2020-10-11 18:27:27There 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.
Suddenly he sensed his prey. He crouched toward it. Each of his muscles was tense to the limit. He was ready to jump. The big cat was now only a few meters away from its meal when the wind suddenly turned and thus ruined his chance to strike.
But at the same time another smell reached his sensitive nose. Another had entered his turf. With a giant leap he turned and ran at incredible speed in the direction from which the smell was coming.
It was just in time ...
And the forest breathed a sigh of relief as the robber disappeared - for this time everyone had got away scot-free!
Lany was just opening her eyes. She seemed to have slept a long time and now had visible difficulties to orientate herself. She felt for what she was lying on and felt to her surprise that it had to be a bed and that she was covered with a knitted blanket. It was still dark night. And for some reason she didn't feel particularly safe right now.
At first she couldn't really make out what it might be. Because she seemed to be in a house and in a bed, and after all, while she and Warren were walking through the woods, she had never felt any real fear. Warren! That was it. He didn't seem to be here. Lany couldn't feel his presence, but she was sure she wasn't really alone either.
Someone was here with her in this room.
Carefully she felt for a light switch - but found none. "Damn it!" Gradually, luckily, her eyes seemed to get used to the darkness. She could now see individual schemes. She saw that she was actually in a room. This had several windows, which apparently weren't glazed, but were simply open holes in the wall and she could only make out a single door.
Suddenly she noticed a movement from the corner of her eye. Her breathing and heartbeat quickened instantly. She tried so hard to calm herself down that other noises at least weren't drowned out by the rush of her own blood in her ears, but it was useless. Another movement. Now much closer to her. The shadow that was moving toward them wasn't particularly large. So it couldn't be human. Had one of the dangerous predators she'd read about before leaving the open window found its way to his next meal - her?
So fast that Lany didn't understand what was happening at first, she heard a bestial growl, then a hiss and then a long black shadow actually came through one of the windows. This came to a stop right between her and the other shadow. Then everything went even faster. Both shadows attacked each other, knotting themselves into a tangled tangle. There was growling and hissing again. Lany also heard a strange noise, whereupon there was a deafening yowl. Then both shadows, still knotted together and apparently struggling hard, had disappeared through one of the windows again. In the distance she heard her struggle still muffled.
Lany hadn't noticed how she'd been holding her breath the whole time. Until now. Her lungs burned and she gasped for breath. Phew, that was close. If that other shadow hadn't appeared, who knows if she'd still be alive.
Still busy at last to take a proper and calm breath again and still lost in her thoughts, Lany did not notice again how a shadow moved through one of the windows and approached her again.

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 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
