The Box of Little Critter

Chapter Fourteen

Tianna had been struggling to free her hands for what felt like hours. She did not know how long she was sitting in the dark alone, but little critter hasn't come back for a while. As she continued to try and free herself, Tianna suddenly heard rumbling followed by panic in the far distance. She stopped.

What was that? Tianna thought, looking around a bit. At that point, her eyes adjusted to the darkness quite a bit. Then she continued to struggle more, but with no luck. With her struggling for a while with no luck, she sighed, looking down at the ground with tears slowly forming in her eyes.

"I just...want to...go home..." Tianna muttered to herself as a tear started to fall down her cheek. "Adam..." That was was made the rest of the tears fall. Suddenly, she heard a car. She froze. The car sounded distant but it was becoming closer. The sound became louder. All Tianna could do was stay where she was and wait. She listened to the sound becoming louder and louder, until...

CRASH!

It was like a movie, where the car crashed through the wall halfway through. Light quickly filled the room. Tianna quickly squinted her eyes, avoiding the blinding light. She could not even see the car, or anything, for about a minute. As Tianna slowly let her eyes adjust to the light, she saw someone run towards her, then kneeled in front of her. 

"Tianna!"

She opened her eyes more, but then started to fill with tears. The person hugged her and pulled her close.

"Mi princesa," he said, then looked up again. "Are you ok?" She recognized that voice anywhere. It was Adam. She was still crying, but it was tears of joy. Hearing his voice again made her forget where she was for a moment. Adam looked at her, very worried. Seeing her in this position upset him greatly.

"Tianna are you ok?" Adam asked again, attempting to loosen the chains. 

"She fine." Adam quickly turned and saw little critter outside standing right behind the car. "I said she was ok. You no listen." Adam glared at critter.

"Let her go right now," he said, angrily. "She didn't do anything to you."

"She stressed," critter replied. "I gave her empty room to relax."

"This is not the way to do it!" Adam yelled back. Little critter sighed.

"Please understand," he said. "If not, I will show you."

Suddenly, Adam felt the ground starting to shake. He quickly ran over to Tianna but he barely had a chance to. He saw little critter grow. And grow. And grow. He grew as big as the building, Adam had to run outside to see critter's face. Then he heard Tianna scream in pain. He quickly turned and kneeled. Adam noticed the chains moving a bit, and Tianna trying to kneel in pain, but failed because it was against the wall. He hated seeing Tianna so vulnerable and in pain. So Adam stood and tried to break the chains from the wall. He could not. Then he heard it. Little critter laughing. 

"I warned you," he said. His voice became deeper. "And you didn't listen. Now with Tianna's help, I will avenge Tianna's fallen uncle."
