There was blood everywhere in a bloody dark dungeon. Dead bodies of Terks friends was spreadded on the ground.
Terk tried to scream in horror but nothing came out. One of the bodies moved It was Tarzan he still was alive even though he had more fatal wounds than his friends.
"Terk.." Tarzan said quietly and reached a hand towards her. He groaned in pain clutching his injury with his other arm.
"Tarzan! "
Terk beamed worried about her leader and friend. And rushed to his side.
She turned him around moving blood soaked hair from his face.
"Tarzan don't die" Terk pleaded her eyes started to water. A cold wind came from a door that opened Near a dark corner. Sounds of a wooden stick echoed in the dungeon it became louder each second.
Tarzan grabbed Terks arm with the last strength he has. Terk you have to get out of here!
"What? No not without you! " Terk shook her head. Refusing to turn her back on her dying leader.
"Terk listen to me" Tarzan orders with the strength he has left.
" you got to leave me behind before It's too late."
The bonking sound came closer. And a shilouette appeared in the shadows.
"Terk Run " Tarzan said weak but yet with a firm tone.
Terk almost screamed when she saw something entering into the light.
It was Queen La walking on the ceiling upside down with her staff slamming on the ground after every step she takes.
La laughed sinisterly maggots were eating her heavily burned flesh her eyes glowed bright purple including her staff.
You will never escape The city of Opar will be your tomb! La pointed a large finger nail towards Tarzan.
Tarzan breathed in with effort and died from the blood loss.
Tarzan No! No! Terk cried and cradled his body as La comes closer to strike.
Terk let out a loud scream and jolted awake. She looked around terrified. It was still dark outside and wasn't sure where she was.
She looked at her hands she's still a human but in her dream she was a gorilla Terk thought.
a candle light got lit up and the door opened. Terk felt cornered and feared for what will happen next.
Tarzan came in finding Terk in a corner shivering like a leaf with two massive eyes staring blankly to the door.
"Terk?" Tarzan spoke. And came to her side. But didn't get an answer.
"Hey what's wrong? " Tarzan asked worried and reached out his hand to touch her shoulder.
Terk twitched in respond and started to cry Backing away from Tarzan as if she saw a ghost
"help me! " Terk sobbed. Holding her arms up in defense.
"It's me Terk.."Tarzan tried to come closer.
"It's me. Please Don't be frightened."
Terk kept her head down afraid to look Tarzan in the eye.
Terk It's me I'm right here. Large Warm hands cupped Terks face to make her look at him.
Terk eyes adjusted the blur faded and recognized Tarzan finally. Terk breathed in and out rapidly And let Tarzan come closer.
Terk heard the wind blow a bit harder and dug her nails in Tarzan's shoulder blades in fear when she held on to him for protection.
"La! She's after me! She's coming to get us all"! Terk's panic grew worser and started to talk incomprehensible dialogue in fear.
"Terk calm down No one is going to hurt you! You are safe here with us."
"I won't let anything happen to you Terk. Never again." Tarzan vows.
Terk cried into her pillow. "It seemed so real Tarzan! Everyone was dying because of that Devlin. I..I couldn't stop her."
"There was blood everywhere " Terk cried.
Tarzan placed a comforting hand on her back, "hush now" Tarzan tried to calm her.
Jane also came inside room. Tarzan Jane whispered" Is she ok?"
Tarzan looked behind him and hook his head Discouraged.
"Another nightmare " Tarzan said. "And It's getting worse"
"Im worried about her Jane " Tarzan said.
Jane sat next to terk on the bed.
Terk stopped crying and moved her head. "Jane? Terk chirped softly.
"Yes I'm here." Jane said.
Terk layed on her back pulling the covers to her chin.
"You are in the tree house now Terk you can stay here aslong as you need. " Jane said with eyes full of sympathy.
Terk nodded. "I just want to be change back to normal."
And you will Terk. I will do anything to help you Tarzan said.
Terk got out of bed and made her way to the balcony Jane tried to stop her But Terk held her hand up.
"Please I just need fresh air." Terk said not liking being restricted from going anywhere.
"I need some time by myself to collect myself."
I won't go far I promise. "Terk said looking at Tarzan.
"But.. " Jane said. but Tarzan held Jane back.
"Just leave her be. " She will be back Tarzan said and gave his friend as much space as she needs.
Terk stood in the Balcony she breathed in and out she opened her eyes and jumped to grab a vine. her ability to swing from vine to vine hasn't changed It's still the same but yet different.
Terk walked over a branch but lost balance she grabbed a vine before she fell on the ground hard.
She climbed up with effort. She isn't as strong when she was a gorilla and this disadvantage could be fatal.
She climbed on a branch And could see her gorilla family sleep from above.
Maybe when she sleeps in the open air the Nightmares will be less.
Right now she just wants to be with the gorilla's.
The trumpet sounds of the elephants who spawn at night only made Terk flinch.
but calmed down within seconds. It's a bit chilly without her fur and the skimpy jungle outfit she has on didn't help keeping her warm.
Terk rested head on her knees. I have to find a way to reverse this Terk thought.
Everyday second becomes harder. It's been only a day but the desire to become herself again becomes stronger.
But there is only one sorceress who can give her life back to make this undone.
And that is La herself.
I'll face you myself If I have to. me and my friends have defeated you before and we shall do it again.
