The Chapter you Want to Read Part 9

3.    The Chapter You Want to Read

     There I was standing with the Knotrs, and standing in front of me was the last person I wanted to see. It was the girl who took everything from me, my friends, family and most importantly my life in the normal world. She had taken me from my home and dragged me down here. Her eyes showed me that it was her.

I spoke at last “What are you doing here!? I thought you were gone. Wait… don’t you work for Fulmar! You’re a she-devil, aren't you? Yes you are I saw you transform! Wait no that was someone that looked like you? Will you explain yourself please?”

      Vanessa spoke first “This is Nora our tribe guardian she heard that you had been drug down here and I sent her off to find you. She tried to infiltrate the she-devils and I guess it didn't work out because she came running out of the house and alerted our guards to try to find you. When you came running out of the house we were relieved but then you fainted. We figured that you knew where you were and would come with us, but instead you fainted.”

      “So Nora is good, then why does she look like a she devil?”

      “I am a shape shifter but my true form is the mortal version of a she-devil. It was the curse put on me when I became a shape shifter.” Nora spoke.

      “Ok then how did you become a…” I tried to speak when I was interrupted by Garnids.

      “That is enough questions for right now. Now let’s go into the next room to discuss why we had brought you down here.”

As we walked into the next room I was blown away by what I saw. There was a big black cauldron in the middle of the room, ingredients filled shelves all around the room, and a big wooden stick was sticking out of the cauldron, probably a stirring stick. Off to the right of the room was a single door with nothing else on the wall and all of the bricks were darker than the rest.

      “Now it is time to tell you why we brought you here Jeremy,” Nora said.

      “Why you brought me here, so you were the one who took my parents and killed them!”

      “No Jeremy, a she-devil brought your parents down here to the outerwide and killed them in front of you that much is true, but then we knew that we had to get you out of there and in our village so that we can start you on your quest just like is says we should in the prophecy.” Garnids spoke that time.

      “So what you’re telling me is that I need to go on a quest?” I asked.

      “Yes, now you are getting it.” Vanessa congratulated.

      “A quest for what?”
