hi!!! i'm sry if i am bing a hassle, but i finished the next two chapters of Creatures & Master, and i am mostley dun with the fourth. here is chapter 2:
Chapter Two
The Creature Islands
After about five minutes, Shimaki had suddenly stopped. Joe flew off of him and landed on something that made a small groan when he landed. When he turned around, he realized it was a girl who seemed about his age. She had astonishing green eyes and light brown hair that reached the middle of her back. It was wavy and perfectly outlined her face.
“I am terribly sorry!” Joe blushed. He held out his hand.
“Don’t worry about it,” the girl said. She took Joe’s hand and pulled herself up. “My name is Amy.”
“I’m Joe. I am really sorry! I had flown off my creature. He was going so fast and suddenly stopped”—Joe said.
“Don’t worry. Calm yourself down.” Amy said. “Is that your creature over there?” She pointed to Shimaki.
“Yeah. His name’s Shimaki.”
“He is so adorable! Mine is right behind me. Her name is Sakra.”
Joe looked past Amy and saw a cat-like creature that looked a little identical to Shimaki.
“It is very nice to meat you, Joe,” Sakra said.
Joe nodded in agreement.
“It is very nice to meet you,” Shimaki said, “”Princess Amelia Mnair.”
“Princess?!” Joe was very surprised.
“Please don’t bow,” the Princess said. “I hate to be known as a princess. I’m Amy, just Amy.”
“Why’s that?” Joe couldn’t see why anybody wouldn’t want to be royalty.
“I. . . I don’t want to talk about it,” Amy said. She looked away with a sad look on her face.
Joe was very curious, but if Amy didn’t want to talk about it, he wasn’t going to pressure the subject.
“Well,” Shimaki said, “if I can’t call you ‘princess,’ may i call you ‘Miss Amy?’”
“Yeah, that’s okay,” Amy said. “Just as long as nobody calls me a princess.”
“Um,” Joe said, “could we please know why we are here now?”
“Settle down, Joe,” Sakra said. “Only half of us are here.”
Joe sat down on a nearby rock. He didn’t know why, but he felt he had to apologize to Amy.
“I’m sorry,” Joe said. “I didn’t mean to get you sad.”
“It’s not your fault,” Amy said. “You don’t need to apologize. There really is no reason to.”
The two told one another about themselves without letting go their personal lives. Through talking, the two became fast friends.
Sakra and Shimaki smiled at each other during Amy and Joe’s conversation. They were thinking of how good their friendship will be for everyone around them, including themselves.
After about half an hour, the two had seen two figures coming towards them. One came from the sky and the other from the woods ahead of them.
As the creatures entered the clearing, Joe could see them clearly. The one that traveled in the sky was a griffin and had a young girl on its back and the other one was a reptile-like creature with a boy that looked just a little older than him and Amy.
When the creatures stopped and the two new people got off of their creatures, the boy looked around. He saw the other six but didn’t acknowledge their existence.
What are we doing in this dump,” he asked his creature.
“Umm, Tom,” Sakra said to the boy, “let’s sit down and get settled and everything will be explained.”
Tom, with a look on his face that read, “how dare you say that to me,” sat down with his creature in the circle everyone else had already formed.
“Before we begin,” the griffin said, “we need to introduce one another.”
Sakra started telling everyone who everyone was and how old they were. Amy was thirteen, the same age as Joe, the little girl was seven years old and her name was Kristie, and Tom was fourteen. Kristie’s creature’s name was Konso, and Tom’s was named Pensa.
By the way he acted, Joe concluded that Tom was a bratty know-it-all kid. Just what we need, Joe thought. A full-of-himself kid who will most likely endanger this whole mission. He didn’t know exactly why they were there, but he knew it was important, so he was still as worried as he would be if he did know.
“Now that we are all introduced,” Pensa said, “now we can explain why you are all here. I think Sakra will be the best at explaining. Sakra?”
“My friend and myself are, what your people would call us, scientists,” Sakra said. “One day, we had found a chemical in the ground of an island southwest of here. We had found that it had the influence of a creature that used to live there a long time ago.
