Hunted… from “Charmeine” in “The Light-Bearer Series” by Emily Guido

The Blood-Hunter’s cell buzzed. Before he could get a chance to say hello, he heard, “Why did you not complete the task I gave you?”
He gruffly explained, “Because I got interrupted by a hero Blood-Hunter, that is why. The freak was defending her and then she threw her lightning at me.”
Pascal the leader of the Elder Council ordered, “I need her. I need that Light-Bearer now! Your job is to see she makes it to Athens. Post-haste!”

The Blood-Hunter said, “Well that’s going to happen shortly. I have them staked out at the beach. She won’t get away. They can’t run from me. I’m the best ‘Hunter’ in the US.”
“Well, apparently you are not as accomplished as you claim to be. However, she is essential to my plans. I want her. I always get what I want. Do you understand? If you cannot do the task because of this Blood-Hunter, get some more help!” Pascal censured the Blood-Hunter and hung up on him.
“Damn it!” the Blood-Hunter growled as he closed his phone. He looked at the trio as they were packing up about 300 yards away from him. He threatened, “You can run baby, but you cannot hide.”

As the sunset came and went, Tabbruis, Charmeine and Shane all started to pack up the Charger to go back to the hotel. It was getting colder on the beach.
They dressed in jeans and tennis shoes. Charmeine put on a thin zipper hoodie and Tabbruis and Shane put on T-shirts. Going to the car with the last beach bags, Tabbruis put them on the floor of the back seat. Tabbruis stole a sweet, soft, kiss from Charmeine by the car.
Shane grunted, rolled his eyes and slumped down behind the steering wheel yelling out to them, “Come on guys, there’s only so much public display a guy can take, especially when it’s from his best friend. I mean Tab; she is like my big sister. Yuck…”
Charmeine and Tabbruis both stopped and said together in a sing, song voice, “Sorry Shane.”
Shane said, “Very funny guys, very funny.” Hiding their hands from Shane, they held hands with the white light swirling around them and were giggling like teenagers.
Just then, Tabbruis’ early warning system went off! His green eyes turned black and pushed Charmeine back against the car and yelled, “Get in the car now!”

Tabbruis looked at Shane in the eye. The message was received immediately! Shane got out and grabbed Charmeine and threw her in the front seat.
Shane pulled down the back seat of the Charger and shouted, “Tab! I have a weapon here.”
Tabbruis saw Shane pull out an automatic rifle. Tabbruis said, “Guns are not very effective against them, but guns can slow them up. Good thinking.” Tabbruis grabbed the rifle.
Charmeine said, “What’s going on? What’s happening?”

Tabbruis reached his hand over the seat touching her face and said, “It only took one look of your face to give me peace.”
Charmeine got the point, the Blood-Hunter was back and Tabbruis would sacrifice himself to protect her. Tabbruis said sternly to Charmeine, “Stay with Shane! You have to be safe!”
Tabbruis turned to Shane and said, “Listen to me, there is a man named, Dmitri, his number is programmed in my cell.” He threw the phone in his beach bag, “Dmitri will make sure whatever is required to keep you both protected!”
Then he put his hand on Shane’s shoulder and said, “Get her as far as away from here as you can.”

Wow!
I wrote it, and this snippet gives me chills still…
Does that ever happen to you?
Do you ever watch a movie like the film made by the master,
Alfred Hitchcock’s,
‘Psycho’
and still jump at the shower scene?
I love the song that goes with this snippet too.
It really touches the feelings of the scene!
