Cain told her, changing the subject completely.
Aunt Mill looked at Cain, with wide eyes, “Will he hurt her?” she asked.
“No.” He answered, “Thank God. But, he will be a nuisance, I’m sure, and try to keep us away from each other. Oh, and he might try to kill me,” he smiled at her, “But, he’s not after her, he’s here to protect her.”
“From you?” Aunt Mill asked him.
He knew what she was getting at, “I can’t just walk away from her, and leave her alone.”
“I know, Cain,” everything was beginning to become clear to the old woman, “If you leave her, it will crush her, it will kill her spirit. You have to stay and see this thing through. She needs you,” she said and paused, “You need her.”
Cain looked up at her. He knew she spoke only words of wisdom, and knowledge, and that deep inside, she knew something that he did not.
I need her. After hundreds of years, Cain never thought he would need anyone, he liked the sound of needing Shayna.
“You need each other.” Aunt Mill said.
Cain noticed her look out the window in a peculiar way. He got up and stood behind the old woman, and looked out himself. The sun was setting, but the two of them could see the dark silhouette of a large bird perched on the roof of the barn.
A growl erupted from deep inside Cain’s throat, and Aunt Mill gasped. Cain turned and ran out the back door. Aunt Mill saw him running through the snow covered yard towards the barn, and the hawk flew down towards him. Then she saw the Panther. She couldn’t believe it. She had heard of this creature, but had never seen it herself. It was incredible. He was all black, with white around his neck, that looked like a collar, and white paws. He looked like he wore a tuxedo.
The panther leapt at the hawk, and caught a mouthful of tail feathers, and ripped them out. The unusually large bird let out a defining screech, and clawed at the panthers face, then took off over the barn, and out of sight.
Aunt Mill stared from the window in fascination. She could not peel her eyes away from the grizzly bear sized panther standing in her yard. They both knew that the hawk was no match for him. The panther turned and looked at her. In the fading daylight, she saw bright emerald green eyes, ringed in red. She nodded her head in acceptance, and the panther roared. The sound rumbled in her chest, she smiled. She had never witnessed anything like this in her life, and she had witnessed a lot.
Shayna opened her eyes, thinking she had heard thunder. She thought she was still dreaming for a second. She looked around the room, she was still on the couch. What weird weather. She thought. She tried to remember back to the dream she was having. The meadow had become a battlefield. She sat upon Obsidion’s back beside the newly downed tree, and watched the hawk she had seen, and an enormous panther, fight over a blood red rose. They looked as though they would fight to the death, when the hawk suddenly flew away taking the rose with it. It had definitely been one of the weirdest dreams she had ever had.
She sat up on the couch, Was that thunder? It was part of the dream, I bet.She thought. She looked outside, it was snowing again. A couple of kids had built a snowman across the street, that she could see under the streetlight. She thought of the long life that was ahead of her, and of drinking blood. She knew that once she changed,the small amounts her mother gave her, would never be enough, and she would have to drink more.
“How am I going to do this?” she asked herself. She was scared. In a couple weeks, she would be thrown into a world that most people didn’t know existed, or even believed existed.
Her phone rang upstairs. She jumped up, and ran upstairs to get it, but was too late, she had missed the call. It was Noah. She put the
