Reatherian Series ( Book 1) Escaping Saied

Chapter 3

Saied

Im disrupted from my note taking, when I hear the cries of an animal getting caught in one of my traps
I watch through my binoculars, focused on the endangered miscrow wild panther bear.
I take note of his trail and the animal he eats along the way.
I hear the snap of the net as whatever creature it has capture tries to make its escape
The loud noise disturbs the miscrow causing it to scurry away
Although big and it being a deadly predator, the miscrow does not like loud noises.
I once again ignore the trapped animal and move to follow the miscrow trail
As I move towards the tracks
My feet feel heavy
Like they aren't wishing to go any forward
Strange.
I will myself forward and my fangs begin to elongate and my heart begins to palpitate
I step back and I feel slight relief.
Maybe the Gods are un-wanting of me to follow the miscrow.
I guess I will check the trap instead.
I carefully head back down the trail and peak at the trap through the trees, I see some kind of small animal is caught.
As I get closer, I hear it mumbling strange words.
...This is no Animal.
As I step under the net I finally make out a foreign creature, I would say an alien, but It looks almost like like me.
As I tilt my head to the left I became face to face with the creature.
I make out their beautiful face.
I feel bumps break out all over my skin and my fangs begin to ache again.
I shake my head.
I must be hungry.
I move to the tree to my left and cut down the net
I slowly lower it down
And walk back over to the creature laying unconscious on the ground.
Now without the net covering it I can take in its true form
... a Female?
What the jax is a Female doing out here, and such a small one at that
And not to mention I've never seen a Reatherian this color before, well not that I've seen every reatherian, but our tones usually range from blues, to greens, so she must not be from here.
As I bend down to pick up the female, electricity runs through me, I've been shocked.
I retreat my hand And shake away the static, quickly lifting her back into my arms.
I reach for her makeshift bag and carry it as well
I follow the ten minute trail to the base of the mountain, to my home in the trees.

I step into my wooden-elevator and pull a rope attached to a large sand bag that sends us flying to the top.
I enter my house and close the door behind me
I place the small female in my bed and quickly get started on the fire.
She's freezing and bleeding almost every where
How long has she been out here?
I pour water into a bowl and grab a cloth and bring it over to her
I dip the cloth in water and begin cleaning her off
Everytime I touch her, I seem to get shocked.
I shake off the goosebumps and keep working.
Once I finish working on the exposed skin I see, I notice the blood stains coming from underneath her clothes.
"Please know that I would never do this if I had a choice"... she could be severely injured, right?
I need to check her out.
"I'm sorry." I apologize as I remove her outer layer of clothes and wipe down her bloody body
Once I remove the blood I cover her injuries with antiseptic and bandage her up
Her clothes are basically scraps now I doubt she still wants to wear them
I throw them to the corner of the room.
I reach into one of my drawers and pull out a long sleeved shirt
I quickly place it on her.
I place the back of my hand to her forehead,
She still cold.
Why won't she get warm.
Reatherian women never get cold, their bodies always remain an even 115 degrees, while we males always remain 108 degrees
I place 2 blankets over her before I quickly scoot in next to her limp body
"Once again, I apologize female."
I wrap my arms around her, holding her tightly to my now bare chest. She shivers and pushes herself against.
We stay like this, hoping she will warm up soon.
As I get closer to her
My insides begin to rumble and purr, why am I doing that.
JAX! what the hell is happening to me.
When I move back from her it stops and when I get closer it resumes
Strange.

I lay next to her for just long enough that she is no longer cool to the touch.
I stand from the bed and make my way to my desk
What the Jax am I going to do
A female this deep in the jungle, and I have no way of contacting the court... my parents
I mean I haven't seen them since I went off the grid years ago.
And as a researcher I never thought being radio Solent would bother me until now.
