The Given

CHAPTER FIFTEEN√ Tamed

Marvel

I feel like shit. Damn I surely feel like shit. I missed my father. The man who loved me unconditionally. Every daughters hero. I missed the simple old days in our village. I guess I won't ever get used to this supernatural life. I don't know why but I can't read minds. I can't hear thoughts anymore. Just silence. Its deafening. I walk out as I try to think of a way to apologize to Given. I know that I acted like a bitch. Blaming him instead of thanking him. What's wrong with me? I sighed and concluded that I would make a diner apology treat. I left the safety of the mansion as I gave it an inspection. Its different from the previous one and it looks much more grand. Just how rich is my master? Heheheh...richer than I can be in ten lives combined I guess.

Just metres away I spot a gazelle. Mhh. I was planning on catching a swan or duck but a gazelle?! Hehehe the gods are finally reconciling with me. I tried to command it using my mind.

Nothing.

" Come on gazelle.. Come so that you can be food for diner. I freaking need you to mend my poor relations with my Master's family." I said soothingly at the gazelle and it seemed to listen. Its working!

" What are you doing?" I was so startled just I jumped in shock. The gazelle unfortunately for me, galloped away. Shit! I turned to look at a very guilty Ramon staring at me.

" Ramon!" I whisper yelled at him in frustration. He lowered his head" sorry. I didn't know you were hunting...without weapons? " he said it in question. I sighed " I was trying the mind luring trick"

" You can do that?" He asked looking shocked. I chuckled at his naivety." Why do think most demons want me?". His cheeks colored as my gaze settled on his.
" I ...I thought because your...amhhhh...". Then it occurred to me that he was actually following me.

" Why are you here Ramon?" His blond hair ruffled against the wind as his blue eyes widened at me. His flush deepened and he stammered " I-I..w-wanted to ..armhh..apologize for yesterday.. I didn't want to...you know...its because...I s-swear it was against my will..I w-will never-" I saved him from any further embarrassment." Your forgiven but-" I smiled devilishly and continued"-you have to help me get that gazelle".

Ramon beamed" sure. That was quick". I glared at him and he chuckled. He raised his nose in the air and sniffed which earned a questioning look from me.

" Are you actually smelling the air? Instead of helping me track the prey!" He smiled as if he caught something. " Am trying to catch its scent. A werewolf thingy. its heading to the west side".

So together we followed the prey, more of me following Ramon and in a few minutes we spotted it again. I grinned as I punched him on his arm playfully." Your good". He grinned and let me proceed on my own as his predator self will give away the cover.

I concentrated on commanding it to come to me. Two minutes passed without it responding. I gritted my teeth. Come on. I put double effort and the gazelle started walking towards me slowly. I was laughing hysterically in the inside as I tried to act cool on the outside.

It walked until it was in front of my face. The creature is beautiful. Sadly, tasty too. In seconds Ramon had snapped its neck before it could bolt away. He slumped the creature on its shoulder as if it weighed nothing and grinned" That was cool Marvel. Saves a lot of energy". I returned back the grin as I moved forward and gave the creature a close inspection.
