Her reflection
Last Updated:
2020-08-26 01:50:31Cat turned off the vacuum cleaner, unrolled the cord, and set it up against the wall. Armed with a rag and polishing spray, she moved the nicely lacquered armrests of a hundred armchairs. Your practiced fingers applied the care product and worked it in gently with the cloth. She didn't like the smell, but every time she was amazed how the stuff changed from cloudy to clear through leisurely wiping and practically vanished into thin air. Like a spell that wasn't.
Physically explainable, not an insoluble secret and she liked that even more. She regularly polished hundreds of armrests, dusted chandeliers and candle chandeliers, vacuumed endless square meters of red velvet carpet. Contrary to her initial expectations, she really enjoyed the job. And not just because it was actually the first one she'd kept for more than a few months.
The steady work was comforting. The opera house, where she cleaned for nearly four years, hadn't changed much since then. It has stood indest

Aurelia:The Huntress Karma
In the middle of Harpers'Quarter, the center of the big city Ceiling, MichamDevereaux strolled down a street and breathed the cool night air. It was late summer, the days were still hot, the air built up in the city until evening and the temperatures only dropped a little during the night, so that you could bear it outside.A kingdom for air conditioning , he thought on days like this. But that was not the reason why he was still on the road at this late hour, his digital watch showed exactly one o'clock. He pulled the backpack closer to his back and looked around unobtrusively. It was Saturday evening, so there were still some night owls out and about, making pilgrimages between the bars and discos and other entertainment venues.As always, he felt strange among all the normal people who had a job, drowned the boredom of their dreary life in a beer in the evening and finally went to bed every night knowing that the next day would be exactly the same.

Cat froze.After she made no sound, there was another knock. Damn it, how did the troublemaker get into the stairwell?She crept towards the door and when she passed the kitchen counter, she grabbed a long knife from the pad. Even if she generally felt safe because of her curse, a sharp weapon had something for itself when strangers knocked on the door at night. Shit, she'd thought of it now. For the first time in a long time. She took that as a bad omen, but that didn't stop her from sliding silently in front of the front door and positioning her eye in front of the spy. Unfortunately, she could hardly see anything.Either it was dark in the hallway, or he or she was standing so close to the lens that they could only see dark hair or fabric. Either way, she wasn't comfortable with the whole thing. Friends would have registered or at least recognized themselves immediately if they had to pay her nightly visits.In slow motion she put the chain in the rail

"Ok, ok, ok. I admit it. I'm calling because I need your help. Are you satisfied now? "You couldn't exactly call it satisfied. In fact, Xandra wished she could press the backwash button to hear the dark voice over the cell phone speaker saying that he'd just call to see her again. Perhaps offered a nice invitation for coffee, she didn't have such high demands."Oh please. Why was that so clear to me, you bursa ?! ”She only said that because she knew that the caller could take it, that's how everything started between them. What had started with a few teasing during their last visit to Wahrschau at a country estate of her family, turned into a short affair after a few dates and more flirtations, which Xandra would honestly have liked to continue. But as everything came to an end, so did her home leave and her father's guests had also left soon.It wasn't that she was angry with the guy on the other end of the line, both of them had known from

Xandra climbed the steps to the first floor and looked for her three companions. Because of their sheer size and the proportions of their shoulders, they weren't difficult to find. Her hunter stature clearly set her apart from the other club-goers, and Christian's light-blond hair and his cinematic appearance usually attracted a large number of admirers.She found Chris and Dareon, also affectionately known as the bear brothers or Fix and Foxi, in a booth in the corner, as expected, already besieged by two drunk club-goers. Chris exuded all his charm, but Xandra had seen so many times that the show lost its appeal. She knew the sequence very well. He was just laying his arms on the back of the couch, as if by chance one forearm landed behind the tall brunette. At the same time he sank deeper back into the cushion, as if trying to make himself comfortable. The movement only served to press her thigh against hers. That means they had already left behind the "I've seen you here before, I

"Come on, they're leaving," whispered Roman and immediately ran towards the stairs. Closed they left the club as fast as they could, snaking nimbly through the crowd until they finally passed the front entrance. There was no way an heir to the Empire like Cohan would go inconspicuously through the back entrance, it was miles below his dignity.Dareon ran to fetch her own car while the other three hid to the side where the cone of light under the entrance pavilion no longer reached.When he returned with the black SUV, Cohen and his entourage were just walking across the red carpet under the green, classy-looking tarpaulin and lo and behold, a car was already waiting for them. A long black limousine was parked on the side of the road and a real man's wardrobe got out on the passenger side, circled the vehicle and opened the door for his boss. They quickly disappeared into the sophisticated vehicle and drove off. Dareon wasted no time. He gathered his colle

Cat automatically ducked as she entered the small room used for visits. As in prison, the table and chairs that were in the middle of the room were bolted to the floor. The ceiling lamp was hidden behind bars and therefore lived in the best neighborhood.Cat held up the two brown cups in her hand, hoping to appease the wild bull. Ridiculous. Then she could have tried to put out a steppe fire with the pudding."Cathleen Morrison?" The tall man growled one more time, tearing his hair, which was now graying at his temples. “I almost didn't realize you were here. When did you want to call? "Luckily he was standing behind the table so that they were separated by a few meters. Cat would have given a lot to avoid the coming thunderstorm. Although she was not afraid of Eduardo Marquez, for her he was the closest thing to a parent or guardian. She knew he had cared for her, but he was one of the things she'd put off a year after she'd been released from the slap.

