The Nomadic

Chapter 6

Serana's P.O.V

---------

(Recap of chapter 4 end)

I jumped at the sound of Leaves shuffling and twigs snapping. I could feel my heart beating in my chest. This is it. Either its a male or a beast ready to eat me.

The noises gotten louder as it got closer. It must be big whatever it is. I wait in anticipation as it continue to get closer. A large Dark figure with horns stepped out of the brush making his presence known. I look up at him. He was the most beautiful male I've ever seen..

(End of recap)

He stood there frozen mid step as he take his surroundings in. He looked me over with furrowed brows and pressed lips, obviously not expecting an Half dead woman to be waiting for him. One thing I can say is that he was breathtaking. Was he even human?

The out of nowhere, the wood sprite flew from off his head and over to me, She began checking my head injury.

His skin was a few shades darker from pure white, completely blemish free. It gave me the impression that he might have been a noble man, but seeing how he was in the wilderness, that couldn't be right. He was taller than any man that I've met, and he was strong built. I could see the imprints of his muscles from under his rough dirty tunic. His wrists and ankles were bruised, leaving ugly purple and red blotches. An escaped prisoner maybe? But his face! His face looked as is the all creator himself took the time to carve it. His shaggy ink like hair hung loose so that it can tickle his strong jawline. Two bull like horns stood tall and proud on his head. His thick unkept eyebrows hung low above his liquid gold like eyes. I could see how when he inhaled, the stubble on his lip would tremble the slightest bit, and when he exhaled through his full lips the hair on the rest of his face would do the same. He was young, maybe around twenty or a little older.

All I can do was stare at him. I felt butterflies in my stomach but also unease too. I didn't know what to make out of him. A noble man? A prisoner? A mad man? All I know was that I had a feeling things won't be the same if I go with this man.

He didn't waste any time. He strode his way over to me and came down to one knee before me. His golden eyes met mine and his right hand rested on my right shoulder. I looked up at him, skeptical.

"Emergency mating? What happened to you?" His voice held so much base that it vibrated the air around me and made the hair on my arms stand. He looked over my broken body in concern.

"Yes, it's a long story.." I was barely able to whisper the words. He looked back into my eyes.

"Do you accept me to become your mate? If you accept we can talk about what happened to you when we get back to camp."

Camp. Hearing that made my heart hurt and made my body yearn for it. Camps are a safe place with security. Something I haven't had in a long time. Just thinking about it brought tears to my eyes that soon fell down my cheeks. A small hiccup left my mouth.

All I could do was nod to let him know that I accept him.

"Hey, hey, hey!" He called out in a gentle soothing voice "it's okay now, your safe and I'll fix you right up."

He leans in closed and wrapped one arm around my shoulders and the other gently under my knees. He then hauled me up and began walking the way he came from before.

I was stiff in his arms and felt awkward. I was so close to him that I could feel his heart beating in his chest. I could feel every muscle beneath this shirt and it made my stomach flip with nervousness. I've never let a male touch me willingly. It was strange to me. It wasn't so bad. To be honest I felt safe and protect for once and that made me relax into his arms. I layed my head on his shoulder and looked up at him. I guess he felt my gaze because he looked down and caught me staring. I looked away quickly, my face burning. A small rumble of laughter left his chest.

For the past couple of hours I've been drifting in and out of sleep. Usually the rocking in the male's step woke me but this time it was his voice.

"We are almost there." He informed me. All I do was nod my head against his shoulder.

"Whats your name?" He asked looking down at me.

"M-my name is Serana." I stutter out not meeting his eyes. "Whats yours?"

It was silent for a couple of seconds before he answers.

"Onyx."

Right when I was going to tell him that his name sounded familiar, we stepped into a small clearing.

There was a small pine cone hut, a fire with a wild boar roasting above it and some other things. But what really caught my eye was the boar. It's been a while since I have a decent meal.

As if to agree with me, my stomach began to make familiar noises. I was starving, and Onyx knew it. He chuckled.

"Before we eat I have to tend your wounds, OK?"

I nodded. Anything to get food.

He ducked into the hut and layed me down onto the bed role. He was on his knees beside me looking down at me.

"So whats bothering you? Where are you hurt?"

"M-my right wrist might be broken. I can't feel my left leg or arm. My right thigh has a gash on it and my head is bleeding.." I whisper.

"Wow, what happened to you, Serana?" He asked, his voice low and full of concern. He began unwrapping my bloodied cloth that I had binding my leg wound. And began cleaning and rebinding it with a clean cloth.

"I was attacked and nearly kidnapped by another male..." I said bluntly. I looked up at Onyx and saw that his full lips were pressed and that his eyebrows were furrowed, his golden eyes darkened with emotion. But he stayed quiet so I continued.

"He's been tracking me. A couple of days ago he tried to r**e me, but I managed to get away. And the next day he captured me and tried to take me home with him, but I also escaped. I ended up jumping off the cliff to get away from him. And that's when you found me.."I finished.

He had already patched up my leg. As I was talking, me began checking my numb leg, arm and wrist. As I finished speaking he moved to my head. He gently removed the bloody rag from my head and began cleaning the wound with a wet cloth.

"That was one leap of faith you took, you're lucky you've survived.." His eyes were dark and his face looked somber. He lifts my head the slight bit so that he could snake the new clean cloth under it. He wrapped it snugly around the wound and was finished. He looked down at me finally and I could see the anger in his face.

"If he were here I would kill him where he stand." He say lowly. So low the bass in his voice vibrated the air again. His tone grown deadly and it scared me a little. His hands were balled into fists. He took a deep breath before speaking again.

"Do you think he is still after you?"

"I'm not sure. He probably thinks I'm dead. I did jump off a cliff." I answered "Whats going to happen now?"

He was silent for a while before he spoke.

"We are going to leave early in the morning. You need a doctor. I think you're loosing alot of blood but I don't think it's anything too life threatening. When we find a doctor, we will go from there." He said.

He stood up and walked over to the boar. I couldn't turn my head at the moment because if I did I might get dizzy. So I just waited. After a couple of minutes he returned with a cloth in both hands, in each cloth were a long slab of meat from the boar. My mouth watered.

"Here..open your mouth." He ordered. I did what he told me to do and he dropped a piece of food in my mouth. I began chewing and swallowed.

He continued feeding me until I was too full to eat anymore. After my appetite was satisfied, he began to eat himself. When he was finished it was dark out and it was time to sleep. He took a spot next to me and whispered go to sleep. And I didn't object. I snuggle myself in the bed role and soon fell in a deep slumber.
