Chapter 1, Amelie and the Yellow Monster.


Amelie was running fast, faster than she ever knew she could run. Even though her full name was Amelie Fastrun she had never run this fast!

'Oops! Sorry madam, miss, misses, lady. So sorry!'

The lady was cross.

'Well, I never did, not ever in my life, young ruffians these days, really, no manners! Did you see that?'

She asked her friend from the parents' association who was clutching her black patent bag so hard her knuckles were white.

'Do you suppose she was about to rob us, Dorreen?'

'Well, I say, leave your valuables under the bed and don't let strangers into your burrow. You can't trust anyone!'

The two rat ladies carried on their journey to the bakery, for rat and mouse treats for supper, still mumbling and moaning.

Amelie was long gone, still running.

She arrived at the police station huffing and puffing. Inside and now sitting on a chair, she was still coughing and spluttering.

'Whatever is the matter Amelie Fastrun?' Asked a concerned rat-cop called Inspector Cluehunt.

'Cough, cough, splutter, splutter,' Amelie was struggling to get her words out. 

'Get the girl some water! I think she may be about to pass out,' said the Inspector to another rat-cop who was looking worried.'

'Should we call the mouse-nurse,' she asked as she handed the water to Amelie.'

'No, no, I'm fine, honestly, but something terrible is coming!'

'Whatever is the matter mouse-girl?'

A small crowd had formed around her, all looking very worried and twitching whiskers.

'There is a huge creature, a monster, it is bright yellow with enormous teeth, as big as a dinosaur!'

'Ah,' said one of the onlookers, 'a vivid imagination, there is a pill for that.' 

Haha, everyone was laughing.

'I am not joking, and I do not have a problematic imagination! You always think the mouse-girls are a bit crazy with our clothes and our colouring in but I tell you, the monster is real!'

'Ok,' said the Inspector, 'tell me more. What was the real size, and what noise did it make?'

Amelie thought for a very long time.

'Well, it really was yellow, and it had a huge mouthy thing that went up and down. And it made a noise like a deep sounding motorbike. Like the rat-girl vehicles but louder. And it had a word on its door that said...'

The Inspector butted in...

'Smithies Construction,' he said.

One of the older rat-cops gasped. 

'Yes! said Amelie, 'now do you believe me?'

'Yes, yes, my dear. Now, you have done the right thing. I want you to go home and leave this with the grown-ups.'

'But what about the yellow monster?'

'You go home, like I said, and don't mention this to anyone else. I will sort the problem out this very evening.'

Amelie walked home, still worried and wondering how she would keep it from her family, but knowing that she would have to tell her sisters Scarlett and Ivy, and her cousin Atlas too.

'What is going on Inspector?' Three rat-cops asked at the same time.'

Inspector Cluehunt was white as a sheet. He knew exactly what the yellow monster was.

'They are sending in the diggers!' He said. Looking more worried than ever. Everyone in the station looked sad and everything went really quiet. A pink tear trickled down the snout of the head of admin.

'Surely not again,' she said.
