Avenging her - hima (best ereader for manga .txt) 📗

I need some rest, you please go on." I said.

"Okay,"

He called Luke and said that he won't come. I practically let my mouth hanging open. I had something on my mind that I want to do alone that's why I lied him and now I'm completely trapped.

"Why did you cancel the match?"

"It's not important than you." he said firmly.

"Oh! come on. It's just a headache."

"Besides your friends need you in the team to win, you are the key player."

"They can do well without me." He assured searching the first aid box for my medicine probably.

"But they can do best with you on their side."

It's really great to have a friend like Dan. I mean who would cancel their match for a backstabber like me?

"You should go. I can take care of myself. Please…"I said kissing his cheeks gently.

"I'll go but promise you'll be safe." he said.

I nodded and tugged him to make a move.

I went through the names of the west hill coven and their pictures again and again. What struck to me was this. Didn't Shadow mention that he has a sister Catherine and brother in law Matt; Weirdly their names are on the list. I stared at the ruined pictures

I should talk to him. How???I grabbed my jacket and ran towards the forest.


<Shadow's POV>

I couldn't wait any longer to see her and feel her in my arms. I felt restless as the days passed by without seeing her. Mean while members in the coven worked hard they won't back up until all the hunters die, I'm positive about it. Speaking of hunters, Judy and Alan are in love. They didn't admit it but I know it because of my power. Cathy says that they are up to something. She caught glimpses of their plan in their mind but they are keeping her out purposefully by thinking about random things.

I nodded. May be they are planning to elope?

She shrugged. Even if they do, I know he will keep her safe and she him. She nodded.

Cathy left me and huddled close to Matt, slapping him playfully for his stupid comments. Everyone in the room is in pairs now. Each emotion shrieked out loud; lust and love which took me back to Summer.

I have to go away; I thought and briskly stood up and walked away. I went in the way where my legs took me. It's little later that I realized I'm on my way to the lake.

If I'm going to be there may be its safe to be in animal form, I thought and transformed into kitten.


<Summer's POV>

I stumbled through the forest. I thought I was lost for a second but something in me said to walk... walk..

Finally, I caught the glimmer of water on the green leaves and I knew that I'm so near to it. Part of the plan is successful but will he come? I waited for almost an hour still there is no sign of him. I am flustered; I stood up peeking all the corners for any movement. It's nearly time Dan is home. He will be upset and worried about me. May be this is all a bad idea, I thought.

I turned to go away when I heard rustle of the leaves. I turned to see kitty coming towards the lake, a feeling of dejavu, I hid behind the bushes trying to make sense where I had seen this.

The kitty looked straight at me, even though I wouldn't be seen through the thick bush that covered me. I shrugged off the feeling and waited...

I stared at it, there's impossible smile on the kitty's face. At first I didn't notice the changes but soon I saw that its paws turning into feet and its whole body expanding.

BOOM!!!!!

Shadow stood in front of me, his perfectly carved face, a grin on the face and everything about him is god like. I pondered on the feelings for a while.

"Summer, I know you are here. Come out,please." He said in his intoxicating voice.

How did he know? That's when I resolved the feeling of dejavu, I'm in my dream again. I walked towards him as if I’m in trance. He held out his hands and I reached out tentatively. He pulled me closer staring into my eyes, I waited for the writhing pain that comes from my neck now but nothing happened. He leaned closer to me. Now... I thought.

He inhaled my scent and I felt his lips touching my smooth skin under the neck. Now.. I thought again. He kissed me gently and pulled himself away.

It's not how the dream went, I screamed in my head. I'm not sure why I was so upset about it, I mean none would like pain but I must be psycho to enjoy it and feel welcome of it. I smirked about my thoughts.

Shadow smiled and all my stupid thoughts fled off and I found myself in his arms once again. We sat on the edge of the lake. I removed my sandals and put my legs in the water allowing the cold water to calm my senses. Shadow took my hands into his, gently rubbing on the back, he stared at me. I leaned onto his shoulder. I didn't know how much time we passed sitting absolutely still like that.

