With this chapter I broke 4,000 words!!

Chapter 7

“You! Stop right there!” Nikki yelled as she ran inside. “Get out of my house!”
“What? Who- Oof!” yelled the man as Nikki rushed to him and kicked him. “Why you little...” He didn’t finish because he was busy trying to strangle Nikki.
“Let go!” cried Nikki as she tried to bite his hand.
“Ouch!” he cried as he dropped her. “I’m going to get you, and when I do you’ll be sorry!”
“But Nikki wasn’t listening. She was too busy trying to get the lady away from her mom’s jewelry. The house had been locked up since that fateful night. Why should someone break into it now? It didn’t make sense, but Nikki didn’t care. She was so focused on getting these people out that she didn’t even hear her friends rush in after her.
“Nikki!” Riley cried.
“Oh, so that’s that brat’s name? Let me guess. You’re her friend. Nice to meet ya!” the man yelled as he lifted her above his head.
“Let her GO!” screamed Kylie as she rushed onto her sister’s attacker. “Pick on someone your own size!” She kicked him. “Or do you only attack girls that are only half your size?” she asked tauntingly, for the man was about 6’11”, while Kylie, the tallest of the trio was only 5’3”.
Nikki hit the lady on the head and screamed in her ear, “GET OUT!!!”
“Aieee!” screamed the lady. She clutched her purse, where she had shoved the jewelry. “What, who, huh?” she mumbled as she slumped to the floor.
“Now it’s your turn, Goliath!” Nikki challenged, feeling not unlike David in the Bible. “Yaa!” she cried as she jumped off the big armchair onto the giant’s back. “Take that! And this! And that!” she said as she pounded his head.
“Yeah!” yelled Kylie as she rushed into the fray and started punching the giant for all she was worth.
“Watch out!” said Riley as she joined the fight. She started hanging onto the man’s legs so he wouldn’t be able to move.
Then Nikki heard a sound that sent shivers down her spine. The sound of a gun cocking.
“Get off him now.” Said the steely voice. They sat down on the floor. “Hands behind your head. Stand up,” the woman commanded. “Just like I thought, George, they fell into our trap.”
“It’s not George!” he thundered. “The name’s Bub.”
“Fine, Bub,” she spat, like the name was poisonous. “What do we do with the little rats now? By the way little rats, my name’s Ms. Arachne.”
“You mean like the person that got turned into the first spider?” asked Nikki, remembering the story from school. Come t think of it though, she did look a little bit like a spider.
“Yes!” she screamed. “I thought it would scare little kids to death! And it does!”
“Not us! We aren’t scared of spiders!” said Riley bravely.
“Oh don’t worry. You soon will be.” Said Ms. Arachne with a smile like ice.
