Chapter 25: 7. Jaclyn Eisner
Hunter started to tell the Story of Ruby. And how the tiger becomes so arrogant. The weapons that the tiger holds are too powerful making the tiger race the fearless in the whole continent. Sheri was listening while closing her eyes and enjoys the sun.
"Thus, in essence, you want me to help you to take down the tiger race," Sheri asked.
Deep down she knows the hollow of the female lead is strong and can't be taken down. "Hmm" acknowledge Hunter.
"Sorry can't do," Sheri said honestly. Sheri knows the world she's in is for the female lead and the male lead alone. No matter how strong she is she cannot just go against the story or the events of the world they are in. It's frustrating because Sheri knows that the knowledge she is more broad than the female lead. The female lead and the male lead are the king and queen of the world they are in. They will shape the story of the story and they can also end it if they want.
Meanwhile, Hunter is silent.
Sheri sighs just thinking the only thing she can do is to help the leopard race but even that would it really help. Those questions arises at Sheri's mind. Nevertheless she wanted to try and see how it goes. She decided to help them.
Sheri looked at Hunter who is silent. She sighs and close her eyes.
"But I can assist you to restrain them from harassing your race." Sheri said.
Hunter didn't say anything merely sit there and listened to her.
"Alright deal. Today I will remain here and protect you as my promise and tomorrow we go to my race." Hunter said.
"Hmm," Sheri agreed.
The whole day Sheri did what she usually did. Either taking a nap, sunbathing, fishing, eating. She didn't neglect to give food to her guest. Morning came. They set off toward his race. Since Sheri was slower than Hunter. Hunter offered her to carry her to make their journey faster. Sheri didn't hesitate. She mounts Hunter's back and after half an hour they arrived in front of a village.
Everybody glanced at her, Sheri also looked at them. She was surprised to see a village that full of Hunter's race. Hunter bring her to a big house. Hunter transforms and walke Sheri in teh direction of the door of teh big house.
They went inside a room. A group of 20 grown men was there.
Sheri looked at the men on the village. She was impressed and intimidated on how big they are. Sheri is tall but they are taller.
In the world of Jacklyn Eisner they have a mutated DNA. Their DNA are different from that of ordinary people making them stronger, faster and taller. The human beasts in front of her are different from a norma DNA mutated.
She is looking when a man was suddenly looked at her and wanted to attack her.
A fierce growl sounded toward her. Sheri instantly grasps the loaded gun on her right side. But Hunter hiss at the man who growls.
"That thing is the one who injured me," Klans said.
"We'll talk it later," Hunter said.
Sheri remembers correctly that face.
"He's the one the owner of the body injured. Damn, he's bulky!" Sheri thought to her self.
At heart, Sheri heartily admired the owner's body skill." She's quite skillful to wound a man taller and bigger than her". Sheri admiringly thought toward the owner's body. Everyone in the room looked keenly at the woman next to their leader. She's wearing her soldier uniform and her smell is unique they can't pinpoint if she's a man or a woman.
Hunter sits in the middle of the table. While Sheri stands in one corner scrupulously observing those robust men chat in their own language. Hunter explained to them his grand plan. Heated arguments naturally arise. Some agreed to Hunter's plan and some are not. A powerful growl was heard when all begun arguing. Everyone was silent. He looked at Sheri who is standing in one corner and enable her to explain her plan. He, then again, is the one who translates.
"From my knowledge, you said the tiger had powerful weapons? I want to know what are those weapons," Sheri said.
Hunter talked to his group, and they mentioned arrows that ignite fires.
"If they use an arrow that ignites fires, it's indeed bothersome. I can teach you how to generate one and also, I can enhance your skills". Sheri offered.
The female lead has an aura that can't be destroyed, but Sheri has knowledge in combat and good at planning an ambushed. She's a soldier who is one of the best.
She designed her plan before them. They were at first skeptical toward her but when they heard her they were silent. She also offers them a strategy on how to injure their opponents. Tigers were indeed fierce but the leopards have skills that Sheri can enhance. She recollects how the owners of the body and Klans fight. From there she formulated what was their weak points that still can be upgraded.
Hunter explained to them everything and they all agree afterward. When the meeting concluded a man with a red/orange ear walked toward her.
He spoke, but Sheri didn't understand anything so Hunter explains.
"Thank you, he said for saving his mate and children," Hunter said.
"Oh, he is your sister's mate, no biggie" Sheri said.
