Santi: The Devil's Pioneer

Chapter 38 - The Internal War

She sat there on the floor crying, hoping the pain would go away, but it didn't seem to stop. Her chest felt like it was going to explode, her stomach felt like it was being twisted and pulled and folded over inside. Her arms and legs felt like they were breaking, yet out of nowhere her arm and legs bent and broke uncomfortably, and feeling as though they were shattering. The pain had finally become so much that she gave up fighting it and let the world fade into darkness.

All she saw was the blue sky all around her when she opened her eyes. She didn't feel any more pain, so sat up and looked all her around her not seeing anything other than tall grass and trees. It looked as though she was in the middle of a meadow. She slowly stood to her feet and realized her body was naked. Her mind was swarming with questions, but they were questions that she didn't have the answers to, yet.

Don't worry everything is going to be fine, although as hot as our body is you might want to put some clothes on before anyone sees us." said a bubbly voice inside her head.

Whoa!! Okay now I'm hearing voices I have officially gone insane! She thought. Then all of a sudden, the memories from last night started coming back, the pain, the hospital, Emman and Kiki, the car accident, the blood, Kiki and Emman as Lions, and then pain and Darkness.

"Breath Em, just breathe, okay? You're okay and you're not hearing voices. You're hearing me, and I'm your inner Lioness, or as I joking like to say your inner BEAST-BABE! 'says a calm voice that then turns into cute giggles. I would tell you my name, but you never knew about me, so you never named me."

I never knew about you, but what do you mean by that? I am talking to a voice in my head! What do you mean by inner Lioness?" she asked trying to calm down, the thought of being naked in the woods completely forgotten at the moment.

"I have been a part of you since the day you were born, but our parents and Grams decided it would be safer if you didn't know who I was so that the hunters couldn't find us. They thought the same thing when Adam was born, but with him being older and a Beta male, he started communicating with his lion long before he first shifted. That was why he left us to go to that camp with Emman. He left, but he knew about his inner lion since the day he was born, he is our Alpha, and with our brother as his beta, but they always protected us. Alex, Adam's lion, has often spoken to me without Emman knowing We both hoped that one day you and I could get to know one another. I just hope you won’t reject me because I am a part of you as much as you are a part of me, the inner voice sounded sincere and slightly sad in her mind

She thought over the events last night of how all Derek and Adam were trying to do was protect her, How Peter had always been overprotective, how Emman was always bossy with her and would tease her but in a weird way that most of the time left her smiling.