“That creature was made fun of more than any other creature on that island. He had gotten so mad at one point that he had actually killed every other creature on that island. He had wanted to kill all the other creatures on the other islands, but before he could go anywhere, an angry creature who’s love had been killed by him had come to that island to kill him. She had succeeded, but her job was not yet done.
“She knew that he was a special creature that never really died. His spirit would wander until his quest was finished. To stop him from being his own species’ extinction, she had extracted the evil out of his spirit and turned it into a chemical with a special spell only she could do. It was sealed into the ground of that island, never meant to be found.
“To make sure nobody would ever walk onto that island and accidentally extract the evil from the ground, she used another of her spells. It allowed her to make all of the creatures forget there ever was that island. She had to sacrifice herself in order to do this, but she knew it was worth it.
“A while ago, my partner and myself had found that island and extracted the chemical by accident. By examining it, we found out the story i just told you. We knew that if any creature came in contact with it, the evil will overtake that creature’s body and will finish the quest its previous owner wanted to finish.
“There was an accidental spill caused by my partner, Takuta, who is a little clumsy. The spill included that chemical and it spilled on him. You should know the rest.
“I know he is still good and I wish to extract the evil out of him. Now, that creature that had previously gotten rid of it was and still is the only creature who could do any spells, so that is out of the question to fix him. But, before the accident, we had created a chemical that can extract the chemical from any spirit.
“But, I do not have this chemical any longer. Once the evil had taken over Takuta’s spirit, he had knocked me out. When I woke, he had gone, and the cure went with him.”
“Wow,” Amy said. “So, we know how you are involved in this, but what about the other three?”
“I’m her brother,” Shimaki said. “I became friends with Takuta through Sakra. Pensa is actually Takuta’s girl”—he cleared his throat when Pensa hissed at him—“best friend.”
Amy choked down a laugh.
“And Konso is Takuta’s brother,” Shimaki finished, choking down a laugh himself.
“Where do we humans come into this,” Tom said, sounding like he was going to die of boredom.
“We will not be able to defeat him without the help of humans,” Konso said, “Humans have a lot of strengths we creatures don’t and need. The creature who defeated the evil long ago herself had to have the help of a human. This time, we need as many as we can. This has been going on for about eight years, and we can’t wait anymore. Takuta has gotten enough followers to satisfy himself and shall start to attack very shortly.”
“Why would you need to wait any longer, anyway,” Joe asked.
“You know why, Joe,” Shimaki said. “Think of today. Didn’t anything seem surprising to you? We waited this long already because we needed as many as you as we could. And we figured that the youngest age for any one of you to be should be seven years old.”
Joe thought for a little bit. Then he knew what was going on.
“My sister! Sarah!” Joe revealed the answer to everyone else.

here is the third chapter:
Chapter 3
Secrets, Wondering, and Worrying
“What about your sister,” Amy asked.
“I didn’t realize it before,” Joe said. “How stupid am I?! Only certain people can talk to and see the creatures, like us. And my sister tried to calm Shimaki down today when he got... wound up. That means she was able to see and hear him. I didn’t notice. She is six years old, and if she was a year older, she would be here too. But, i have to wonder, would there be another creature that would have been her own?”
“No, Joe,” Pensa said. “You and Sarah would both have Shimaki. Nobody else believes there is good left in Takuta. There are a lot of creatures that would never join him, but they still don’t believe us. They are very disappointed in Sakra. They think she is talking nonsense about the whole chemical thing. Even though all four of us try to persuade them, they just don’t believe us. Therefore, you and Sarah would both have Shimaki.”
“But,” Joe said, “that means if both me and Sarah were in trouble and couldn’t get out of it and the only one who was there to help us was Shimaki, he would have to help two people instead of one. That isn’t fair.”
“We know that,” Sakra said. “But Shimaki is the strongest of the four of us. That is why we sent him to you. We know everything about each of you. And, yes, that means we also know about what happens to you at home, whether it is good or bad.”
Kristie, Joe, and Amy looked sad at this.
“Nothing bad happens to me at home,” Tom said. “Don’t you even say that anything does.”
