Chapter 6~

          Aaron watched anxiously as Danielle stirred slightly in her sleep.  Her pretty features seemed so pale against the white cotton of the bed sheet in the hotel room.  He probably shouldn’t have used his physic abilities against her, but he didn’t want to lose her again.  Like he had lost Ella.  His long-lost lover’s face came to life in his mind--- her long, slightly curled brown hair, those amber eyes you could get lost in for days.  Aaron mentally backed out of the memory, knowing from experience it was never good to relive your past.  Luckily, Danielle chose that moment to wake.

          She looked so vulnerable, almost childlike, as she searched the room in confusion.  As her bright green eyes took in the room, she sat up.  Bringing a hand up to her glossy hair, she stopped and looked at Aaron as if she knew he had been there the whole time, even though he hadn’t made a sound.

          “Where am I?”  She asked, a question that was demanding, but held traces of defeat and fear as well.

          “We’re at a hotel, a couple towns over from your friend’s.”  Aaron replied.

          “Traci!”  Yelped Danielle, as if she was just realizing they had left her friend.  “Is she okay?  I wonder if she knows where I am—Oh God.  You didn’t hurt her, right?  Please tell me you didn’t hurt her…”

          Aaron sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed, not missing Danielle’s flinch.  “You’re friend is fine.  I wiped her memory of your visit, and she should be fine.”

          Danielle breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back against the headboard.  The sheets rustled softly, and Aaron smiled gently.  He moved a few feet closer to her, and drew his feet up until he was sitting fully on the bed.  “You know, I wont hurt you, Danielle.”

          Danielle sighed and gave him a look that could have meant anything.  “Aaron—look.  This just…  isn’t going to work, okay?  I’m sorry if you thought there was anything between us, but I need to go home, and sort out what my life has become, okay?”

          Aaron shook his head.  “No.”

          Danielle scoffed incredulously, “What?”

          “I said, no.  I’m sorry, but I can’t let you leave.  Danielle—“

          Danielle was out of the bed in an instant, her hair in disarray as she smoothed out her jeans and shirt.  “Aaron, leave me alone!  I’m going home, and no one can stop me.”  The glare she gave him was scathing.

          Aaron shook his head and climbed off the bed.  Reaching out, he out a light hand on Danielle’s arm.  Her warmth seeped into his hand, warming him greatly.  She froze, apparently surprised by his touch.  Coming closer, Aaron wrapped his arms around her and kissed her.  Just kissed her.  Letting all of his love and warmth seep into it.

          “Please don’t leave me.”  He whispered.

Short again/  =/  My apologies.

Chapter 7~

          Danielle was the first to draw away from Aaron’s impulsive kiss, but she stayed within the safe, warm cage of his arms.  As he tilted her head up so that she was looking at him, strands of doubt resurfaced.  Could she really leave him?  Danielle wondered if she could ever burn away the memories of his unruly brown hair and warm brown eyes.  Now voicing her fears, she stepped back and slid down until she was on the bed.

          “What now?”  She asked simply.

          “Well, we can’t stay here,” commented Aaron, sitting down beside her.  As she leaned against his side, Danielle wondered if her emotions could have changed—rather foolishly at that--- with the force of one kiss.  God, she was in for it this time.  As Aaron shifted a little to accompany her weight, Danielle let a small sight leak.

          “We’ll go to my cousin Kita’s,” murmured Aaron, as if to himself.  Sitting up again, Danielle tilted her head.

          “Who’s Kita?” she asked, feeling a little bit of worry drain away, then get replaced by more of a different sort. At least Aaron was trying to keep her safe.  But who was this Kita?  Why did they need to leave the hotel?  A thousand questions ran through her, but she kept her mouth shut.

          “Kita’s my cousin, a wolf shifter,” said Aaron after a long while.  “We’ll be safe there, at least for a while.”

          “What do you mean, ‘safe?’” asked Danielle cautiously as the worry niggled at her stomach.  Where there more shifters like Aaron?  Hideous, evil ones?  In all her years, she had never wanted to truly accept that there would always be evil in the world.  And right now seemed like a good time to do just that.

          “Well, until you’re bonded, you’ll be a target by Silas Finche.  But after you are, you should be safe.”  Danielle didn’t miss the ‘should’ in his statement.

          “Who’s Silas Finche?”  Danielle asked.

          Aaron stiffened visibly, not a very good sign.  “Silas Finche is the worst of our kind.  He was once a scientist, but has since turned for the worst.  After discovering the secret to creating DNA that could enable you to take any form, he became, dangerous, ambitious.  He is a danger to our race and yours.”

          “Why?”  Asked Danielle, almost relieved to hear that her voice held a hint of fear.  She wasn’t quite ready to give that up yet, even though she had a hunch that bravery on her part would soon be needed.

          “Silas Finche wants to take over the world, to put it bluntly.  He thinks that the human race should have been hunted by our kind long ago.”  Danielle stiffened.  “If not being forced into extinction, he believes humans should be enslaved, or treated much like animals.  Some,” Aaron smoothed away a stray strand from Danielle’s face, “Like you, would be used, solely to help our population grow in numbers, though the females of our race could do that.  And yes,” Aaron answered the question on Danielle’s lips, “That would mean having offspring with human women like you.”

          Danielle shook her head, blinking back a few small tears.  How had her world turned upside down like this?  Aaron had brought her into this, but if she was compatible with his type---wait, what did that mean?

          “What do mean by ‘human women like me?’” Danielle asked.

          Aaron tilted his head to one side, as if contemplating how to explain something to her.  “Danielle, you are a very special human.  You can breed with my species, and carry our young.  Females of our race can do the same, but you are still very unique, nonetheless.  Our race can sense theses women, and you are one of them.”

          Danielle sighed and leaned back.  Well, this was getting more complicated than she liked.  But right now, she could only trust Aaron.  The true question was, how to go from here?
