The Breeders

Chapter 11 Not What It Seems

{HAWKE}

Bastard! I should have ripped his head off instead but I wanted him to suffer a little longer. Master was at his side now trying to stop the bleeding and calling for help. He didn't deserve to be taken to the doc he deserved death for what he did. I don't know why I sensed she needed help but I did, it was like she was connected to me somehow.

Even with how I felt about humans I've never felt any compassion

for them.

Compassion?

Compassion is what I felt for this woman. A human no less, a species that I despised more than anything. Hegan made sure of that my hatred towards humans started with him. The day my mother died I vowed to never trust humans again. Even planning my Masters downfall, by my own jaws he would pay for what he did. I would have my revenge on Hegan and he would beg for his life as I took it from him. It was what fueled me to go on and be the very best.

Her whimpering brought me out of my thoughts, her bright blue eyes filled with tears. I curled my body around her small fragile frame, her clothes ripped from her body. How could anyone hurt something so precious and weak. I wanted her to have someone that would protect her no matter what and know they would never leave her. Her cries ceased for a moment until I finally nuzzled her with my head when she began to cry. I thought it was because she was afraid but she pulled me in close to her rubbing her face into my fur.

This human woman had been through so much within the last few days, she didn't ask for this and for the first time I felt bad for a human. Yet I think she was the only one I felt that way towards whatever my reason I wouldn't allow anyone to harm her again. Deep down that very thought confused me and elated me.

An old woman came to help her, she smelled of the earth, my guess she was a healing woman. The old woman grabbed her away from me, not even phased by me and clearly not afraid. She helped her inside as she limped towards the door and I followed close behind ensuring her safety. The old healing woman laid her on a bed grabbing things that smelled of the earth. She tended to her rubbing them on her body all the while I snuggled close to her as her tears continued to fall. She then drank something that made her fall asleep. She looked peaceful now.

"Hawke lets go." My Master called out to me.

I wanted to disobey him to stay with the blue eyed woman. It's where I almost felt peace. But I could not ignore him, I had to obey him. I came baring my teeth and growling.

"I know Hawke." Hegan spoke, his hands balled into fist. "I'll bring you back later if that is what you want. For now the old woman needs to tend to her." Motioned by Hegan I followed.

I thought about my new toy as we neared where my enslavement was. I wasn't irritated that I didn't even get to play with my new toy. Yet I was excited to see what she was up to while I was gone. Maybe I could forget for a little while about the blue eye woman.

{Hegan}

What was I seeing?! There was no possible way that a man could survive a wound like that. There had to be an explanation, it was dark out and it could be anyone. Of course I was sure that it was Groves but without the light there was no way of knowing.

The trees blew swaying letting the moonlight shine through.

"What the fu-"

"Fuck" I heard someone else finish my sentence.

Then I did see correctly. Groves walking alongside Zay with no injuries. How can this be? Many men on patrol that knew what happened rushed over to Groves just like I had. As I got closer the whole situation got worse. Groves didn't look like Groves. I mean he did but this man had two arms and showed no emotion at all.
