Avenging her, hima [e ink epub reader TXT] 📗

her in my arms and whispering her that everything is going to be good but that would spoil everything. So I slept close to her watching her all the night.


<Summer's POV>

The first thing I have to do is apologize to Dan about everything and try to be nice to him.

"I'm sorry."

"It's my fault. I should go easy on you considering how you are these days." he said smiling.

"Thanks," I said and kissed him on the cheeks.

I knew he would come. There is an involuntary smile when I saw him crossing my home today. I called after him a few times before he heard me.

"I'm sorry." I said.

He nodded and started to walk away.

"Please..... Don’t go." I insisted.

He nodded and waited for me to speak. I didn't know how or what to say.

"Coffee.." I asked tentatively.

I turned to my door. He caught me that one touch sent chills all over my body. It's same as I imagined in the dream.

"Not at your place." he said.

We went to nearby coffee shop and he seems to be nervous and constantly watching over his shoulders. May be he is still upset over that day.

"I'm really sorry about that day." I said.

"I shouldn't have screamed at you when it's not your fault. Well, not completely." I said shying away.

He opened his mouth to say something when his face went rigid and he was concentrating hard on something.

"I must leave." He said and left me not without a word.


<Shadow's POV>

I was so immersed in taking in the beauty of Summer and her words that at first I didn't hear Matt's calling for help. When I stood up and said that I have to go. Her face registered shock and hurt. I couldn't see it; she's hurt because of me still Matt's seems to be in dire need of my help. As soon as I'm out of people sight, I ran at vamp speed in the direction of Matt's voice.

It's not happening again, I thought as I saw Matt trying to save Cathy from the vampire hunter; he looked around 20's, strong muscular build, his eyes are fierce in the battle. If it's not for Matt he would kill our entire coven. The only thing that he did wrong is to not to notice me. While fighting with vampires we need to watch our back may be he is half-trained hunter.

I watched him from the tree to find his Achilles heel. All the hunters are invincible but once we know their weak point it's easy to win over them. The wicked grin replaced my lips as I found that one place.

As I launched on him from the top branch Matt stared at me in surprise. I'm sure that he spoiled the surprise for my hunt. It's late though I'm already on top of him. I used all my strength to launch a blow at the right side of his neck but I made sure it's not a killer blow. He grunted before collapsing onto the floor.

Matt charged him with a knife but I stopped him. He frowned to know what I was thinking.

"Take him to our place." I ordered.

I need to think how I should convince them his use. A while later I returned to the coven which is a cave in the woods of the forest. Cave more like a normal house. We built it here since I lost my family. We have three rooms with rock furnishes and a gathering room where we discuss and strengthen our combat skills. It's in the place where all the people are gathered, I could see their vicious looks at the thing lying down on the ground. One nod at them will tear that person into shreds.

"Why did you bring him here?" Max snarled visibly.

I raised my voice to calm them down.

"He is here for our own good."

"What good comes from saving his life when he once didn't think for taking my family lives?" Jasper snarled.

"Judy, Can you explain them?" I asked.

She nodded and got up to her feet and looked at us nervously. Judy is a special persons she sees visions of the future, I found her after losing my family. She was devastated as she lost her coven too. We took her in and one day while we are hunting. She froze in the hunting ground when the animal tried to attack her. Matt warded it off but she stood still and when she was conscious she was blabbering something like we need to leave. That's when I found about her rare gift and it's her gift that keeps us from bumping into hunters.

"The hunters are devising a plan to get rid of us from the earth. They have been thinking about this for a while. They know that we are growing strong day after day and we know the tactic to protect ourselves so they are in need of something that gives them strength to kill us."

"What plan?" Max growled.

"I'm not sure about that."

"You know now why I need this human here." I stated.

They nodded but still there are murmurs of disagreement. I hated to see when my coven doesn't agree with me.

