Terk traveled away from her home before anyone wakes up. She went passed the path that leads to Tarzans tree house. She eyed the path for a while, A part of her wanted to see him and tell him about her plan. But then again she needs to do this alone.

Tarzan needs to take care of the family, and hopefully they can reunite again soon.

Terk huffed and used one of the boats that remained ashore. She has a long way to go until she reached to Basuli's tribe She wished she left tarzan a message but she's already far away and turning back would only waste more time.

Being human is a burden to her and the only way to deal with it is meet up with one of the elders who posseses one of the magic spells La used.

Maybe he knows a way to reverse this mess.

Tarzan woke up a few hours after terk left. He looked at his wife who was still snoozing. Tarzan opened the door of the treehouse to have a look around.

The weather became a bit warmer as summer in Africa is around the corner. And that will be another worry for the ape leader.

There will be hydration and the rivers will dry up leading to food shortage.

a few apes passed away last year and it still upsets Tarzan thinking about that,

While everyone was playing or swinging in the trees to fetch some banana's Terk was nowhere to be found. Tarzan climbed up a vine and made his way to her den.

"Terk"? "Are you there? " Tarzan said moving the curtain of leafs peaking in But her hut was empty, Which was strange,Tarzan looked arounf to see if she left a message but nothing was there.

Confused Tarzan slided down. "Flint" Tarzan called and flint stopped bickering with mungo for eating the most ripest Banana he found.

"Yeah? Flint answered. and Mungo sat on the gound like a puppy watching their leader attentively.

"Do you know where Terk went"? Tarzan asked.

"Uh I don't know " Flint said and Tarzan scowled a bit.

"Seriously we didn't pick on her" I really have no idea where she is" Flint said.

"Yeah her nest was empty when all of us woke up"Mungo said and started to chew on one of Flints banana's. Flint looked up annoyed

"Why you big fat grrr"...Flink said annoyed and snatched the banana away making mungo bite his own finger.

"oww" Mungo whined and confused looked around where the Banana went.

"Guys enough" Tarzan said. "I have a feeling something is wrong"

"Maybe she went to catch some termites"Flint said.

but that didn't ease Tarzans worry, Terk is well known for sleeping in, And the fact that she hasnt report back or told anyone she's leaving isnt anything like Terk.

her sudden disappearance could mean that maybe she's in danger.

"I'm having a look at the remains of the city of Opar" Tarzan said. "Hopefully la isn't behind this if she somehow survived.

"But"..Both apes said.

"Not now," Tarzan said not being in the mood for any back talk.

"I Just need to be sure " And grabbed a vine making his way to the lost city.

Tarzan felt his stomach clench together, He hopes that old Demon is not among the living. It might be foolish to face La again by himself but he didn't want to lead his friends to danger.

Terk arrived at the village where the elders lived in the southern tribe of Africa. Terk looked around hopefully she can talk to the elders but so far she's not seeing anybody only a few by passengers. It's quite late and maybe the elders already went to sleep.

Terk noticed kwami tapping his hands together. He saw Terk and his face lit up.

"Hiya Terk",! Kwami said and waved at her jolly. Terk was suprised he recognized her.

"How did you know It's me?" Terk said pointing at herself.

"Hi hi Oh I know everything!" Kwami beamed. And started to skip around like he's walking on hot coals.

Other villagers noticed Terk talking to kwami. Trying to ask him If someone can help her change back but he keeps talking in riddles.

They approached the two

"Friend of yours kwami? .." Basuli. Asked

"I think so" Kwami giggled. "She used to be more bushy" "Where did all tha hair go?

Terk looked at Basuli watching her skeptical." Basuli!" Terk spoke up.

Terk told him who she was before Basuli could ask her how she knows his name.

" La changed me into an Human. "She aimed her staff at Tarzan and I..Jumped infront of him"

"Please I need help. "You guys know alot about magic and maybe This could be my only hope. Terks eyes had so much sadness in them and Basuli took pity on the Gorilla.

I won't be able to Help you Terk but I know someone who can". Basuli said. "I appreciate your bravery so will do a good word for you so that they will assist you right away.

"Really? Terk said. "Can we talk to him now?"

The Elders who might be able to help you aren't here. They will return from their journey shortly. they are trying to close the gap that sets evil spirits free.

Terk looked slightly defeated. She wants to turn back to normal so bad. "But you can wait for them If you are willing to stay here.

"Come Terk you can rest at one of the guest huts ther is plenty of food and watr to drink.

" You must be tired from all that traveling". Terk walked after him and she realised her feet are burning from traveling and has blisters on her blisters.

"You are very kind, Thank you" Terk said and looked over her shoulder conserned at Kwami who joyfully followed a butterly around , "Is he ill from the inside? Terk looked at Basuli and his wife.