“You would be surprised at the things that are right in front of you, Tom,” Shimaki said. “You may not be able to see something that involves you until someone reminds you of what has happened. But enough of that. You all need to get some sleep. Don’t worry about a thing. Just in case, the four of us will guard you to make sure nothing bad happens to you.”
This would all be really easy for them, since creatures don’t need sleep unless they are one of the very few creatures that are part human.
Amy didn’t want anyone to get hurt, that was true. Her kind nature doesn’t allow her to want anyone or anything to get hurt. She is even a vegetarian and doesn’t like things that pollute the environment. But, she wasn’t sure if she could hurt anything in order to keep a whole race from becoming extinct.
Sure, they hadn’t said anything about her hurting any creature. But she could tell that they would need to. She could tell that they would need to fight evil Takuta’s followers in order to stop them. How could she do that? She didn’t know what, how, or why, but something always stops her before she can do anything that involves harming anything else. Well, at least things that aren’t absolutely necessary.
She knows that if she does this, which she wants to and knows she must, it is absolutely necessary to hurt the followers of Takuta. But that she just couldn’t do.
What am I going to do now, Amy asked herself. It’s too late to turn back, so I need to go on. But I just can’t.
She lied down on her side so that nobody could see her face and started to cry.
I just can’t do this.
She went to sleep with a very heavy mind and only got about half an hour of sleep until she woke up from a dream.
In her dream, she was fighting a version of what her mind had thought might be one of Takuta’s followers. At first, she hesitated and wasn’t going to fight them at all. But, once she hit them, she couldn’t stop. It was almost like she went mad. She kept hitting them and hitting them until they died. And she went around killing everyone in sight. She couldn’t help it. She killed Kristie, Sakra, Tom (which she didn’t really mind because she didn’t particularly like his actions, but it still bothered her at least some), even Joe.
She was really happy she woke up from her dream, but she wasn’t able to get back to sleep afterwards. And there was at least six more hours before dawn. What was she supposed to do until then? If she couldn’t get back to sleep before dawn, she would be slowing everyone down and she wouldn’t be able to keep her eyes open.
So she tried very hard to get back to sleep, but she couldn’t. If only her stupid mind would stop thinking about that nightmare, she would actually be able to sleep. Her mind is always doing that. It is always makes nightmares for her she isn’t able to forget for about a day or two. Once, it created a nightmare she couldn’t forget for weeks.
Then, she found something else to think about. But that didn’t even let her fall asleep. It kept her awake for a long time, wondering. When Sakra had said about them knowing everything about the four humans, she wasn’t the only one that looked sad. She saw that Joe and Kristie did too. So that meant that they had something wrong at home, just like her.
And Tom obviously had something wrong at home too, because of what Shimaki had said after Tom said that there was nothing wrong at his home. There must be something wrong if Shimaki lectured him about not noticing things that are right in front of you directly to him.
So something is wrong either with each of them, or something that concerns or involves them. That would just make the four creatures worry even more.
It must be really hard having four partners who have something wrong at home while helping them with a mission like this, Amy thought. I wish I could help. . .
She was trying to think of two things: one was what might be wrong with everyone else, which she couldn’t think of any solutions. and the other was to find a way to help the creatures from worrying about the four of them. But she couldn’t think of any solutions to that, either.
She spent about one hour trying to figure out solutions and the rest of the time trying to go to sleep. After about six and a half hours of trying, Sakra nudged her.
“Come on, Amy,” Sakra said. “Time for us to go.”
Amy got up with her eyelids drooping down, trying to cover her eyes.
“Did you sleep well,” Sakra asked.
“Um, yeah,” Amy said. “I slept fine.”
Okay, so she only had half an hour to sleep. But she didn’t want to worry them even more. She just had to try to not be slow and keep her eyes open. That would work. That would keep them from worrying either way. She just hoped she’d be able to pull it off. If she wouldn’t, everyone would have to stop and wait for her to try to get to sleep and they wouldn’t be able to help anyone for a few days.
