You grit your

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

You grit your

You grit your  teeth and stared determinedly at the wall. It is one week before Christmas, you should be happy. But you are  grounded. Grounded for something you didnt even do. Well, not excactly, but you  have no time to think about it now. You are concentrating on an exuse to get yourself out of the house so you can run away to your grandma's for the week. Which isn't  going to happen, but you are desperate. Suddenly, there is a thunk, on your window pane and, without warning, a envelope addressed to you floats down next to you. Before you can try to work out where the letter came from, you eagerly rip open the paper and find a yellow parchment letter with the following words written in green ink:

Dear Cber,

You are one of the lucky few invited to the Ultimate CB Ski Lodge 2017. You may bring as many AEs or CAPTCHAs as  desire. Please include your packing list. The Ultimate Ski Lodge will include party stands, an all you can eat buffet, and luxury hotel rooms over looking the serene lake and beautiful country-side. We will be most displeased if you cannot attend. 

Yours sincerely, Laura, your escort

Can I come! I'm bringing Counter- You don't own me! I will decide for myself if I want to come or not. Fine, then. Do you want to come? Yes. I will come. Ok. Come. Anyway, I will be bringing my sketchbook, a few pencils, at least three books, some clothes, an extra blanket, some kosher food (because I'm not sure if the food at this place will be kosher. It's good to be prepared!), and my school computer because I can probably use it as a weapon in dire need. See you there!

Starbriger, you're the last to join. You joined blue team.

Day one/part one:

As the CBers arrived, one-by-one at the arranged meeting spot, drifting towards the dim, gloomy train station like a trail of ants, they thought about how "Laura" could have at least decided on a less gloomy departure spot. 

"I'm cold..." Anna shivered to Elementgirl as the train pulled into the grubby platform.

"I know." Said Elementgirl, exasperated, "We all are.."

"Scawy...." Fwum hiccuped as they boarded the train.

Not the ideal start to any story, but it can only get better, can't it....

The trip to the Island View Ski Lodge was several hours of games, argument and bored AEs. Autumn Artist pulled a plastic container full of squashed sandwiches out of her suitcase. 

"Guys, it's OK!" She exclaimed, "I brang emergency food!"

"Is it an emergency?" Micearenice asked before returning to her book.

"Pretty close!" Grumbled Secret, massaging her rumbling stomach.

Just as Basil had started trying to imagine a world without noise where he could sit and read without being disrupted, the train pulled to a stop and the excited CBers and they're AEs started pilling onto the station. A beautiful sight met each of these Ski Lodger's eyes. There was a beautiful, breath-taking, serene view of the silent, rippling lake. The beautiful sunset was at the peak of its splendour, dying the crimson sky with a sherade of colours. Palm trees lined the shore as the calming cries of water birds echoed around them. In the horizon was the glamorous, grand Ski Lodge hotel surrounded by hundreds of food stalls filled to the brim with the most delicious mouth-watering creations ever to appear on this earth. Suddenly, a clear voice, as smooth as melted honey broke the awed silence, making Icy jump. 

"Welcome", said Laura, "To the Grand Ski-Lodge 2017."

Day one/part two:

The Ski-Lodgers were breathless with astonishment as they trailed into the hotel whilst taking photos of the beautiful sunset, all unsuspecting, all innocent except for the one CBer of their number who was plotting to murder them all. They excitedly formed into their room groups and got ready for a long, relaxing night. As the other CBers and theyre AEs settled down to a good night's sleep, Sparkle Girl was restless, as usual. A whole day of siting down was driving her crazy and she decided to go on a little stroll across the sand under the full moon. As she silently padded out of the cabin and bounded down stairs, the sound of Laura's voice startled her.

"Where are you going?" she asked quickly.

"Just for a walk," Sparkle Girl said, alarmed by the intensity in Lauras voice.

Laura looked relieved. "Sorry," she said, "it's just, sometimes certain mistakes occur when Ski Lodgers venture out on their own, but if it's just a walk, then I'm sure nothing could really go wrong...."

Sparkle Girl continued on her way, slightly uneasy after the previous conversation. As she stepped onto the shoreline , she kicked off her sandals and dug her feet into the cool sand. Sparkle Girl had the uneasy feeling that she was being watched....Suddenly, a sharp pain issued through her back and everything went black.

The CBers buried Sparkle Girl the next morning after Kestrel found her lying on the beach. Laura was horrified with shock. It was a horrible feeling as the CBers silently dragged their feeg back to the hotel, none of them aware that the killer was among them.

Day two/part one:

As the weary CBers talked about last night in the lobby, Laura tried to draw their confused minds away from the Sparkle Girl topic and suggested that they ride the helicopters to have a tour of the lake from above. The CBers agreed and headed out towards the Helicopter pad.Laura said something unintelligible into her walkie talkie and a fuzzy, unintelligible voice answered back. 

"The helicopters should arrive in a couple of minutes." She said, cheerfully. Element girl was nervous and shaky. 

"What's up?" Pepper star asked, empatheticly.

"Ummm...I, well I'm afraid of heights?" She shivered finally.

"You don't have to come if you don't want to." Grace said, patting her friend on the back.

"No, I want to come!" Element girl said forcefully, as they packed themselves into the 8 helicopters, ready for take of. The CBers rose up to the sky. Element girl, surprisingly, had not become any more nervous. In fact, she looked afraid. Suddenly, Anna's seat went click! and the whole thing flipped upwards leaving the terrified AE behind. Anna plummeted into the lake, never to be seen again...
