The Forest Guardians Chapter 6
Rachel and Cassie woke up on an old mat on a stone cold floor. Rachel scanned the dark room carefully and saw red eyes peering out at them from the corner.
"I am pleased you're awake." The voice said quietly. Rachel was very unnerved by his eyes. They did not blink once and she was becoming afraid with every passing second.
"Where are we?! Why did you kidnap us?!" Rachel hissed.
"Because I require your assistance."
"Never…,"
"You will do as I tell you…or else…," he responded, his eyes narrowing.
"The guardians will save us!" Cassie said, now glaring at the red-eyed being.
"Why would they save you when there is nothing to fear?" The red-eyed villain came closer and they saw him staring at them even harder. They could also see his side bleeding and large drops of red-black blood were dropping on the floor.
"Rachel…," Cassie said, now feeling very afraid.
"You will help me…I need your powers to help cure me." He said softly.
"WHAT?!"
"Yes. I had a little…mishap…with your guardians…as you call them. You will help me by leading Toku here to help me."
"NEVER!"
"Toku is the leader. One drop of his blood and my wounds will disappear. He would come for you two if he knew that you were in grave danger."
"I will never lead him here! I won't let you harm him!" Rachel snapped. He let out a growl and then lunged for Cassie. Both Cassie and Rachel ducked and tried to find a way out, but it was a lot harder than it looked.
"You will do what I tell you!" He said angrily. "I am not the monster they make me out to be!"
"Yes, you are! You're trying to trick us!"
"If I wanted to kill you, I would have already done so." He said, sounding exasperated.
"I don't trust you!"
"Don't make me use force!" He said, now using his powers to pull Cassie nearer to him!
"RACHEL!" Cassie screamed.
"CASSIE!"
Soon, Cassie was ripped from Rachel's grasp and grabbed by the red-eyed being. She then became frightened as the being put his lips to her ear.
"Scream…." He said as he then let his sharp teeth gently scratch over her neck and ears. Not enough to hurt, but just enough to scare the living daylights out of her.
"RACHEL! RACHEL, HELP!" Cassie screamed, now afraid he was going to eat her. Rachel screamed too, thinking he was about to eat Cassie.
"Perfect…," He smirked. At that moment, they all heard a deep voice growl in the room.
"Let them go…." The voice thundered.
"Chromastone. I should have known you would be coming soon."
"CHROMASTONE, STAY BACK! IT'S A TRAP!" Cassie screamed.
"How could he find us that soon?!" Rachel gasped.
"Simple. Your screams. Toku can always know when you're in trouble so he sent his guardian to save you." The being smiled deviously.
"I'm losing my patience…Vilgax," Chromastone hissed.
"VILGAX?!" The girls screamed.
"Yes…," he responded, now changing his form in front of the girls. He was the tall, alien-like monster from the history books. He then ran to grab the girls, but Chromastone threw crystal spears at him to keep him back!
"RUN! NOW!" Chromastone ordered. And with that, the girls ran to him and he used his teleportation device to quickly take them out of there. Vilgax roared in anger, but then clenched his side in pain.
"I will get you two…this isn't over …," he hissed angrily.
Meanwhile back at the house…
Both girls were shaken up and did not want to leave their house for anything! They heard a gentle knock on the door, but were too scared to answer.
"Hello? Cassie? Rachel? Are you both home?"
Both girls just whimpered in the corner, they recognized that it was John's voice, but they both were still scared.
"C'mon, you two, it's just me…you know I'm not gonna hurt you." He cooed through the door.
"JJJJJJJJohn, I'm sorry, but we're too scared…"
"Of me?" He chuckled.
"N-No! The One, Vilgax, is after us!"
"I heard of that. Don't be afraid. Now c'mon, let me in…,"
"It may be Vilgax trying to trick us!" Cassie whimpered.
"You two are really scared, aren't you?" He whispered in a concerned manner. They then saw the locks opening on their own! There was no way to open them from the outside!
"CASSIE, RUN!" Rachel screamed. The fact that the locks opened on their own was enough for her!
"Wait a minute, you two!" He said as he literally chased after them. Rachel and Cassie ran in their room, but the minute they tried to close the door, John put his foot in the door to block them. "Hold on!"
"Push Cassie! PUSH!" Rachel panicked.
"I'm trying!" Cassie responded. Suddenly, they were both pushed back! Not to where they would have been hurt, but forceful enough! Rachel bounced on the bed and Cassie was gently tossed on the rug. John opened the door and saw both girls struggling to stand. He cocked a curious brow and picked up Cassie and gently tossed her on the bed and then he began to tickle her stomach.
"AH! AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HELP! RAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHCHEL! HELP!"
"Yeah, Rachel, come over and help her." He smiled as he narrowed his eyes playfully. Rachel ran over to help, but John literally grabbed her and pinned her under him. Now he had both girls!
"Now, calm down, you two; it's really me." He said as he leaned down and both girls clenched their teeth ready for something awful. That's when they felt gentle kisses on their foreheads. Both of them slowly looked up at him and he smiled at them.
"Now I'll let you both up if you both trust me," He smiled. "If not, I'll tickle you both!" He said as he then began to gently tickle them, making them giggle.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH WE TRUST YOU!"
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA JOHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHN! NOHOHOHOHOHOHOOHOHOHOHOHOHHOHOHOOHHOHO!"
He then finally stopped and let the two breathe. After a few minutes, they heard the sound of thunder and both girls jumped. He quickly grabbed them and held them both to his chest.
"Easy…it's just rain. I heard about Vilgax; don't be afraid. The guardians heard too and they will be here soon." John whispered, now gently kissing their heads and rubbing their backs.
"H-How do you know so much about them?"
"That's a story for another time." He said. He then rubbed their heads and held them close til both fell asleep.
Meanwhile…
"The girls are in danger; he will continue to hunt for them. Chromastone and Big Chill; you two keep an eye on the area. I will protect those two personally," a deep voice cooed in the darkness.
guestsurprise's words: What do you think will happen next? Who do you think has become the girl's protector in addition to Big Chill and Chromastone?
To guestsurprise: Whoa! The red eyed guy is Vilgax?! Spooky! As for the girl's third protector, hmm? Whampire, maybe? Four Arms? It's quite a mystery. :)
To everyone else: Please leave guestsurprise a review, but no flames!
