Chapter 1: Prologue

One beautiful, sunny day, Tilly Green, now at age 13, got a part-time job as junior scientist, she brought her little brother, Cricket Green, now at age 11, with her to explore her new job and to keep an eye on him.

"Wow! This place is cool!" Cricket exclaimed. "Thanks, I knew this job was meant for me." Tilly said while jokingly teasing Cricket. "Hey Tilly, mind if our new friends join and look around as well?" Cricket said. "Hmm, sure! Why not!" Tilly gave Cricket her pocket phone, and Cricket went to dial his and Tilly's new friends.

"Hey! My sister Tilly got a new part-time job as a junior scientist! Wanna come and explore!" Cricket told his new friends on the phone. "Yeah! Of course!" Everyone Cricket dialed exclaimed.

"Now Cricket, please be careful with my prototype experiment, Experiment 444. It's not done yet. I'm going to go get a few more supplies for it. DON'T, DRINK, IT." Tilly said. Tilly went outside, but Cricket ignored her request. "What harm can this little test tube liquid do?" Cricket exclaimed in optimism. So Cricket drank Experiment 444, but what he didn't realize Tilly's request was serious. Cricket shut the door to Tilly's experiment room, scared of Tilly, that she might be upset with him.

Tilly came back with the supplies. She opened the door, but what she didn't realize was that Cricket was right behind her…

"GASP!!" Tilly gasped when finding her brother turned into a horrid beast with slimey black tentacles emerging out from black goo all over Cricket's body. Cricket lunged a tentacle at Tilly, suffocating her and bashing her head. She was dead. And after Cricket turned back to normal, he fled the scene, scared of what he've done.
