Sinik

I hardly slept that night my thoughts even more troubled than before. Once dawn crept into the sky i was up and ready to depart.

I waited impatiently while the camp slowly roused awake and gathered their things. I insisted we skip breakfast to reach Judah's territory as soon as possible. I knew he would have plenty for us all to eat upon arrival and i did not want to waste unnecessary time.

The group was quiet as we approached his territory cautiously. All was quiet as we rode up, too quiet.  It seemed even the forest had abandoned us with their relentless sounds

Suddenly a bullet struck nearly grazing my shoulder

"THAT WAS JUST A WARNING! WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU ON OUR TERRITORY!!!"

I dismounted and stood ahead of the group 

"I AM SINIK. I AM HEAR TO SEE JUDAH. IT IS IN REGARDS TO HIS SISTER, AYLA!!"

Silence

"Did you say Ayla?"  A voice called before a man appeared his hair and beard full overgrown but unmistakable in appearance

"Judah?" i  asked he looked slightly different. Far more rugged than before

He nodded clasping my hand in greeting

"Judah?" I heard Adora whisper 

His head snapped up at her voice. I could see his eyes cloud with confusion and hope

"Mother?!..... How?"

She didn't answer only jumped away from  behind Hunter and charged at him. She threw herself into his arms all but crushing him with her petite body;  Clutching him in a fiercely tight hold. His arms remained at his sides in blatant shock before he eventually returned her embrace

Her sobs echoed across the forest and all stood watching the intimate scene before Hunter finally approached .Adora reluctantly extracted herself from Judah as he turned to address us,  his face still clouded with emotion

"Come friends we have much to discuss" 

Nothing further was said as our entourage rode silently deeper into the humans domain. Downheartedly i recalled the last time we were here, was with Ayla. I felt my resolve to find her once again strengthen at the memory. 

As soon as we entered our entire party  froze. Up ahead figures moved about working and strolling about busily

Supernaturals!

"Judah what?" - Hunter said

"We have a lot to discuss Hunter" cutting him off, he  gave him a look he didn't contest

My gaze swung between the two but i too decided to also halt  my own questions.....for the moment. I expected all would be explained soon enough

Still I was astonished to see so many supernaturals, here of all places. Judah had made it clear that he hated them and his domain was for humans only.  How did they get here? and why did he suddenly allow it? 

**************

After refreshing ourselves we all gathered for the morning meal. Everyone was eager for the reprieve from travel and for the pleasure of good food and rest, but i was only concerned about information

"Okay Judah tell me how these supernaturals got here?" Hunter asked as the food was brought out and placed strategically around the table. The enriching and flavorful scents engulfed the area sending grumbling stomachs across the space

Hunter diligently loaded a full plate for Adora before filling his own. I ignored Torra siting beside me who decided to mirror his actions. She pushed it in front of me while i continued to fix my gaze on Judah awaiting his answer

Judah placed a hearty slab of ham in his mouth and chewed before slowly swallowing. He then wiped at his mouth before speaking

"They found me"

Hunter and I exchanged glances 

"What do you mean? How can that be? Supernaturals still think humans are extinct"

"My scouts outside our border came ac-" He began until a lone figure walking caught my attention. 

I Instantly jumped to my feet in outrage. Murkan, stood there amongst the other supernaturals

"WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE?!!!!!!" .....................................
