I sat on the couch at Hunter's home sipping some warm chamomile tea.
Mr. Niall was taking a nap upstairs, which left Hunter and I ALONE
downstairs. Although my urge to show my love to Hunter was strong, I dared
not show it with his father in the house.
My focus turned to the topic at hand, I set my teacup onto the coffee
table and started to talk, "Didn't you sense the person who walked into the
gym? I know it was another blood witch. a strong one."
Hunter sat back on the couch beside me, "Well, I sensed a little of
what you are saying. I'll trust you since you've mastered casting your
senses. Who would have come there though? It couldn't have been anyone we
know. you would have felt them."
"Yes. I know. That's what worries me! What if it was someone from
Amyranth? What if they want revenge?" My mind raced with ideas. Nothing
seemed likely though. I became exhausted from such deep thought and retired
my head to Hunter's built chest. To feel it rise and fall comforted me to a
certain extent.
His fingers played with my hair. He twirled it and stroked it. "I'm
sure it was just some witch who decided to go work out, found two people
making out, and then found it best to leave."
I sighed, "Maybe you're right."
Hunter chuckled, "Of course I'm right." Usually I would have taken
such a comment as him being full of himself, but the way he said it was
more assuring.
I soon left his house in Das Boot. As I drove down the road a red
truck started to pursue me. When I turned right the person behind me turned
right. When I sped up the person behind me did so too. Finally, I detoured
into a subdivision and drove around the meandering roads. After a few
speeding corners (okay. and a good magickal distraction) I got away. When I
returned home I ran into the house. I had to call Hunter.