"I'm not sure.. He always acts this way during night time for a few weeks" Basuli said. He could be possesed by a unrestful spirit.

"People have been acting crazy during the time where evil spirits can leave the immortal plane, Some will look for a vessel to posses" Basuli said.

"Oh"Terk said, could it be that this is the reason why Queen La has returned?

"it could be, Our village has delth with la before I was born and I've been looking for a dagger that will destroy this demon" Basuli said.

"Rest assured Basuli me and my friends killed her off forgood this time, I wanted to keep er alive long enough to force her to change me back but I had no choice but to finish her off.

Basuli nodded. He believed Terk and when the elders come home he can tell them the good news that Tarzan and his friends finally set his tribe free from La.

Tarzan came back from the city of Opar but still there was no sign of La or Terk there, All the other Gorilla's were helping him search but nobody has seen Terk.

More worry entered Tarzan's thoughts and wondered where he has to look for her. what if she ran into humans and she assaulted her and what if she was calling for aid and nobody was there to help her?

"Tarzan? " a soft voice called him,

"Mother!" Tarzan said looking behind him and embraced his ape Mother. her fur was warm and welcoming easing Tarzan's worry as he burries his face and her fuzzy shoulder.

"Mother I feel so lost" "I really don't know what to do now".."Where could she be? Tarzan asked worried.

"I don't know..I've already checked her favorite places"Kala said.

"But we can't give up now".. "Why haven't looked everywhere maybe we should"..But Kala got interrupted when Tarzan backed away looking at his friends.

Flint and Tantor and Mungo arrived and they didn't look very happy.

"We can't find her anywhere" They said in defeat. Tarzan let go of his Mother he felt distraught and even his advanced searching skills failed to find a trail of terk.

"A few Gorilla's gave the advice that all of us need to travel further into the Jungle to look for her" Flint said.

"I was about to suggest the same thing" Kala said. "I'll come along too"

"Are you sure Mother?.."I don't want you to get hurt"

"I've faced sabor on my own to protect you Tarzan"..If I can handle that then i can handle everything" Kala said.

'But..You never told me about that"..Tarzan said feeling greater admiration for his Ape Mother.

"I'll tell you and Terk about it one day" Kala smiled gently.

We need to stick together and not keep eachother out of sight if there is indeed something thats hunting u we can face it together. Flint said.

Tarzan agreed. "Meet me at my house, I'm going to gather the others.

"flint Mungo" Look after my Mother" Tarzan said. and made his way to the others.

Jane was busy cleaning some dishes but her mind was with terk she hopes that when Tarzan comes back that he will tell her that he found her.

She would jump for joy but Tarzan has been gone almost for a day which means terk is probably left unfound.

but then a thought entered Jane's mind. She thought about Basuli's wife and the tribes men of her tribe, They know alot about spells and some of the elder witch docters battled La.

Maybe Terk went there to seek advice,But why would she leave without saying a word leaving everyone in suspense?

Jane became startled when she heard two feet land on the wood infront of the door her hand darted towards a pan to smack whoever want to enter her house. "Tarzan is that you?" Jane said anxious but firm.

Tarzan opened the door and Jane lowered her pan in relief. "Have you found her? Jane carefully asked.

Tarzan shook his head no, "Jane listen" Tarzan held to his shoulders. "I'm going to look for terk further into the Jungle"

"I need you to come with me"

"Tarzan."Jane began.

"Please Jane I cant leave you here by yourself" Tarzan said.

"No I will come with you" Jane said. "It's just that..I think I know where terk might have gone to"

"Really? Where? "Come on answer me" Tarzan said impatient but yet calm.

"I'm not sure but it's the only place where she could be going jane said and started to tell her husband about Terks possible whereabouts.

The sun started to set and Terk climbed out of the guest hut Basuli and his tribe gave her. The village seemed more colourful in day time, wild elephants could be spotted in the distance,

This looks like a nice place to live for a while, Terk never felt so refreshing back in the jungle.

Terk saw kwami again holding his head like he's having a head ace. He also seemed a bit confused with his surrpoundings

"Hi there" You seemed a bit not like yourself last night. "How are you feeling? Terk said.

"Goodmorning miss"

At night I feel a strange presence. Kwami whined. But I hope it will be over soon..By the way have we met? I've never seen you around here".

"It's Terk remember? You recognized me yesterday. Terk looked at Kwami friendly.

"Uh Terk? You mean hat loud gorilla? "What happened to you"?

"La casted a spell that was aimed for Tarzan" " I told you that last night,

"Oh Sorry I don't think I remember, Kwami said. I'll go and find something to ease this throbbing pounding of my head"

"Okay I'll see you around, " Terk said and watched him leave.

Terk couldn't sleep very well she kept waiting for the chief to come home. And also wondered about her friends. Terk always comes back to the gorilla's in the mornings when she's out by herself so hopefully they aren't looking for her now.

