Sammy's Aunt Basement

There's a mystery just waiting to be solved

hiding inside Sammy's aunt's basement

Chapter 1:

It all began when Sammy Turtle's aunt pulled into a dusty

driveway. And parked right next to a sign that read big 

black letters:

WELCOME TO HAVEN'S INN

But some prankers had added the word mare to the end of

inn. In red spray paint so now the sign read:

WELCOME TO HAVEN'S MARE-INN 

"Oh wow!" They should've googled on how to spell

before wasting all that paint!" Daisy Penguin giggled after reading

what was written. Vicky Dragonfly also laughed before she added

once she got out of the car

"I bet this place was beautiful before they let it go."

"Beautiful?" This place is a dump." Tommy Cub frowned

"I still can't believe that your aunt actually brought this place."

He added

"Me neither. But she keeps saying that with a good rub down

it'll look better than before." Sammy shrugged

"Okay, kids, I put all your bags inside. but before I leave

I need you kids to be very careful walking around the house

"Some of the floor boards are a bit loose so watch out for them."

Sammy's aunt told them

"Leave?" We just got here, where are you going?" Sammy frowned

"I won't be gone for long. Just a few hours I need to go into

town. "And see Mr. Cash, about signing some legal papers."

His aunt explained. 

"Now, why don't you kids go inside and get settled in.

 When I get back we'll catch a movie." She added

"Sounds great Aunt Jen." Sammy smiled

"Great! And remember to.."

"We know, we know watch we're walking!" they all laughed

Chapter 2:

"Hey!" What's wrong with the TV?" All I get is just a bunch

of static." Tommy frowned

"Well, punching on it isn't going to help. I don't think that

my aunt connected the cable to it yet." Sammy shrugged

"Oh great, so what are we supposed to do until she gets back?"

Tommy whined

"Tommy, will you please stop complaining that's all you've done

since we got here." Daisy protested

"I can't help it. I get cranky when I get bored." Tommy shrugged

"Hey, I've an idea. Why don't we explore the house?" Cookie asked

"Umm, I don't think so Cookie, I'm sure my aunt wouldn't want 

us wandering around. 

"You heard what she said about the floorboards." Sammy protested

"We'll be careful Sammy, it'll just give us something to do until

she gets back." Cookie smiled

then after discussing it a bit further, they decided that it was a 

good idea

“Chuck told me the reason your aunt got this place so cheap.

Was because a couple of kids were found murdered in one of 

the rooms. “After they broke in looking for some hidden treasure

they believed was buried someplace in the house.”

Tommy was telling them as they headed downstairs toward the 

basement

“And you believe that stupid story.” Daisy frowned

“Cool. Look what I just found I think it’s one of those old

board games.”

 Sammy said before he blew off the dust from on top

of the box. Then held it up to show the rest of the group

“Sweet, I bet if we sell it online. We’d get lots of money

for it. “Even if it does smell like old mothballs.”

Tommy answered taking the box away from Sammy. Daisy

was just about to ask Tommy if she could see it. When Vicky cut

her off by jumping out from behind some boxes. And yelled

“Whoa, where did you guys come from?”

“Oh, very funny Vicky. You almost scared the fur off of me.

"Where did you get that spooky mask from anyways?"

Daisy asked her frowning. But instead of answering her back

Vicky took the old ox mask off her face and asked

"Where did they disappear to?"

"Where did who disappear?" Cookie asked her

"You mean you guys, didn't just see a bunch of strange-looking

kids. "Dressed in old fashion clothes running around?"

Vicky answered

"Umm, Vicky?" Did you hit your head or something?"

there's no kids in here except for us." Cookie frowned

"Then explain who they're." Vicky shrugged as she handed

Cookie the old mask

Chapter 3:

Cookie gasped suddenly the basement looked creepier

and where Vicky was standing. A group of ghostly figures 

as she described were happily playing with the board game 

that Sammy just found

Cookie yanked off the mask and handed it back to Vicky

"Well, did you see them?" Vicky asked her

"Yup. I couldn't see their faces they were too blurry."

Cookie nodded

"Oh, please do you think that we're that dumb?" To believe what

you're saying?" Tommy smirked

"Well, if you don't believe us. Why don't you put it on and see for

yourself." Vicky shrugged 

"Whatever!" Tommy put on the mask and yelled out

"Cool!" Sammy, you have to check this out!"

"Nah, I'll just take you guys' word for it. thanks anyway."

Sammy protested

"Let me see," Daisy said taking the mask and putting it on

but instead of laughing. She yanked it out and took off

running back upstairs

A moment later they caught up with Daisy back in the 

living room

"Okay, are you going to tell us why you freaked out like that?"

Tommy asked her

"I just got scared after seeing the kids. A big ball of light 

blinded me and when it cleared up. "They were lying on the

floor not moving." Daisy sobbed

"Maybe we shouldn't go back down there. And just forget

about the whole thing." Sammy told them

"Or we can try to help them." Cookie shrugged

"Help them how?" If they can't even see or hear us."

Sammy frowned

"Don't know yet. But I'm sure we can figure it out."

Cookie also shrugged

Chapter 4:

The next morning they got up early and went downstairs

to the basement and began exploring it

"So, where did your aunt run off to this morning?"

Tommy asked Sammy

"She had to go back into town to sign more papers,"

Sammy answered him

"Whoa, check this out!" Maybe, if we put these old clothes on

we can connect with those kids. "And have them talk with

us," Cookie told them

"No way! I'm not putting on some smelly clothes."

Sammy snorted

"Oh, don't be a wimp dude. What do we've to lose."

Tommy smirked

"Do you really want me to answer that?"

Tommy just ignored Sammy as he added

"So, who is going to put on the mask?"

"Me." Vicky smiled. And before she even had a chance to 

put it on. A strange smell suddenly filled the room along with

some frightened voices and a couple of strong paws quickly 

dragging them back upstairs. And out of the house

"Are you kids alright?" What in the world were you doing 

down there?" Sammy's aunt yelled

"We're so sorry. We didn't mean to do anything wrong

"We just found this old board game yesterday and thought

it'd be fun to play with it!" Sammy sobbed

"Please don't cry Sammy, I'm not mad at you

"I was just scared when I came home and couldn't find

you. And when I smelled the gas coming from the basement

and saw you kids there." With sleepy confused face, I freaked

I'm sorry that I yelled at you." His aunt explained. She then 

gathered them all up and gave them a big group hug

"Why don't we go outside and get some fresh air? And then

you can tell me why you all are wearing those funky-looking clothes."

She added laughing

Chapter 5:

And as Cookie watched her confused friends follow

Sammy's aunt outside. It hit her why she couldn't see their

faces clearly. The mask wasn't showing them any ghostly kids

from the past. It was showing them the future of what would've 

happened if they would've stayed inside the basement

And even though she didn't understand why. Cookie couldn't 

help but smile and be grateful that they were all alive and safe.
