The Human Mate

CHAPTER FIVE -- Hunter

Raven Lynn Stone

The first 15 points of the game we're going pretty well, Charisse can receive every spike this girls can pull off and it looks like they're getting pissed about that, so they targeted Rina who's face is now on the floor because of the hard spike that was given to her.

I glance at the clown girls who just laughed at Rina, geez such attitudes maybe this is the bad thing that Cass was talking about yesterday. Oh? I wonder where's Cass? I thought we're in the same P.E class today? I just shrugged and helped Rina to stand up.

"Hey, are you okay?" I worriedly asked, so she just smiled.

"I-It's painful but it's alright shall we continue? I'm finally enjoying it now," She said touching her slightly red face, which made me chuckle.

"Atta girl! Let's go!" Charisse cheered who's now slapping Rina's butt, so I just laughed.

Yuna informed me that she'll be setting the ball for me to spike it this time because whenever Charisse or Rina receives, she only ended up dropping it on the other side because she can't set it well because the receives were always really close to the net.

"Sure I'll give what I can," I confidently said earning laughs from the opposite side of the court.

"Hey new girl don't get too cocky cause we'll crush you together with those animals!" the clown said, but I didn't mind her and just proceeded on Zone 2.

The score is now 16 and 11. Unluckily, we're the team that has 11 points and it's the opponent's service, Charisse received it very well and Yuna shouted my name before she uses her fingers to set it on Zone 2, my position.

It was like everything become slow motion when I have approached the ball, I never thought I would jump really high again and spiked the ball on the first line, two opponents tried to block it, but no one has received my spike, it's our point!

Yuna, Charisse, Rina, Karen, LJ, and I started to run on the center to cheer and hug each other like we have won the whole set.

"That was one powerful spike back there Rave!" Charisse cheered while complimenting me.

"That was really awesome! No one even tried to receive it!" LJ said it like she was so really amazed about that, so I just laughed.

After that spike, we started to earn some wild crowds and cheerleaders causing me to be more pressured around our surroundings but aside from that, I felt one familiar stare so I tried to look around and found a pair of red eyes near our benches together with Carson, Zach, and Liam watching our game.

Seeing his eyes dance in amusement made my heart flutter. Ugh! I'm starting to hate myself for having these thoughts that I can't quite understand. I have just met him... why am I feeling like we're already attached? I just shrugged and focused on our game.

But our game was interrupted by a message that was channeled through the speakers of the gym.

"Good day students, we are suspending our classes for today due to the attacks that have happened earlier near Uranus street, I hope all students will go straight home to their houses and never go out until our Hunters have found the animal that killed a person just now," The man on the speaker said, he's probably our principal after he announced that students start to panic and ran outside like there's a zombie apocalypse that has happened. 

I furrowed my eyebrows and looked around my surroundings, I was surprised to see that Charisse and Yuna were nowhere to be found. Where did they go?

I was about to look for them when someone grabbed my hand.

"J-Jason?" I said the moment that I saw him. He's wearing decent clothes today, a grey fitted v-neck shirt that shows how well-built his body was, and denim loose jeans.

"Hey, Rave! Your dad asked me to pick you up and to keep you safe," he smiled showing his cute dimples, I didn't notice that yesterday, so I reluctantly nodded. I heard something growls angrily, I tried to look around only to find red pairs of eyes that are glaring at us.

Zionel is now glaring at Jason's hands that were still holding mine, he looks like he was about to kill something and he finally looks into my eyes. He looks so hurt and my mind didn't like that, but before I could even call him out he left, turning his back against us with his hands in a very tight grip.

"What's wrong?" Jason looked to where I was looking, but he's already gone. I don't know why but I feel so awful right now.

"N-Nothing.. let's just go home," I said feeling my whole body becomes so heavy as I walk towards the shower room to get my things and left the school with Jason.

I let Jason drive my car and my thoughts were flying around somewhere cause I didn't notice that we already arrive at my house. Jason was already holding the door for me and all is left is for me to get out of the car.

"T-Thanks for taking me home," I said while getting out of the passenger seat trying to smile even though I'm not in the mood to.

He noticed that I wasn't with myself so he decided to ask, "Is there something bothering you? You can talk to me about it you know?" he offered.

"Nah... it's just the news earlier, I got worried about it" I lied, but it looks like he has decided to believe that. He then pats my head and smiled. He was gorgeous, but now I can't compare Zionel to him. Zionel is too perfect for my eyes. I just shrugged, sighing upon remembering his hurt expression earlier.

"Don't worry, we'll be hunting that animal this afternoon," he sounded like he was reassuring me, so I just smiled feeling the rest of my energy goes down.

"Jason? Oh! Darling! Is that you?" My mom shouted at the front door and ran towards me to hug me.

Jason bowed at the sight of her, "I'm going now Mrs. Stone, I was just told by her dad to take her home, we're going to hunt that animal now," he informed her.

