A/N: Hello peoples :D I know I haven't updated in a couple days, but I've been busy, and high school requires too much homework, sooo…yeah…
Ch. 10
Beck winced as he slowly awoke.
He slowly sat up and looked around.
The last thing he remembered was being a pink and lovey-dovey land, surrounded by adorable little pink creatures, that they had called Chers.
That's why he was so confused when the land around him was dark and dry.
He looked up at the hill he had fallen from, it was the same hill.
All of the trees were in the same spot, but they were all dead and horrid looking.
Beck swallowed nervously and stood up.
"Andre? Tori? Cat? Robbie? Jade?" He shouted as he glanced around.
No one was in sight. None of his friends, or any of the Chers.
"Hello?" He called out.
No one responded.
So, he just decided to climb back up the hill and glance around.
He walked, and it seemed like it got darker with every step.
He flinched when he heard someone rusting in the leaves, that were once heart shaped, but now they were regularly shaped, but dead and brittle.
He swallowed and looked around.
Jade?" He asked nervously.
He flinched again when he heard a maniacal laugh.
It stopped just as fast as it started, as well.
His heart raced as he felt his palms starting to sweat.
The rustling started sounding like footsteps.
He swallowed again and breathed heavily as he spun around.
"You haven't got a chaaaance…we're gonna get you…you haven't got a chaaaance…we're gonna get you…" a high voice sang in a sinister tone.
Beck's heart raced even faster as his fear grew.
He screamed at the top of his lungs when a small blue creature, with razor sharp teeth, one eye, and blood covering its paws and mouth jumped him from the front out of nowhere.
"Let me love you!" It shouted in a satanic voice as it tried clawing at him.
He screamed and punched it off of him, after it dug into the flesh on his arm.
As soon as it fell off of him, another one jumped him from behind.
"You will die," one of them groaned in a bone-chilling tone.
"Get off!" Beck shouted as he tried getting the malevolent creatures off of him.
More of them started emerging out of nowhere.
"Eat some candy!" One of them ordered as it tried offering him some more of the heart shaped candies.
"No!" Beck screamed before pushing it away and running as fast as he could.
He had no idea what the hell was going on.
All he knew if that the freaky little creatures that were once pink and lovable, were demonic, and trying to murder him.
He ran until he was out of breath.
He glanced around, and saw that the Chers were nowhere in sight.
As soon as he turned around, one of them popped out of nowhere, making him scream and fall backwards.
Before he could get up, he felt one of the Chers lift him up. He could tell it was a Cher due to the razor sharp claws digging into his skin.
He felt a few more holding him off of the ground before they started carrying him away.
"Let me go!" He shouted as he was about to roll off of them, but before he could, a Cher hissed at him, only about an inch from his face, making him flinch and scream in fear.
They gripped onto his limbs to keep him from escaping as they carried him.
He looked around as they did so.
"Uh…where are we going?" He muttered.
"Shh…" one of the Chers replied softly.
"Don't shush me," Beck retorted.
"SHH" One of them hissed at him, making its one eyes turn red.
Beck pressed his lips together to keep himself from saying anything else.
He furrowed his eyebrows as he saw a mountain coming into view.
He kept his mouth shut as they went through the giant opening at the base of the mountain.
His eyes widened, and his jaw dropped as they entered the mountain, where, at least, 2000 creepy Chers were gathered.
The Chers were all cheering and jumping up and down.
The Chers pushed Beck off of them, onto his face on the rocky ground.
His jaw dropped when he saw what they were all cheering for.
There was a large clearing, and in that clearing, were his friends.
Each of them on their knees, and their wrists restrained over their heads.
They were barely conscious, if they were, they were giggling subtly.
Robbie and Cat were giggling in a very weary manner.
Tori and Andre were completely unconscious.
But Jade wasn't with the rest of them, she was in the same position, on a separate piece of ground, farther back, but higher up.
The cheering of the Chers became silent as a different, unfamiliar voice rang.
"Hello Beck," it greeted. It was deep and maniacal.
"Who are you?" Beck exclaimed, unsure of where the voice was coming from.
"I'm sure you've heard the name…Gormogon," he stated before chuckling.
"Gormogon? How—" he started asking, but Gormogon cut him off.
"I have my ways, Beck. But I just wanted to explain that I'm surprised. You weren't supposed to be pulled out of my spell, you were supposed to be eaten by my precious little Chers. You were all supposed to fail," he explained.
"Well, I guess you thought wrong, because, here I am, and we're gonna make it to Aria, save Jade's father, and defeat you," Beck stated confidently.
"Don't be so sure…as far as I can see, your friends are basically dead…unless you'd like to save them…" he offered.
"Uh, yeah…I'd kinda like to save them," Beck replied in a 'duh' tone.
"Ok, I'll give you choice," he offered
"Choice?" Beck repeated.
Beck watched as a concentrated limb of smoke circled around Tori, Robbie, Andre, and Cat.
"You can either choose your dear friends. Which by the way is the smart thing to do, since you'll be saving 4 people opposed to the latter," he explained.
"What's the latter?" Beck asked nervously, even though he was 99% sure he knew what it was.
"The latter is…you could leave your 4 friends to be eaten by my Chers, and save your precious Jade. The girl you care about so much. You could save her," he offered.
Beck breathed heavily as he thought about his options
Either, save Robbie, Cat, Andre, and Tori, and leave Jade to be eaten by hellish creatures, thereby saving 4 lives as opposed to 1…
Or save Jade, and have less assistance in killing Gormogon, and also killing 4 innocent people.
He knew which was the smarter move…but his heart wanted the latter more than anything.
Jade wanted nothing more than to see her father again, and save him, so leaving her to be eaten made his heart hurt.
He couldn't let his other friends be eaten though.
"You only have so much time Beck, my Chers are starving," Gormogon taunted.
"Alright, alright, alright…I've made my decision," he announced.

A/N: Ok, so I received a review from another guest saying, "Bravo you were actually capable of reading my review. I figured my advanced vocabulary would be too difficult for your diminutive brain to handle." Um…I'm sorry…were you trying to make a point there or…
Anyway…REVIEW PLEASE :)
