All Chapters of Aurelia:The Huntress: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

A hum from under her back woke her. The night blue of the sky slowly faded as she opened her eyes in confusion and looked around. She was lying next to the slumbering Pareios, he had put an arm around her and covered both of them more badly than well with their clothes. The humming demanded her full attention and she quickly got up and rummaged around in the jacket pocket on which she had been lying for her cell phone.She expected more than a phone call and wondered who would put her worry about him.The display told her that it was half past six in the morning and that Evrill had just woken her up."Yes?" When she answered in a low voice, Pareios began to stir. He stretched himself still half asleep, but when he noticed that she had the phone to her ear, he was immediately wide awake and sat up."Morning!" Greeted Evrill happily and a load fell from her heart, since everything was apparently all right. “I followed the three guys, a driver and one

Aurelia and Pareios discussed the latest developments in their mission for a while.War!That one word echoed in her head, her mind, her bones, just everywhere. That could not be true! How the hell was that possible? Of all things, the council to which her people had entrusted the leadership of the Legion. Especially those that they all trusted to direct their fortunes towards happier days. And now these people were preparing a secret war of aggression? What conditions had driven them to do this? What if Markus hadn't passed on the information about the Hegedun test series to the other 10? What if they didn't know what their real danger was, judging by their vision, which they probably didn't know about either ... Your head was spinning!When this whole thing had started, she had no idea what they had slipped into. At first it looked like a job that had to be done and then all hell fell on her. They had stumbled from ambush to ambush, which made it very clear to

Everything around them was bathed in a blood-red light. Like the reappearance of flames, the paint licked flickering across the faces of their opponents. A searing heat flared up next to her and almost seared her hair on her skin. She turns her head and saw Pareios.But she couldn't see anything of his skin, his hair, his clothes. He was like a living torch, the flames licked all over his body, only the contours could be grasped in the shimmering heat and the play of the fire. The eyes shone orange, almost whitish, like steel embers and the wooden floor under his feet soon ignited, paired with a considerable amount of smoke.Before her opponents or Aurelia could overcome their surprise, the living conflagration rushed to the three Elevenders that were closest to her. No sooner had he even touched her than they screamed in agony. Shortly thereafter, a tremendous heat surge went through the room, the flames from Pareios' body spread to his victims and left them burning.

I beg your pardon?" Aurelia was thunderous and her brain refused to understand the meaning of these words."I think you understood me." Pareios was still lying next to her in bed, but inside he was miles away. They stared at each other, Aurelia confused, Pareios waiting. He tried to keep his expression neutral, which in view of the situation looked bizarre, as if he had put on a stone mask. Maybe he was in shock too?Her mind preoccupied itself with a meticulous inventory of Pareios' facial expressions, simply not wanting to deal with what she had just heard. For if this was really true, didn't it change the meaning of the last few days fundamentally? What exactly had her intuition scented in that old farm? Why was this Dante there? What did he have to do with the test series?"And is it him?"Pareios laughed bitterly and in his eyes she read a well-hidden sadness. "Find it out. Only you know for sure! "Aurelia wanted to take his hand, comfort him

"I ... I ..." Aurelia stammered, unable to think of any consequences if she had to turn away from either. She dropped her left hand and pressed it into the covers. Maybe screaming or yelling helped, or fainting a faint ... She felt a violent anxiety and the desire to escape this moment as quickly as possible. The whole running, real and in front of herself, had probably made her an animal of flight.“I can't decide. Not now and not like this. It's all so much and suddenly and… ”she broke off desperately and watched how he soaked up the turmoil in her body.They both turned their heads to the door when there was a loud knock and Syrus appeared shortly afterwards. He was pushing a small cart on which bandages and other medical equipment were piled.“Hello Aurelia. How do you feel? ”He asked into the tense silence and slowly walked towards the bed, pulling the mobile wound care mobile behind him. He didn't seem to be awar
