Chapter 20

Huilen's POV

With Nahuel being so preoccupied with the human girl that he had saved, I was feeling more lost then ever. It was not that I wasn't happy for him having found someone to spend his time with, but I wish constantly to have someone to share that part of myself with. I was thankful that Nahuel seemed to have been exempt from the angry wrath of the spirits, who have haunted my fate for years. I started roaming the forest, Nahuel was able to care for himself, and I knew that as involved as her was with what he was doing, that he would not be aware of my absence.

I walked day and night, taking great care not to go anywhere near the village that Nahuel's human friend lived in while I was thirsty. I may have chosen a different diet then my nephew, but that didn't mean that I couldn't honor his choices by staying away from those people that he had chosen to associate with.

The weather in the jungle varied between hot and humid, and wet and rainy. Hot and humid never bothered me, but the rain did, as much as I loved to swim, especially now that I could stay underwater for as long as I wished, I did not like to have the clothes I was wearing plastered against my skin. My heightened senses made it even more discomforting then it had been when I was human. I was deep into an unfamiliar part of the jungle, simply moving with no purpose or direction when I noticed that the clouds in the sky were getting darker. I started to look for a sheltered place, to wait out the storm that was about to be upon us. My keen eyes noticed a wide crack in the face of a large rocky structure, and I went to investigate it.

The rock was coated with overgrown vines, which clung to its surface making the opening almost indecipherable, at least to a normal pair of eyes. As I examined the opening, the clouds opened up into a torrential down pour, drenching me in the seconds that it took to dodge into the opening in the rock face. I Entered the hidden cave, that was much larger then it appeared from outside, scanning it with my senses. It glowed with an ethereal light, the inner surface of the walls were coated with strange colorful transparent rocks, that took in all available light and released it back out into the cave in a rainbow of colors.

It was so beautiful that my breath caught in my throat. I lost myself for a moment, like a child, as I took in the way the colors bounced around the cave, bathing every available surface in rainbows. I had never seen anything so perfect. I was so enamored that I have to admit I was startled when a burst of laughter broke the silence behind me. I whipped around, forgetting to limit my lightening speed reflexes. So startled that I didn't think to care who was watching me.

A man sat in the shadowed part in the cave. He sat on the floor, his posture was one of relaxed contentment. It only took one glance for me to Take in his smooth features, and his crimson colored eyes, that were currently glowing with delight. It moved back against the wall of the cave. I had never met another creature like myself, and the shock must have been apparent on my face. He stood up, unfolding his long muscular frame, his muscles glowing in the array of colors flooding the cave. I could see his finely honed chest, and the way the muscles in his body bulged with each movement. I mentally took in his long dark hair, that was pulled away from his face showing his smooth skin, and his bright teeth that flashed in a grin full of humor.

I did not know what to do. I was unable to speak, all I could do was watch as he neared, noticing the way the colored light played on his dark skin. I could not keep from looking at him. Very inappropriate thoughts raced through my mind, here was a man who would not make my throat burn if he was close. I could not hurt him with my strength, and those thoughts racing through my head made the loneliness that I had been suffering overwhelm me with an almost crippling wave of emotion.

I turned to move away, not wanting to be confronted with the pain that I had felt so often since my transformation. I had almost reached to rocky opening when I felt A vise like grip grab my wrist. I turned to look at him, my eyes begging him to let me go. His other hand snaked around my waist, and it pulled my body around to face him. "Why are you leaving?" He asked I was not sure how to respond. "I , Well I never…..your like me?" I finished it was more like a question then a statement of truth. He nodded, his eyes seemed to grasp the situation. "Am I the first that you have met?" He searched my face for an answer. I nodded my answer. "I never….I didn't think, I did not expect to ever…" I surely sounded like a fool.

"You thought that you were alone?" he finished for me. I looked at his face then, biting my lower lip, nodding my consent in reponse to his question. "You are not here alone!" He stated. He put a finger under my chin, making me raise my face to him. "I am sorry that such a beautiful woman had to feel so alone." He said. Then slowly, his eyes never leaving mine, he lowered his face to mine and placed his soft warm lips to mine.

Every part of my body was over come with a current of electricity, from my lips down to the tips of my toes and fingers as he kissed me. I couldn't help myself, and my body reacted as if it's movements could dispel all of the loneliness that it had experienced my touching him, by confirming that I really, truly was not alone.
