1.  I hate dark, creepy tunnels.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
2.  They tend to be filled
with things that are horrible.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
3.  You'll be thanking me
when we get our Sparrow Scout badgesCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
4.  for subterranean urban exploration.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
5.  That's not a real badge.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
6.  Not yet, but Raven Leader
will be so impressed with usCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
7.  that she'll have no choice
but to create one.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
8.  Ooh!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
9.  We'll be the first Sparrow Scouts
to earn a badge before it's invented.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
10.  - Frida?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
11.  Hilda!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
12.  Flipping head lamp!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
13.  At least the last thing I ever did
was be right!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
14.  Oops.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
15.  - Sorry, Warren.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
16.  David, your friends are here.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
17.  First order of business: bug check.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
18.  Bug check complete.
Now what are we going to do?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
19.  We could ride bikes.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
20.  Too boring.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
21.  Why ride bikes
around the same old streetsCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
22.  when there's a great big world out there?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
23.  There's so much we've never seen,
so much we don't know.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
24.  There's mystery everywhere you look.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
25.  Like, who's that girl?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
26.  And what dastardly scheme
has she been up to?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
27.  That's just some new girl on our street.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
28.  Yes, but what's her name?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
29.  I don't know.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
30.  Aha! See? She's a mystery.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
31.  Hilda, when you lived in the wilderness,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
32.  you knew everyone
because it was just you and your mum.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
33.  But here in Trolberg,
there's a lot of people we don't know.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
34.  You just have to get used to it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
35.  I'm telling you,
there's something odd about her.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
36.  She's always alone.
She never talks to anyone.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
37.  I've never seen her go into a shop.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
38.  Have you noticed
the more you talk about how odd she is,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
39.  the more odd you sound?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
40.  She's just a teenager.
Most teenagers are a bit weird.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
41.  So? People think elves are weird,
but they're actually quite fun.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
42.  Well, Alfur's fun.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
43.  The rest are rather dull and tedious.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
44.  Come on!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
45.  Wow, she moves fast
for someone who walks so slow.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
46.  Gah! How'd she do that?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
47.  You said yourself, teenagers are weird.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
48.  This is getting too spooky.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
49.  Let's just go to the park.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
50.  You scare awful easy for someone
who's always got a bug on him.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
51.  Sorry, I'm a bit jumpy.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
52.  It's probably on account
of having nightmares all week.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
53.  All week?
What do you think is causing them?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
54.  Uh, don't take this the wrong way,
but... you, obviously.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
55.  Me?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
56.  You're always dragging us
to see something weirdCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
57.  or telling us
about some creepy thing you read,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
58.  like how Trolberg has so many rats.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
59.  And that they get their tails tangled up
and become the fearsome Rat King.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
60.  That's why I had a nightmare about rats!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
61.  I'm sorry, David.
I didn't mean to scare you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
62.  Then why did you call it "fearsome"?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
63.  What's wrong with "fearsome"?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
64.  Not to worry.
I'll help rid you of your nightmares.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
65.  Really?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
66.  - How?
- We're going to find the Rat King!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
67.  How is this meant to help me?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
68.  The best way to overcome
your fears is to face them.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
69.  Like trolls. When you actually meet one,
you realize they're not scary at all.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
70.  Well, not that scary,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
71.  except when you're staring
into that giant, drooly troll mouthCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
72.  and consider
they could eat you in one bite.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
73.  At least I know
what my next nightmare will be about.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
74.  Once you've seen enough scary things,
you don't get scared anymore.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
75.  That's one of the perks
of being an adventurer.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
76.  - Come on.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
77.  This is just like my nightmare.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
78.  Less scary in real life, isn't it?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
79.  - Uh, what's that?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
80.  Help!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
81.  - Ah! Ooh.
- [screaming, grunts]Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
82.  See? There was something
to be frightened about.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
83.  Yes, but it wasn't rats.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
84.  So, in a way, we're both right.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
85.  Ra— Wha...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
86.  - What is it, David?
- Ra— Ra—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
87.  Ah, visitors.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
88.  Have you secrets to trade
with the Rat King?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
89.  Secrets?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
90.  We are the keepers of all secrets
rats overhear from humans,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
91.  and we always wanna hear more.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
92.  Have you secrets to trade?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
93.  I suppose the polite thing
would be to tell him a secret.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
94.  After all, we are guests in his home.
Who's got a good one?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
95.  Okay, okay, I'll do it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
96.  - Uh-huh, uh-huh. Oh!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
97.  Ooh, yes! Fascinating!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
98.  We never would have guessed.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
99.  What a delicious secret!
Oh!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
100.  And have we got a good one for you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
101.  The one responsible
for your friend's nightmaresCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
102.  is the teenage girl.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
103.  The one walking around the neighborhood?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
104.  - I knew there was something off about her.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
105.  Oh, we're so bad!
No pudding for us.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
106.  He's fun.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
107.  - Frida, do you read me?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
108.  - Over.
- I'm in position.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
109.  But, Hilda, how could this girl
be causing David's nightmares?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
110.  - Over.
- I don't know.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
111.  That's why this time,
we cannot lose her. Over.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
112.  Sorry, Bertrand.
I'm not myself.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
113.  Frida, something's happening.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
114.  Do you see anything? Over.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
115.  She's here.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
116.  David, get in position. Over.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
117.  This way!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
118.  She was just here, I swear.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
119.  Go, Twig!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
120.  Target acquired.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
121.  Way down at the end
of Nutten Avenue, turning left.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
122.  Also, I just remembered
I'm terrified of heights.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
123.  Over.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
124.  Hilda!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
125.  - Get on!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
126.  Um, that's all right.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
127.  Don't worry, I've got a helmet for you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
128.  Quickly, we're losing her.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
129.  Twig's got her scent.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
130.  She's headed for the Huldrawood.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
131.  - What?
