Her aura knocks me off my feet, she reeks of vengeance and pure raw anger. So palpable, it was suffocating. The tension between both females is so thick you can cut it with a knife. This female is tall with dark mocha skin, her head is covered by black crazy curly hair, her eyes glow bright silver and the muscles covering her body don't make her seem any less feminine. Her arms, back and face are covered in scars, but it does not make her any less beautiful.
She carries herself with grace and authority, her head held high without shame. She is wearing a strapless yellow dress that hugs her curves and flows down to her bare feet making her seem harmless. I cower away from what accompanies her, 'A Black Panther'. It follows her as she walks, like a lost puppy. It looks as if it had given up on life, roaring at the air in anguish, something in me whimpers in pain for its loss. The whimper made it pass my lips without any hassle.
Its empty black eyes met mine, I stare at it as something in me reaches out towards it nostalgically wanting to sooth the pain away. I feel as my mind is caressed lovingly, whatever is in me embraces it and I felt as if something clicks into place. Its eyes shine bright as if something is breathing life back into its soul. It looks towards the female then towards me as if wanting to be near me. The two females turn to each other and start to argue between themselves.
"This should be interesting." The male says from next to me frightening me almost into a cardiac arrest. He had slowly approached me without making a sound, I scramble away from him as far as I could. "Who are you people?" I ask loudly making both females look knowingly towards me then disregard me. "I am Zander descendent of the sun, the female that spoke to you is Luna descendent of the moon and the other is Keisha her sister." Zander answers as he slowly approaches me.
His answer leaves me reeling with more questions. I still do not know who they are, I lean against one of the trees and sit by its roots. I pull my knees against my chest and lay my head against them. I feel something rub against my shoulder and lick my cheek. I lift my head and scream in fright. The panther roars loudly and pounces, its teeth meet my neck and pierces my skin. I feel my warm blood run down my chest and back. Tears flow down my cheeks with nothing stopping their descend.
I survived my mother's wrath only to die by the jaw of a panther. I feel Zander reach towards me, his energy fills me to my core, it rushes through my veins and ties itself around my heart making it his. He caresses my face lovingly and wipes my tears away. The energy shows me glimpses of him watching the exchange between the panther and I from the moment Keisha had showed herself. He never took his eyes off us as Keisha and Luna bicker between themselves. "To late… she has been chosen." Zander says as I lose consciousness.
"It is to late… She has been chosen…" keeps repeating through my mind on a loop.
"She is back, she is back!" I hear someone yell distortedly as if I were under water. I feel many hands on me, prodding, pinching and moving me. The pain is escalating making me wish I were dead. I hear many voices but can't make out what they are saying, and I don't recognize any of them. "We got her, we got her!" My eyes are forcefully open and flashed with a bright light. "Pupils are responsive…" I hear distortedly. Everything hurts and the more they move me, the worse it got.
"Who did this to this poor girl?" someone whispers. "I don't know but whoever did, left her for dead." Another person responds. Their voices start to sound slurred as the pain gets worse. "We are losing her…" I hear as I start to feel numb, the darkness is calling me like the voice of a siren, sweet relieve… "What have you done?!" I hear Keisha demand. "What I had…" Zander starts saying, "You better not dare finish that sentence!" Keisha roars in anger.
"I did you a favor…" he says, "Oh… please Zander you only thought of yourself, so do not pretend…" her anger was suffocating me. "It was either do it this way or sabotage your plan and take her for myself. It has been centuries since I have found a soul with that fire." Zander hisses. "That is why I wanted her! You do not have a clue of what you have done. You are always meddling where you are not wanted. I can smell what you did." She says angry.
"I will not apologize! I have my reasons and you have yours. Deal with it!" he yells annoyed. "I chose her, I wanted her, and you just had to piss all over my plan. I needed her…" Keisha hisses. "What is done, can't be undone Keisha. Let it go… now we must see it play out. Finnish the claim or she will die." Luna says. "She still might." Keisha whispers in anger. What are they talking about? I hear a soothing chant and feel something in me come alive.
Power rushes through my veins at such blinding speed making me feel as if I was being burned alive. I feel her pull something from inside me and unite it with my soul. I feel my soul embrace it with love and mix it with our DNA. I feel whole again… There is barely any pain, I move my finders testing the waters then my toes, hands and legs waiting for the pain, but none came. I feel sore but no pain.
