I Am A Second Female Lead - Chapter 23
She starts roasting the meat. When the meat is prepared. She begins eating like there is no one beside her.
While eating, she, glance at him, and she saw he is looking at her with his folded arms seating there like a king
Sheri twitches her eyebrow. She’s a little irritated due to his looking straight at her. Making her not to eat comfortably.
“Ahh for heaven’s sake,” Sheri said and put down her food and went inside. She grabbed a slice of big meat and start grilling. That meat was supposed to be eaten for half a month, but she can’t stand that someone is looking at her while eating.
After she roasted the meat. She went and handed to him.
“Here, eat,” Sheri said. Hunter raised his brow, He didn’t receive it, so Sheri just put in front of him on the ground. When she’s done eating, she went to her usual spot and grabs her mug of hot tea and slowly drink it. After an hour she’s sleepy, so she went inside her tent. Hunter on the other side followed her.
She went to her bed and wraps her self with blankets and fall asleep not caring anymore what will happen toward her. If this mission is unsuccessful, she will still be able to go back to her own world, she will just deal with the consequence later on. It doesn’t matter she will make sure in those months she will double her work and face whatever she has to face. For Sheri what is the used of being afraid? One way or another she can go back to her world.
When Sheri went to sleep Hunter observed her. He was checking out her place. Everything was foreign and unfamiliar to him. He quietly touched everything that she has. The tent, her clothes that are hanging, her shoes, the knife she has, even her undėrwėȧr. After adequately fulfilling his mild curiosity, He stealthily approached the sleeping area of Sheri and sits down next to her watching the way she breathes evenly.
Morning came, Sheri opened her eyes carefully. She instantly remembers the leopard man. She slowly goes outside peeking and checks if he’s nonetheless there. She was ecstatic to see no one outside her tent. She was cheerful and was thinking to move out of that place and look for another cave, but She stops from her thought and remembers her secondary mission.
She was supposed to return to her tent when on her right side of her eye. She saw the plate she used to put the big lump of meat for him to eat and now it’s empty. She smugly takes the plate and went inside. She starts preparing her breakfast thinking that the leopard will not come back. She made a fruit salad.
After a few minutes, she starts eating. While eating, she perceived a movement on her back she looked back and was frozen. Her spoon stuck in her mouth. She saw Hunter carrying a big deer in his back and laid the deer in front of her. She looked at the deer and looked at Hunter with a perplexed looked.
“Exchange for the meat yesterday,” explained Hunter. Sheri was shocked when she understands him. He speaks eloquently fluent English.
“You, You understand me?” shockingly she asked suspiciously.
“Yes.” Hunter proudly said.
Sheri merely dropped her spoon. This was not in this pathetic story. How was it possible? ” System hello can I ask something?” Sheri speaks in her concerned mind but after a few minutes, no one answers her.
She sighs hopelessly.
“So all those odd times you understand me?” she asked again.
“hmm” acknowledge Hunter.
She stood up from her seat and faces him while folding her arms. She tilts her head toward him. He was still taller than her. “So tell me, who are you? And what do you want from me?” Sheri asked.
Hunter was not intimidated. “My name is Hunter. I am the leader of the Leopard race that you called. The woman you saved last time was my sister. I want to thank you.” Hunter mildly said.
She was surprised to see indeed that leopard is also white. “How is she?” She asked.
“She is fast recovering now.” He said gratefully and sits down next to her seat. Her eyebrow twitches. “This leopard is starting to feel comfortable in her cave.” she thought. She sits down on her seat and continues to eat while looking at the dead deer in front of her.
“If you want to thank me, you better help me, I am looking for a pendant,” Sheri said and draws on the ground the style of the pendant. “It’s very important to me,” she said.
“Hmm, ok we will help you but you better help us also.” Hunter looked at her while she’s eating the exotic fruits in her bowl.
“I already helped you, at least what you can do, is help me to look for that pendant.” Sheri arrogantly said.
“I can hunt for you if you want and I will make sure you are protected here,” Hunter bargain while looking at her.
Sheri was silent for a few minutes. Indeed, it’s very hassling to keep on hunting and who knows what she will encounter in the near future.
“All right, deal.” Sheri extends her hand.
Hunter just looked at her wondering. She just waves and pulled her hand. “They don’t know what a handshake. Dumbass.” Sheri scolds herself.
She stands up and grasps the knife at the side and starts preparing the deer. Hunter on the other side sits and observed her. Her skill in cutting is fast and accurate. That was his thinking.
After she prepared the deer. She looked at him.
“So what help do you want me to do,” she asked Hunter.
“Tell me first what is your name? And, What kind are you? Where did you learn to cut meat?” He asked nonstop.
“My name Jaclyn Eisner, I am human. I don’t transform and am a soldier. It’s like a warrior in your world. I take down bad guys in my world,” She said truthfully.
Hunter was not shocked that she is a warrior. With the way she holds her knife, it already says who she is. He didn’t take the wrong guest that this woman maybe can save his race from those Tigers. The first thing Hunter thought is if this woman is the same as the other woman in the tiger race. His race will be undoubtedly saved.