Amy stood up and waited for everyone else to wake up. It took about ten minutes. She would have never guessed it would take so long to wake a fourteen-year-old up. She stopped herself after that thought so she wouldn’t go on to tease Tom. He didn’t seem to be a very nice kid or a kid anyone would get along with, but maybe he would change over time.
“Okay, everybody,” Pensa said. “Let’s go. Konso, please travel by the sky.”
Konso nodded and flew up into the sky.
“Amy,” Sakra said, “watch Pensa.”
Amy looked at Pensa and was amazed when she saw her leap into the water and turn into a dolphin.
“Pensa is able to turn into any animal she wishes and has no original form,” Sakra explained.
Sakra climbed up into a tree and explained that she would travel by jumping from tree to tree.
Very smart, Amy thought. One creature travels by sky, one by water, one inside thick trees and bushes, and one by normal land. That way, there would be the least amount of chance of anything attacking them from anywhere, as long as somebody watches behind the whole group. And that somebody was Shimaki.
Amy didn’t drag behind too far, but she was behind everybody else except for Shimaki so that there was less chance of anyone seeing her tired.
After about ten minutes of walking, Joe started to walk a little slower until he ended up walking right beside Amy.
“You didn’t get much sleep last night,” he whispered. “You lied.” He wasn’t talking in a mean way. Actually, the way he was talking was kind of. . . sweat.
“Oh,” Amy said. “Um, I’m sorry. It’s not my fault. I had a lot on my mind.”
“I was able to sleep,” Joe said, “but I didn’t get very much. I was worried about everything, too. I was wondering what goes on at the three of your houses. Because of the way you guys responded and what Shimaki said to Tom I could tell that something is wrong at each of your homes. Don’t worry. It’s the same way for me.”
“I could tell. But that wasn’t the only thing on my mind,” Amy said. “I was wondering how I am going to do this whole thing. I was also worried about a nightmare I had in the half-hour-sleep I got last night. I was so. . . I don’t know. It was weird. I am nice, as I told you. But, in my dream, I was a monster that killed everyone that was in sight after the first time I actually hurt a follower of Takuta’s. It just. . . scared me.”
“You don’t think you’re going to attack everyone you see after that happens in real life, do you? I know you won’t. You are one of those people who won’t do that. You might change a little, though. You might be able to fight Takuta’s followers in a while, but I know that you will not go on a killing spree because of that.” Joe smiled at Amy reassuringly.
Amy blushed. Nobody had ever been this nice to her before. At least, not a human. Only Sakra had been this nice to her, but now she knew she had a friend of her own species. But she didn’t know why she was blushing. Maybe she was just surprised. Yeah, that had to be it.
“I got a few hours of sleep,” Joe said. “I didn’t think you got such less sleep. I mean, when I was awake, so were you, but I thought that you had to get some sleep while I was sleeping. Maybe you should tell them.”
“No,” Amy said. “I don’t want them worrying. Why do you think I’m back here? I won’t tell them, and I won’t let them find out. Either way, they will worry, and I don’t want them worrying anymore than they have to.”
“If you don’t tell them, they will worry even more than if you do. So what if we’ll be held back a few hours so you can get some sleep? We can handle that.”
“It would take a few days before I’d be able to fall asleep. That’s why.”
“Oh, well, if you tell them what’s going on, I’m sure they can understand. Everybody needs sleep.”
“I’m sorry. I won’t.”
“Okay. I won’t make you. But if something happens to you, I am going to tell them. How long has it been since you have slept at all?”
“That half hour last night added to the past week makes four hours within the past week.”
“You really need some sleep. If you don’t get enough sleep, something can happen to you. And whatever it is won’t exactly be good. Not to mention, you do look a little pale and feverish.”
Joe felt Amy’s forehead.
“Yep, you definitely have a fever. I am going to tell them.”
“No, please don’t. I promise I’ll be fine.”
Joe looked at her face and couldn’t help but listen to her. He just couldn’t go against her wishes. She was worried about them worrying about her, which kind of makes no sense, but he just felt like he had to listen to her.
“Fine, I won’t,” Joe said. “But just know that even if they aren’t worrying about you, I am.”
Amy looked up at Joe’s serious face. She couldn’t make him worry about her like that. He was serious, so she just couldn’t.
