Overcoming her fears

Chapter 21- Abigor Returns

A/N: Bringing back a character that hasn't shown himself in a while. If you don't really remember him at all, try going back to Chapter 15-Night Terrors to refresh your memory.

Up above is a photo of how I would picture Abigor. At least in his human form ~

Abigor's POV:

My my my. If this wasn't a perfect opportunity to strike the enemy, then I didn't know what was. The ever so famous Chosen One, rendered as powerless as a mere mortal, by her own bonded wolf... such an unexpected turn of events, in my opinion. Perhaps this was the chance that I'd been waiting for, to have a nice, little, harmless chat with Jem.

I'd been watching Jem's every move for the past few days, from a very close perspective, to try and get into her mindset. I tried to figure out what she was trying to accomplish, by doing this training. It was rather odd for me to watch such a powerful being, doing such trivial things in order to "better improve" her strength.

From what I knew, she was already fully capable of mass destruction with just the flick of her finger tips. Untouched, ancient power lied in the palms of her hands - bending at her very will - but she had yet to tap into anything by mere chance. Why that was, I was still unaware of, but I planned to find out soon enough. I very well acquainted with the prophecy pertaining to the Chosen One, so those facts could be used in my favor, if ever needed.

I was a demon by blood right, and it was by my nature to be sneaky and conniving. I mostly didn't take orders from anyone. I was free to do as I pleased, for a good amount of time in the meanwhile, but I was bound to return back to my rightful place in the realm of demons. There was truly no fully escaping my duties as commander of our forces.

"You really think you have more power then me young one?" Questioned the old woman, standing her ground firm to the younger mutt. She talked big, and could definitely back it up, but I could see past her calm demeanor. She was slightly hesitant to stand up against the mutt. I'm sure she could feel the mutt's continuously growing energies, as I definitely could.

"I'm not one to back down when challenged. Even by my elders." The wolf barked. Seeming to enjoy their little test of strength.

I never did like wolves. Those arrogant creatures thought more with their useless bundles of tissue that they called hearts, rather than their complex minds. They lived up to the universal motto more than any other supernatural creatures of "Kill first, ask any to all questions later".

Like a cat, I was perched up in a high tree, a little ways away. Looking over the old woman's domain, I couldn't help but spot the visible differences from my own realm to this Overworld.

There was plentiful of greenery here. Animals of different sizes and shapes roamed throughout in complete harmony. As if completely unaware of the fact that they were enclosed within the old bat's grasps. How she managed to accomplish that, I'm not sure, but it didn't bug me not to know. I had my eyes on a much bigger prize, that was not too far away from the scene.

Jem, by what I could tell, was now fully conscious of her surroundings. She walked closely beside the tree creatures that, I presumed the old woman created with haste, towards the direction of one of the barrier's many exits.

"Can't let her leave until we chat." I thought aloud, curling my lips up into my signature devilish smirk.

Jem's POV:

Upon first waking up, I didn't feel anything like myself. I felt much more.. lighter. I felt very weak. I barely had the strength to carry my own body weight - every once in a while, I had to lean on one of Elle's tree creatures, because gravity seemed to be my worst enemy at these times.

As we got closer and closer to the barrier of Elle's domain, the three creatures began to speed up. I didn't question their motion, no matter how curious I was. I just tried my best to keep up with them, and stick close to them. I was definitely in no state to defend myself. I wasn't used to being a human.

"So we meet again," The sudden deep voice, immediately stopped all three of us in our tracks. "Chosen One."

"Show yourself!" I shouted, checking all of my surroundings.

"I'm right in front of you deary," My eyes widened, as I put two and two together. I knew that voice. I didn't think he'd return so soon to me. Looking straight ahead of me, up in a nearby tree, was Abigor. Looking as devilish as ever. "It's so wonderful to see you again. How ironic, that we'd be in the same place at the same time."

"Cut the crap. What do you want?" I snapped, not wanting to hear anymore of his mindless babble.

"You my dear. Isn't it blatantly obvious?"

"What do you want with me? How did you even get in here Abigor? Elle's domain is an evil-free zone."

"Well perhaps I'm not seen as an evil entity."

"That's bullshit, and you know that fill well. What kinda tricks are you playing at?"

"Nothing too bad my dear. But enough small talk. Let's go for a little walk, Jem."

"As if I'd go anywhere with you."

"You can, and will. Let's not forget, that I still know the exact location of everyone you've ever cared about. Should I start to go down the list of people?"

I clenched my teeth angrily. I knew Abigor definitely had an advantage over me, at this point in time. He had the perfect opportunity right now. He could most likely kill me, if I made a wrong move.

"Fine," I told him, swallowing every ounce of pride left in my body. "I'll go. But no funny business, you hear?"

"I would never. I'm a man of my word, don't you know that?"
