The Shadowed World

Part From Last Chap:It angered me to know Evan lied to me when we first meet.





Theron, come to me but try not to wake Evan, I call to Theron with my mind.





My room is at the far end of the house with Theron and Evan’s rooms at the front of the house opposite each other. Theron opens my door and softly closes it, I tell Theron about the dream with my mind so I don’t wake Evan. When I finished telling him about it, leaving out the part that he was in it. Theron tells me with his mind that it in my subconscious trying to tell me something about the choice I have to make but he tells me the choice has to be my own and not to be pressured into making the wrong choice. Theron sits beside me on the bed in a pair of black boxers with white paw prints, I tell him it’s cold and to hop under the covers. Theron moves to sit behind me, holding me around the waist and I’m just holding his hands, leaning on his strong lean chest. I close my eyes, starting to doze back to sleep with Theron’s warm body behind me, an image of Theron and I making love comes to mind and I blush. I lay down on my side so that when Theron lies down beside me on his back, I can lay with my head on his shoulder and my hand over his heart. During the early morning I hear a door get slammed in fury. I thought about getting up but I didn’t want to move away from Theron, any way it is cold outside and I don’t have to go out until tonight.





“Zillah?” Theron calls to me moving my hair then kissing my neck, it sent a jolt of pleasure through me. I open my eyes to see it’s dark outside.





“What, leave me alone?” I say wishing to stay asleep with Theron.





“I would love to but you have to see Hunter. I would like to stay in bed with you as well but we have to go.” Theron tells me, when I look up at him he kisses me on the lips, it leaves me breathless and fully awake with desire.





I hop up, get dressed and head over to my old club where Hunter lives called “Wild Storm”. It is the club where I had my show down with Damon King two years ago now. Along the way Theron tells me more about himself, his whole family were killed right after he was born, shadow world people found him and raised him after washing his kin’s blood from him. Theron is a shape shifter from a pure and strong line but has yet to come to full power. Theron tells me he is waiting until I make my choice because he wants me to be his first and only lover. I tell him we will have to wait until I make my choice, he asks me if I will need him to sleep beside me again and he smiles as he says this happily. I blush and say maybe, walking a little faster. I knock on the door and Hunter lets us in, I ask if Evan is here.



“No, Evan is not here. I hate him you know but I don’t mind Theron here.” Hunter replies with truthfulness.





“Aurora, I think Evan found us in bed this morning and that’s why he slammed the door.” Theron reveals.





“Oh, shit. He must be really pissed, he must think you and I had sex, shit I better call him.” I tell Theron.





“I don’t think that is a good idea.” Hunter says slowly.





Evan, I call out with my mind to him





WHAT!?, Evan yells with his mind in fury.





Evan calm down please Theron and I, I start to tell him with my mind but he cuts me off.





You slept with him, you fucked him you slut!, Evan yells with his mind.





I didn’t fuckin sleep with him I needed to tell him something then we fell asleep. I didn’t fuck him because I’ve made no choice yet in whom I pick, I tell Evan, fury coming into my voice.





Oh, oh I’m so sorry I just lost it, forgive me please?, Evan pleads with me softly.





Fine, whatever, I tell him tired and annoyed that he doesn’t trust me when I shouldn’t trust him.





Where are you?, Evan asks calmly.





Wild Storm, talking to Hunter and Theron is with me since you weren’t there this morning, oh I mean tonight, I tell Evan pulling my mind and thoughts away from him with relief.





“You ok, Aurora?” Hunter asks with concern.





“Fine” I reply softly





Are you sure Zillah?, Theron asks with his mind concern in his thoughts.





No, Evan was really pissed and it’s like he doesn’t trust me when I’m the one who shouldn’t be trusting him because he lied to me, I tell Theron with my mind tired.





You’ll be fine and Evan will get over it, Theron tells me to relax me.





I hope so for everyone’s sake, I whisper with my mind to Theron as well as myself.





“Hunter, how has the training gone so far with the new hunters?” I ask Hunter.





“Most are going well but some aren’t, I was thinking maybe you could help them” Hunter reports.





“I’ll do what I can, which ones need my help?” I say resting a hand under my chin.





“Rhiamon the witch, Theora the shape shifter, Zac, Quinn, Theo the vampire’s and Ardolph a werewolf. Also the humans Jasmine and Ash.” Hunter states.





“That’s a lot, we must have lots of hunters to have this many that need my personal help,” I say shocked.





I walk over to the group, telling them who I’m and asking who they are and what there past is. I put them through short battle training lessons to see what skills they have and then I get them to work on them. Rhiamon can work spells from a great distance for one so young, Theora is a watcher and thinker, Zac is lazy until put in a fight, Quinn likes to make trouble so he can make distractions if need be. Theo has a gift in moving swift, coming and going without being seen. Ardolph is a wanderer, he can do work where he has to travel great distances over a long time. Jasmine and Ash have a desire to get justice and will kill and die for it. After training them all for about six hours, I send them to bed and tell Hunter what I think of them and also how to work with them. I’m tired but wish to hunt, Theron comes with me to a forest not far from the city. When we find a clearing we change into tiger’s then run off in search of deer. I smell a deer scent then run my powerful muscles ripple as I run down a deer that has smelt my scent. I grab it’s neck bitting to kill as Theron bites and claws wherever he can but he lets me have the pleasure of killing it. The deer falls, gives a final kick then dies and we feast till we eat our fill. Once we are done we lay down to rest with full bellies. When we wake it is morning and we are back in our human forms, once again I wake up next to Theron and I feel at peace but have no wish to leave here. When I leave I will have to think about the choice I have to make between Theron and Evan, I know Evan better then Theron I think so anyway. The only thing is Evan never puts me at peace because I’m always alert around him.





Zillah where are you? You didn’t come home last night, I hear Evan’s voice in my mind. I reply without thinking about what Evan’s reaction will be because I’m tired.





I’m in the forest with Theron taking a nap after feeding. I’ll still be a while because I’m still tired and it’s comfortable here, I tell Evan closing my eyes again and my reply is greeted by total silence.





Aur…, I hear Hunter’s voice in my mind ten minutes later but he cut off, he sounded like he was scared.





Hunter, Hunter answer me?, I plead.





“Theron something’s wrong and Hunter won’t answer me.” I cry to Theron shaking him awake.





“Alright I’m coming, I’m up.” Theron replies still tired.





We race to the Wild Storm club to find it empty, the door ripped off it’s hinges, some blood is on the wall, I smell the blood and blink it’s Hunter’s. I run trying to find him, I find a child who will some day be a hunter, he is no more then seven and he is homeless, he sits outside a door crying.





“What happened here?” I cry out in shock, I the boy lifts his head, his wooden sword has blood on it but someone has broken it.
