m telling the truth. Plus the only monster that lives under my bed is Dixie, the family dog. Though I do have to admit being woken up by scratching, heavy breathing, and an odd odor can be horrifying, it’s just Dixie. Sure she sweats, chews on herself rather than doggie treats, and has to take steroid pills it doesn’t make her a monster! Now if you’re looking for a beast, my Chihuahua cross, Riya… I’m getting sidetracked aren’t I? Back to the story!

            That was… awesome. I thought to myself before turning to my other side trying to get comfortable. I lay still with my eyes shut trying to sleep. What if there was someone trying to get in? Holy crab cakes all those stupid porcelain dolls shut up in my closet are probably possessed! Why do they all look like me, whose bright idea was it to get me those!? Calm down; calm down, your fine. My eyes sprung open as my house made an eerie creak, oh no, oh no, oh no. Screw it, I’m allowed to hide; I’m a red head, a natural one at that! I dragged my dog across the bed sheets until she was right beside me before yanking up the blankets over both of us while I curled into a ball. This was much better, I let myself relax and drift off into unconsciousness.

            Ugh, what the heck is that? Oh shitake mushrooms! EEEW! It is so not fun getting woken up by the sound of Dixie puking. Son of a moose! EW, EEW, EEEEW! What the heck? The dog comes into my room out of all of them and pukes multiple times!? I am not cleaning that up.

“MOM! Engh, DEBBIE! D-BEAU! D-DOG! DEBRONZE!” I yelled whilst climbing down from my bed, avoiding the puke spots.

“What?” My mom asked with a huge smile on her face, probably because this time she had an actual excuse to come bursting into my room.

I pointed at Dixie, who was starting to look guilty. Serves her right, SHE’S GONNA GET IN TROUBLE, NA NANA NA BOO BOO! I smirked and stuck my tongue out at her, but wait… I don’t like the look she just got in her eyes. Turns out Dixie was trying to get revenge because she squatted down and peed on my carpet. My mom’s jaw swung open in disbelief, she slammed her mouth shut as her ears started smoking. Dixie realizing the severity of what she had done turned around and cowered under Deb’s murderous gaze. I’m guessing the thoughts in Dixie’s head ran along the same lines of ‘Oh bed sheets, I’m gonna die!’

Meanwhile I had started jumping up and down, screaming in joy, “YEAH BABY! WOOHOO! ANOTHER EXCUSE TO TEAR OUT THE UGLY PURPLE CARPET! TAKE THAT DUNG BEETLES! Ahahaha… BEETLE JUICE! Whaaaat?  NEW CARPET, YAY!” It made sense in my mind, it’s a good thing my mom was too busy yelling at Dixie to notice my rant… thing.

“I have to go get ready; Kaitlin and I need to pick up Hannah before we head to the farm.” I told my mom.

“That’s okay, I’ll clean this up.” Deb said with a frown.

I walked past her with a neutral face waiting until I was just out of sight before I fist pumped in triumph.

 (Hannah’s POV)

            I looked up from tying my shoes when I heard an insistent buzz, someone must be driving with the radio on and the volume turned way up. The sound kept on getting louder, who would drive around like that. The music now had a distinguishable beat, I could practically feel the ground thumping. I looked up to see where it was coming from; I wasn’t surprised when I saw Amy and Kaitlin rocking out in the front seats of a car. Picking up my overnight bag I headed over. Once I hopped in the backseat I could tell what song it was –Livin’ on a Prayer. Instantly a memory came flooding back.