While Hunter is talking to the other men. Sheri is pondering. "Why is that only Hunter can understand me? I thought they had telepathy or something. Hmm." Sheri wondered. She said to her self to asked Hunter later.
Hunter leads Sheri toward his home. She looked inside and was a bit surprised to see a cleaned house.
He went to the kitchen and boiled some water and prepared some food for them. When he arrived at their dining table a bowl of soup came was prepared for Sheri. Sheri was silent and eats. It was bland and has no taste at all. She tried hiding the reaction of her face, but it didn't work, her sour face says it all. Hunter saw it.
Hunter noted that next time he will. Include some vegetables on it to have a taste.
Sheri remembers her questions while ago.
"Hunter, I'm wondering why is that you're the only one who can understand me, "Sheri asked.
Hunter shrugged and continue eating.
3 months she remained in the house of Hunter. Naturally, Sheri wanted to go back to her cave or have a new house but Hunter didn't allow her for the reason it's much safer if she's with him. Sheri rolled her eyes.
"Fine" Sheri gave up and went to her room.
Hunter smiles while looking at her back.
For her, she has no choice.
Hunter admiration toward Sheri shoots toward the roof when she was advising his men. She's like the fiercest among them. The time he hands over his men toward Sheri many of them are hesitating to obey. Sheri asked for a duel. Many doesn't want to go forward until Klans volunteer. He wanted to make her pay. He has a big ego. A big leopard like him was injured by a woman and it's not only a woman its a human woman. Everyone knows that women are weaker than them no matter what the race of it. Hunter wanted to oppose but Sheri on the opposite was calm and agree. Sheri and Klans face off. The men of hunter surround them. Hunter was a bit worried, but he can see the calmness in the eyes of Sheri. Sheri was nervous, but she has a full confidence of the knowledge and the body she has. Since arrival, she never stops training her self. She double her endurance. before they fight Sheir asked of no transformation.
"No transformation during this fight it will be not fair toward a person like me." Sheri said
"hmp! Ok"Klans said.
Sheri allowed Klans to attack her. She can see the eagerness in his eyes. The whole time she was dodging him.
"Are you going to keep on running away."Klans said.
Sheri didn't say anything because she doesn't understand him. She continues to keep on dodging until Klans was irritated, and he keeps on attacking her. Sheri was looking for an opportunity and she found one. She immediately punches him on his chin. Klans was taken a back. Without delay Sheri took advantage of him being dazed and punch him again on his vital points. It was fast and accurate. Klans was so angry, and he was supposed to full attacked her but hunter stop the fight.
If Klans continue to attacked Sheri. Sheri would have lost no matter how good she is. Sheri knew her limitation. Anyway the most important is she already showed toward the men of Hunter that there are ways to fight back the tiger race.
Hunter pulled Klans away and order his men to listen to Sheri.
Sheri was standing at the middle with the men looking at her very complicated. Who would have thought like her can hit how many times their second in command. Nevertheless, they obey Hunter and listen to her. Hunter came back and explain to his men what Sheri was saying.
After how many days. She let his men submitted toward her in no time. Her training is also hellish. Making everyone goes home tired and injured.
For an odd reason, he felt joy when she started to ordering him. He felt like he become a useless leader when Sheri takes over the whole group. Nevertheless, his admiration toward her grew every day. When they had a break of their training. Hunter went hunting, on the way he obtained the one his looking for. It's one of the most nutritious vegetables that aid women in their race to feel good. That's according to Delo when he asked about woman stuff. He gathers as much as many.
When he comes home, he makes another soup. Sheri usually cooked because she can't tolerate the cooking of Hunter. But this particular day is unusual.
When Sheri arrived from outside. Hunter was waiting for her in their dining table. He prepares the soup and Sheri frown again. Since she's a guest, she drinks it without a complaint. After a while, Sheri felt so
warm.
"Damn, why it's so hot," Sheri said.
"It's impossible, it's almost winter," Hunter said.
Sheri starts removing her jacket and shirt leaving only her sleeveless shirt. Making Hunter stop all his movement.
"Wear them back. It's cold," Hunter worriedly said.
Sheri was extremely uncomfortable she's looking for something.
"Help," Sheri said stuttered toward Hunter.
Hunter looked at her and press his palm in her head. She is indeed hot. When Sheri felt the coldness of the hand of Hunter, she grabbed it. She keeps on holding it and placing it everywhere in her face. She felt like it was a cold pack of ice. Her mind is clouded. For her everything was felt something is crawling to her.
