2020-10-11 18:20:34Quiet - all-consuming silence. Almost every animal had gotten to safety and listened silently in its hiding place. Only the monkeys in the supposedly safe height of their trees announced the approaching danger.
The day hadn't quite dawned yet, but it was already hesitantly sending the first rays of sun through the thick canopy of leaves, if they could even reach that far to the ground. But that was exactly the right time.
In the distance one could hear the roar of the engines of several jeeps, which drove awkwardly but nevertheless quickly through the dense forest. Several men sat in them - men in camouflage suits, grim faces and automatic weapons over their shoulders.
They were mercenaries. Everyone is an experienced hunter. They were looking for one of the jungle's greatest secrets. Their client had promised them a lot of money for this and made the great urgency of this assignment very clear. The ways and means that would be necessary to achieve their goal did not interest him.
So he had provided them with everything they needed and already anonymously transferred a considerable amount as a deposit. Only when their mission was crowned with success would he join them and inevitably reveal himself.
They stopped at a smaller arm of the river, spread a map on one of the bonnets, and began to discuss their next route. They had already penetrated very deeply into the jungle, but could no longer make any progress with their cars. The terrain was too rough for them to continue on foot and that annoyed them. But eventually they could agree on a direction.
After half a day of walking into the jungle, the canopy thinned again and they decided to take another rest. Bending over the map again, they were surprised to find that this clearing was nowhere to be found, but that shouldn't bother them for now.
Suddenly there was almost dead silence again - the forest around them had fallen silent again. You couldn't even hear the hum of the many insects anymore. It would have been downright scary if the men had even noticed it.
But they were already involved in the next discussion. Since each of them was a loner by nature, no one wanted to give in. After all, they were only together when forced, because their client wanted it that way and beckoned them with more than a royal amount of money.
But none of that mattered anymore - the men just didn't know it yet.
They came silently and there were many. They had already watched their destination all the way from the river to here and were now surrounded. After all, the hunting group had come too close to their territory and thus to their secret. They had no other choice. They had to protect theirs and that meant the hunters had to go.
The men hardly stood a chance. By the time they saw her, it was too late. Even their automatic weapons were completely useless in this attack. The attack was short, bloody, and terrifyingly effective. The brief turmoil lasted no more than a few blink of an eye. Then it was over. Silence. There wasn't much left of the hunting community. The forest would take care of the miserable remains - as always.
And now, just as silently as they had come, they disappeared again and life in the jungle went on in its normal rhythm. Just like that - as if nothing had happened - as if these men had never existed - and the forest breathed audibly.

The Darkness In Him Exceptions
Everything was calm again. Well, insofar as one could speak of calm in a jungle. A couple of monkeys scurried by right next to Warren's house and other animals relaxed more and more. The danger was over - for now.Lany sat very still and listened for the noises that were so completely different and yet somehow familiar. She just didn't know why. Also, she only realized now that she was still clinging to Warren. She hadn't felt so safe with anyone since early childhood. And either Warren was asleep by now or he was enjoying the quiet get-together with her too. She couldn't really imagine the latter, however. Because it was only too obvious that he hadn't wanted to take her with him in the first place. It was only because Rosa had told him, no, even ordered, that she was here now.Lany still couldn't believe what almost happened. Of course it was dangerous in the jungle. She had already realized that when she booked the trip. But then being co
The Darkness In Him Gaze
While Rosa was finishing her report, one of the two always listened for the noises outside the bar. Not that this stranger secretly overheard her and found out that Rosa knew more than she had told him. But nothing could be heard. He really seemed to have gone to his quarters. Better for him - they decided.It was only early morning when he woke up in that shabby little room, in the shabbier bed. But what do you not endure to achieve your goal? The first rays of sun fell through the dirty window and he decided that he had waited enough. True to the motto: Only the early bird catches the worm, he dressed and went down to the reception. He hoped that there would at least be breakfast here that wouldn't give you one or the other unpleasant bowel disease.When he got downstairs, he was surprised that someone was actually already working here. A young woman stood behind the counter, leafing through a tattered newspaper. He asked for breakfast and
The Darkness In Him Stalker
He headed straight for her. His hunger had not yet been satisfied. But he had to make sure the young woman was okay. He'd already suspected it wasn't a good idea to leave her here all alone. And he really hadn't moved very far. Warren came to a stop right in front of his bed, in front of Lany. She seemed to be in shock because she did not move, but sat upright and still breathed - "Thank gods" -. That was really close. He should have been fucking careful. But this wouldn't have happened in the first place if he hadn't taken her with him. "What a damn crap !!!"Warren didn't even dare touch Lany, let alone speak to her. He just stood motionless in front of her for a while. When she still didn't move, he tried a little push. "Ms. Briscott? ... Lany? Are you all right? ”Hm, somehow he had just experienced it recently. And again she began to move very slowly and finally looked in his direction."Warren? Warren, what just happened? Lany's v
The Darkness In Him The danger
There was no sound as the huge big cat moved smoothly through the underbrush. Everyone in her immediate area knew she was hunting. All of their potential victims had retired to their hiding places so as not to end up as their snack.Quietly and very skillfully, four huge black paws made their way through the forest. In between the panther stopped and listened. It was a magnificent animal. Bigger and stronger than its other kind and as black as the blackest night. Anyone who caught such an animal among all the poachers would have cared for for his life. But until now no one had ever caught him. The big cat didn't miss the slightest sound. High above him he heard the monkeys scurrying softly through the branches. Shortly before him, a little mouse ran quickly into its cave. And again and again a very special scent rose in his nose, but he seemed to feel that he was not allowed to follow it. Therefore, he moved purposefully in the opposite direction.
The Darkness In Him Tired
Lany was getting more and more tired. She stumbled the whole time and fell every few meters over the numerous roots that so "helpful" stretched out of the ground towards her. She didn't even know how long they had been wandering through this forest and still they hadn't reached Warren's camp. Maybe he was lost? After all, she couldn't put one foot in front of the others and just turned over from exhaustion.“Oh man, I was just missing that. Such a crap. Why couldn't I just leave her with Rosa. Then this guy would have found her! So what? What is it to me? In any case, I would have finally had my peace. But no, I had to play the great hero. I really had to take her with me, and now? ”While Warren shouldered the exhausted Lany, he mumbled to himself and didn’t let any good hair on himself. It annoyed him too much and he just couldn't understand what had made him want to help this woman and finally take her with him.She was s
The Darkness In Him His arms
Finally Lany looked in the direction of the door and saw that Rosa had just entered the hallway and bolted the door. She came up to them both and looked worriedly at Lany. Then Rosa turned her gaze to Warren alone for a moment and then, without saying a word, moved to the other, locked door to open it. After entering the small room herself, she waved to Warren and Lany and pointed to another door in that room. Warren gave her a briefly startled expression, but it vanished as quickly as it had appeared. Maybe Lany was just wrong about that. Rosa whispered something to Warren before letting them both outside through the door just shown.They seemed to be at the back of the building now and it seemed that Warren knew exactly what to do. Lany followed without resisting. They were moving fast so Lany could barely keep up with him. And since it was already dark, Warren was careful to keep them in the shadows. Nobody should discover them, nobody should even suspect that they had jus
