EVIL CAMERA
THE EVIL CAMERA A couple weeks ago the gang from the We Always Catch Our Crooks Club decided that between cases. They would meet one night a week inside their club house and take turns trying to our scare each other. With their spooky stories tonight was Sammy the turtle’s turn Hey Sammy where did you get that cool old fashion camera from Vicky the dragonfly asked Yah Sammy quick take my picture Tommy the tiger cub added laughing. Before he started posing for him Trust me Tommy I doubt you’d want for me to take your picture with this camera. After you hear my story this just isn’t a regular camera. It’s an evil one! Sammy grinned evilly IT ALL STARTED Hey did you guys hear some folks just brought the old Fairs photo shop Daisy the penguin cried out as she slammed the door to their club house opened Oh wow! Who’d want to buy that old place especially with all those freaky stories attached to it. I wouldn’t want to shop in there I’d be to creped out Vicky frowned Oh please don’t tell me that you guys actually believe all those stupid stories about that old store Tommy smirked Not all of them but I do find it weird that every time someone brought something from that store. Something very bad happened to them Daisy answered him Yah you guys remember that story that Wendy Trout told us. That every time she took a picture with the camera she brought from that store. It would only show something bad happening to whoever she took a picture of Cookie added Oh give me a break an evil camera Tommy smirked I’m just repeating what she told everyone she said that she once took a picture of her little cousin by a tree. And when the picture came out all it showed was the tree. Later that day her little cousin just disappeared into thin air Cookie shrugged What happened to her? Sammy asked Nobody knows she reappeared just like she disappeared and when they asked her what happened to her. She couldn’t answer them her mind was a total blank. She couldn’t even remember taking the picture Cookie answered Oh please she probably just said that because she didn’t want to get in trouble for running off like that. She probably went to see her little boy friend or something like that Tommy laughed Very not funny okay smarty besides that retard answered you just gave. What do you think happened to her? Daisy asked him I don’t know and I don’t really care Tommy smiled well we’ll see you girls later. Come on Sammy Come on Sammy where? Where are we going? Sammy frowned Dude don’t worry about it I’ll tell you on the way now come on Tommy answered Oh stop being such a wimp Sammy; Tommy scowled as they walked down the street We’ll just go in take a quick look around and see if they’ve any of the old cameras lying around. Then head back to the clubhouse and finally show the girls that there’s nothing wrong with it he quickly explained I don’t know why I always have to be dragged along into your dumb ghost busting adventures Sammy smirked Hey they started it with all their talk of evil cameras how many times do I’ve to tell you guys. There are no such things Tommy answered I see and stupid me here thinking of what a bad idea this is And how something really bad is going to happen if we do go along with this brilliant idea of yours Sammy sarcastically stated That’s the spirit Sammy my boy I know that I could count on you Tommy smiled as he patted him on the back A few minutes later they were standing right by the front door of the old store. That stood just beyond the woods A big sign was typed to the window that read SOLD Tommy are you sure you really want to go through with this? Sammy asked Yah why not? Tommy shrugged. He went to open the door when a voice from behind them cried out Hold it right there! You guys are busted! Both Tommy and Sammy quickly turned around and noticed a small pup glaring hard at them Busted? Busted doing what? Tommy frowned we were just about to go in Oh I’m sorry I thought you were the ones who keep gluing the doors shut. So we couldn’t get in and finish cleaning up the place before the grand opening the pup explained Oh wow! That’s awful so I guess you’re the one who brought the old place Sammy asked Yep my dad he heard all the stories about the place but he doesn’t believe in ghost or that this store carries a curse to it. He just wants to fix it up and reopen it the pup shrugged What are you guys doing here any ways? I’m Tommy and this is my friend Sammy we live a few blocks away from here. We were hoping to have a quick look round and see if we could find any old cameras that the old owner left behind. You see our other friends believe that they’re evil so we were just going to borrow it and prove to them that they are just nothing more than old cameras. It’s not like we were planning on stealing it or something like that Tommy quickly explained So you or your dad haven’t seen any laying around while you guys were cleaning up he added shrugging Yah there’s a box full of them down in the basement here I’ll show you guys were they are. The name is Rex by the way They walked down to the basement and after a few minutes Tommy found the box hidden behind some other boxes full of junk Yes I found it! He cried out So what was the big deal about those cameras again? To me they look like a bunch of broken junk. I would be surprised if they even work Rex asked them once they were back outside again According to my friend they say that every time you take a picture. It doesn’t show how you took it. It shows something bad happening to the kid that you took the picture of Tommy explained Oh wow! Can I check it out? Rex asked Yah here Tommy said but before he could hand the camera over to him. Sammy interrupted Umm I don’t think that’s such a good idea He went to grab for the camera but instead he press the snap button and accidently took a picture of Rex Oh I’m sorry I didn’t mean to take your picture he added Oh wow! It’s an instant camera I just thought it was one of those old fashion ones cause the way it looks. Let me see the picture Rex cried out A second later the picture cleared up they could see Rex’s face. He looked like he was in a lot of pain and crying Hey is that some kina of joke? Why does my face look like that? Rex frowned. I’m