6 Billy to the Rescue

Chapter 6 Billy to the Rescue Billy opened his door onto the dark, dark hall. "You will help them, won't you?" asked Trumpet. Billy gulped.

He could hear his parents in their bedroom at the other end of the passage. He would be all alone in the dark downstairs. ALL ALONE WITH GHOSTS AND ZOMBIES AND SKELETON HANDS... "The only thing is... it's very dark down there," said Billy. Trumpet crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes.

"I can do this," thought Billy. "I can go downstairs in the dark." SLOWLY, HE BEGAN TO CREEP DOWN THE STAIRS. The floorboards creaked and groaned. The wind whistled and moaned.

The dark is nothing to be afraid of. Trust me. I'm a monster. I live in the dark. Billy ran to the kitchen. There were the Mini Monsters tumbling around in the machine.

Billy pressed button after button. Beep! Beep! Beep! He pulled open the washing machine door and water, soggy socks and four wet Mini Monsters flooded out onto the floor.

Billy looked at the mess and groaned. He was going to be in big trouble for this. But there was no time to clear it up. Phew! We're free! He scooped up the Mini Monsters and raced back to his room.