And If they do She hopes this is not the first place they will be looking for her, But any rationa thinking person would assume she might be here.

Terk thought about what to say when she faces her friend again, But sh can't go back to them atleast not without turning back to a Gorilla.

Terk looked up when she heard Kwami making a scene and moved the branched of the tree she was in away to have a better look.

Kwami acted funny again jumping around in a hay cart throwing hay in the air like he ended up in a chamber with golden coins. Acting jolly.

But then she saw a few Elders and realised that they are the witch docters that can maybe reverse the spell for her.

She watched them restraining a Jolly Kwami but then he became hostile and started to push the elders off when they tried to do a ritual on Kwami started saying repulsive things with a demonic accent, Cursing the Elders. The Basuli stepped in and kept him in place successfully.

a dark purple ish smoke came from Kwami when the elders started to chant in a acient language, Kwami's eyes turned red and then the strange entity left Kwami's body and collapsed.

Terk has witnessed her first excorcism, It was frightful but She's happy that Kwami seemed to act like himself again, he looked aroung warily wondering what has happened.

the elders helped Kwami up to take him home, Basuli already started to call out to Terk to meet the elders.

Hold on Basuli I'm coming, Terk made her way down sliding of a large branch but when she landed on her feet Tarzan approached Terk who had her back turned.

"Terk"? Tarzan said.

Terk flinched climbing off the large branch of the tree. "Tarzan?..How did you"?

"Jane told me you could be here to maybe ask the Elders to reverse the spell" Tarzan said.

"Why didn't you come back"?..We all thought something bad happened to you" Tarzan said.

"I couldn't I just don't feel like Im part of the family,I feel so miserable Tarzan" Terk said.

"So you just turn your back on us and desert your home"? Tarzan said. Feeling a bit annoyed.

Terk was upset with Tarzan for almost leaving for America. But now she's doing the same thing.

"I know what you might be thinking,"

"But I didn't abbandon home"..I'm still home I just moved to a different area".

"I will be back Tarzan but not until I've tried everything to change back." Terk said.

Tarzan nodded.

"You're still my best friend Terk"..I wished you could see that I won't think of you less for staying a human" Tarzan said.

"You've risked so much to save me Terk..Why did you do it? Tarzan said.

"I couldn't do it."I might have gave up my only chance to change back" "If I let you die then the guilt will end my life". "Getting what I want is never worth it If Someone has to die for It"

"Thank you Terk, I'll never forget what you've done Tarzan said. "I know that there is another reason why you did this".. I hope when you are ready you'll be honest with me"

Terk said nothing keeping her eyes to the ground.

Tarzan exhaled, I've brought everyone else alng too, You can explain yourself to them too if you wish" I'll see again maybe tomorrow"

Tarzan turned around to leave,Maybe he'll stay with the villagers until tomorrow morning to catch up with Basuli and the tribes Elder.

Terk placed a hand on Tarzans shoulder placing a kiss against his cheek, If only she could share a passionate kiss with Tarzan but she must respect Jane as his wife and him too.

"Terk"! Tarzan said cupping his cheek, "Why did you just do that"?

"It's a token of my gratitude Terk said. "And my love" Terk thought eying Tarzan lovingly.

"You're my best friend too" Terk said.

Tarzan smiled, "I will help you change you back to normal,"

"don't lose hope because where is a will there is a way, And together we'll find it" Tarzan said caresses her hair and they held eachother.

The wind hauled as night time came the tropical wind flied all the way to the deserted City of Opar. some of the pebbles of the broken City started to go back to its original place like puzzle pieces. a light pink Aura traveled over to the City.

It seemed like the city was regenerating its self back to its former state, The gates of the underworld opened when a bright glowing pink light became visible from the dept of the Earth.

A skeleton hand with burning remains of a corpse emerged from the Abbys from the underworld. and snatched the staff of opar that floated above the Abbys.

"Ah my staff" A dry demonic voice croaked. "at last" and la came out of the Abbys that seemed like a eternal prison of pain and tornment.

"You can't stop me ape man" la sneered I shall hunt you and that other hairless she monkey until I have your soul.

La made her way out of the underworld and looked at her city that was still in the progress of building itself back.

"I'm going to get you" La chanted demonically as she lit up her staff to turn herself into her former form but her eyes oozed with wickedness and a soul less emptiness in her iris.

She walked towards the quiet hall of opar slamming the staff on the ground with every step she takes her skirt flowed gracefully in the wind.

,.."I'm going to get you" a snicker echoed through the throne room of Opar as the leopard guards remained in a kneeling down position.

She will face tarzan again soon and this time she will have her revenge.

A/N: Kwami is an african sonic unleashed Character that I really like, Not sure why I've out him in there but I was in no mood to create an O.C character.