going to show my dad I’m sure he’s going to get a kick out of seeing it he added laughing. And before Tommy nor Sammy could stop him Rex took off running Hey no wait! Sammy cried out but it was too late Rex’s screaming interrupted A few seconds later Rex’s dad came running out from the back of the store What happened? We don’t know he ran off to go show you something. But I think he tripped over some rocks he probably sprang or broke his foot Tommy explained Rex’s dad thank them before he rushed over to where his son was. Picked him up and rushed off to the hospital Oh wow! I hope that he’s going to be okay Tommy said as they were walking back to their clubhouse Oh yah right Tommy his foot blew up like a balloon along with changing different colors. Besides that he’s going to be just great I told you that this was a bad idea Sammy scowled him The next morning Tommy was walking towards the school yard when he heard someone call out his name Oh hey Wendy what’s up? He asked Daisy told me what you and Sammy did yesterday. You guys didn’t really take any cameras from that store did you? She frowned Yah I just want to show every one that it’s just an old piece of junk. But they were gone when we got back to the clubhouse why? He shrugged Are you crazy! Where is it now! She cried out Inside my back bag. And before he could continue Wendy reached out and made a desperate grab for his bag Hey what are you doing! What are you doing have you totally lost your mind! He yelled at her You’ve to take that thing back right now! Or better yet just smashed it into tiny pieces! Wendy yelled as she took the camera out of his bag Wendy put that back! You’re nuts if you think that I’m just going to let you smash it! It doesn’t even belong to you! Now let go! Tommy yelled back as they started fighting over it. They both dropped the camera on the ground when a tiny flash went off Oh wow! Sorry Wendy Just give me the picture Tommy, Wendy smirked Hey I said that I was sorry maybe the picture didn’t come out. Maybe it broke when we were fighting over it Tommy shrugged Yah right and maybe I’ll just disappear just like my cousin did Wendy sighed I guess we’ll just have to wait and find out A few days later Tommy bumped into Wendy coming down the hall Hey Wendy how’s it going? And no offense but if I’d get off the diet if I were you. If you lose any more weight you’ll be nothing but a bag of bones walking around Tommy told her I’m not on a diet Tommy it doesn’t matter how much I eat I lose weight. And it all started the day after you took my picture she answered. Tommy was about to answer her back when the hall bell rang Well I better get going I don’t want to be late for homeroom. And lately I’ve been walking a lot slower then I used to. I’ll see you later Oh my god! Have you guys seen Wendy lately? She looks like a tooth pick I think she’s sick or something Vicky told them during lunch Yah I saw her outside she was holding on to dear life on the monkey bars. I was afraid that she was going to fly away every time the wind blew Cookie added She’s not sick Tommy so claimed accidently took a picture of her with that camera. He took from the fairs store and ever since then she has been losing weight. I’m scared that she’s going to disappear soon if he doesn’t find a way to stop it Daisy explained Me? I didn’t do anything to her Tommy frowned It’s your fault Tommy if you would’ve just left that stupid camera were it was none of this would’ve happened Daisy scowled him The next day the gang went over to Wendy’s house. When she opened the door she looked worst then she did the day before I know you don’t have to tell me I lost another five pounds while I was sleeping Wendy sighed Oh wow! Did you see a doctor or something Tommy asked once they were upstairs in her room We both know that a doctor can’t help me Wendy frowned Sorry okay you said that this started happening right after I took your picture right? What if we rip then maybe everything will return back to normal he shrugged But what if you do rip it and she completely disappears and never comes back Cookie answered Hey I think I just came up with a way come on I‘ve an idea! Vicky suddenly cried out A few minutes later they walked inside the photo store Hi I know this is kina short notices but I was hoping that you’d do something for me. If you could Vicky told the kid at the counter Yah sure what do you need? He answered. Vicky gave him Wendy’s picture I was wondering if you can take this picture and redo into a lighter less blurry looking one Yah sure I guess I could give it a try why don’t you give me a few minutes. And I’ll see what I can do I’ll be right back Half an hour later the kid walked out of the back room Okay all done here it’s So now what? Sammy asked I guess we just have to wait and hope that it works Vicky told them The next morning the gang found Wendy waiting for them by their lockers It worked! I’m back to normal! It really worked! I can’t thank you guys enough she cried out and Tommy are you ready to return that camera now please Yah me and Sammy are going right after school I never want to see that thing ever again he smiled Later on that day they were walking back to the fairs store. A few minutes later they were about to go inside when Rex came hopping up to them Hey Rex how’s the foot? Sammy asked It’s getting better the doctor said that the casted will come off in a week. I can’t wait so what are you guys doing here? Our grand opening isn’t for another week or so he answered Umm we just came by to see how you were doing and to return the camera that we borrowed Tommy told him. And before Rex could answer him His dad walked out of the store and smiled Hi kids! What are you guys up to? Oh umm hey dad they just came by to return that old camera that I told you about Rex answered him Oh wow! I haven’t seen one of those in years Rex’s dad cried out as he took the camera from Tommy Hey how about taking a group picture? Umm no dad that’s okay I don’t think that— Oh stop being such a picture poo pper Rex now everyone get closer together and say cheese! Rex’s dad laughed. And before any of them could stop him the sounding of a click and blinding camera flash interrupted Copyrights © belong to cookie 2006
