Chapter 3
The Group had decided to stay with Raki before they all departed. Raki was excited to travel with the women. (After all what man wouldn't want to travel with seven beautiful women? And it's a hell of a lot better than being alone!) The group relaxed, swam in the lake, and learned new moves from Raki. Raki would disappear early in the morning and come home around noon. Helen, Clare, and Tabitha tried to follow him several times but by the time they got out of the cave, they could never follow him, or find a trail. That was all of the excitement the women got until Raki invited them to follow him about a week later.
The women found it strange that he hadn't left before they woke up. Raki had waited until everyone was awake and around the fire until talking.
"If anyone want's to have a little fun, your welcome to join me. I'll be leaving in 20 minutes."
"What kind of fun?" Helen asked with a raised brow.
"Not what your thinking, Helen. There are about five awakened beings in the forest that needs to be dispatched. They have been feeding in one of the villages at the base of the other side of the mountain. From what my 'friends' tell me they have killed about 34 people in the last week. I'm planning on killing all of them today, even if none of you help me."
Miria was now looking at Raki in acceptance. Miria quickly accepted his offer. Soon after Clare, Helen, and Deneve joined the two.
The small hunting party had been walking silently for the last hour. They soon arrived at a large, dark cave. Raki motioned to the cave and mouthed the words 'In here'. the group spread out at the opening of the cave. When Raki waved his hand, the group charged into the cave. Within three minutes they had slaughtered the awakened beings.
Clare and Helen had received minor cuts and busies. But other than that, the group was unharmed.
"Anyone up for a swim…. Or a bath?" asked Raki.
The other three warriors quickly agreed.
Another week quickly went by. Raki was still training the women. And all of them were getting faster and stronger than when Miria was training them. Much to their surprise.
One evening, Clare was finally able to get some time alone with Raki. After Clare closed the door to the room, she quickly flung herself into Raki's arms. They stood there holding each other, taking in the simple comfort that they had been denied for seven years. After several minutes of silence, Raki spoke.
"Clare?"
"Hmm?"
"I missed you, all of these years."
"I missed you too, Raki."
There were several minutes of comfortable silence, before Raki forced up the courage to speak.
"Clare?"
"Hmm?"
"I love you."
Clare slowly pushed Raki away a little to look into his silver eyes. Eye's filled with love for her. Clare wrapped her arms around his strong neck, pulled herself up, and placed a passionate kiss on his lips. After several minutes, the two broke apart.
"I love you too, Raki."
Clare then started to slowly pull him over to the bed, for what Raki will remember as the most memorable night of his life.
