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 so petite and seemed so fragile. The women in his clan weren't like that. They were all strongly built, but with a natural elegance. Not so Lany. Her movements and behavior were very smooth and she exuded an equally natural elegance, but he wasn't quite so sure about her physical strength. If she had any, you couldn't see it. He barely felt their weight on his shoulders as he continued walking through the jungle. Every now and then he even had to make sure that he was actually still carrying it on his shoulder.

He found the way now without any effort. It had really stopped him from walking through the forest with Lany in tow. After all, she probably couldn't see anything in this darkness and so she stumbled more than ran through the forest. But now that he was wearing it it was no longer a problem and he was moving much faster. Warren could see every detail of the forest himself, but of course he couldn't show Lany that. But she didn't seem to have noticed either. "Thank the gods!" It would only make things a lot more complicated than it was already enough. He absolutely didn't know how it should go on and his mind kept telling him that he had to get rid of this woman as soon as possible.

They had finally arrived. For the ignorant observer nothing could be seen. Everything looked the same as in the rest of the forest. Trees, thickets, roots - here and there an animal that scurried by and yet it was there. Warren double-checked that the cargo he'd loaded was still in place before proceeding to climb up to his storage area. It was a very tall, ancient tree.

If you looked up, you could just about, but only with a lot of luck, see part of his mighty crown. Since this was mostly covered by other, smaller trees, one could only guess what dimensions this tree really was. That's why Warren chose him. They were old friends when Warren decided to choose him to build his camp. Because Warren grew up here. He had known the tree and the forest all his life. It was his home and not these stuffy cities, with the billions of people who cavorted where some of his clan's companies had inevitably set up shop. No, here and nowhere else he was at home and happy. And only here could he properly perform his task, which was one of the most important in his clan.

Warren was one of the guardians his clan had to protect their secrets and his people. If necessary, with his life. Of course, his father didn't like this when Warren told him his choice, and it hasn't to this day. But in the end he had accepted it, despite not approving it. He had finally chosen Warren for another role in the Clan. But things don't always go according to plan. Ephraim had to see that, what you could think about over and over again while climbing. Warren was surprised every time.

Now that he was in his realm, he laid Lany, who was still sleeping, on his bed. For whatever reason - again, this strange feeling was probably to blame, which came over him more and more often when he looked at Lany - Warren didn't want to wake her. She should rest first. She was able to answer his questions later. For now, another very important need had priority. He was hungry! Damn! He couldn't leave her here alone. What if she woke up now and he wasn't there right now. That could go very wrong then. Especially if one of the other guards would come over to update him. And if one of them discovered Lany all alone, without Warren ...

No, he had to pull himself together. Maybe he could go hunting downstairs, right around his tree. Then in any case no one could simply approach his tree unnoticed and thus his guest and he would not have to leave her alone for too long. Oh yeah! It would definitely be advisable to go hunting now. His supplies were completely exhausted. So it would be quite uncomfortable up here for him, but especially for his guest - and that was to put it harmlessly, of course.

Warren convinced himself one last time that Lany was actually sleeping soundly - oh gods, what have you been burdening me with here? What kind of woman is that you sent me on my way? - before Warren swung himself out of the tree house to finally satisfy his hunger and also to clear his head again. Because this was not possible in Lany's vicinity for reasons inexplicable to him.

  • 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

    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

    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   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
