*Sigh* I guess this story will never be good enough to get thousands of reads.

Oh, well. I'm still determined to show you guys all of my Ideas.

So, here it is, Chapter 15. One reason it took me a long time to write this chapter was because I had a hard time with the flow. Hopefully, you guys will find it okay.

The other reason is because graduation is getting near and I got really buisy with all the things I have to do. Now I'm totally free. And I think I have a chance, even if it is justa small chance, of becoming Valedictorian. Well, wezre going to find out the day after tomorrow, so wish me luck guys.

Again, here it is. Chapter 15: Taken. Tell me what you think please.

I stood frozen for a moment, watching Gantila continue laughing.

I’m not even sure if I could call the creature in front of me a girl anymore. The sweet, scared little girl that stood in front of us just moments ago is gone. Instead, a huge, horrific monster took her place. Can people in this place really do this kind of things? They say that with great power comes great responsibility, but it’s up to the person wielding it to use it in his outlook on ‘responibilities’, whether it be bad or good.

The monster stopped it’s horrific, ill humored laughter and fixed it’s gaze at the five of us. It bared it’s teeth, looking at us hungrily as if it could eat us, gobble us down like the food supply we fed to it oy, di that backfire.

“I must thank you for the meal,” it said. The childish voice that made me pitty the little girl earlier is now gone, now deepened. Though if I listened closely, I could hear it’s voice as two, as if the little girl’s voice was now a weaker part of a beat.”The meat you have fed me was delicious. It restored my energy and helped me turn back to my true form.” Great, we fed all our meat to help a little girl, but helped a monster to kill us faster instead. Just great.

“That’s not you’re true form.” Tamora said. She sounded so sure and strong, like she wasn’t talking to a ten-foot monster that could kill us with one smack with it’s hand.”You we’re a little girl, taken hostage and cursed by an Arxi,not this ugly, destructive form”

Gantila stared at Tamora, surprised to hear a strong voice in her midst. She considered what she said for a moment, and then made a sound that was either a scoff or a grunt, or even both.”Well, this ‘ugly,destructive form’, as you put it, might not be my true form, I have learned to embrace  it. I do not know that man’s name, the Arxi who cursed me, but I owe him this new strength and power he has given me. Before the excruciating transformation, I was frail and weak, seen a little girl, incapable of doing anything great. Now, I could do everything I couldn’t do and more.” It raised it’s hands above it’s head,” I am a creature of destruction.”

“Okay, but what do you want with us?” Royage asked, impatient to get to the point.

“What do I want with you?” It said with a disgusted tone which probably hurt Royage’s pride, getting seen as pathetic by and ugly monster. I’d be hurt myself if I wasn’t so anxious.”I do not need you. You are an annoying worm.” Then he turned to me.”I am here for him. The child of the foreseen”

Before, my body was as still as it could ever be, but now it was frozen. What did it mean by “Child of the foreseen”? What am I, some sort of sacrifice for a ritual.

“Him?” Royage exclaimed in disbelief,”you came here for him?”

“My Master  requested me to retrieve a boy, traveling to the north, possessing great power. And yes, dear boy, I sense great potential in this young one.” What is this, Starwars?
