Sokka couldn't sleep. He sat in his laboratory, thinking of all the dreadful things the creature had done. What if the female monster turned out to be as bad, or worse? What if she didn't marry the creature or fell in love with a human? What if the two creatures bred savage children to destroy the world?

A ghastly face appeared at the window. There was no escape! The creature had been following him all the time, to make sure that he kept his promise.

Seeing the creature's evil expression, Sokka made up his mind. He couldn't create another monster! He snatched up his knife and hacked the unfinished female to pieces.

With a howl of devilish despair and revenge, the creature ran away into the night.

Trembling, terrified Sokka swore he would never create another monster. Hours passed. Then, in the silence, he heard the sound of a boat. The door opened and the furious creature stormed into the room.

"Do you dare to break your promise?" asked the creature.

A terrible argument followed!

"Do you dare destroy my hopes?" asked the creature.

"Never will I create another like yourself!" replied Sokka.

The creature was angry and had superhuman strength. He warned Sokka that he could create his life a misery.

"Devil, cease! Your threats cannot move me!" exclaimed Sokka.

He gnashed his teeth with rage, and swore that Sokka would suffer.

"Are you to be happy, while I grovel in wretchedness?" asked the creature.

Sokka hurled himself toward the creature, but he was helpless against the monster's enormous strength and size. The creature left with a terrible threat.

"Villain!" shouted Sokka.

"I go, but remember, I shall be with you on your wedding night!"

As the creature rowed away, Sokka was filled with a frightful feeling of doom. What terrible crimes was the creature planning for the future?

Sokka wandered around the island like a restless ghost. He wished he could stay there, lonely but safe, forever. He dare not go home.