“Okay. I don’t want you worrying about me so much,” Amy said, “and by the look on your face, you are telling me that something bad might happen to me soon, so, you can”—
She was late in agreeing to Joe telling them. She had fainted.

She is even a vegetarian and doesn’t like things that pollute the environment. But, she wasn’t sure if she could hurt anything in order to keep a whole race from becoming extinct.
Sure, they hadn’t said anything about her hurting any creature. But she could tell that they would need to. She could tell that they would need to fight evil Takuta’s followers in order to stop them. How could she do that? She didn’t know what, how, or why, but something always stops her before she can do anything that involves harming anything else. Well, at least things that aren’t absolutely necessary.
She knows that if she does this, which she wants to and knows she must, it is absolutely necessary to hurt the followers of Takuta. But that she just couldn’t do.
What am I going to do now, Amy asked herself. It’s too late to turn back, so I need to go on. But I just can’t.
She lied down on her side so that nobody could see her face and started to cry.
I just can’t do this.
She went to sleep with a very heavy mind and only got about half an hour of sleep until she woke up from a dream.
In her dream, she was fighting a version of what her mind had thought might be one of Takuta’s followers. At first, she hesitated and wasn’t going to fight them at all. But, once she hit them, she couldn’t stop. It was almost like she went mad. She kept hitting them and hitting them until they died. And she went around killing everyone in sight. She couldn’t help it. She killed Kristie, Sakra, Tom (which she didn’t really mind because she didn’t particularly like his actions, but it still bothered her at least some), even Joe.
She was really happy she woke up from her dream, but she wasn’t able to get back to sleep afterwards. And there was at least six more hours before dawn. What was she supposed to do until then? If she couldn’t get back to sleep before dawn, she would be slowing everyone down and she wouldn’t be able to keep her eyes open.
So she tried very hard to get back to sleep, but she couldn’t. If only her stupid mind would stop thinking about that nightmare, she would actually be able to sleep. Her mind is always doing that. It is always makes nightmares for her she isn’t able to forget for about a day or two. Once, it created a nightmare she couldn’t forget for weeks.
Then, she found something else to think about. But that didn’t even let her fall asleep. It kept her awake for a long time, wondering. When Sakra had said about them knowing everything about the four humans, she wasn’t the only one that looked sad. She saw that Joe and Kristie did too. So that meant that they had something wrong at home, just like her.
And Tom obviously had something wrong at home too, because of what Shimaki had said after Tom said that there was nothing wrong at his home. There must be something wrong if Shimaki lectured him about not noticing things that are right in front of you directly to him.
So something is wrong either with each of them, or something that concerns or involves them. That would just make the four creatures worry even more.
It must be really hard having four partners who have something wrong at home while helping them with a mission like this, Amy thought. I wish I could help. . .
She was trying to think of two things: one was what might be wrong with everyone else, which she couldn’t think of any solutions. and the other was to find a way to help the creatures from worrying about the four of them. But she couldn’t think of any solutions to that, either.
She spent about one hour trying to figure out solutions and the rest of the time trying to go to sleep. After about six and a half hours of trying, Sakra nudged her.
“Come on, Amy,” Sakra said. “Time for us to go.”
Amy got up with her eyelids drooping down, trying to cover her eyes.
“Did you sleep well,” Sakra asked.
“Um, yeah,” Amy said. “I slept fine.”
Okay, so she only had half an hour to sleep. But she didn’t want to worry them even more. She just had to try to not be slow and keep her eyes open. That would work. That would keep them from worrying either way. She just hoped she’d be able to pull it off. If she wouldn’t, everyone would have to stop and wait for her to try to get to sleep and they wouldn’t be able to help anyone for a few days.
Amy stood up and waited for everyone else to wake up. It took about ten minutes. She would have never guessed it would take so long to wake a fourteen-year-old up. She stopped herself after that thought so she wouldn’t go on to tease Tom. He didn’t seem to be a very nice kid or a kid anyone would get along with, but maybe he would change over time.
“Okay, everybody,” Pensa said. “Let’s go. Konso, please travel by the sky.”
