First book of the series "the Chronicles of Hunters and Familiars".
The world of animals and the human world. Two completely different worlds coexist next to each other, but only some special people can see the distinction between these worlds.
And...
As soon as Kristina had gone a sufficient distance, leaving these two alone, Mr. Phil was the first person that talked to a stranger:
- Don't look at her. Even if you watch nothing will happen. You know I have.
It's my business, Phil, coldly said the stranger, looking at a familiar on his shoulder, Golden eyes wild. Now, it's just an opinion, but who knows what will happen in the future.
- You're still doing the wrong steps, - said Phil, shaking his head, as if silently rebuking a stubborn person. - Really, the past you never learn?
- Past, present, future - none of it could have anything to teach me. coldly he uttered. - They only kill me more. Like those who doomed my life for this suffering.
But in doing these things... I Think he can get someone taken away from you? - gently asked Phil. - Have you ever thought that all these sacrifices are useless?
- What is for me this is important? - said the stranger, raising his gaze to the clear sky today. - I have long forgotten what it means to me the limit of their actions. I just want to see HER. Even if I have to destroy two worlds I will not cease to hope that could happen tomorrow.
- Do not hurry with this, said Phil, frowning. Even if you have a chance to return it, but would this "last piece" of your puzzle?
- When and from whom I ever asked permission? coldly asked him a stranger, and in the shadow of his hood could be seen a dangerous smile. - I'll just do this as soon as final preparations are completed.
You're making a big mistake, a dark Hunter, again shaking his head, said Phil. - She doesn't forgive you for this.
- So... - said the stranger, taking a step deep into the forest. - ... But for the sake of meeting her, I won't stop! Even if I have to go into the abyss of despair!
Soon the stranger disappeared in the shadows of the trees, and Phil continued to hover above the ground, and with great concern to see that go.
Even if you swear before heaven true... - with a heavy sigh, Phil said, fixing his eyes to the sky. - ... But the past will not return. Why are you unwilling to reconcile with its own past, my friend?
Phil for a moment he closed his eyes, sinking into those memorable days when everything was nice and rosy. When the smile his friend was sincere, and his lover... was his light in peace. As things went awry, destroying this idyll? Why it happened to them? And whether he does so weakly trying to stop his friend? If he wants to return the former? It will not be the new catastrophe, but this time for all?
This, alas, he did not know. Again a heavy sigh, Phil flapped its wings and headed towards their students.
********
Pov Christine.
After that strange incident, I seemed to have forgotten what the rest is. That bear... He never left my head. I tried to understand the meaning of his actions and words, as if they was something important. Thinking about it, I didn't even noticed how invested your whole self in training and study. Like my subconscious "I" very much wanted to become stronger, but for what?
Don't know why, but after this meeting, I began to feel that something bad is coming. Something will happen soon... But what? I didn't know that... somehow restless in my soul.
It took a few days before came the weekend and I finally did, a little, to relax. After a grueling workout, I had no strength to even walk that there is already talk about the games with Derek.
I'm so tired, but why do I have the feeling that this is not enough? I'm still weak! Compared to others, my strength is at the lowest level. I need more and more power!
But what should I do?
I can't ask mister Phil about additional classes. Hmm...
The body of the Beast, I have not so developed, but the human body... Yes, I have some data suitable for becoming a Huntress, but this body there are downsides. For example, I don't have magic. So be a Hunter / mage, I obviously do not Shine, and the Weapons... Though I possess the sword, but to use it I have no idea. So what do I do? How to be? How to become stronger?!
After some thought I came up with the unexpected and at the same time, not a pleasant thought. Do I have to use his power? But... Damn, how reluctant! So for me, he's a slippery one! What if he does the other plans and uneasy "friendship"?! Yes, I now about the Arthur Lance! About this insolent boy, who, most likely up to something and I don't like. But probably will have to do step one. As the saying goes, he who doesn't risk doesn't drink!
Making a strong appearance, I quickly got dressed and ran out of the house without telling his household.
I ran towards the familiar Park and where possible I was waiting for it. It was almost the time when I got to that place. And even from a distance I saw a familiar silhouette, and once close enough he smelled and odor.
It was him.
- And you're quickly, quietly remarked Arthur, not even looking at me. - I thought you weren't coming.
I said nothing, trying to the end and not to doubt in my own mind, and only when he asked, I have already formed the answer:
- Well, what did you decide?
"I do," replied I, coldly looking at him. - I agree to your terms, but in exchange you don't lie to me. I don't trust everyone you meet.
- I'll take it, - said Arthur, and I thought he smiled slightly. He held out his hand, in token of confirmation of our words. Well... let's be good friends?
To this I said nothing, but obediently shook his hand in response.
If it was correct, I don't know, but the future will tell. After all, even we do not know what will happen tomorrow...
