章節 4: Chapter 4 attacked
As the days passed, the news continued to report on the recent string of attacks happening around the town. Each time Rowan saw a story of another attack happening, worry grew in his stomach. One evening, as he was walking home from the library, the sun had already set as he got caught up reading a book. This was his first night out after the accident. The moon was shining high in the sky, casting a silver glow upon the earth. As Rowan made his way down the street, the wind picked up a chilling breeze, causing him to shiver and zip his jacket up more.
The sound of his footsteps echoing through the empty streets as he walks through the town. He looks around, seeing the streets empty, making him realize how late it really was. "I better get home soon," he muttered quietly. As he got closer to the bus stop, he noticed a shadow that seemed to be following him. Rowan knew he was just seeing things; how could a shadow move by itself.
When he arrived at the bus stop, the shadow seemed to be getting bigger, like a living, breathing creature moving along with him. He stops in front of the bench. The shadow stops as well, his heart pounding in his ears. He turns around, expecting to see nothing. He was wrong; he wishes he was wrong. His eyes grow wide, his breath catches in his throat, and his heart beats loudly as he stares at the person who has been stalking him. Standing before him was a man clad in black, his very presence exuding a menacing aura. His piercing cold gaze seemed to penetrate right into the depths of Rowan's soul, his lips twisted into a cruel smirk.
"Ah, my little ingredient is coming along nicely," he mused, his voice a dark purr that sent chills down the boy's spine. With a terrified whimper, Rowan backed away, his steps faltering as he stumbled over his own feet. "No," he stammered, his voice trembling with fear. "Stay away from me!" He yelled, pushing himself up to his feet and getting ready to run. Before he could move, the man disappeared into a blur, moving towards him before appearing behind him. "Don't even try to run my ingredient," his voice husky with obsession. Zarek's hands clenched around Rowan's collar, lifting him up into the air, his legs kicking, trying to fight free. "AHHHHHH," he cries out in distress at being grabbed.
Zarek pulls his arm back, dropping the boy on the ground. "You're not ready yet for harvesting," he observes, crouching down next to the boy's prone body. He lifts a hand and places it on Rowan's chest, his cold flesh sending shivers throughout his entire body. Zarek lets out a sinister laugh as he senses Rowan's heart racing within his chest. "Such a shame," he murmured, his voice tinged with disappointment. "Another week," he paused as a voice sounded out from the darkness "Leave the boy alone." Startling both of them as Zarek's hand snapped away from the teenager's chest.
Standing a few feet away was the dark figure from the hospital, wearing a black hoodie and matching jeans, her long black hair spilling over her shoulders. "Don't interfere, Hunter," Zarek hisses at the woman with venom in his voice. "I won't let you touch this boy," she replies in a defensive tone, stepping closer to the two of them. "Try to stop me," Zark says, coldly waving his hand at the women.
Sending her fly through the air towards a wall mid-air her form started shifting, changing into that of a panther with bright green eyes and silky smooth black fur. She lands gracefully on her feet, a deep growl sounding from her chest. She pounces forward, claws extending towards Zarek's face. With a powerful force, the panther slammed into the warlock, knocking him to the ground. Her claws racking against his face, drawing blood. "You whore," he cried out with outrage. His hands instinctively shot out, sending a black wave at her, knocking her back, and sending her rolling on to her side. "I hate cats," Zarek snarled, rising to his feet, his body swaying unsteadily.
His face was dripping with blood; it was like tar seeping down his skin and onto his clothes. The cat rose to her feet, shaking her head a few times before turning towards him with glowing green eyes and fangs bared. "You win this time, hunter," Zarek growled, holding a hand to his scars that were oozing the inky dark liquid. "Next time, you won't be so lucky," he vanished in a cloud of black smoke, leaving the two of them alone.
Selena transformed back to her human form, her black hair in disarray and her emerald eyes reflecting the light of the street lamps. "Are you alright, Rowan?" Rowans eyes were big looking at her, stunned. "Yeah," he stutters. "T..thank you," he continues, "but your clothes," he mutters, staring at her.
Her tanned skin, shining with sweat in the street lamps, her big breasts heaving from the short exchange with Zarek, her nipples hard in the cold night air, her areolas slightly darker than the rest of her skin. her thin stomach packed with muscle, showing her abs as his eyes drift further down past her v-shaped line, leading to a small, groomed patch of hair. "Fucking pervert, look away," she says, covering herself with her hands as Rowan blushes before looking away. "Fuck, I forgot I was wearing normal clothes," she cursed under her breath, looking down at the remains of her favorite black hoodie. "This was my favorite," she groaned. With a sigh.
"He...Here," Rowan said, taking off his own hoodie and handing it to her. "Take mine; I don't need it," he told her, his eyes not making eye contact with her as his cheeks turned a deeper red. "What a gentleman," she said jokingly, taking the offered jacket as she put it on her head, popping through the hole.
Her curvy figure was hugged by his jacket, making it look tighter on her than it does on him; it reaches just below her buttocks, exposing her toned thighs. "So was that the dark warlock?" Rowan said, remembering the night from the hospital. "Yep, sure was," Selena responded, nodding her head. "His name is Zarek ," she tells him, turning towards him, her eyes narrowing in the process. "He is obsessed with the idea of a dark ritual that gives him immortality," she explained.
"Follow me, we are going to my house," she said, reaching her hand out to Rowan, who took it carefully with a shy smile as she lifted him off the ground . They walked side by side for a while in silence, enjoying each other's company, before Selena shrived from the cold air. "Fuck this, she said before pulling off the hoodie and reveling in her naked body once again.
Rowan gulps before she pulls him against her chest as her form starts to shift. He blinks, and instead of the beautiful woman, he is holding on to the form of the massive panther from before. With a startled yelp, she takes off with him on her back, clutching her neck tightly. The wind blows on his face as he holds on to her fluffy fur as the buildings and street lights whiz by. Selena leaps over fences, cars, and anything in her way as they run faster than any car he has ever been in.
After a few moments, Rowan starts to notice houses and apartments appear. As they go by, they begin to slow down, coming to a stop in front of a brick apartment building. The panther takes Rowan around the back of the building, shifting back in to a woman once more, grabbing his hoodie back out of his hand, putting it on,. "We are here," she said simply, "come on, Rowan." She gestured as he nodded in response as she led him into the apartment building. "Damn girl, getting them young now, aren't you?" the security guard says, looking up from the counter as Selena leads Rawan inside with his hand. Selena's eyes narrow, making her glare intimidating as she snarls at the older man as he quickly picks up a magazine, flipping through it without making eye contact "Damn hunters" he mummers under the magazine.
Selena rolls her eyes as they continue on towards the elevator. Rowan felt Selena's hand loosen on his as she relaxed and pressed the button to go up as the doors slid open and they entered the small space. "What is up with her?" he asks himself internally, if only he knew she was asking herself the same question. Why were her instincts yelling at her to keep him close? To protect him.