"Oh is that so? Thank you, dear Jason! Please be careful okay? Tell that to my husband too," she said, you can tell that she's starting to get worried too.

"Thank you Mrs. Stone and I will sure do!" with that Jason eyed me while flashing a smile on his lips, showing his dimples and left.

I was about to turn my back when my mom stopped me.

"Hold up young lady how was your first day? Eat up and wash first before going to the bedroom," she said, so I have no other choice but to obey her, my whole body is too tired to argue.

We both went to the dining and my eyes lit up upon seeing a devil dark chocolate cake. Without another word, I grabbed a plate and used the serving spoon to put the delicious cake on my plate.

I took mouthful bites and even though the cake was really delicious it didn't cheer me up.

"Was it that bad?" I faced my mom who now looks worried beside me, so I just shook my head and smiled.

"It was really great mom I have made friends, it's just.. the news earlier got me so worried," I said while taking another bite.

"I see, yes I heard your dad called Jason while leaving the house the moment he has found out about that attack, and someone got killed," she worriedly said while sighing.

"He's also worried that we might leave him again just because of these attacks," my mom added causing me to stop.

"He doesn’t have to think that way, I don't want to leave him, I'm not actually scared about the life-threatening news around here, so he doesn't have to worry about that," I honestly said, so my mom looked at me proudly and just patted my head.

Why almost everyone is patting my head? I'm not a dog you know?

After finishing the rest of my food, I left my plate in the sink and went upstairs to take a bath it's still early like a quarter to 2:00 p.m. so I have decided to open my laptop and watched some movies and series on Netflix for hours again just trying to forget Zionel, but I just can't!

Stop running into my mind! I mentally shouted, I feel like I'm going crazy right now. My attention was caught when I heard something that was thrown into my window.

Glancing on my two-way door, I saw a bunch of small stones that were consistently being thrown into my terrace, they're making it dirty!

Trying to calm myself down, I opened my two-way door to find the villain who's making my terrace dirty and I was shocked seeing Zionel down there. How did he found my house? His mesmerizing red eyes bore into mine as relief washed over his face.

"Can you come down here with me for a moment?" he asked calmly, but he looks so serious and even though it was not really loud I have heard it clearly.

Slightly confused, I just nodded. I closed my two-way door and ran downstairs. I tiptoed before going out to the door so that mom won't ask where am I going at this moment, it would just embarrass me.

While closing our main door, I exhaled and faced Zionel who is now looking at me intently. I was gulping while walking towards him and oh great God's he's really so hot and handsome! I also noticed that it was starting to get dark, maybe it's already six in the evening. What is he doing here really?

"S-So what's the problem? H-How did you found my house?" I asked slightly stuttering and he just eyed me from head to toe and I don't know if it's just my hallucination or what but I saw his eyes glinted with desire and lust.

I eyed myself and mentally slapped myself upon seeing my outfit, I was already wearing my white nightgown that is really short. Great! Good thing I was still wearing my bra.

"I-It was not that hard really, this is just a small town after all," he said while averting his gaze somewhere from the woods. Why even his voice sounds hot? I shrugged and felt the cold breeze hugged my body.

"Hey, you didn't answer my other question," I mumbled while trying to hug myself from the cold breeze that the evening blows, and as if he have noticed that, I instantly flinched when he grabbed my hand, the sparks were igniting inside my body.

Feeling the warmth of his hands against mine made me feel better than okay, I sighed in contentment because I wasn't feeling cold anymore.

"There, it's mine again," he said and I looked at him weirdly when he started to rub my palms with his like he's cleaning some dirt into it.

"I just wanted to see you, that's why I went here," he added finally eyeing me again and my heart starts to flutter. My body stiffened when he tightened his grip on my hands like he doesn't want to let it go.

"W-What--" I was about to ask why, but he cut me off.

"Do me a favor will you Ravey? Don't let others touch you without your consent besides me," before I could even say another word he left, running really fast towards the woods leaving me confused with the words that he has said.

O-Okay... what just happened? I was still gathering my thoughts until I have found myself already inside my room. What does he mean about that? I should not let others touch me but he can touch me even without my consent? That isn't fair right there, but why I am not complaining?!

I was busy cursing myself out when I heard my mom called me downstairs. When I went there, I saw dad in the living room looking so serious while talking to mom who looks slightly against to what he was saying.

"Dad, mom," I said catching their attention, so they both glanced at me.

"There you are sweetheart," my dad said acknowledging my presence and smiled, I smiled back as I went towards the couch to seat with them. They’re both on each other sides, so I’m basically cornered.

"So what's up?" I asked slightly curious, my mom eyed my dad with her eyebrows raised and he just shrugged. What's happening?

"Sweetheart, I want you to be part of our Hunter Organization," he said straightly to the point causing my jaw to drop on the floor.
