Chapter 23: 5. Jaclyn Eisner
After two weeks. Hunter visits Delo.
"How is your mate?" Hunter ask.
Delo smile." She is good. Her injury is also healing fast, elder Bran was surprised to see that Aurora healed fast." Delo said.
"Is she awake?" Asked Hunter
"Yes leader, you can come in." Delo leads Hunter inside their house.
Delo picked the two cubs and went out and starts playing with them.
Hunter came inside the room and saw Aurora in the bed leaning on the headboard.
"Leader" she wants to stand and do the greetings but Hunter signaled her not to stand up.
He sits on the empty chair next to the bed. He asked what happened that day. Aurora tells everything while telling the story she almost felt emotional. The heaven has blessed her that day she encounters a good stranger and that stranger helped her and her cubs.
"Leader, I think that the person who helped me is a good person. I cannot recognize those things or instrument that he or she used to me. Even though I was in pain my senses are still on high alert due to the enemy. When I open a little bit of my eyes to see my cub I saw her things lying on the ground they were all strange things. ". Aurora said.
Hunter nodded his head. If that person is not good she would have already killed Aura or left her and also the injury of Aurora is indeed heavy, but her recovery is fast. In spite that she painfully delivered two cubs, she's now much better.
For the leopard race offsprings are very important for their race. For how many years this was the first time a cub was born. This is precious for their race.
Hunter still remembers that it was two weeks ago, due to a lack of food. Hunter and the men went hunting and the female left. It was already a month when they left. Since Aurora is hungry she went out and hunt and the accident happened.
After the conversation Hunter went to gather his men once again.
His very angry the moment she said about the tiger that almost killed her. His anger toward the tiger race went to the roof.
The tiger race is becoming so arrogant that the same day, he went to the wolves race and the other races to combine each force to attack the tiger race, but they reject his offer due to the powerful weapon of the tiger. They were all afraid.
While coming back from the other tribe. Hunter's veins were bulging in her hands while thinking about it. He wants to have war but how. He felt useless as a leader for his race.
One day he asked his men during one of the gatherings.
"Has anyone found out where that person lives?" Hunter asked.
"We were tracking the blood scent and later it was gone," one of his men said.
Hunter was looking at the blanket that Sheri used to wrap the cubs. If he can find him or her. It might help the leopard race. The method she or he did in healing Aurora has never seen before having her/him will benefit their race. Those are the thoughts of Hunter.
"Scar, take charge of today I will track that person," Hunter said.
Hunter is the leader and the strongest among his tribe. He did not become a leader because he inherited the title instead it was due to his ability. His greatest ability is to be able to track anyone and also his combat is one of the best.
The next day.
Hunter transforms and went toward the area where Aurora had an accident. He sniffed a tiny scent of blood and follows it. He stopped and looked at his surroundings, indeed the blood scent stops where the part of the forest is dense. He transforms into a human and slowly goes deep into the woods. After walking and searching for how long, he is almost ready to give up and looked in different areas. He cannot even smell any particular odor or scent. While walking, he came across a small piece of fruit. He looked at it and smell. It emits a strong mint smell. He followed the mint scent and arrive in front of a cave. He frowns when he sees a cave in his territory. They never knew about this. He slowly walked inside. He never expected the cave was large and an odd smell is coming inside the cave itself. Hunter went deeper into the cave and smells a different kind of smell. He follows it, and what he saw surprised him.
A beautiful woman who is naked is swimming in the pool. She is beautiful. This was the first time to see a different person who is hairless and short hair. He observed her in the distance when she came out of the pool he started to approach her.
Sheri didn't see an intruder approaching her. The instant she went up from the pool she heard a movement she speedily went on alert.
She quickly runs toward her clothes and supposed to grasp the knives, that she always carries, but Hunter saw it and transforms immediately into a leopard and caught her. He was on top of her holding her hands with his paw. The leopard growl and Sheri were so scared. Then Hunter transforms into a human lying on top of her.
"Get off me. You beast," Sheri furiously shouted at him. She is naked and felt so uncomfortable, and their position is ambiguous. Hunter didn't move.
"What is your name?" Hunter asked while looking at Sheri.
"I don't understand what you're saying, get off me," Sheri answered back. His language is not familiar with Sheri. She tries to wiggle but his so heavy. Her arms and legs were secured by him.
After observing the woman beneath her, he let her go. Sheri slowly gets up and went to get her towel on the side and cover herself. He on the other side looked at her.
Sheri was thinking to get the knife closed to her clothes. But Hunter saw it.
"Woman don't think about it." hiss Hunter
Sheri just stands still. She doesn't understand him, but she gets what he meant. She slowly points her clothes and makes a movement to wear them. Hunter understands what she wants. He looked at her and slowly went to her side and seizes the knife.
Sheri slips her shirt and pants in one go didn't care if she doesn't wear any undergarments. She looked at the man who is observing her.
He is tall, handsome, he has a silver-white hair and his tail is spotted with black. His ears were pointy. He dresses only with the skin of an animal. Exposing his muscles in his arms and legs.
While Sheri is observing him, she resembles someone she knows. She was thinking and it suddenly remembers. He looked like Devon from her old world. Just thinking about that person makes her puke. Now someone looked like him. Sheri is getting frustrated with what's happening in her mission.
She will soon ask the system if she's done with her current mission. Meanwhile, the Hunter also observed her. She is a beauty. Her hair is short and her eyes were brown. She is tall a little smaller than him, and she doesn't have any tail, and she has a small ear.
After a long silence, the stomach of Sheri breaks the sound.
"Hey leopard, can I go and cook? I'm hungry? All her words she makes a sign.
Hunter, on the other hand, raises his eyebrow. Just observing her. Sheri rolled her eyes and walked toward her tent. Hunter followed her. She starts bringing out the vegetables she prepared beforehand and the meat and the fish she wants to barbecue. She doesn't care anymore if the leopard will attack her or not. She is hungry and went and starts preparing the fire. Hunter keeps a distance toward her and still observing her.
