Chapter 11
Outer Demons
"You're too useless to do anything? No… Prove it then." Chloe fought with herself. She was in a dark room with a few torches here and there. But other than that it was a dark, eerie, horrible place. She was tied to a stone chair fighting with her inner demons. Suddenly a dark version of her appeared in front of her. It didn't open its mouth but still talked. "Hah! You're so sad and pathetic! You can't even turn into a zilla! PATHETIC! P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C! Just try to escape on your own.
Aidan walked through the snow trying to find where Chloe had gone. All in one week they had made a 'home' that served as the base of the Heroes of Minecraftia. No one had volunteered to search for Chloe, so he went on his own. He saw a weird looking tree and ran towards it realizing it was a tree house. Assuming it was Chloe he yelled. "Chloe! We need you! I- an agile man (woman?) jumped out of a window and landed behind him. "What do you want? Money? Food? That damn journal?" the – now clearly a man – man said. He spoke quickly like he was paranoid of…Something. "The journal of who?" Aidan asked turning to face the man. "The one you seek." The man smiled and jumped into the tree house leaving the journal behind. "How do you even jump that high? Aidan thought grabbing the journal. He ran towards a cave to stay warm. Lighting a torch he started to read. "What's this?" he mumbled to himself looking at a separate piece of paper. "A map? Ransom note? What is it? Who was it?" Aidan asked himself unfolding the paper. It was a map and a note. "I have taken your 'ChloeZilla'. Do not look for her, I will kill you. If you do want a pathetic welp back follow the map. Bring One thousand gold bars. ~ Cleanser of Weakness." Aidan read tearing up.
"Help… I'm too weak…" Chloe sobbed. "The more you say it won't make you stronger." Her now outer demon said. "Doesn't change anything for you also," Chloe said "You're me, so you are just as strong." Chloe concluded. "I'm not even in my final form yet," Her doppelganger said smiling. "My final form would be my physical form." Chloe smiled a bit. Then she heard an explosion and light flooded into the building.
"There it is!" Aidan said to himself running to a stone building. "I need a TNT cannon!" He quickly remembered Kevin's instructions on how to make a TNT cannon. "Three… Two… One…" The TNT flew at the building blowing a hole in the building. Aidan ran to the hole (Which was more like half of the building gone) drawing his sword. "Wh- Who's there?" a voice from inside the building asked. "Feeley… Aidan Feeley." Aidan said running into the building. He ran straight into a 'moat' and tripped. "Aidan! I got thi- The agile man appeared out of seemingly nowhere. "Where's the gold?" He asked quickly. "the tip of my sword," Aidan said pointing his sword at the man. "Come get it." Aidan ran through the water and climbed on the platform. Chloe felt a weird feeling and the she realized what was happening. She was turning. "Aidan go! Don't get crushed!" She yelled forcing Aidan to retreat. Chloe roared into the sky causing small 'earthquakes'. Chloe stomped all over the building turning it to dust. She ran away from the dust slowly turning back into her human form. Aidan ran after her running surprisingly easily through the snow covered plains. Chloe fell to the ground out of exhaustion. Aidan soon caught up with her and kneeled down. "Turning into a zilla is hard… Don't judge." They smiled and laughed. "Which ways home?" Chloe asked standing up. "Down the yellow brick road." Aidan said walking towards the forest. "Oh yeah I have your journal." Aidan took out her journal and handed it to her. "I don't need it. But I'll keep it." Chloe smiled.
Authors Note: Yes the chapter ends like that… Don't judge. JAnyways I would like to thank my friend Chloe for supporting me and giving me ideas. Sadly I didn't get to use some ideas in this chapter. ALSO if you think this chapter was unimportant just WAIT until the next chapter. This has been LegendFruit with his first author's note 'signing off'!
