Monster Hunter

Part 9

Guard 1: Don't die on my watch. (Pokes the prisoner with a stick).

Klari: (Sneezes) Achoo. How dare you poke me.

Guard 1: (Chuckles) You're trapped. You'll never escape from here.

Klari: (smiles) We shall sssss (hisses) sss-see about that.

The next day another guard is on duty. He walks to the tiny dark cell of the prisoner.

Guard 2: Hey, wake up. It's a new day.

No response.

Guard 2: (Goes into the cell).

Klari watches her victim walk right into her trap.

The Guard looks around him, and then sees two glowing chartreuse hungry eyes.

Guard 2: Step back. Don't make me hurt you.

Klari: (Laughs) That's funny. I was just about to say the same thing.

The Guard trembles as Klari pounces on him. She pierces her fangs in his neck. The venom rushes in his blood stream, & the Guard falls to the ground.

Klari: (Wipes her mouth) A quick snack for the road.

**************************

Vanessa saw the fear in the peoples' faces. News about Klari's escape spread like wildfire in the little town of Prinu.

The folks of the small community were afraid of what would happen to their children. Klari loved to feast on young kids.

Vanessa tried to control her outrage. This Klari would never satisfy her hunger on children ever again.

A little boy bumped into Vanessa.

Little kid: I'm sorry Miss.

Vanessa: That's alright. It's time you went on home. The daylight is fading.

Young kid: (Nods his head) Yes. I'm going home right this minute. I wouldn't want to be eaten by Klari.

Vanessa watches the child. For a small kid he runs really fast.

The Monster Hunter goes to check out the cell that had been Klari's former home. Vanessa finds a dead body. Klari ended up killing right before she escaped. This Guard was tricked. He must have been lured right into his own trap.

Vanessa studied the ground. There were only footprints from the guard. That was odd. Wait, then she looked at the Guard & she saw that he had been bitten. This Klari must have injected venom into his body.

Another thing Vanessa noticed was the prison. It was pitch black. There was a trail on the ground, but it was that of a snake like creature.

If this was a serpent monster. Then she must be hiding in a cool 'n' dark place. Time to go see what was in the nearby caves underneath the deep tree roots.

Vanessa rushed to the nearby forest of Prinu. The trees of this place were mighty tall and green. They were perfect for snake beings to easily blend in.

Klari had found a warm spot in one of the tree's roots. She slithered in and felt right at home. Her human feast had been the right size to enjoy before her grand escape. The Guard was an easy target.

Vanessa found Klari's trail. It led to an enormous wide, and beautiful tree.

The tree had flowers that were in full bloom, & so colorful. Each flower had a different color. It was like seeing many rainbows after the rain passed. Even the fruits on the tree looked pleasing to the eyes. It wasn't one kind of fruit, but a wide selection of various fruits. Some looked like berries, others like peaches. There were some that Vanessa couldn't quite tell what they were.

Klari set a pile of sticks on the ground. This would be her bed. She saw a spider on the floor & with her tail flicked it into her mouth.

Vanessa saw the whole thing. This creature was crazy. Eating children, & spiders. Yikes.

The monster hunter waited for the moment to strike. Klari soom fell asleep right after tossing and turning on her prickly bed.

Vanessa couldn't believe that the people who placed her in prison didn't chain her to the wall. They really thought She would never try to escape? Wow.

Well, here their prisoner was. Now enjoying her short period of freedom.

Vanessa quietly moved towards Klari. She injected Klari with a dose of a sleeping and numbing serum. Klari felt something prick her on her neck. Before she realized what was happening, her eyes failed to stay open, or focus. The slithering creature also felt a losss of control over her entire body. Was she dying? Who was trying to kill her? She only caught a glimpse of a shadow before going back into a deep sleep.

Klari felt cold. She opened her eyes. Someone, or something, had injected her during her slumber.

Vanessa: Rise and shine.

Klari: (Screams) Why am I in chains?!

Vanessa: There is no need to panic.

Klari hissed, while her tongue moved she felt no pointy teeth in her mouth.

Vanessa: (smiles) The look on your face tells me you've just noticed that you lost your special teeth.

Klari: Where are my precious teeth? (She said in a sob).

Vanessa: They are in my backpack. Who knows. Your teeth might come in handy to me someday.

Klari: Unbelieveable. How dare you.

Vanessa: By the way, I'm taking you back my dear.

Klari: Taking me back? Where?

Vanessa: Your home. This is not as comfortable as your last one.

Klari stared at Vanessa in horror. This day kept getting worse by the second.

Vanessa took Klari back to her former home. There Klari was chained to the wall.

Klari: (Yells) I'll find another way out of here Monster Hunter.

Vanessa: If you say so.

Guard 3: (smiling) Welcome back Klari.

Klari: (Laughs) A time will come when I'll wipe that smile off your face. (Hisses).

Guard 3: (chuckles nervously) Yeah- right.