I felt Shadow straighten up and glancing around nervously and a few minutes later he relaxed.

"Cathy, please don't spy on me. Show yourself." He said in barely audible tone.

I wondered who he is speaking to and who could listen a barely made whisper.

"Sorry, brother. Didn't mean to do that. We are just worried." a musical voice rang.

I heard the rustle and glanced in that direction. A young girl walked out of the canopy of trees, all angels like in normal human dress. Another rustle and then a boy emerged from the shadows. He is almost god like too but nowhere near to the man have I held now. They looked at me and gasped.

“Nina…” She cried in joy.
The young boy protectively placed his arms above the girl’s shoulders. What was he protecting her from? Me? An involuntary thought occurred. I dusted it off.

Shadow stood on his feet and pulled me up gently. I leaned even more close to him inhaling his sweet scent.

"Summer, this is my sister, Cathy and brother Matt." he introduced them.

They smiled at me but kept distance between us as possible as they could.

She nodded to Shadow as if he said something to her. Did he?

She took few nervous steps towards me, I smiled and extended my hands towards her. She brushed it off and hugged me fiercely. Wow! she is strong though she looked fragile. Shadow squeezed her shoulders and she let me go embarrassed.

"Sorry." she said.

"No problem." I smiled.

“I think you should go, it’s getting late.” Shadow said.

She smiled and glanced at her watch.

“Oh my god! I’m late.” I said.

I gave him a quick peck on the cheeks and left running towards my home.
“Thank god, you are here.” Dan cried hugging me in the doorway.

“Um… Dan. Will you put me down?” I asked.

“Where did you go?” he asked.

“I needed some things so I went to the store.” I said.

He is not convinced by that but he left it like that. Thank him for that.

I went to my room and fell face down on the pillow. I thought about how serene it felt to hold him and be near to him. Now that I’m away from him more questions popped up into my mind. I wondered how I accepted the fact that he is the kitty all the time. I didn’t even freak out, I mean I behaved like it never happened at all may be I’m not in right mind. I think it’s his magic whenever I’m near him I think absolutely of nothing. It’s just him.

So, Shadow changes into kitty, is he a shape-shifter? I wonder what other forms he can change into. I picked up the red file to look at his picture, there he is standing and smiling alluringly. Something caught my eye; the other two people in the picture whose face isn’t struck are indeed Matt and Cathy. My mind reeled at the revelation. How come they too didn’t age? This is absurd. Why did Dad keep all these files? What are these records exactly? I thought he works in some random company as employee but this list have nothing to do with his work. Something is really wrong!

I threw the file frustrated on the bed when I saw a letter falling from the file on my bed. I opened it gingerly not wanting to see any more surprises.

Dear Daniel,
Congratulations on wiping out the entire region from them. I have good news for you, we killed the vampire who killed your wife, I know you wanted to do it yourself but we didn’t have any other choice. But know this mate you have restored peace to your mate.

What’s the letter about? The vampire who killed your wife what does this mean? Mom died in a car accident? Vampire? Did I see it right? My mind raced with the new findings.

“Summer.” I heard Dad shrieking at the top of his voice.

Dad! When did he come home? Why is he shouting? I ran downstairs.

“Where did you go?” he asked.

I saw Dan mouthing a sorry. He must have told dad when he got worried about me.
“I went to the store.” I mumbled.

“I want the truth.” He demanded.

“It is the truth.” I said.

He realized that he won’t get anything out of me if he is that way so he calmed himself down.

“We promised to not to keep secrets.” He replied.

“You tell me that when your whole life you are holding a secret life behind me.” I shrieked throwing the papers at him from the red file.

I could see his face registered shock. I didn’t know why I did that may be the frustration about not being able to know about Shadow more or the unanswered questions or how Dad has something to do Shadow and I didn’t know what.

“Where did you get that?” he asked.

He slumped on to the chair and caught his head in his hands.

“May be it’s time she knows everything at least that
