My Best Friend's Demigod. (COMPLETE STORY)

Chapter 31: Taken

*Crystal's POV*

I was walking on the beach, thinking. I was worried about my nightmare the other night and wondered if anything will happen.

I was afraid, what if this wasn't just a nightmare? What if he comes after me? What if he hurts me? Or worse, hurt Maui or Moana?

'What does he want from me?'

I continued on my thoughts when I see a boat coming my way. It was empty and headed to shore. I stopped and watched it land.

The sail was ripped and blackened as if it was burnt from fire. The boat had holes in it but no water was entering and sinking the boat.

'That's Odd.'

Just as the boat touched the sand, the grains of sand turned black as coal. Soon they turned a bright red then turned into little flames of fire.

"What in the-"

Just then, the whole boat engulfed into flames, smoke surrounded me. I tried to run but I was stuck, literally. It was as if something was preventing me from moving.

A figure stepped out of the flames of the ship, chuckling, sending shivers up my spine. Not because of how sinister it sounded, but because I knew exactly who this person was.

"SOMEONE HELP!!!"

I screamed as loud as I could. Over and over again, but it wasn't working. The more I tried to scream, the more I lost the ability to breathe.

The smoke around me filled my lungs and a burning feeling went up my nose. I was becoming weaker and dizzy.

The demon came in full view and grabbed my jaw so I was forced to look at him. He terrible face making shed tears from fear.

"Now you belong to me."

And before I knew it, everything went dark.

*Maui's POV*

After the night Crystal had that nightmare, I've been on edge. There's no way in the world she could describe him so perfectly and she never seen him before. It doesn't add up. He had to be invading her dreams and communicating through them.

I was walking on the beach thinking about this whole thing. I decided to go back to the village when something caught my eye.

Further down the beach, I can see a female walking towards me. Her face was turnt down, and her arms wrapped around herself. There's only one girl I know that walks like that, and when she does, it means she's worried.

I walked to her and as I got closer, a boat came into view. She turned her head towards it.

What happened next was so fast, I couldn't reacted at first. Everything was engulfed in fire and flames and only one thought came to my mind; saving Crystal.

I transformed into a hawk and flew as hard and fast as I could. By the time I made it, there were two figures.

One walking back to the boat and the other being carried by the person. I knew exactly what was happening and I dived forward. I was only a few meters away from them when the demon turned to me and stuck out his finger.

A gush of fire came forth and knocked me hard to the ground. I didn't see it coming, but it was the perfect distraction.

As I got up, I see fog cover the ocean and the boat from hell disappearing in the mist of it. The demon stood at the edge of the boat, laughing menacingly.

"She's mine now you pathetic demi-god! And you'll never see your -I'm sorry!- MY bride ever again!"

Before I could get back up, another gush of fire attacked me. I felt the agonizing pain searing through my body before I went unconscious.

*3 hours later*

I woke up in a strange tent. I started to move when I felt bandages on my arms, legs, and chest.

"What the-"

"MAUI!"

A head full of hair rammed into me and I instantly hugged the young girl.

"Hey Moana, I love you too but you're hurting me!"

I felt her tense up and back up, her face full of confusion.

"What's wrong?"

"You said I was hurting you."

"And?"

"When did you get so sensitive? You usually can't get hurt or feel pain like a mortal!"

I was about to speak when everything came back to me. The boat, the fire, Crystal, and......

"REH-NAH!"

"WHAT?!"

Me and Moana turned to the tent's entrance to see her parents.

"Crystal was taken by Reh-nah! I need to go and-"

"WHAT!", Moana shouted, "What happened to Crystal?!"

"She was taken by Reh-nah, the demon. I need to save her!"

I got up and exited the tent.

"Maui! Wait!"

I went to shapeshift when I realized I didn't have my hook. "Moana!"

I went back in the tent,"Where's my hook Moana?"

She bit her lip and looked down. With her head hung low, she pointed across the tent. I turnt to see my hook.... shattered into many pieces.

"We found it like that on the beach."

I walked to the remains of my hook and fell to my knees. I gripped my head with my hands, trying to control my anger.

"How will I save her now?"