I glanced at Judy to see how she is holding up by being near a human. We all being elder vampires we could control our thirst to an extent but Judy is the young member of the family which makes her less resistant to smell of blood. She drew her lips tightly while glancing at the hunter. Her expression was confused, she is having mixed feelings, I couldn't pin point which is the most. I could feel emotions but couldn't alter or control them. I'm the eldest of all of them that's how I manage to change forms too.

"Judy, Is everything okay?" Cathy asked.

She nodded but she is clearly confused about something. I tend to know when she is her usual quite self.


<Summer's POV>

Why did he leave like that? May be he is still upset by that day, I should ask him what's wrong. I stared at the star lit sky and there she is. Kitty slowly jumped onto my bed and sat on my laps.

"Hi, kitty. How are you?" I said rubbing its neck.

It stared at me as if to see what I would tell.

"I saw him today and invited him over a cup of coffee. I even apologized to him but he seems to be still upset by that day..."

"He left me without a word.." I sighed.

It rubbed its head against my hands comforting me.

"I wish things were never this complicated. I hate to see that he hates me." I said.

"I wish I have never met him, I'm a loser. I lost Dan and now I'm wailing over some unknown person. "I said sobbing onto the pillow.


<Shadow's POV>
I shouldn't have done that. What am I thinking? She'll know now that I'm not normal. She may even walk away from me but I couldn't see her crying over me.
When I saw her sobbing uncontrollably I wanted to cradle her in my arms and say everything is going to be okay. The urge to do it was so intense that I changed into human form in front of her not that she saw me changing; she was sobbing into the pillow.
When I touched her, she saw with wonder and hugged me crying. I didn't know what to do; I just sat on her bed whispering that everything is going to be okay. She cried for long time and drifted into sleep sometime in the middle and before doing that she kissed me gently on the lips.


<Summer's POV>

When I saw Shadow in my room with his concerned eyes all I thought was to dissolve in his warm hug. I cried all the night and he whispered sweet nothings to me. My mind was so muddled that I never thought how he came into my room until now.

I recalled last night every detail of it. I wasn't sure how he came into my room. May be got through the door just to check on me but I'm sure that I locked all the doors. May be the window? I must be crazy now how can he climb a window in third floor. I was so immersed in my thoughts that I didn't notice the kitty slipping away from the kitchen door. I called after her. It peaked at me before going out. I stared into its eyes. They are so similar to Shadow's eyes. May be Kitty is Shadow... Oh! No... I'm mental now.

What's wrong with me???????? But I'm sure they are so similar.

Instead of having wild fantasies I'll ask him about it not about him being the kitty part. How he came to my room? I even wonder if it's all a dream. I could have believed that if it hadn't felt so real.

College was practically boring, I couldn't concentrate on anything. I fidgeted with pen all the time. When the last of the period finished I let out a huge sigh.

"Do you have any plans for the weekend?" Dan asked crossing my path in the hallway.

I nodded.

"I plan to take some rest and spend time alone. I need to think over something’s" I said stressing the last sentence.

He nodded but he was hurt beyond belief, I knew it but I really need sometime alone.

I went home and waited eagerly in the lounge but he didn’t come, frustrated I left to my room. I started reading a book but that didn’t help, I tried browsing the net the loading time vexed me so I shut down the system soon enough. Seeing that I had nothing better to do, I played music and drifted off to sleep.

I woke up startled when I had the same dream. The kitty purred as I jostled it by sudden movement.

“Sorry, dear. Just a bad dream.”

The kitty purred and rubbed its head against my hands. I patted gently and rubbing its neck. I looked into its eyes, his eyes.

“Are you Shadow?” I asked absentmindedly.

The kitty jumped off my bed staring at me.

I’m crazy now, I thought rubbing my head.


<Shadow’s POV>

I can’t go to her again she is starting to question. It would be too dangerous to reveal myself and who knows how she would react but my heart contrasted the thought of not seeing her again. Well, then I’ll visit her one last time.

I made sure none is staying with her before I knocked on her door.

I