Konso nodded and flew up into the sky.
“Amy,” Sakra said, “watch Pensa.”
Amy looked at Pensa and was amazed when she saw her leap into the water and turn into a dolphin.
“Pensa is able to turn into any animal she wishes and has no original form,” Sakra explained.
Sakra climbed up into a tree and explained that she would travel by jumping from tree to tree.
Very smart, Amy thought. One creature travels by sky, one by water, one inside thick trees and bushes, and one by normal land. That way, there would be the least amount of chance of anything attacking them from anywhere, as long as somebody watches behind the whole group. And that somebody was Shimaki.
Amy didn’t drag behind too far, but she was behind everybody else except for Shimaki so that there was less chance of anyone seeing her tired.
After about ten minutes of walking, Joe started to walk a little slower until he ended up walking right beside Amy.
“You didn’t get much sleep last night,” he whispered. “You lied.” He wasn’t talking in a mean way. Actually, the way he was talking was kind of. . . sweat.
“Oh,” Amy said. “Um, I’m sorry. It’s not my fault. I had a lot on my mind.”
“I was able to sleep,” Joe said, “but I didn’t get very much. I was worried about everything, too. I was wondering what goes on at the three of your houses. Because of the way you guys responded and what Shimaki said to Tom I could tell that something is wrong at each of your homes. Don’t worry. It’s the same way for me.”
“I could tell. But that wasn’t the only thing on my mind,” Amy said. “I was wondering how I am going to do this whole thing. I was also worried about a nightmare I had in the half-hour-sleep I got last night. I was so. . . I don’t know. It was weird. I am nice, as I told you. But, in my dream, I was a monster that killed everyone that was in sight after the first time I actually hurt a follower of Takuta’s. It just. . . scared me.”
“You don’t think you’re going to attack everyone you see after that happens in real life, do you? I know you won’t. You are one of those people who won’t do that. You might change a little, though. You might be able to fight Takuta’s followers in a while, but I know that you will not go on a killing spree because of that.” Joe smiled at Amy reassuringly.
Amy blushed. Nobody had ever been this nice to her before. At least, not a human. Only Sakra had been this nice to her, but now she knew she had a friend of her own species. But she didn’t know why she was blushing. Maybe she was just surprised. Yeah, that had to be it.
“I got a few hours of sleep,” Joe said. “I didn’t think you got such less sleep. I mean, when I was awake, so were you, but I thought that you had to get some sleep while I was sleeping. Maybe you should tell them.”
“No,” Amy said. “I don’t want them worrying. Why do you think I’m back here? I won’t tell them, and I won’t let them find out. Either way, they will worry, and I don’t want them worrying anymore than they have to.”
“If you don’t tell them, they will worry even more than if you do. So what if we’ll be held back a few hours so you can get some sleep? We can handle that.”
“It would take a few days before I’d be able to fall asleep. That’s why.”
“Oh, well, if you tell them what’s going on, I’m sure they can understand. Everybody needs sleep.”
“I’m sorry. I won’t.”
“Okay. I won’t make you. But if something happens to you, I am going to tell them. How long has it been since you have slept at all?”
“That half hour last night added to the past week makes four hours within the past week.”
“You really need some sleep. If you don’t get enough sleep, something can happen to you. And whatever it is won’t exactly be good. Not to mention, you do look a little pale and feverish.”
Joe felt Amy’s forehead.
“Yep, you definitely have a fever. I am going to tell them.”
“No, please don’t. I promise I’ll be fine.”
Joe looked at her face and couldn’t help but listen to her. He just couldn’t go against her wishes. She was worried about them worrying about her, which kind of makes no sense, but he just felt like he had to listen to her.
“Fine, I won’t,” Joe said. “But just know that even if they aren’t worrying about you, I am.”
Amy looked up at Joe’s serious face. She couldn’t make him worry about her like that. He was serious, so she just couldn’t.
“Okay. I don’t want you worrying about me so much,” Amy said, “and by the look on your face, you are telling me that something bad might happen to me soon, so, you can”—
She was late in agreeing to Joe telling them. She had fainted.