Xandra flipped through a file. She saw the letters on the A4 pages, but their meaning did not get through to her. She thought angrily about the phone call with her father. At that time she was almost 500 years old and yet she still let himself be ordered around by him. She had wanted to be nice and do Evrill a favor only to find out that her father already knew about the Order of Venus. Now she had the whole thing on her neck and of course Chronos expected top performance from her. That definitely included keeping the son of one of his best friends out of Legion affairs. These were excellent prerequisites to put the flirtations between her and Evrill in the sand, which was just beginning again. She urgently needed to remind herself to give her father the Oscar for repeatedly breaking her love life and making it seem like it had nothing to do with her. He was a bloody genius. It's just a shame that she didn't inherit this trait from him. Neither was his gift, nor such an annoying fac

That's what I'm saying. Bingo. The candidate has a hundred points! ”The blond woman, posing as a doctor, smiled happily and showed a flawless row of upper teeth. As if the smooth skin and the fabulous face weren't enough, she also had the perfect smile for a toothpaste advertisement.Cat swallowed and was glad for a moment that the beauty of the woman she was speaking to had captivated her enough to absorb the initial shock.So she was an Elevender. Whatever that meant. Did that mean she actually caused the deaths of two people even though she hadn't wanted to?Was there another explanation for this?"Then what is my ... power?"Xandra shrugged, an extremely conventional gesture, and she reassured Cat in a way no words could have done. Xandra might be different, but at least she was human, so so was Cat."Unfortunately, something like that is not written on your forehead, but ..." The tall Elevender walked slowly around the desk and pi