- Yeah, she can do that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
132.  Stay, Twig.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
133.  Hilda, wait!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
134.  We're so close.
We can't stop now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
135.  No, I mean,
according to the Sparrow Scout manual,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
136.  you really ought to use a bowline knot.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
137.  Oh, good thinking!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
138.  And as David's head fell off his body
and tumbled screaming down the rocks,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
139.  he realized his head was bouncing
directly into the mouth of another troll!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
140.  That's too good.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
141.  Hey, listen here, you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
142.  Oh, my.
That was eerie.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
143.  Yeah.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
144.  I— I mean, I'm not scared,
but I can see how you'd think that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
145.  She told my nightmares to her friends?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
146.  That's not fair.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
147.  I deserve a royalty or something.
Don't you think?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
148.  Definitely.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
149.  But first, we need to find out
just what's going on.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
150.  I believe you'll find that book
to be of interest.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
151.  "Tales of the Marra."Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
152.  "The marra are nightmare spirits
who are said to haunt the Huldrawood."Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
153.  Look, that's them all right.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
154.  I don't understand.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
155.  How did the librarian know exactly
what book we needed?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
156.  That's her job, isn't it?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
157.  True.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
158.  It says here that the marra
visit sleeping humans at nightCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
159.  and create nightmares out of their fears.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
160.  So, I'm not just having nightmares.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
161.  There's also an evil spirit in my room.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
162.  I think I felt better
before you started helping.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
163.  Look, David.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
164.  It says here the marra will pass over youCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
165.  if you strap yourself into bed
with a leather belt.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
166.  No good.
I am deathly afraid of belts.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
167.  Luckily, it's never been a problemCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
168.  since I'm very good
at fitting into trousers just right.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
169.  Belting yourself into bed
is no way to live.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
170.  I'm going to have to talk with this marra.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
171.  We're going to settle this
once and for all.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
172.  Well, Hilda is going home now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
173.  I am going to bed early
as soon as Hilda leaves,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
174.  which she is doing now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
175.  Hold on, there.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
176.  Oh, there's no bug on you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
177.  Ha, never mind.
Good for you, son.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
178.  Phew!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
179.  Shh!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
180.  Hilda.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
181.  You've got a bug on you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
182.  I bet you picked it up
from that David kid.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
183.  You were right,
that bowline knot is fantastic.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
184.  Thanks. And your story worked.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
185.  My mother thinks
I'm sleeping over at your house.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
186.  Good.
Here's the plan.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
187.  I'll sleep in David's bed
so the marra will think I'm David.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
188.  You'll hide under David's desk
where the marra won't see you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
189.  Just to make sure the marra
doesn't go after you,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
190.  you'll belt yourself
into the sleeping bag.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
191.  Now, the marra always enter
through the keyhole,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
192.  so Alfur will guard it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
193.  According to Alfur's records,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
194.  the marra has no paperwork on file
with the elves,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
195.  so she won't see him when she comes in.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
196.  Alfur will wake you up,
even though you can't see him, either.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
197.  Frida!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
198.  You'll use the marra's weakness,
the leather belt,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
199.  to hold her in place
long enough for us to talk.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
200.  - Dream on.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
201.  Like I'm gonna let myself get trapped
by some little kid?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
202.  - Huh?
- Yep!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
203.  You!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
204.  You're that crazy girl
who's been chasing me all over town.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
205.  And you're the one who's been giving
my friend David nightmares.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
206.  Uh, duh!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
207.  His nightmares are the best.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
208.  There's so much to work with.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
209.  He is scared of everything.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
210.  That's not funny.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
211.  Oh, whatever. You like scaring him, too.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
212.  The Rat King told me David was, like,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
213.  practically crying
when you went to see him.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
214.  You know the Rat King?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
215.  I'm trying to help David
get over his fears,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
216.  you're just making them worse.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
217.  So, I want you to leave David alone.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
218.  Yeah, right.
The girls love his nightmares.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
219.  I'm not giving that up.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
220.  Oh, so you pick on David
because it's easy.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
221.  I bet your friends
are secretly laughing at youCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
222.  for not stepping up your nightmare game.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
223.  - Excuse me?
- Don't you think they'd be more impressedCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
224.  with a nightmare
from someone harder to scare?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
225.  Like who? You?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
226.  Unless you're afraid of a challenge.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
227.  Ha! Go to sleep, then.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
228.  You'll see
whose nightmare game is on point.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
229.  Fine.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
230.  You can take your best shot...
if you promise to leave David alone.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
231.  Mm...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
232.  deal.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
233.  But if you wake her up before I'm done,
the deal's off.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
234.  Got it. Heh.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
235.  - Sleep tight.
- Oh, I will.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
236.  I'm gonna sleep so tight, you won't
believe how... tight I'm going to s-sleep.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
237.  - Well?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
238.  I'm trying.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
239.  It's not easy falling asleep
on purpose, you know.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
240.  Is that Hilda snoring?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
241.  Ugh!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
242.  Mum, are you up?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
243.  Hilda, you let the spiders in!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
244.  It's all right, Mum.
I can use these for my bug collection.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
245.  Maybe I'll get a Sparrow Scout badge.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
246.  You're not frightened?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
247.  Not really.
They're cute in that ugly sort of way.Copy !req
