Van Bloot watched her from behind the plants. With nowhere to go and no other way to figure out exactly when he was, it didn't Van Bloot long to decide to follow her. Unfortunately for him, she could have ported out at any time. It then occured to him that she may not have had her scanner with her. That would have certainly explained why she was putting the plants in her backpack- she was probably being forced into harvesting the plants for someone.
She was vulnerable, and considering who her parents were, she was probably ready for revenge. Van Bloot was more eager than ever to take over the world, and this human knew more about it than he did. All he had to do was kidnap her, explain the circumstances, and let her lead him to whatever was left of his troops. He could figure out the rest later, but right now he didn't have time to. It was time to put the first part of his plan into action- catching that human.
A vine snare soon wrapped itself around her left leg. The human fell to the ground as Van Bloot began pulling her towards him. She cut the vines with her machete and ran again. She ran through a large group of trees. She was running to the safest place she could think of, but she didn't know what to do after that.
She got to an old house and slammed the door behind her, making sure to lock it. Then she ran to a small bedroom and locked herself in it. But she still knew she wasn't safe. The human could hear Van Bloot's footsteps as he got closer and closer. There was a small window, and she quickly opened it.
Van Bloot heard the sound, and so did she. Krystella's daughter knew enough about creatures to know that if a human could hear something, so could a creature. So instead of trying to escape through the window, she ran into the tiny, little bathroom and hid behind the door.
Van Bloot didn't catch her on that try. Upon breaking down the bedroom door and seeing the window open, he wasted no time in running through the wall. The human female bit her bottom lip in an attempt to reminded herself not to whimper, scream, or hyperventilate.
The sound him breaking through the wood caught the attention of some nearby creatures. Knowing where it must have been coming from, they ran to the old building as fast as they could. Van Bloot was already gone, and the human was sitting on the bathroom floor, knees pulled up to her chest and her arms wrapped around her legs.
"What happened, Dust?" a female creature asked her as soon as she saw the human in the bathroom
"Van Bloot."
"Are you sure it was the real Van Bloot?" the creature asked. She looked very much like a blond mouse in a short purple dress and knee-length tights. She looked like she was a little younger than the human, but she was clearly at least in her mid-teens. "He disappeared before you were even born!"
"I know what I saw!" the human female got louder as she stood up. She was still afraid of what had just happened, and her creature friend knew it. "He told me what his name was!"
The creatures didn't take her seriously. They assured her that it was not the real Van Bloot and that someone was just playing a prank on her. Some of the older ones warned her to get back to work before the real Van Bloot really did come to take her away.
"That was the real Van Bloot!" she screamed as they walked away "We are all in danger!"
Unfortunately for the residents of that building, Van Bloot also heard her. He was hiding in the trees she had ran through, and he stayed there, waiting for an opportunity to talk with her privately. He watched as the human and the mouse-like creature fixed the wall after the other creatures left to return to work. His patience was wearing thin by the time she had to go back to the pond, but Van Bloot was careful to not be seen until she was distracted by her work.
He watched as she cut a few plants and put them in her backpack. He had already decided that the first thing he was going to have to do was get that machete away from her. He did so by wrapping a vine snare around her arm and giving it a slight tug. The human almost fell over again, but she quickly regained her balance. But Van Bloot got the result he wanted and quickly began to pull her in.
Her screaming got her the attention of the nearby creatures again, but Van Bloot wasn't worried about them. They were too far away to do anything to stop him. By the time they got to the pond, Van Bloot had already knocked out the human and got away with her.
There were mountains in the distance, and Van Bloot could be seen flying towards them. But none of the other creatures could fly. The mouse-like creature blamed herself for not watching over her friend, but it was too late now. All she could do was send a letter to the human's brother and hope he knew what to do. After all, no one else was going to believe Van Bloot carried a naughty person into the mountains; that was just a myth parents told their children to get them to behave.
