The Mysteries of Devil's Anvil

[CaptainMonkeys]

Chapter Four

"Aye, I be right. There WAS a human in my cave. Hello, young lady...." the distorted animal said. "Ye shall be a nice addition to me collection!"

"Wh-what? What collection? I'm no pirate..." Grace stuttered, frightened.

"Aye, ye will be great for it!" he exclaimed. He took out a staff of four sticks that twisted around each other, with a green orb perched carefully on top. "Now, I must.. er.. sacrifice yer soul so I may have yer body." He raised the staff, and a black hole started forming at the top of it. Grace pulled out, without thinking, her two pistols, loaded them with a steel bullet, and shot at the orb at the top. The world seemed to slow down as the black hole's power increased. She started gasping for breath. Grace felt weak, and she fainted from the overpowering power of the black hole. The last thing she heard was the *SNAP* of wood.

"That poor soul.. will she wake up soon?"
"Shhhh.. she needs to rest.."
"But.."
"I don't care if your pie is burning, we must stay near!"

"Erm..." Grace muttered.

"She's awaking!'
"That's a surprise, she must have a pure soul if she was to survive that horrid beast he summoned..."

"What beast? Who are you?" Grace demanded, groggy from her passing out.

"Shh... you need to rest."
"Why can't we tell her who we are?"
"All will be explained in good time.. In good time, my dear Grace. Now rest."

"I will not! Tell me who you are!" Grace yelled as loud as she could, half-asleep.

"Can't we tell her?"
"No. We must wait. This is something she must figure out herself."
"But.. what if.."
"That can't happen." Grace felt her eyes grow heavier than they were on those words, and she passed out once again.
