Chapter Thirty-Six: Predatory Thoughts
He watched her disappear into the night just as he had done so very long ago when he sent her on that mission that changed both their lives. She was so spirited and head strong. He stayed out there into the depths of the night reflecting on his intentions and feelings.
His intention had originally been to take an "innocent" walk along the shore but when he saw her making her way out there into the night a feeling of becoming the predator he was took over. He had silently followed her in the shadows keeping his distance so she did not sense him but close enough that he could see her wonderful figure.
When she had disappeared into the darkness in the alcove he adjusted his sight and hearing and noiselessly brought the feeling of dread upon her. As he stood there stooped down almost to the ground she had stood up and looked around cautiously and sat back down. Then after a few minutes she had stood back up and shouted something to do with coward. He had chuckled at this and the sound had engulfed the little alcove making her more frightened than ever.
When she had cautiously sat down on the beach he had crept from his hiding place calculated some "minor" things and sprung. He had intended to land so he was arched over her head but she moved and he fell into a heap of robotic limbs feeling very foolish.
She had yelled at him for almost crushing her and a wave of defense swept over him and he protested. She hadn't seemed pleased with his defense and started walking away. But he used his speed to block her way, they had stood there for a while and she tried to walk around him.
He wasn't done with the intentions that had taken over and he rolled his eyes at her feeble attempt to leave as he put his arm out and reeled it back towards himself his prize in hand (more like in arm). Her body had rammed into his torso but he didn't sway instead the impact made his cloak fall around his body completely engulfing her in its folds.
How very covenant. He had thought. She stood there stunned for a moment then said something but he couldn't clearly understand her as she squirmed her way free from his grasp and losing her balance, she fell to the ground. After she got back up she sighed and tried to catch him off guard by staring him in the eyes and suddenly did a series of movements enhanced by the force to get away from him.
But he had been too fast for her and before he even knew what happened he had her pinned on the ground with himself pressing down on her. The sensations that went through his body overwhelmed him and wondered what it would have been like if he was still his original self. He had said something and she replied and after a while she closed her eyes sinking into thought he presumed to shut him out.
He half kneeled half laid on the ground staring into her intoxicating face that made him feel totally and completely at a loss of what he would originally had done if he was still fully organic. When she opened her eyes she ordered that he get off of her and with great reluctance he had.
After he reflected on the happenings of his little escapade he went to his room and sat down and went into a dormant stage dreaming of a warrior that had shown him the meaning of life over and over again.
