Valen-Terror
Chiller 25
(page 3 of 4)

Turning around, Devin stared a weird dark bubbly blob that floated over the teacher's desk. It was the size of a baseball and getting BIGGER. It swirled, squawked noisily, and grew bigger than a basketball. Fuzzy floppy legs popped out of the ball--SIX of them! Then a long green tongue whipped around the swirling blob and two bloody slime-eyes blazed evil in a wart covered face.
"My valentine!" Devin shrieked. "Come to life!" Terrified, Devin turned and raced for the door. But the slick green tongue slithered ahead of him, wrapping around the doorknob, and locking it.
"LET ME OUT!" Devin screamed as he banged against the door.
The spider-like blob just laughed and jeered, "Be-ware, Valentine!" "I am NOT your valentine!" Devin shouted, horrified as the monster grew larger than a desk. Sharp fangs oozed with dripping slime and six creepy legs crawled closer.
"Be mine, be mine, Valentine," the monster chanted. "Be mine...."
"Go away!" Devin cried, ducking behind a counter and trying to hide. But one hairy tentacle leg found Devin and grabbed his ankle, wrapping it in a death-grip and dragging Devin across the floor---towards the oozing sharp fangs!
"NO! HELP!" he sobbed, trembling with terror. "Don't hurt me!"
"Be mine, yummy valentine!" Snorts and slobbering sounds bubbled from the monster, and the fangs drew open wider.
Devin fought back; hitting, kicking and squirming, but he couldn't break free. And he was being pulled past chairs and desks, headed right for the monster's deadly mouth!
"Be mine, be mine, valentine," the monster chanted. "Be-ware!"
"HELP! Someone help!" Devin hollered.
He reached out and grabbed onto his own desk, but the monster was stronger. And Devin couldn't hold on. He was going to be a monster snack and there was nothing he could do to save himself!
Then he saw Jack's desk and remembered that sloppy Jack never put away his things. So Devin lunged toward Jack's desk and grabbed the scissors. Then he reached down, aimed the scissors carefully, and sliced the hairy spider leg that held his ankle.
The monster let out a blood-chilling roar of anger and pain as Devin broke free. Red eyes of fury blazed revenge and Devin scrambled to run away. But there was NO place to run. The monster had grown to fill the ceiling, the hairy arms fanning out towards Devin.

"Be mine, be mine, Valentine," the monster's fanged mouth chanted.
"NO!" Devin shouted, wishing he'd never created the ugly monster. "I made you and I can destroy you!"