Aurelia:The Huntress Information
Dareon sprinted out of his room. As he walked, he tied the bow tie that went with the black tuxedo. He often wore suits when he went on his nightly jaunts and in his long life he had worn every kind of fine thread. Until yesterday he would have said nothing could surprise him anymore. But then Cat showed up and taught him otherwise.It had struck like a comet, into his halfway orderly world and now he had to grapple with unsettling thoughts. About the way she looked at him. How did her skin feel and how comfortable her lips?He hated the way he reacted to her and he wanted to just get in his car and sneak away. But what he said this afternoon was true. He wanted to fix what he had screwed up. And his sudden obsession with this woman had absolutely nothing to do with it!Determined to get tonight off the stage professionally, he turned the corner and reached the stairs to the foyer. His gaze fell on the assembled crew at his feet. Most were wrapped in the dark le
Aurelia:The Huntress Alone
The swinging double door slammed shut and they were alone.Her heart pounded from the unexpected contact with him when he had freed her from Christian's grip. She could still feel the warmth of his body on her back, the firm arm around her stomach, the breath that had brushed her hair. She hadn't been able to classify his reaction and was paralyzed.She stood still now, too, but for a different reason than before. Though she was really determined to act confident, she just wasn't. She wasn't really afraid of Dareon, but the angry look that surrounded him earned her a good deal of respect. Like trying to get close to a cobra. Better not to make sudden movements.Dareon had his broad back to her and was staring at the door as well. Her eyes stayed on her strong shoulders, her fingers tingled. She wanted so much to touch him. But when he turned to her, he looked so upset that she decided to postpone the fulfillment of this wish. She nervously pushed back her hair,
Aurelia:The Huntress Tonight
A little later, Cat was on the way to Ceiling. Xandra and Blaise were also in the car, the former driving.“What's going on between you two? Did something happen today at noon? ”Xandra asked after a while of quiet harmony. Much to Cat's chagrin, there was no need to discuss who 'you two' were. Dareon's behavior in Ferroc's office had been conspicuous enough, and apparently Cat's quick approval of the deal confirmed Xandra's suspicions. Since she already knew that Cat was into the guy, she hardly had to add one and one together."I'd like to know that too ...", Cat only mumbled and that was the truth. She had no clue what was going on in the object of her desire. Why he'd acted like that and then treated her so dismissively. "Dareon behaved quite ... inconsistently ... I can't figure him out.""So there was more to it than his rejection?" "Slightly."Blaise appeared between the two front se
Aurelia:The Huntress Dont worry
"And what did he say?"Cat had barely stepped off the elevator on the third floor when Xandra was already attacking her. Less enthusiastic, she reported without going into details, only that Dareon had refused. Especially the fuck off she left out.An arm came comfortingly around her shoulders. “Oh, that'll be fine. Give me a little time and I'll find someone else who can help you. I promise you, I won't leave you alone with this. "Cat looked into the sincere eyes and she almost came to tears. She couldn't believe that an almost stranger wanted to stand up for her like that. Besides, the idea of honing her gift with someone else didn't make her particularly happy. It should be Dareon. She couldn't get him out of her head and the need for his presence hadn't subsided despite his rejection."No. I'm ... just doing it with him ... "she mumbled to herself, lost in thought, while she thought of the pressure of his hands on her waist. The Elevender at he
Aurelia:The Huntress Chance
Dareon stood in front of a group of Elevender and tried to bring them closer to the benefits of close combat. He had put the people in pairs and was now watching them repeat the exercise he had shown them. It was about contact, because one of the basic rules of this technique was: Once you are close enough to the opponent that he can hit you, you have to forestall him. Therefore, he trained his students to seize control of the fight at this moment, to internalize the techniques in such a way that they forced their will on the opponent from this point on. He was not allowed to play again. At least that was the ideal. Of course it would be a while before his students were ready and he would teach them many other things that could save them from sticky situations.But for today he ended the lesson. He wasn't happy with the results they'd gotten, but wasn't sure if it was due to the ineptitude of his students, or maybe more to his miserable mood.More and more Elevenders h
Aurelia:The Huntress Private
The next morning came too fast for Cat's liking. The rays of the summer sun cheated through the gaps between the curtains that she had drawn up the night before. One of the bright spots of light finally blinded her when the golden ball in the sky had moved a little further, which put an end to her cozy doze. Sighing, she heaved herself out of bed and shuffled into the bathroom to freshen up. In the morning she slept for a long time and could also get a bit bitchy. She took her time and put on makeup again, as she used to wear with her goth look. She found the mascara and cajal she needed behind the mirror over the designer washbasin.In this way she regained a bit of her identity, which had been taken from her again yesterday. She wistfully wished for dark clothes, but then, resignedly, pulled on the forest green sweatshirt dress. It was long, but the length seemed fine. The hem came up just below her knees. She didn't even want to try the jeans, she would have needed a belt
Aurelia:The Huntress Depressed
After an hour in this tiny office, he couldn't take it anymore.Hard to believe, but the room was really losing size. The walls seemed to get closer and closer, it got darker and darker. But maybe the latter was just his eyesight. When a panic attack loomed, he got tunnel vision that was announced by a dark and blurred field of vision. The other signs of it were also raised. His neck felt like an elephant was sitting on it, and his hands and feet went numb. He figured he had about fifteen minutes before snogging the carpet. All the emotions in the room made him dizzy, he had to swallow hard as his stomach rebelled.Roman's inner fear billowed through Slater, his subliminal agony crashing against him like waves in the ocean. They tugged on him and he had to put both legs firmly into the ground to brave the onslaught. If Roman was around, it was worse. Then every smallest nuance of the Puerto Rican's emotional world spilled over to him and the more intensely the other fe
Aurelia:The Huntress Dream
Cat looked around the large room. If that was a hotel, it was probably five stars or something. She was standing right next to the entrance and to the right of her was the bathroom. Then the small hallway opened and widened into a huge room, the sand-colored walls of which were lit by soft skylights. The opposite front of the room was almost completely taken up by a frameless window, only the balcony door at the left end had room.The bed stood with the headboard on the right side, the wall behind it was covered with upholstered fabric in a pale gold tone. Two magnificent reading lamps hung down from above and enabled the separate lighting of both beds in the seductively comfortable double bed.Cat walked over and dropped into the chocolate-brown blankets. She landed face first on heavenly scented, soft pillows. A real boon after she hadn't slept or allowed herself to relax for a while. The exhaustion was not only physical but also mental and left her no peace even now
Aurelia:The Huntress Beyond good and bad
Xandra granted the young woman's wish. She had thought Catlynn Campbell was a fragile, withered branch, but today the young woman had shown amazing strength. After that day that would have blown even the toughest cop, she was still standing upright in Ferroc's office. Although she looked tired and had dark circles down to the back of her knees, her long, thick hair was tousled, the expression on her face was determined. The hand that held out the glass to Xandra did not tremble.After handing out vodka again to everyone involved and each taking a sip, Xandra decided to speak."Listen, Cat. You don't have to decide now whether you want to believe us. You can rest and maybe stay for a while while we try to get to the bottom of your gift. You can move around freely and watch Blackridge and how we live in peace. ""We have more than enough space!" Agreed Ferroc.Cat looked around, then gave them both a quick look. Finally she took a deep breath and nodded. "O
