Alright, this chapter is short and sweet... Getting some more action from the mad scientist/King Creature thing.
Last time: We met Chase and explored his saddening past life... Abusive father, mention of an attempted suicide, frantic mother, dead siblings, bullied in school, but you know, other than that his life is great! Hahaha jk, he only tolerates life. Okay more King Creature time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I devour the last of the bear, licking my claws free of the remains after I am finished. The smell of its sweet blood still hangs in the air even though I am sure I got every ounce of meat off its bones. To my great disappointment, my core still growls and begs to be filled. I watch as a small mammal scampers into its hole and I try to decide whether or not I should dig out the ground around it so I can eat it when I hear a snap just behind me.
Hoping it is something edible, I turn and lunge at the noise, only to find another one in my grasp. One of me. One of us. They scrabble and scrape at me frantically. I push them away from me and rise from the ground, the rage inside my chest itching and squirming. They should have found the others, not me.
I sneer at them-- or more of a her it appeared-- who cowers in fear.
"Who are you?" I ask roughly. The moon reflects the fear in her eyes as she cowers. She doesn't answer. "I said who are you?" I say with more power this time.
"I don't know," she whispers in a voice that was very much high for a female creature. She is small, and much less muscular than the rest of the females. I suppose that is depending on how old she is.
I ask her how old she is.
"... My children miss me, I should... "
"What on earth are you talking about?" I question. "I have made it forbidden to breed!"
"I meant..." she stops short in fear of revealing her secret, but I already know what it is.
"Your HUMAN children?" I boom. "You mean to say you still care for those insects?! You disgust me!"
She says nothing.
"I ought to have you re-dosed! Look at yourself," I spit. "You barely even changed, yet you have the audacity to approach me?"
Again, nothing.
I roar three times, signaling my servants. Seemingly in instants, their blue silhouettes come crunching through the woods and to where this pitiful creature and I stand. They appear before me, panting softly, waiting for orders.
"Have this one redosed," I command. I immediately see a look of panic in her blood red eyes.
"No, please, I'll do anything!" She screams. I say nothing and turn my back. "No! You cant do this! Not again please! I cant do it!" I listen to her screams with enjoyment, comparing them with the girl's screams-- the one that I attacked. They were so incredibly similar that they could have been the same.
I trot away, a smile twisting across my face at the sound of the roars of the servants, and the roars of the almost human.

Painfully short and pretty uneventful, but important, again. I'm so sorry for the boring chapters, but they are sometimes more important than the eventful ones. We will get to the exciting parts, I promise ;D *wink wink*.
Also, what'd you think of King Creature? Twisted? Creepy? Cunning? Comment here and let me know what you thought of him and what you think he will do next!
Until next time... Happy Survivor Sunday! Luv 'yall :*
